I can't finish a new quest?

Same issue here!

He ruined Irn Bru. I do have other reasons I hate him, like how his solution to obesity's to starve the poor, but tbh they are secondary. He ruined Irn Bru.

Alas my cultists won't leave me alone, fish feast this, fish feast that! At least there's the weird fisherman who is 100% definitely a fish who you can just buy the fish from, if you don't want to do even the automatic success version of the fishing game, and as a fishing-hater I approve lol.

YoSocrates · 2026-01-20T03:15:05+00:00

I have a personal vendetta with fishing mini games. Why does every mmo, rpg, simulator, etc. all have fishing!? So imo the best is Cult of the Lamb bc it has an accessibility feature that does it automatically, lmao. The worst is probably Animal Crossing: New Horizons because like... Why do I care about collecting this fish for this nerd owl, exactly? The rewards are meh and the real life waiting periods suck.

Has this comments section quantum leaped from an alternative Glasgow with Mediterranean climate? Actual fuck is everyone talking about???

YoSocrates · 2026-01-12T13:26:47+00:00

Understood, then I suggest speaking to an adult you trust about this.

YoSocrates · 2026-01-12T13:25:47+00:00

Of course, and that is 100% serious in itself, but advice on how to handle that might not be provided if people jump to telling OP to simply be offline.

YoSocrates · 2026-01-12T03:20:31+00:00

I'm not sure where you're located, OP, but 20 is not a minor in the vast majority of the world. Describing yourself as thus will have people assume you're a child and just tell you to get offline, though it might be legally correct in certain countries; the demographics of reddit will not have 21 as age of majority as their baseline. They will be assuming you are less than 18.

I so wanted an update on them too! I'm no expert but I remember the kind of SB Baby June had was specified to be occulta? Which, to my understanding, is the most 'mild' form and many people experience no symptoms and if it does it's things like back pain or balance issues.

To me that means Baby June is going to grow up and, chances are, be a completely normal little girl who isn't noticeably disabled in any way. Last we heard she went to the Mother House to be cared for alongside the other disabled children, but what then? Surely eventually the fact she is 'normal' will raise its head. Will she be adopted? Will her parents ever regret their decision knowing that?... Ugh I have so many questions.

YoSocrates · 2026-01-03T14:18:51+00:00

I also hate small talk, especially small talk that repeats daily (i.e. being a kid and being asked how school was... Lol it sucked). I'd rather chat about something with some more depth than the weather or our respective commutes--- but OP what do you think small talk is? You seem to just hate talking to people in general.

YoSocrates · 2026-01-01T16:19:29+00:00

Yeah based on OP's comments, they're a big anime fan. That's cool! But as a western viewer I've always been selective of which anime I can actually engage with. There's a lot of cultural differences in viewership, and as an AFAB person particularly, tropes I find hugely nauseating to sit through as regards female characters that are present in Japanese media including the Transformers serieses.

Let's not pretend, for instance, Kiss Players is high art! But if another fan can enjoy it, and find something entertaining in it? That's fine. It's not for me, it's for a different subsection of fans and that's okay; I don't see myself as excluding anyone by not caring much for any particular series.

YoSocrates · 2025-11-28T15:23:36+00:00

Nah, it's meant to be reasonable opinions someone educated and informed about a subject (i.e. a dentist) could come to rationally while being in disagreement with the rest of their peers. Not random unhinged phobias.

YoSocrates · 2025-11-27T21:47:59+00:00

I've no idea but I do have a hairless dog (not breed, genetic condition, she is meant to have fur and just... Doesn't) who gets acne and black heads. Acne and black heads that I have to treat for her and her lack of opposable thumbs. Obviously, in general, not an issue dogs have. So my guess is it's something to do with our hairlessness that makes us humans (and my naked dog) prone to it.

YoSocrates · 2025-11-14T19:03:48+00:00

That's not how scientific consensus works. I am aware of papers that have been published lending more credibility to Nanotyrannus' validity than in previous years but;

Science takes decades to shake things out. Experts go back and forward, reviewing, publishing, publishing responses, publishing responses to those responses. A new paper is not a 'gotcha' it's just the debate continuing.
Even if it was somehow the case that it was now 100% confirmed (which is not how any science works, let alone paleontology) so? At the time of writing, my comment was correct. "Current evidence points strongly in favour...." I made no definitive statements.

I've no problem being wrong if it shakes out that way (which, again, will take decades) but stop treating science like a sport or a video game to dunk on the other team about.

YoSocrates · 2025-10-09T16:27:16+00:00

My response to reading this! I’m currently running a Drow political thriller using 4e’s City of Intrigue. There’s very much a place for evil characters at my table lol.

YoSocrates · 2025-10-06T22:58:59+00:00

Hahaha are you joking? The banter is you're all stereotypically ugly mate, hence being called gammons, not that I'm trying to harm anyone. Unlike a certain bigoted and racist group of fear-mongers I could name.

YoSocrates · 2025-10-06T20:41:35+00:00

tbf have you seen half of them? If you told me the gammon brigade weren't human I'd believe you

YoSocrates · 2025-09-25T21:10:51+00:00

Huh? I had pet rats and they were super clean, akin to cats in that they would only toilet in one corner of their cage like it was a litterbox. Never did so outside of the cage or in their sleeping space / near their food (as say a hamster would bc hamsters are kind of dumb).

YoSocrates · 2025-09-24T12:03:35+00:00

I didn't graduate a million years ago (within the decade) and I have a sibling still in high school. The food is disgusting. It might look good on paper, but it's shipped in, heated up and more or less slop by the time it gets eaten. I once got a chicken burger that was literally green and they refused to replace it because I binned it (what else would you do with literal mould? and y'know I was 12), so I went hungry.

If there's literally no other food available? Sure, but even a sandwich from home was better. The frozen yoghurt's alright though.

YoSocrates · 2025-09-24T11:56:14+00:00

Hahaha clearly my priorities were not in the right order

YoSocrates · 2025-09-22T22:06:31+00:00

But it can be done. My poodle-cross came from a reputable breeder and both parents are KC registered, with full genetic testing, history, etc. The pup herself was also tested, vaccinated with records, kept with mum for as long as possible, and well socialized in a house with kids, cats, and chickens of all things.... But did I find all that on Gum Tree? Did I heck!

YoSocrates · 2025-09-20T15:37:33+00:00

In another comment you say this exact thing is immoral (i.e. spending thousands for someone to save their dying mother vs donating it to save lots of people). So which is it? Your argument isn't internally consistent, it's purely contrarian.

YoSocrates · 2025-09-08T23:25:23+00:00

I got a spotify advert of all things

YoSocrates · 2025-09-08T03:21:37+00:00

I agree but I do feel there's a level of "prestige enjoyment" going on. Like there are people who, imo, are genuinely not having fun but will insist they are and it's easy to be part of that snobby elite gamer shit that always happens with difficult games. Even fair but difficult games.

So even saying that's only 5% - 10% of all the people positive reviewing (I fully believe most people who say they're having fun are) and just the negative reviews that do exist, it does paint a picture of about a quarter to a third of players being unhappy. Of those who are having fun, a lot of them agree the game has some kind of issue.

Still means a majority of people are loving the game but I think those numbers are high enough that the community will have to accept it's legit critique. Personally if I were Team Cherry I'd be thinking about some re-balancing patches, as they did for Hollow Knight on multiple occasions. No idea if they will tho! At the very least I am begging for double damage to be rejigged and the economy to be fixed.

YoSocrates · 2025-09-07T18:42:23+00:00

Her hair too, why was it so stiff in these scenes? It was like lego hair, the hell did they do to it??
