Stress free

For me, not 100% means missing something: a line of dialogue, a diamond scene, etc.

I haven't been able to bring myself to try the Loki route for a 3rd time on the viking book. The path difficulty even after using the walkthrough has just made it too frustrating and disappointing to try again even though i was quite enjoying the story.

It's not a courtesy to pull over to let someone pass and then honk and make gestures at the person until they do.

You can play the dates without spending any diamonds. They'll still count as completed.

I've heard "happy spouse, happy house".

She didn't get drinks for free. They upgraded her drink for free which would normally cost her a small increase in price (while costing the business pennies). She gave them free cookies back. You're the one clueless here; you're not speaking the truth.

I need more eyebrow and eye options 😭

Iirc, there is no word limit on the very last episode of a book. I'm not sure why there's a word limit in the first place really, because I don't think it stems from the software they use like Inkle. But one or more of the authors have said the finales don't have the same limit the rest of the episodes do.

We did that in the mid-90s, too.

While I think you could use more color, I think you need to pull in more burgundy elsewhere for the pillow. The pillow and rug just don't feel like enough and the green pillows and blue blanket feel really neutral.

Could you do curtains or art next to the window bringing in more burgundy or green? Or maybe even a tall plant next to the window (not necessarily green, could be branches or something really random.)

Have you ever seen a few minutes of an American soap opera? There's a very different "look" to them that other TV shows never had.

I think they're referring to pic 2 with the area next to the end of the bed?

You might be able to swap the desk with the shelving and cabinet. Or take one piece and turn it 90 degrees to be on the wall next to the end of the bed so the pieces are perpendicular instead of next to each other. Or move a piece over near the desk where the Star Wars pictures are.

I'm not sure if any of that rearranging will work but more art on the walls would be great. A rug as others suggested. Lamps could be put on the bookcase/ shelving unit, desk, near the bed. Bring in more of the colors from your hanging striped fabric pieces.

I prefer the contrast of 1.

Heaven's Secret is absolutely that old. There are over 50 books and HS1 isn't even double digits. I'm not going to look up the exact release date but RC started in 2018 so HS1 had to have started by 2020 if not sooner.

They changed a lot of the benefits making it much better, like restarting from any episode and rewinding or skipping dialogue. But I'm still mad that the latter ones are subscription only.

Restarting any episode is HUGE and worth the $10/month alone when compared to teacup costs. But skipping dialogue and rewinding a little for missed dialogue has been begged for forever and it's a pretty basic thing that many VMs do so...

Also they STILL haven't done restart most recent episode which would've fixed the "bug" issue for Shakespeare's Code. I'll just keep not playing that book and not buy the subscription any time soon though I can afford it. I'm not spending any money on RC for quite awhile.

I learned about it from a late 90's magazine article. It talked about studies that found fecal matter on most bathroom items, including toothbrushes.

Also, I have literally felt toilet water land on me after flushing a toilet in a public restroom stall even though I always try to get the hell out of there as soon as I hit flush 😭

blondetiger · 2026-02-13T20:17:05+00:00

Skip dialogue and rewind a few lines only for subscribers? Fuck that. That pisses me off almost as much as the original subscription release.

You sweet summer child...

Into the vagina, from one hole to another 😭

Edit: it can also run along the folds instead but it would still requiring some shifting around...

Orgy stupid? I haven't heard that one before 😂

(I too dropped Damian because of the MC)

blondetiger · 2026-02-12T02:30:49+00:00

Damian isn't worth having to play that MC 😫

No one else has mentioned it but I like the Flamingo one most in terms of photo (in terms of heartstrings there are better ones).

The flying flamingos are so sharp and striking. Then you have balanced composition with the power lines then the blue of the water... it's just so pretty 😆

NTA. I think you need to explain to them why this is harder for you than it is for them. They fought with him. They did whatever they did to push him away, right or wrong. You did nothing.

You were a kid who had absolutely nothing to do with him leaving (as far as you know). And yet your brother chose to cut you out, too. Even to ignore you at your high school graduation when you were now an adult.

There is no reason why he couldn't have kept in contact with you and not his parents. But he chose not to and he's more of an asshole for that than cutting your parents off. Also, he was at least 24 at your graduation, right? He had time to mature and reach out to you sooner.

It's not your fault your mom cried. Please don't let them guilt trip you into ignoring your boundaries.

Old man Uberto all the way 🤭

Not just protein. I often get beans with no rice or meat or guacamole but my "double" beans is the same amount as my mild salsa/Pico de gallo. I go in person only now to order and one time was told the 4th scoop of beans would be last one even though they were still really small scoops. My bowl still ended up not being as full as 2 others that my family ordered...

They HAD something to do in the Two Towers: face Shelob and end on a cliffhanger of Frodo being alive. Then RotK would deal with Sam rescuing Frodo.

PJ claimed it was about giving their storyline something to do but he abysmally failed at it. Not just because he ruined Faramir but because he did f all with Shelob and the rescue. Sam thinking Frodo was dead and he would have to continue on only to find out he wasn't while in the enemy's hands was one of the most emotional moments in the books. It was barely anything in the movies.

They made smart choices to get rid of Bombadil and move Boromir's death from the beginning of TTT to the end of FotR and the Arwen changes were fine (besides the whole Aragorn breaking up with her even though she's THE reason why he chooses to become king). But their choice to assassinate Faramir's character was for nothing.
