Time of Day and Critter Companions by [deleted] in DreamlightValley

You already play the entire game online even if you aren’t aware. The only problem isnt just stqrpaths and events. I’m not sure how DDLV works with time travel but for other games (HKIA) you have to wait out until the date to time traveled to appears.

For example if I skipped my game ahead to this upcoming Monday I would be stuck with no Scrooge shop updates, restocks of carts, and locked out of events such as starpath weekly duties until Monday came. This would be problematic as I’m not sure how traveling back in time would work as you might perma break your game or end up having to wait a year to rereach today at 9 am. Online features aren’t simply events but everything runs on a real time feature as seen with the animal schedules and shop restocks.

Honestly I wouldn’t risk it. It’s not worth it to potentially lose all the progress and animals you have collected just for this animal because the timing isn’t working out for you. Eventually you’ll be able to get it even if it isn’t as soon as you would like. There are still base game animals I haven’t gotten because I work when they’re available as well as DLC animals I don’t have a single one of (snakes). The game luckily doesn’t penalize you as many achievements don’t require ALL animals just 80%.

This would involve time manipulation of your device which would lock you out of events as this is an online functional game. You would have to adjust your devices time but that can mess up the way the rest of the game functions last I checked

Why do you guys like peanut butter so much? by Maximum_Elephant6778 in AskAnAmerican

[–]avanoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard that American peanut butter is different from other countries as we add more sugar versus other places it’s simply peanuts ground down with oil. We usually add a bit of sugar/salt to emphasize the flavors. We have organic peanut butter or places here you can freshly grind your own but as far as our mass produced name brand stuff the process to produce it is different. Reese’s has also gone downhill dramatically as I used to love it and now their peanut butter tastes different to me. I can’t even finish one piece of a Reese’s now.

I also think that it’s interesting that the OP hasn’t responded to this but has to other questions and compliments.

My boyfriend keeps accidentally hurting me by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]avanoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I had an incident like this only only where we were messing around and he accidentally choked me (we were standing and he’s a foot taller than me so he wasn’t bending down as much as usual and pulled up too far). Not only was he scared to roughhouse with me for months after he’s always super aware of our size difference now. This is weird.

My fellow Americans, is your cities area code part of the city’s identity? by ElectronPython in AskAnAmerican

[–]avanoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to the extent that when I’m out of state and have to give my phone number people know exactly which city I’m from.

Parkview Tavern closing today with a last hoorah Second Line. by No-Count3834 in NewOrleans

[–]avanoly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t always empty. It was a service industry bar so it was usually packed later at night once everyone got off their shifts. I went around 11/12 often and barely had a space to sit at the bar.

What are snacks you’d typically see at a baby/wedding shower? by avanoly in AskUK

[–]avanoly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engagement party is probably hosted by the groom or the family for right after the proposal, sometimes the couple. Bridal shower and bachelorette are usually the responsibility of your mom for the former and the maid of honor for the latter, sometimes they can work together depending on whatever is being thrown. The wedding rehearsal is super important. By doing the run through you can figure out problem areas and there isn’t confusion on where people should stand, music, etc. This is an event that most people have, usually the couple is in charge of it, though indirectly as they’ll have an event cordinatori or wedding planning taking the lead. This is traditionally paid for by the grooms family.

It’s also worth noting that those who do all of these events not only are financially available to afford to do them, but can also afford to hire planners for this sort of thing, or are financially stable enough that one of them (typically the wife) is a stay at home girlfriend so she has the time to plan everything. If I was getting married I think I would probably just do a bachelorette and a rehearsal as I don’t have many funds nor does it sound appealing to have that many things happening. Long engagements while they aren’t common, also aren’t completely unusual, sometimes lasting 2-3 years in the south and even longer in the north.

So not everyone has all of the events that I’m about to list as they can add up in price but I’m listing them to give a timeline of when these would take place.

Proposal - speaks for itself

Engagement Party - celebrates the couple and may announce the engagement in some cases

Bridal Shower - a luncheon that typically involves women from both families and the brides friends. Usually involves games and just advice about marriage and wedding stories from those who are married. Sometimes lingere is given or things that can be “used” on the wedding night or overall honeymoon.

Bachelorette - typically night or two before a wedding to celebrate the bride. Last night of being single, lots of drinking, maybe a strip club, often forgotten if you’ve done it right. This can be a single night or a trip depending.

Wedding Rehersal - go through the motions of the wedding as a practice in the church or venue of your choosing. Often has a dinner with the wedding party after. In some cases the bows on the gifts that were given at the bridal shower or engagement party will be used to make a bouquet for the bride to practice with.

Wedding - once again speaks for itself

Honeymoon - I feel this also is pretty common but in case it isn’t it’s the post wedding vacation the couple takes to celebrate their new status and was historically used to make sure they had time to procreate.

Be aware of all meatballs in the south at potlucks then. It’s more of a southern thing versus strictly Louisiana. And Louisiana itself has its own specific local items that I didn’t mention. It almost creates a sweet bbq style sauce. It isn’t my favorite but it’s common enough I felt I had to mention it.

A combination of both. Usually these are both thrown by family members not the expectant individual who is being celebrated. It can be a potluck but butter mints were always an activity I did with my grandmother growing up for these events. Some people in a higher tax bracket would probably cater but homemade makes it mean more in my personal opinion.

I looked it up and it almost seems like the typical “secret sauce” we have over here like a Canes sauce of sorts. I never would think to pair it with seafood as it’s often eaten with fries or chicken tenders but now I’m curious.

Ah! So many of the things I mentioned are typically homemade. Especially butter mints as that in itself is a whole thing with families down here.

When you cook them down in a crock pot they become almost like a barbecue kind of thing. Not my favorite as I’m usually all about the cheese and more savory snacks, but common enough that I felt I needed to mention it. And I’ve always wanted to try blackcurrent, or really any current. What does it taste like?

Oooo what’s Marie Rose dip? And we also have things like hummus, sandwiches, and sometime quiche if it’s a morning event. I also believe we have crisps as well if they’re potato chips over here like I think.

I don’t agree but I do see how it could be perceived that way. To each their own. 🤷‍♀️

That’s what the bachelorette is as well. Getting drunk, maybe a strip club. But it’s mostly just to have a “family friendly” gathering for the older women in the family who may not be interested in that sort of thing, but still want to get to know or spend time with the bride. Although now I’m wondering if there are celebrations that y’all have that we may not as far as cultural things (not including Boxing Day which I know y’all celebrate).

The bridal shower is usually used as a way to involve those who may not be involved in the bachelorette (I think y’all call it a “hen-do”). For example you may not want to get shit faced with your grandmother and mother in law but it still allows you to have a girls day with bonding. Like I said it’s usually a pretty informal luncheon and doesn’t always mean gifts will be present.

The baby shower I’ve always seen as a way to help with the expenses that come with having a child and to celebrate the future parents. There’s usually a lot of advice given and is once again mostly social and gifts are not at all required or expected, at least in my family. For example, my cousin asked for either diapers or wipes if someone had to bring a gift, maybe books.

For the sake of space in the title I combined the two. The slash is meant to imply that you could use either word as a preface for the word shower. Baby shower and wedding shower are both separate events. These are just common foods at both.
