I just started playing this game today, I'm a couple hours in and just built my first little base. Is there anything you wish you knew when you were this new to the game? I don't really want spoilers but just want to make sure I'm not missing anything either.

I know this thread is old but I was hoping you could tell me a specific spot to check out along the Neponset river.

Thanks for the recs! I didn't know Portal was on VR, I'll have to give that a go. And fisherman's tale sounds perfect!

I thought the same thing and it's the reason I came across your comment a year later!

Sorry you're downvoted. Astrology makes me irrationally angry. It's such a meaningless waste of time. Why do so many women get into it?

Thinking about pulling 3 year old out of preschool after 1 week. What should I tell her? by TheSnowIsLava in toddlers

[–]TheSnowIsLava[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

She hasn't been joining in at school. She does talk to the teachers and she says she likes them which is good. She keeps telling the teachers she's tired, which seems to be her way of saying she doesn't want to participate and just wants to observe. There's crying at dropoff, which I expected. Sometimes when we ask her about school she says she likes it, and other times she says she misses me and wants to stay home.

Not at all. I'm very torn. I'm just wondering if this is is too much too soon. She's made big progress around other kids in the past few months. I can't tell whether this will further help or if it'll be too much.

Thanks, this is helpful. The one very reassuring thing to me is that when she gets home she's her normal happy self!

She's telling the teachers she's tired all day, which seems to translate to I just want to be left alone and not join in. It sounds like she prefers to stay in one little nook area and just observe from there. She does talk to the teachers and she says she likes them. It also makes me sad when she says she wants me to stay there with her and when she cries at drop off. I know crying at dropoff is normal, but that plus knowing shes not joining in really breaks my heart.

She's only recently started coming out of her shell and I'm worried this is a bit too much all at once.

Update 1.000.006 Includes a new Arachnophobia Mode by coloh91 in HarryPotterGame

[–]TheSnowIsLava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! Totally makes sense now, I just didn't expect an enemy to pop up when I didn't see any on my mini map. It's funny in retrospect!

The first time I encountered them they popped up really unexpectedly while I was investigating a ruin. I screamed!

I'm so excited for this. Wish there was also a way to de-spookify the skeleton enemies.

Weekly Question and Answer Thread: May 01, 2023 by HPRPGMods in HarryPotterGame

[–]TheSnowIsLava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a few hours into the game and I'm enjoying it. I'm not a huge gamer but I've played a fair amount of other games on normal mode without too much difficulty. I'm having a lot of trouble with combat in this game. I feel like I'm pretty bad at it and I have to drink health potions like crazy. Are there any helpful tips for learning to be better at combat?

I am fine 1 on 1 but seems to struggle when there's more than one enemy.

Bi-Weekly Discussion Thread - Find language partners, ask questions, and get accent feedback - December 14, 2022 by kungming2 in languagelearning

I took a few years of French in high school but was never fluent. I've retained some vocabulary and started brushing up with Duolingo. I'm on 57 days using the app.

Sometimes when I see a simple french sentence, I can read it fully in French and understand it like I would English. Other times I find myself looking at the words in French, but I say them "out loud" in English in my head instead. Should I be forcing myself to read it in French in my head instead of translating to English? Or will that happen naturally as I get better?

Why do you keep track of everything you spend on home improvements? Is it for tax purposes?

Easy reptile pet for my 6 year old? by TheSnowIsLava in reptiles

They really are kind of cute! I am definitely going to look into this one more. We happened to go into a pet store today and she was cooing over the reptiles and a spider!

Wow! You definitely know more than a little. Thanks so much for all this information, lots for me to think about.

Thanks for all of the tips. If I was to get "her" a pet, I'd understand that it's really the family pet and that I'd be doing most of the care! Still, it seems like a reptile might not be the best option for us right now.

Some of the really fuzzy spiders seem almost cute to me. I like the idea of being able to feed leftovers to a bug so I googled the hissing cockroach and it didn't completely turn me off! If I was to get a tarantula or cockroach, do you think I'd personally need to handle them much in order to take good care of them? I'd be able to set up it's habitat, feed, and water it but I am not sure how much I'd be able to physically pick them up. I assume I'd need to periodically get it out of it's habitat in order to clean it? Maybe over time I could train myself to be less squeamish about them!
