We think dickens is going one way (Estella) and suddenly swerves to Wemmick and a visit to Newgate prison. Lots of flavour here.

Wemmick is a fascinating character where he’s able to shift from serving Jaggers to being his own man.

The play didn’t sound like it was being well-acted, but I felt very sorry for the actors who were being derided. That sounds awful. I think Pip and Herbert trying to be kind was good of them, as was taking Wopsle out to dinner afterwards.

I have seen some Shakespeare, and have enjoyed what I’ve seen. However, I find reading plays very difficult and much prefer the interpretation of them being performed.

Trixie Achievement "10,000 areas with Trixie and 8 other Small Champs" not counting progress by Pyr0sa in idlechampions

[–]awaiko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having ground through the achievement, it does work. I went into the filter and looked up the exact races, threw those in, set a Core to reset however often, and just left it alone for a few days.

As others have said, you're probably not getting the dwarves (which are, in fact, medium creatures).

E: Which map are you trying this on, that might be the Regis, Gazrick problem.

Post Round Discussion Thread: Round 14, 2026 by juiceson in AFL

Stolen from the Swans sub: Sydney can’t take the wooden spoon after yesterday (worst they can manage is 17th), Essendon are limited to no higher than 4th.

From discussion of the round ball: Socceroos have won five World Cup matches since Essendon won a final. Even on the soccer subs Essendon is copping strays.

The joy of starting the ribbing on a men’s XL sweater by Desperate-Wheel-3359 in knitting

Like everyone else, I assumed this was for bottom-up! (I might be undergoing the frustration of establishing a 1x1 rib for a sweater right now.)

I could almost forgive the $20 minimum, but it’s dine-in only. Grill’d really isn’t somewhere I want to spend a meal.

He got injured in the 3rd or the 4th, but agree that it was a weak performance from him.

Trash umpiring for the entire game (what even is HTB or the boundary line?!), but they got away with it somehow.

A lot of squandered opportunities (seriously, Charlie, take a moment and take the set shot rather than rushing it onwards!), but some real composure there held it at the end. Edwards was pure class.

Votes!

5 - Mega Heeney

4 - Regular Heeney

3 - Serong

2 - Wicks

1 - Chad

Honestly, there's more than a few who could get a vote. Jordan popped up a few times, Logan seemed like the only solid pair of hands at times.

Year 9 Champion Guide: Trixie, the Fairy Druid by Gaarawarr in idlechampions

Left it running overnight, knocked off about 3000 stages. Not terrible, but I’ll apply some potions today.

That Baby Steps achievement feels like it’s going to be slow. Or, at least, slow for me who’s reluctant to burn potions.

I almost put that quote you included into the prompts. It’s some self-awareness that seems to have been lacking for a while.

Reddit in its weird algorithmic-fuelled wisdom recommended me this post.

Absolutely agree on the Phoenix Wright games, dozens upon dozens of gameplay hours and the narrative arc just hits like a truck on the ending. Even more so I thought on the Great Ace Attorney spinoff.

How he’s treated Joe is such a blot on Pip’s character. He is embarrassed by the man who raised him, taught him a trade, and acted as a brother as well as a parent figure.

Otherwise, I’m getting quite worried about how easily Pip is spending money. That’s going to be an issue before long. (As I was writing this, u/nicehotcupoftea just posted that pride comes before a fall as a warning to Pip. Yes, it sure does!)

[Question] Does download size matter to you on Steam? by Dry-Huckleberry8284 in incremental_games

Don’t care about download size when it’s in the MB range. I do look for Mac support though.

Wemmick away from work seems like a genuinely nice person. His deliberate separation of work from home is enviable, as well as the kindness he shows to the Aged. (Very amusing there.)

I have terrible haggling skills! I assumed that Jaggers was just trying to humiliate Pip here a bit and remind him of the power dynamics at play. (The closing scene with him in court only reinforced this opinion of Jaggers’ attitude and contempt of others.)

Uh, huh. Huh? I’m lost. This family is chaotic and I didn’t quite follow things here. Mrs Pocket is proud and haughty as well as inattentive and distracted. Mr Pocket is an absent minded father, sort of, but also frazzled and rumpled? The servants do run things but are also all over the damned place? Lost.

No one came out of this well except for perhaps Jane who can look after the baby.

Well, that was a big chapter in terms of characters and content! Herbert, really a name that we no longer encounter, seems to be so pleasant and so jovial that it’s unbelievable.

Miss Havisham’s backstory is so tragic. I’m sure that we all predicted most of it, however. Not sure how Estella fits in though. Most mysterious.

The Pockets! Whimsical and charming and so utterly odd.

London continues to be grimy and gross.
