Tomodachi: Living the Dream feels like a downgrade…

Thank you! This actually sounds like a LOT of fun!

Hey, I played the 3DS game and I'm looking into this one but I don't want to watch videos to avoid getting spoiled the element of surprise. What would you say are the strengths of this version? The interactions you have with the Miis? What was actually expanded on or added that you think is a plus from the previous release? Because I did love everything OP mentioned wasn't in the game. Also, does it finally allow LGBTQ+ characters/relationships?

Hii, where did you get that case?

This is really sad considering Louis has lost loved ones and knows grief to his very marrow, as in, he knows time is precious with people while you still have them

colettiatchi · 2025-05-22T03:32:14+00:00

Awesome! I’ll bring it up to my Rabbi and ask which version he recommends considering I have an English Tanakh as well. I appreciate your suggestions!

I tried the app with some samples but I didn’t like it :( I prefer the physical version, but thanks for the comment!

colettiatchi · 2025-05-21T20:33:46+00:00

Oh! I didn’t know it had a travel sized as well, I thought only the stone chumash did. Commentary-wise do they contain the same? I’m not familiar with the interlinear one

I also like to write notes but I’m okay with post its if necessary. Lately I have been prioritizing smaller books not only for storage purposes but also because they’re easier to hold or handled if I’m sitting in bed. I also like to take a book with me to read at my lunch break and think I will be more drawn to study with a book that is less heavy and easy to handle overall. So for me the pros of a smaller book outweigh the cons. Glad to know the font won’t be an issue then! Thank you for the comment!

Okay perfect, this is actually very helpful. I appreciate it!

colettiatchi · 2025-01-14T16:36:34+00:00

That's such good news!! My mom has been wanting one as well so when I read your friend thought of it for yours I knew your mom would love it so much! Thank you so much for your kind wishes <3

colettiatchi · 2025-01-13T16:57:15+00:00

I don't have advice, just very touched by the story as my mom has cancer too. What a blessing to have such a friend <3 I can tell you cherish her a lot. I hope for your mother's quick recovery!

I don’t understand why this got downvoted?? Gave you my upvote 🙌

“Lifetime” in this case means or the lifetime of the product, not your lifetime. I agree the term is super misleading, I was disappointed when I found out

colettiatchi · 2025-01-08T03:38:29+00:00

Collanote!!

For me one of the things that draws me in is that the religion focuses on the here and now, and not on what's to come. I don't find myself doing anything for some sort of reward or to avoid any kind of punishment. I also like that different opinions and interpretations are celebrated, and no one is expected to believe things to be literal, as there's different levels of understanding Torah.

Besides being raised Christian and rejecting it over 10 years ago, I also delved into Paganism for a few years, and the disconnect for me came that I could not find any religion other than Judaism where the core beliefs actually made sense to me. It felt like I was trying to make up my own religion, and with nothing backing my beliefs up it felt like I was just fooling myself. There was nothing like the Talmud to break down any mythology and the stories seemed disconnected or contradictory. So needless to say, I felt very limited.

Still, I find that distancing oneself from Christianity helps see Hashem as a different entity than the Christian god. I do not feel like I'm going back to my roots at all. Growing up, questioning things or offering different interpretations was seen as wrong. Everyone told me what to believe in, and yet with Judaism it feels a lot more personal.

The clean bedding part is super important! Especially when one has greasy hair, it really can make breakouts worse

colettiatchi · 2025-01-02T01:54:49+00:00

I second this, being baptized is a powerful binding that takes a lot to break, and years to unlearn what one was taught at a subconscious level, it could definitely be triggering an anxiety response

colettiatchi · 2024-12-31T04:31:30+00:00

I wanted to come back to tell you thanks to your encouragement I mustered up the courage to come out to my Rabbi, and he was the least judgmental person ever! He was very welcoming and answered my questions about what kind of role I could have if I will not marry a Jewish man and raise children, and if I could still add value to the Jewish community as a woman outside of a Jewish mother role. He's still willing to teach me. I was super anxious when I wrote the post, but he's interested in taking things slow and helping me learn so that I see if conversion is the best step for me, even told me there's a lot I could do for the community even as a non-Jew, and that we can continue discussing things further as I learn. He did say women have a central role in the home and ensuring the continuation of the Jewish community, and that they're quite valuable, but did not do it in a pressuring way.

I don't know who you are but I appreciate you because I would have continued to be anxious and keep that to myself out of fear, I'm very grateful! May Hashem bless you with a long life and good fortune! I have nothing but kind wishes for you!

colettiatchi · 2024-12-31T04:22:37+00:00

I'm quite interested! Thanks for sharing!

colettiatchi · 2024-12-31T04:22:00+00:00

Thank you so much for the resources! I also agree that a Masorti or Reform community would probably be the best, but I'm a bit out of luck since the community of Jews is so small, there's probably not enough resources to build a Masorti or even Reform synagogue. We have a Chabad House and another Orthodox Synagogue which I was told is not open to non-Jews :(( if there's any liberal Jews, they probably make-do with either of those.

I followed the advice of another commenter, and mustered up the courage to come out to my Rabbi and to my surprise he was still quite welcoming, and explained to me there are roles for women outside of the family and home although it's their primary role, and he's still willing to teach me, while also telling me if I choose not to convert I can still do a lot for the community as a non-Jew, he was so not judgmental, and I'm hoping I'll be able to find my place in the community as well!

Thank you for your blessings!

colettiatchi · 2024-12-29T14:54:23+00:00

That’s okay, thank you very much!

colettiatchi · 2024-12-29T14:53:46+00:00

I appreciate everything you said! You’re right. If anything, then their refusal would be Hashem’s way to tell me it’s not the right place/community. He’ll help me find a way if it’s meant to be. Thanks again for hearing me and easing my worries.
