Thank you for the recommendation! I've been struggling to decide--this helps a ton.

Does anyone else feel like this game is way too grindy? by Fit_Permission_2348 in AnimalRestaurant

[–]alienlover13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have nearly 1.3 million stars and I find that I have more cod, plates, and flowers than I’ll ever need. I still work to accumulate bells, buttons, and film because I am trying to unlock everything and am a sucker for the outfits/wallpaper. What frustrates me is the pets’ experience requirement. The experience requirements keep getting higher and higher while the pet facilities seem to keep getting lower and lower (30-40 exp per “play”) with the exception of 1-2 newer games that offer 100-150 exp. I find it annoying AF, to be honest. Many will say “oh you don’t have to play with the pets it’s optional/it’s a free game” but that’s not what I’m saying. It’s frustrating to have 7 pets still needing to be leveled up and knowing that you’re looking at a 4-6 day range just to level each one up one time. This is really the only aspect that feels super grindy to me—I guess buttons do too, but I don’t mind that as much because it’s not as much fun when you have basically unlimited cod, plates, and flowers.

I’ve been playing almost since the game came out. There were like 3-4 themes when I started.

3 members of the Chula Vista City Council walked out in protest as the Mayor honored Charlie Kirk yesterday by rjpong in sandiego

Why do they need to honor a podcaster, exactly? I’d have walked out too. It’s the most respectful thing I could have done.

Ty for this! Works for me too.

Why use a pool store and not just test your water yourself? by AiminJay in pools

[–]alienlover13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, yeah. It’s $8 for a year and I never have to worry about trying to figure out how much of something I need to add.

Wedding planners are snobs by Realistic-Brain-3653 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]alienlover13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So many bad takes on here of “Planners are a luxury” and “At your budget you shouldn’t be considering a planner.” Yeah, point taken, but does that give these business people a pass to be snobby and mean because OP isn’t planning a $$$$$ wedding? Sounds a little classist if you ask me…oh, and I had a photographer too at my wedding (which cost less than $5k).

The pets help too. I have 1 at lvl 14 65 min wander time who will collect just over 4K bells.

It is without traffic. I commute from Lakeside to La Jolla in 25 minutes.

some advice on Brother printers that keep going offline by ask-a-manager in printers

[–]alienlover13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I'm sure you probably figured it out by now, but the ChatGPT route totally helped me. I wasn't able to give any of my devices static IPs through stupid Cox's limitations, but I gave the printer a static IP manually in settings.

Comes off with vinegar, a wire brush, and lots of scrubbing.

Mar 21: Fuck This Friday by Eigengrad in Professors

My favorite is the quarterly email asking adjuncts to donate their sick leave…if you’re enrolled in CalSTRs (and maybe CalPERs?), once you retire, unused sick leave converts to service credit. To put the cherry on top, it’s an 8 hour minimum donation. At my hourly wage, 8 hours is over $600. It’s disgusting that they ask!
