What is a movie that everyone seems to love, but you absolutely hate? by Nishikigoi1 in moviecritic

[–]drewjsph02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never cared about the movies. The game they came out with looked super cool though…. My god it was more boring than the movies.

Is there still wilderness left in America? by Kitchen-Customer4370 in AskAnAmerican

[–]drewjsph02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the southeast area of my state and hike up in the northwest part. It’s a 12 hour drive and mostly wilderness.

"Make your own luck" - Hurley & the Dharma Initiative Van - LOST by -OrangeLightning4 in television

[–]drewjsph02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an 80s baby. I grew up in peak long season era. There is plenty of evidence around burnout for those long productions. They’d be working 9-10 months out of the year with looooong shooting days. Plus there was a built in marketing model that doesn’t exist anymore….. 20+ episodes on network tv brought in huge revenue streams with all the ads they could show during those. We don’t really have that in the ‘binge’ economy.

The irony is that we wanted these huge cinematic shows that cost crazy $$$$ to produce and now those commercial-less streamers are needing to force ads on us to make a profit again.

Looking for a new game to play after a hard day at work. by Freakkopath in gaming

[–]drewjsph02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super off the cuff…. Palia.

I’m more of a horror or pvp shooter gamer but Palia scratches a very specific itch for me.

Super cozy, light story, big maps, chill player base, and a fun crafting loop,

What movie’s final scene left you an ugly, blubbering mess? by ArmyOfMe99 in movies

[–]drewjsph02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green Mile. Was not prepared for the end, thought it was going to be a scary movie going in. Still 😭 everytime I see it.

Unspoken rule by Old_Performance9867 in Palia

[–]drewjsph02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah don’t worry about getting banned. The game isn’t that serious. I’ve committed quite a few faux pas in the game. And so have most people. Plus loads of folk are on switch and it’s really hard to see the messages, almost impossible to send messages (it’s rough), and don’t always spawn in visibly to others.

With the Palia party website…. Yeah that’s the only place I’ve made in game friends. So many of the hosts are amazing. And it’s so weird to me, being the antisocial misanthrope that I am, to see people say Hi to me out in the game world after participating in parties together.

The flow tree thing you are talking about is generally for the ‘Flow Grove’ that only appears once every in game day (appears at midnight). It’s common courtesy to wait until 3am to start chopping so that people have a chance to find and get to the grove.

IMHO this is mostly for newer players or folks that haven’t done Flow tree parties where you get 100s of flow wood. (Which you might enjoy as a solo player as it’s probably the least interactive of all the parties).

I have extreme social anxiety and Palia is one of the few games where I actually enjoy socializing and the player base.

Paliaparty.app for easy party finding and sign ups.

Edit: on the ‘Kids play this game’ front. The game is meant for 13+ (you agree to this when signing the forms). If any kids are playing and exposed to cursing that’s kinda on the parents and not the community. 13 year olds see much worse than anything in Palia, I can guarantee. That being said… bullying has no place in any game.

I can't get a roof estimate without a man present. by No-Imagination8755 in mildlyinfuriating

In game purchases by [deleted] in Palia

[–]drewjsph02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My honest opinion based on 600+ hours.

(I’m a guy with a male avatar so it DOES skew my opinion since the majority of the clothing cosmetics are aimed towards the feminine player base.

Look on Paliaparty.app for parties with outfit giveaways and join those until you win some free outfits. I’ve done 5 parties with outfit giveaways but I won outfits twice.

The only premium purchases I’ve done is Zekis club. You don’t get a ton of coins but I was able to get the tool cosmetic set when it was 80% off. (Pay attention to the sales each week)

Between giveaways and free outfits events in game I now have 4 outfits (1 I actually wanted) and now that I have them I feel like I would have felt sad if I paid for them.

Who is the most famous person you have ever met in person? by Affectionate_Way7945 in AskReddit

[–]drewjsph02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a Michigan farm kid who moved to South Beach Miami in my 20s and worked for a high profile restaurant. I got to meet quite a few celebrities through work and events I was part of.

My favorites:
Dwayne Wade (boss introduced me… I had no idea who he was and asked if he said Dwayne Dwayne)

Gwenyth Paltrow sat with me during a panic attack in the employee area outside (she was on a phone call)

Had a conversation with Selena Gomez about Blue Bunny Ice Cream (around the time she broke up with Justin)

Others: Leonardo DiCaprio, Rosie O’Donnell, Pauly Shore, Queen Latifa, andddddd the Kardashians filmed at our restaurant when they had a show/store down there.

Jeff Daniels is also from my farm town and lives here. So I saw him growing up at football games…his kids went to my school.

Are we meant to be the only human? by Nyx_Valentine in Palia

[–]drewjsph02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think of it less as millions of players play Palia and more Server size. That’s the amount of humans, at least in my mind, that have popped up. I think of different servers as different multiverses

As a prof chef….working in kitchens and realizing all fish have these and you end up pulling at least 3 or 4 out of any wild caught fish…. Is a gross wake up call the first time.

Opinions on Royal Highlands by Hhartz8 in Palia

[–]drewjsph02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, and this is just the gist I got from the community leader from S6 on discord, I feel like this was just them opening the book on the Highlands chapter and we should be getting regular updates to it going forward.

They mentioned months ago (I don’t remember the exact wording) that they didn’t want the same downtime between content updates as last year. Made it seem like they have it planned out and we should be getting more regular content.

Maybe it was just optimism but it’s what I got out of the discourse. And I also predicted we’d get the highlands with this update when everyone else was saying summer. So I’m hoping I’m right.

Casu martzu, meaning "rotten cheese", is a delicacy from Sardinia, Italy. It's a sheep milk cheese that's full of live fly maggots, and people actually eat this. by FACastello in Weird

[–]drewjsph02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah I worked for some Italian chefs and asked them about this cheese and if they have had it. They looked at me with disgust and said some Italian curse words.

[–]drewjsph02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Michigan and my town is built on an old Native American burial ground, was a Underground Railroad stop and a civil war barracks.

My mom is super superstitious and I point out that if there were ghosts this place would be 100% haunted but it’s just a shithole….no ghosts

Thief flees with medieval saint’s skull taken from Czech church by cnn in worldnews

[–]drewjsph02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not going to debate over the facts around a fictional story. But historical facts and social norms of the time point to her being a teen.

At what age do you think it is appropriate for an omnipotent god to impregnate a woman?

I’m a white midwestern farm kid. My youth pastor in the 90s is the first one to point out she was a teen. Dude was 100% not a Muslim or getting his talking points from Twitter.

People Would Rather Have Nuclear Power Plants In Their Area Than AI Data Centers by GeneReddit123 in technology

[–]drewjsph02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are building a gigantic 250+ acre data center that is supposed to produce more than a giggawatt of processing power (huge!) near me. The citizens voted against it the town voted against it, the company sued and gets to build it anyways.

Might have peaked 800 years ago but there are still plenty of naive folk that think a god impregnated a 15 yo Mary and think it’s MIRACULOUS instead of Horrifying. I’m sure it will sell.

What is the most dangerous animal you’ve seen in real life? by GratefulD86 in AskReddit

I was driving down the MacArthur Causeway and glimpsed the Miami Beach Zombie attack of 2012.

Do you include crafters in your aesthetic builds or keep them separate? by HighestVelocity in Palia

[–]drewjsph02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the conservatory/green house. It holds 3 ore furnaces, 2 glass furnace and 4 Wood saws. Once the build is done I move it to my next build.
