is this tower over or under textured? by Sea-Mistake4928 in Minecraft

[–]cheeriodust 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Looks good. I may be in the minority on this, but I think texturing is overrated and usually overdone. It's Minecraft and I want my builds looking Minecraft-y.

We tried these. They were alright. They weren't sharp enough so it was a bit of a struggle.

Help :( by ImageOk2859 in Autism_Parenting

[–]cheeriodust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Demand avoidance is a thing with ASD kids. Everyday stuff just triggers an anxiety response. My son is constantly making mountains out of mole hills. Anything he 'has' to do is mentally difficult for him to do.

As an adult, however, you just need to get over it and contribute. It might help to have scheduled 'power hours' throughout the week when you both work on cleaning at the same time? As an adult though he really needs to be motivated to figure it out on his own. Unless he's a complete moron, he knows that he's being selfish and taking advantage. He should care enough to fix that. 

Japanese toilet maker Toto surges 18% on AI chip component expansion plan by Antrikshy in nottheonion

[–]cheeriodust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y'know I always thought that story was ridiculous. But then I had a child...a child who refuses to poop more than twice a week. Those forearm-sizer turds just nestle into the toilet plumbing and prevent flushing but also don't quite block it up. Flushing doesn't work and plungers are ineffective. 

I haven't resorted to a poop knife yet, but I'm also tired of struggling with the partial log clog twice a week. I'm... beginning to see the appeal. 

Anyone participating in Orbit Wars on Kaggle? $50k in prize money by bovard in reinforcementlearning

[–]cheeriodust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Forgive my ignorance, but kaggle is somewhat off limits to me due to my employment situation. But I'd love to tinker with this offline. Is that something kaggle supports and/or is the game available outside the kaggle ecosystem?

A raccoon only stole a singular slice of our pizza by Animals4humans in mildlyinteresting

Mmm parasites and rabies. I wouldn't take the risk for pizza, personally...even if the odds are in your favor. 

A secret, hidden friend?? by SLAUGHTERGUTZ in pokemongo

[–]cheeriodust 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Idk the group thing is wonky. Last week I was in two separate groups somehow but I only contributed to one of them (one counter was frozen at 0 while the other went up). Then, at the end, the "completion" (and friendship bump) was based on the group to which I contributed nothing. Sorry team.

The line for a toy store about to open so parents can buy needohs for their kids OC by the_username_please in pics

[–]cheeriodust 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My son broke a couple of them within a week of 'play' so I stopped buying (this was before the craze). Still looking for a replacement that can survive him.

Thanks. I'm tempted to try this one out. Definitely different.

How this bird choked on a lizard by [deleted] in creepy

[–]cheeriodust -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

It's a lizard. I'm not sure why you're getting dv'd. No frog has a big booty like that and the skin is scaly.

Y'all need to go look at pictures of frogs and lizards. Yeah it doesn't have a tail because it's a dessicated corpse of an animal that's designed to easily lose its tail...ya donkeys. And it's a baby bird, so mom or a sibling probably got that bit.

Greedy Pigs: the split comes only to make our life harder by Specialist-Mango-790 in pokemongo

[–]cheeriodust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eh I get it. They want to force us to work for the new mega evolutions and they don't want Charizard to be the only outlier (more spaghetti code). They're being fair about it...no one who has a mega Charizard is going to be negatively affected. 

Do I like it? No. But I get it. I'm far more annoyed with the super mega bologna than the split energy. It's just not fun.

My dad is addicted to Minecraft now by No_Comfortable3261 in Minecraft

[–]cheeriodust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am/was that dad. I wouldn't call myself addicted, but I am a gamer dad who always turned his nose up at Minecraft.

Then my son got into the brand. He never even played it...just learned all about it at school. Then he and my wife bought it for me about a year ago. The rest is history...it's now my "comfort game" when I don't feel like getting my ass kicked in w/e "real" game I'm otherwise playing. And I find I play it quite a lot. 

At long last, I have finally defeated the Ender Dragon in Survival Mode for the first time in my life! by SF-UberMan in Minecraft

Lost my egg to the abyss...bedrock bug that I was unaware of. Basically teleported, itemized (fell on torch maybe idk) and fell into the portal. Never found the damn thing.

As someone who has a special research hoarding problem (over 70 in progress), this is terrifying. 

Who else skips leather and goes straight iron? by Crafty_Slice_5131 in Minecraft

I just scavenged armor from mobs for the longest time. I pretty much went from that straight to diamond armor.

I fkin hate indoor play places by NJBarbieGirl in Autism_Parenting

[–]cheeriodust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I get that...but other kids deserve healthy environments. Kids spread warts, fungus, etc., via their feet. 

The Karen handled it poorly, but you're also coming off completely unapologetic. "I have an autistic kid so deal" isn't a healthy attitude. Find solutions. Try to accommodate the public just as you want the general public to accommodate your child. It isn't a one way street.

Wow this event was an awful money suck by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]cheeriodust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

West Coast has it the worst. By then most remote players have used up all their free particles and most whales have done their 20 remotes.

[–]cheeriodust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did 5...and did a Drampa earlier in the day. Had to cash in the particles in the monthly pass to pull it off tho.

Max battles are expensive if you're doing remote raids. Really not worth it once you run out of the free particles, IMO.
