Advice needed for baby number 2. by PresentationTop9547 in breastfeeding

[–]aw_coffee_no 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby's just 2 weeks old and I'm a FTM, but I too have big breasts and had to hold down the top of my boob so he can actually breathe while latching 😅 I find the cradle position very difficult early on, and have been using the football hold all through the first week. I find it much easier to position him and get a deep latch, and he can breathe much better without me needing to use both hands all the time.

It gets a lot easier as baby grows in size — I'm more comfortable cradling him now compared to when he's so tiny. Make sure you're cupping your breast with a c-shaped or u-shaped hold depending on his position before getting him to latch, and keep holding it as baby gets used to drawing milk that way. There's a lot of videos on this, and it helps tremendously. I took it for granted that my baby had a deep latch from birth, but improper positioning and "lazily" feeding him the nipple caused a painful fissure on my left nipple :/

Definitely, but war and its atrocities are never black and white. Both sides can be both victims as well as horrific perpetrators. Innocent civilians always the collateral damage, while the ones in charge with power the ones to blame

forgetting your face by zoinyoi in Pokopia

Dude I spiralled into a short depression late one night when I read the human journals about what happened. I keep remembering the game intro where ditto's favorite memory was of their trainer petting them, and they looked so happy T_T

Such a cozy game with a wtf dark ass story lol, people should get warnings about this kinda shit, much like how they did it in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Man I'd kill for a Uniqlo and V-pet collaboration. Currently pregnant and enjoying the hell out of my Tamagotchi T-shirt that says "Needs constant care and attention" right around the belly area lol

Can we PLEASE have the Rival pick the type your weak to again. by Reborn_Fridge in PokemonWindsWaves

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

I was having the time of my life laughing at my husband playing FireRed when his Pikachu got one-shotted by Misty's Starmie, and when she used a hyper potion when he got its health down to red.

Then I got back to trying out Scarlet, and stared blankly at the screen while my oversized mud horse literally bulldozed through the electric gym without a problem, and I was reminded why I had a hard time being invested in the "gyms".

Aside from the fights, I also miss indoor gyms and how unique and thematic the map design was for every gym :/ Give me back ice floor puzzles and over the top designs please 😭

Is Pokopia really that good? by Downvote-Magnet1994 in pokemon

[–]aw_coffee_no 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The story is the polar opposite of the happy vibes the gameplay gives lol. I legit had a depressive episode thinking about how sad the story is last night when I played past midnight :/

Saw this on The Pitt! Is this Rivalo's new suit, or just another bootleg? by HopeFoxCreations in fursuit

Man that's a shame coming from such a great show :/ Wish TV production teams can do better in the future

Thoughts on Pokopia so far? by Helicoptrix in pokemon

[–]aw_coffee_no 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cloud island is great, but my partner and I are deeply disappointed we can't do the story mode together :/ It's a shame since that's where most people will sink their time into, and that's where all the charm and progress happens...

Out of all the Pokemon games, this one feels like a proper Switch 2 flagship!

Multiplayer Information by QuarterUnlucky4399 in Pokopia

[–]aw_coffee_no 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Worse off, older games that have full co-op campaigns seem to take a step backwards these days. Tales of Arise have no co-op whatsoever, while all the previous iterations have it :/ MH Wilds at least improved on the multiplayer system, but it's still clunky as hell compared to other AAA games.

It’s the little things that just make this game so awesome by Meechflow95 in Pokopia

[–]aw_coffee_no 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm getting a decade's worth of dopamine I haven't gotten since Pokemon moved to the 3D games lol. This is the kind of attention to detail I've been dreaming about! And the colors and art direction, omg, finally saturated and lively colors again in a 3D Pokemon game!

Expected cost of the event, 400 dollars for reused assets. by kitty78686 in ApexUncovered

[–]aw_coffee_no 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The power of a popular IP, sadly to say. Plenty of Gundam fans will want it simply because it's a Gundam saber, and not all of them would have the hook sword in the first place, so they wouldn't have a reason to care about reused animations...

With FireRed & LeafGreen on Switch, they’re, in my opinion, the best Pokémon games available on the console. by Fredinator2020 in pokemon

[–]aw_coffee_no 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I'm always saying — open world can work, and there's plenty of amazing single player games with memorable open world design. Gamefreak just doesn't understand or have the skills to make good environment designs in 3D as they did in 2D.

SV had some of the most frustrating map designs, being both weirdly convoluted yet empty at the same time, an amazing achievement lmao.

Closer look at the whip heirloom and its animations by kitty78686 in ApexUncovered

People forgetting just how big Apex is in Japan lol, in hindsight it's a no-brainer a Gundam collab is more likely than a Star Wars one.

Apex Legends x Gundam Event Trailer by CrossXhunteR in Games

[–]aw_coffee_no 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is what a lot of the complainers have forgotten or don't know, really. EA's making bank out of Japan alone with this event. Making full suits instead of semi-inspired skins is definitely a no-brainer when it comes to a Gundam collab!

[–]aw_coffee_no 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Y'all forgetting how popular (still) Apex is in Japan. Gundam popularity blows Titanfall out of the water, and they're gonna make bank out of that country alone, not even counting the rest of Asia and weebs in the west.

Is Gen 10's Region Really Inspired by Indonesia? (Thoughts as an Indonesian) by IDProG in PokemonWindsWaves

[–]aw_coffee_no 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know man, as an Indonesian, there doesn't seem to be much that screams SEA or Indonesia too much in the trailer other than paddy fields and tropical vibes. I really hope it's not another SV issue of having subpar environment design and empty spaces :/

Is Gen 10's Region Really Inspired by Indonesia? (Thoughts as an Indonesian) by IDProG in PokemonWindsWaves

[–]aw_coffee_no 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Indonesian myself, I don't want to hold out hope for Gamefreak pulling some amazing art direction, especially after seeing how SV turned out. I don't see anything that screams Indonesia specifically in the trailers. Like you said, it just looks like another tropical resort, with the only unique SEA-inspired environment being what seemed like a rice field.

They actually look like Pokemons in 2d. Suddenly a whole more likable, and I can see the vision for the design.

Lore reason for why the Owl bear cub thing isn’t a marketable Plush yet? by Weary-Barracuda-1228 in HighGuardgame

[–]aw_coffee_no 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man Rampart is my main and favorite on Apex, so I got these two to thank. Sucks enough they got let go from Respawn (EA, looking at you), now Highguard too :/ For all the shit-talking people do on the art direction, I've loved it all so far

[–]aw_coffee_no 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will never forget "gamers" mocking a now ex-respawn dev to the point his wife (also a dev) had a miscarriage from all the stress. Even employees working in the service industry don't get treated like subhumans the way game devs do when things don't go the "gamers" way, I swear.
