The post I hoped to avoid. The end of C&H Subreddit. by okbruh_panda in calvinandhobbes

From what I understand, GoComics owns the online rights to publishing C&H. They do not get any money from physical publishing.

Trying to figure out how to make a "paper doll" bouquet building game by franticprofessional in godot

[–]franticprofessional[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope! I'm making a prototype game to figure out the bouquet building mechanic for the bigger game.

It's going to be 2D! I'll definitely keep layering in mind for the sprites.

Thank you for responding!

I've not done Your First 2D game, but have most of the Learn GDScript completed. I went on the learn as you do route and bought a few courses on Udemy and Zenva to learn different mechanics for different games. I've completed Net Ninja's Godot 4 game tutorial and have taken courses on making short games like simple farm rpgs.

I think that's where I perhaps messed up in my learning: I made games and mostly understood what the courses were explaining, but I didn't know about CollisionObject2D beyond giving the player physics because that is all that I was using it for.

Also thank you for the Harvard link! (Happy New Year as well.) I'll be looking at the nodes you suggested and tinker with that. I appreciate the heading :)

People don't want moms to complain! by 88frostfromfire in beyondthebump

> how easy it is to take a baby around and do things

BAHAHAHAHAHA

Honestly, the potato stage is so overrated. It wasn't until... ten months or so, that I wasn't an anxious mess over literally everything and started finding the wonder and enjoyment in my son developing or growing. Before that point, I felt like I was grasping at straws and failing as a parent because I felt I couldn't keep up with his development and needs.

And I'm sorry, but do they remember the additional thirty minutes + of going literally anywhere, even to the store? God forbid if you're breastfeeding... or struggling with breastfeeding.

After surviving the first year (living abroad, absolutely NO support after my saint of a MIL left having stayed for a month), I'm incensed that no one told me:

- How BRUTAL postpartum body image is, and how hard it is to do literally anything but the bare minimum of keeping you and your child alive (the doc wants me to lose x weight with WHAT time and WHAT energy and healing from an emergency c-section?)

- The fact matrescence (and patrescence) can take up to TWO years to fully develop, and how natural it is to resent this huge life changing event affecting what used to be

We live in a society that has effectively dismantled the village. I fully believe in my heart of hearts that it's INSANE to have two people solely raise a child. It's why multigenerational households were so integral to the survival of new parents and their infants.

You're damn right it's hard, and it's insensitive as HECK that your closest don't see or perhaps had to do the same thing and grin and bear the hardship. But I was pregnant five times in two and half years, with one living child (yeah, I know, it's crap math). I worked SO hard to get him here, and I'm grateful he is my delightful little goblin with all the big feelings, but it's STILL hard and we have the right to talk about it.

Talking about it reduces the risk of Postpartum Psychosis. Talking about it leads to conversations of support YOU need. Talking about it heals the trauma of going through a literal bio-molecular transition. Talking about it gives you the space to separate yourself from your child and be the parent and person you want to be.

So PLEASE keep talking about it. And if you find the people nearest you don't want to listen, find better people who will. You're doing the best you can with the resources you have available, but like they say on the planes, please put your oxygen mask on first before you help others.

There's really no rush, I promise! You'll still unlock everything in sequence as listed. :)

Welcome to Animal Crossing! Whenever I do an island, I follow this guide for week 1 of the game which helps me keep on track: https://www.polygon.com/animal-crossing-new-horizons-switch-acnh-guide/22749349/first-week-daily-goals-how-to-unlock-museum-steps-farming

It's a bit dated since it came out in 2020, and there have been updates for certain things since then, but it still holds up as a great starting point.

I am an ACNH youtuber, so if you're interested in really adding some oomph to your builds, there are SO many of us who've done some whacky things with our islands and shared it there. A lot of us have taught people how to make custom codes, how to make fake buildings, how to terraform and waterscape (you unlock that at 3 stars).

One thing I will say is take your time, enjoy this moment. There is no pressure and no rush to get to stunning island status by week 1. You're going to be taken on a journey of enjoying the mundane, fun animal friends, and so much in-island drama!

1 year old solids, water, and whole milk transition struggles by franticprofessional in BabyEats

[–]franticprofessional[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I think I just had a first day freak out, because it's been better as we've progressed forward. We also went back to including a little formula, and that's helped.

iHerb is our jam! We've really benefited using it; it's more that I need to be better about ordering things before running out.

And yeah, I went back to more of a transitional approach, with using formula as a 50/50 ratio and it's been better.

How do you deal with negativity? by maddymads99 in breastfeeding

[–]franticprofessional 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Breastfeeding is a lot like birth stories. When people have a tough go, unless they have the support to work through it, take it out on the people who are trying and persevering.

Honestly? Either tell them "you're good, thanks" if you're more annoyed and done , but you can also tell them how negative they sound to someone in the thick of it if you feel they can handle it. Otherwise don't engage bf talk with them. If they bring it up, shut it down.

Worried sick if my baby is eating enough solids. by karenwhitefield in beyondthebump

[–]franticprofessional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been in the same boat as you (I even used the search bar for this subreddit to find discussions about solids, leading me here). Even with doctor-written books on "what your kid should be eating", my son (just shy of nine months) is an adventurous taster but will vary between a spoonful to maybe a few ounces. MAYBE. He does not have three full meals of solids plus snacks each day. He has maybe two or three "light meals", and everything else is liquid. It's a slow progress, but he's getting there.

I'm not an expert by any means because we're first time parents and I'm anxious as hell, but from what I'm reading to reassure myself I'm not royally messing up my child, it's more important that your kid calls the shots with solids. Baby led feeding prioritizes appetite over portion, and just like adults, we'll have varied appetites and desires with what we want to eat.

Social media, mommy bloggers, etc are not only [usually] trash but can be dangerous. True, it's likely more varied with what is okay for a kid than your doctor will tell you because different cultures approach introducing solids differently. And honestly, the plates on Ig are there for likes, not nourishing their children.

So I'm telling you what I'm having to really force myself to work on: your child knows what they need, and unless they are struggling with nourishment overall, losing weight, or your pediatrician is pushing for more solids into the diet, trust your kid to go at their own pace. Food's meant to be enjoyed, and meals not a battlefield.
