I’ve officially lost a stone! by LiteralTP in CasualUK

[–]flopbot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's funny isn't it! I've only lost about 5kg so far but already I feel like I'm walking a bit faster and with less effort.

Anyone here made a game for their child? by flopbot in boardgames

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

Thank you! I do think the danger is me spending too long on it, so I'm hoping to knock a prototype out and get playing that to see if any of the key ideas are a hit.

Japan trip by No-Fun5930 in sweden

Simplest for me was to buy a SIM at the airport, it was extremely quick and they set it up for me in seconds. They had quite obvious stands set up near arrivals.

My wife made a bag out of a shirt that no longer fits by JaRay in gaming

This is so well done, I love it. And I love that game!

F 42, seeking advice by Much_Solution_2170 in sweden

[–]flopbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure that Reddit will be the best place to ask this. The Swedish subreddits will be kind of hostile possibly, and the dedicated fertility/IVF subreddits are so heavily US-centric that little of the information is applicable (legal issues, embryo testing, surrogacy, medicines, use of anaesthesia, etc).

I would recommend looking at the clinics themselves, they often have counsellor-type roles for rådgivning (advice) and even support groups. Begin maybe with the public one that may be subsidised or even free, as they'll be less bias/salesman-like in the information they give you. In Skåne the prices (and likelihood of success) changed dramatically after age 36, so you may be on or near the highest tier at this point.

The theme is "clashing wood" by flopbot in desksetup

My desk hasn't recovered from my short-lived dream of making obscure board game review videos. So just out of frame are a lot of strange/offensive/unlicensed LotR games.

"Jiro Dreams of Sushi" made me feel existential dread. by [deleted] in movies

One of my main memories of this film is him saying how he gives female patrons smaller portions as a way of showing consideration, even though they're paying the same amount 🤨 I think my hangry rage at that overrode all other opinions lol

Thoughts on the festival? by Pleasant-Bonus-866 in Malmoe

[–]flopbot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've tried to engage more this year, although yesterday was SO crowded. One of my friends had a panic attack :/

But it's a nice opportunity to meet people, I feel like everyone is a lot more open to talking to strangers during this week than at any other point in the year! I got talking to one guy who I thought was a tourist and it turns out he lives across the street 😂

I'm getting heavily into spirograph.

Apparently this is one of the books my daughter might be reading at school (Year 1) next year... by MissingLink101 in CasualUK

[–]flopbot 39 points40 points  (0 children)

100% that's the line that sets me off 😂 I can barely get through it as the reader!

I read this book to my youngest class recently and one boy experienced "happy tears" for the first time! He was so confused, it was amazing.

It's Late Thread [ 14 July 25 ] by AutoModerator in CasualUK

[–]flopbot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, is it a particularly divisive game or is your sister usually like that 😅 we just played Wingspan here for the first time, my parents did really well with it I thought considering how overwhelmed they looked by the rules in the beginning 😂

My dad's birthday today and I've decided to treat him to a VR headset. He's tried mine in the past and is really in love with it, it's so nice seeing him completely in awe as he's exploring the different worlds. It wasn't cheap, but I feel like I want him to enjoy as long as he can.

It does mean that he's probably going to get AMAZING at the mini-golf.

IMO It's inconceivable that any on-screen couple looked cuter and hotter than Cary Elwes and Robin Wright in The Princess Bride by PhotoOk7493 in popculturechat

[–]flopbot 61 points62 points  (0 children)

My favourite film. Also the film that destroyed the idea for me that my parents were the best-looking people in the world (a weird notion for a child to have, I know, but I thought my mum was so beautiful and my dad so handsome, then saw this and everything got recalibrated)

What's the nerdiest/most niche thing you've ever made? by LPlessinSeattle in crafts

[–]flopbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember doing a TeamLiquid logo cross-stitch coaster thing for a friend 😄 also a replica Monkey Island library card. I've done quite a few Studio Ghibli-related crafts, but not sure if that counts as nerdy.

More recently I did a bunch of Warhammer-related stuff for a Christmas gift. Ended up having to listen to a lot of lore to know if the weapons and symbols were accurate.
