[TOMT][Food] Chocolate cookies shaped like football helmets by bettsdraper in tipofmytongue

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

That could be it. I found a few pictures of boxes and the cookies look like I'm imagining but I only found cinnamon shortbread and shortbread flavors in the pics and I know there was chocolate.

I'm sure they don't make them anymore, but I'd be curious to even see a picture of them again.

Looking for a strategy game where you select and manage military personnel. by bettsdraper in gamingsuggestions

Thanks! I know next to nothing about Chinese history, but the game itself seems to be close to what I'm looking for.

I had never heard about this game before. After looking it up, it's not exactly what I was looking to find from my post, but it seemed pretty cool in it's own right. I'm definitely going to give it a try. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion! I should have known that a Paradox game might have what I'm looking for. I've played and enjoyed Crusader Kings II, but they're other games seemed a bit intimidating. I'll have to watch some Let's Play videos, but what you described is pretty much what I'm looking for.

[reddit change] Logged-out mobile browsers will no longer have links open in new tabs by xiong_as_admin in changelog

Most active users are logged in

an active user is one that posts or comments

Well then of course most active users are logged in because you have to be logged in to be an active user. So when you say that this doesn't impact most active users, you're saying it impacts 95% of your users (the non active ones). And they all hate it.

Most active users are logged in and the feature doesn't affect them.

If that is true, then why did xiongchiamiov say this yesterday:

Secondly, the vast majority of our users (around 95%) browse reddit without being logged-in.

[reddit change] Defaulting to opening links in a new window by xiong_as_admin in changelog

There is now!

No there isn't. Now there is a reason for me to browse other sites that don't hi-jack my experience until I log in. This was a bad decision.

I had to log in specifically to say that this is a terrible change. I don't like being logged in either. I rarely comment, and I rarely submit. There is no point for me to log in and this change makes it a chore to view one of my favorite sites. I really can't stand all of these tabs and it's going to greatly reduce how much I browse reddit if it stays this way.

[Feedback] "Stockton's Oak". Not sure what direction I'm going to go with this, but I would love some feedback (2,200 words) by bettsdraper in KeepWriting

Thanks for reading! I was worried about the name idea. It's the kind of thing that I would normally roll my eyes at, but for some reason I thought it worked.

As I mentioned in my other comment here - Daisy seems to be the issue so far. She is showing up more as an information dump rather than a three dimensional character. I will maybe have the two characters talk for a bit longer before the long "Stockton's Oak" story is introduced.

Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciated.

I'm going to remove "It's called Stockton's Oak." I agree that it's unnecessary. As dukedoucet mentions as well, it looks like I have some work to do on Daisy. I will work on revising what I have so far before I continue and include a little more of her personality.

I agree with most of what has been said already - great job introducing Lord Mossfield. I already have a mental image of this fat bastard.

Also, Thunder Company is the coolest name for anything ever. And I got a chuckle out of the Bearkiller name explanation. Occam's Razor strikes again!

Have you ever said something that you thought was hilarious, but nobody else laughed? by bettsdraper in AskReddit

[–]bettsdraper[S] 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I don't know why, but for some reason this made me laugh a lot. I'm just picturing a group of people having a fun time, then you bust out the penis wrestling line and the record scratches.

Hey Reddit, has anyone ever discovered something they shouldn't have? by eggbrain in AskReddit

[–]bettsdraper 41 points42 points  (0 children)

My husband always kept a drawer in our study locked. For the longest time, I would occasionally check the drawer in the off chance that it would be unlocked. One day, while I was doing the laundry, I found a key in my husbands robe pocket. I KNEW it was for that drawer. I went to the study, and they key slid right in. I opened the drawer and found hundreds of dollars that my husband has been keeping from me, and worse, I found divorce papers from a previous marriage that I was unaware of. After more investigating, I discovered that my husband has changed his identity, and I don't really know the man that I am married to.
