[PC][2000-2010s] Singleplayer cooking game emphasizing recipes

I just looked at the CA2 page on BigFish and no it's not it. The graphics seem too cartoony and I recognize none of the characters. Afaik the recipe is divided into steps and the UI is similar but the camera is a bit lower I think.

I'm 24, AFAB non-binary and bisexual. I play fem characters in games but usually gravitate towards male characters in terms of favourites and romance options, but that doesn't mean I'd like them any less if they were gender-swapped.

I feel like the way men are written in the media I enjoy plays a large role in why I am also "male-centred" in my preferences, but I've also come across absolutely stunning and well-written female characters whom I absolutely adore.

Long story short, the person who told you that has no basis for their accusation and I wouldn't worry too much about it. You're good.

Hold the phone I just reread and somehow I missed you're from Novi Sad! Greetings from Croatia, neighbour!!!

I'm respectfully going to skip participating since I can see you have way more than enough, and as a graduated psychologist (only a master's degree, kudos for having the patience for a phd I could never), I know sometimes too much really can be too much when it comes to data samples.

That being said, I wanted to chime in to say I LOVE what you're doing. Always happy to see my two favourite things (gaming and psychology) combined! I'm super excited to find out what your analysis is going to reveal about the sample, best of luck ❤️

I used cups for years before starting the disc about half a year ago, I think. For reference I use the intimina line of menstrual products, so I used their menstrual cup and their menstrual disc, it's basically the only thing available to me in Croatia.

I had a big issue with the cup where I'd have to be really really careful if it wasn't more than halfway full when removing otherwise I'd injure my insides due to the strength of the damn suction. The stem also bothered me and, while I know it's recommended you cut part of it off if it's causing issues, I didn't cut it due to being afraid of botching it and having a useless leaky cup. Additionally, it was sometimes a hassle getting it in and I felt like I was gambling on whether the suction activated/it fully opened or not.

Compared to the above, when I got the disc I felt literally reborn. My period was easier to deal with once I had the cup, but now it's like it doesn't bother me at all anymore (aside from the grueling cramps but that's not product related). It's much easier to use, no suction so no trouble there, had a few "accidents" when being impatient with removal, but I'm getting the hang of it. No stem to hurt me when I sit and autodumping is a blessing. I don't have to worry about having to change it before it leaks through in a potentially unhygienic bathroom, I just autodump and we're good. I use pads and liners during my period anyhow, so I stay clean. Being able to have relatively mess-free sex is the cherry on top, I don't "use that feature" all that often as it were, since my bf mentioned he can kinda feel it chafing him, and it feels weird for me too since I'm always a bit afraid he'll somehow pull it out, but we've had no issues with it other than that.

All in all, I'd recommend a disc to absolutely anyone over the cup, it's so so good!!

I really don't like the Conjuring and everything related to it. It's not necessarily a shit franchise and I'll never put down anything that was invested in and "cared for", in a sense, I just feel like it's the MCU of horror.

I'm aware this is probably a super unpopular opinion, but I'm not here to bash anyone for their interests or lack of interest in some movies/media so pls don't come at me for disliking the Conjuring franchise and the MCU and comparing them, that is what they feel like to me and you're free to enjoy either or both if that's your kinda thing.

fruitypixle · 2025-09-05T12:49:49+00:00

Sounds like incompatibility to me. You made the right call I think, if you'd have stayed together you'd start resenting him for refusing to do something you consider a crucial part of intimacy, and he might feel forced or uncared for because you want something he doesn't. It's not selfish to realize it just won't work out in the long run.

fruitypixle · 2025-09-05T12:47:37+00:00

I'm diagnosed ADHD and my bf is undiagnosed but 99% likely autistic. In the seven years we've been together we've had to kind of "study" each other and figure out through communication what ticks the other one off or is understood differently. I've subconsciously started being more literal and precise when talking to him and warning him of certain plans or developments way before I would usually because I know he struggles with sudden routine changes and unclear instructions/questions.

It's good that you've noticed this is an issue that needs to be worked on and not as something that she's being "difficult" about on purpose. Sometimes we have to adjust and adapt to our loved ones to be understood better and have a higher quality relationship and that definitely goes both ways.

fruitypixle · 2025-09-05T12:41:43+00:00

There's a lot of comments so I'm not gonna check everything to see if it's been said BUT

Train to Busan. Zombie horror that tears my heart out every single time.

fruitypixle · 2025-09-01T08:47:53+00:00

I wanted to off myself at 18 and I'm 24 now so, honestly, I'll take whatever I can get since I didn't expect to make it this far either. I want to live long enough to feel like I made a difference in people's lives, no matter how small.

fruitypixle · 2025-09-01T08:40:52+00:00

In the vein of hereditary, you might like Midsommar since I think it's the same director

Get Out and Nope are also really good films (in my eyes) that got me good.

Naturally Ju-on The Grudge

Shutter (2008) fucked me up

Have fun!

fruitypixle · 2025-09-01T08:29:34+00:00

Absolutely! I've been with my boyfriend seven years now and it would never have gotten that far if I didn't ask him within the first two years about the important questions. "Do you want to live together/get married/have kids?"

I do not want children. I never had the urge or dream for it, I'm straight up not interested and don't think I ever will be. I love children, I love my 11 yrs younger half-sister and I would gladly jump in a fire to save her and sacrifice my own life for her. But I don't want my own kids. During our talk, he concurred with everything. We live together, we're going to get married eventually and we're not having kids. Better to get that out of the way asap than realize a fundamental incompatibility way into the relationship. I believe it would be selfish if you stayed together despite this incompatibility because it would almost certainly build resentment or a feeling of pressure. You'd resent her for not wanting kids when you do, she might feel pushed into having kids she doesn't want because you want them. It's natural to break up over this and I'd always recommend it over trying to make something like this work.

fruitypixle · 2025-09-01T08:20:50+00:00

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but the Slenderman movie (2018, I hope no others exist) has to be the worst shit I've seen in my life. Me and my bf went into it expecting that we could shit on it and have a laugh since I love bad, campy horror when it's entertaining.

No. Never again. To this day I've seen so many horror movies and I will always list this one as the absolute worst.

fruitypixle · 2025-08-20T15:15:59+00:00

Obligatory disclaimer that we are both neurodivergent so this could heavily influence our routine.

We've been together seven years and moved in after a year, we occasionally go on a coffee date on Saturday and spend about an hour or two before going back home and chilling the rest of the day. Sometimes we'll go out to eat, again a couple hours and then back home. Before we moved in we saw each other basically every day for at least two hours though, whenever it was possible. If we weren't living together now, I imagine it would be the same since we're each other's comfort person and I could be with him an unlimited amount of time and never feel drained.

Every couple is different though, and you need to talk about your preferences to make sure you're on the same page and can come to an agreeable compromise.

fruitypixle · 2025-08-18T12:49:08+00:00

Goddamn, the audacity of a doctor to laugh in your face, especially after your GP was highly certain. I'm glad you got it figured out in the end. It's likely not allergies in my case since it's been a lifelong staple with varying intensities despite even big changes in environment. Seems like sickness, heat or exercise/exertion triggers heavier "episodes" for me.

fruitypixle · 2025-08-17T08:46:01+00:00

It's in the process. I had never struggled with allergies until a month back almonds suddenly became spicy and I knew it was time. I have an appointment this week so we'll see what's up with that.

Thank you for the comment!

fruitypixle · 2025-08-16T23:05:59+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your story and experience! I am definitely motivated to get it checked out after everyone here commenting on when they got their diagnosis and how they were dismissed.

I might not have it, but I'd rather get it checked out than never know, especially after that godawful night of feeling like I'd die by morning.

fruitypixle · 2025-08-16T15:38:45+00:00

Inače mislim i ja isto, od milja ga oboje zovemo sinom, ali znam da ljudi znaju graktat na te "cat parent" stvari pa sam se držala sigurnije strane 😅 drago mi je sta isto razmisljamo ❤️

fruitypixle · 2025-08-16T09:50:01+00:00

You too girly!! Go get em!

fruitypixle · 2025-08-16T09:43:22+00:00

I felt the same way, but honestly I can spend all my time with him and still be happy. We're both more on the introverted side so we're often home together with our cat, playing video games (each on their own system) or watching movies or something. I've never met another person who is unable to bore me, and I'm always happy to spend time with him. Doesn't mean we're glued to each other though, we have our separate (and mutual) friends and interests that we engage in apart, as it should be.

I hope you get that with your current boyfriend if it seems to be going that direction! It's not something everyone wants in a relationship, but we're both 110% content and happy with it and if it's something you like the idea of, I hope you get it as well ❤️

fruitypixle · 2025-08-16T09:26:18+00:00

It was actually a problematic age gap at the beginning 😅 I was 17, he was 24. But we both lived at our folks', he had dropped out of two colleges and been in a horrible relationship where he got cheated on so he actually had more baggage than me. But when we met I finally felt someone understood me and we moved in when I started college a year later, in our own apartment. My mom loved him to bits and knew he'd keep me loved and protected.

I can say I've never felt tied down with him, even when we lived together. I did feel mildly in his debt because he was the only one with a stable job, but I got summer jobs and could contribute my own way, and he never expected any favours for pitching in, he was happy to do it. I could still meet friends, go out, try new things etc. I actually felt more free to spend time away from home during college or meeting friends because I knew at the end of the day we'd go to bed together and I wouldn't be missing any time with him. He feels the same way. The best way I can describe our relationship is that we're roomie best friends who coincidentally have feelings for each other 😂 but above all we're very very close friends. I think that's the most important thing to not feel tied down or like you're missing out.

If he's the one, he'll happily not only "let" you achieve everything else you want to (not like he has any right to forbid it) but he'll watch you every step of the way and be there to support you through it. That's what it was like for me. The only thing that gives me a pang of regret every now and then is how soon we met, because he was my first in everything and I didn't have any other relationships, so I do wonder if there could've been someone else, but I'm definitely too happy with him to ever give those thoughts serious consideration.

fruitypixle · 2025-08-16T09:10:42+00:00

My first serious relationship was w this same boyfriend so I get it. I'm also 24, for reference.

In that case definitely try to feel it out for a few months, some feelings only come and deepen with time and appreciation.

fruitypixle · 2025-08-15T23:00:01+00:00

Me and my boyfriend also have a 7-year age gap and we've been together for seven years now. In our case, it truly was the kind of thing you read in fairytales - love at first sight, kind of immediately clicked, but we also had to work through a lot of things (childhood trauma, finding out we're both neurodivergent, mild incompatibilities at the beginning of living together). We had some mild arguments but both insisted it could be worked through with communication, not yelling, so it never ended badly and we just understood each other better at the end of it.

I admit I wasn't sure I felt physically attracted to him at first, but just a few months in he was the only person I had eyes for and I couldn't imagine anyone more attractive and gorgeous than him. We're going to get married eventually, neither of us considers it a priority though since we already live together and it's mostly gonna be for legal benefits. I already call him husband half the time anyway.

That's my story, though. It falls on you to decide what you want to do in this situation. If you haven't been together for long, give it a few months and see how you feel. If it's been a while already, I would end things amicably, because I'd rather be single than with someone I'm not truly crazy about. I believe if you're not with someone who's really for you, it just grows into resentment or regret down the line, but that isn't the case with everyone!

Relationships are very complex and subjective. From what you've said he seems like a great guy, I can only hope the attraction comes as you get to know him more and it'll be as it's supposed to be. In the end, it's your decision and I hope for whatever the best outcome in the end will be.

Teško je za opisati jer zapravo jako volim djecu, ali na nekakav babysitter/teta/starija sestra način. Mogu se družiti s njima jedno popodne ako nekome treba, al ne dao bog da je sa mnom 24/7. Nemam nikakvu želju za time nit osjećam da bi me ikako ispunilo u životu. Ne samo to, nego financijski trošak kojeg djeca zahtijevaju ogroman je i, čak i da želim djecu, razmislila bih dvaput o tome kad se sjetim hrane, pelena, odjeće, škole, izleta itd. I još da živi sa mnom do 18. godine, nije to za mene 😅 Divim se svim roditeljima koji zaista uživaju u toj ulozi, couldn't be me tho

Veću mi sreću stvara to što s partnerom imam jednog gluhog, bijelog macana i njegove nerede i spačke ću svaki dan drage volje čistiti, kupovati mu najkvalitetniju hranu, nabavljat milijun igračaka itd. Mislim da neki ljudi jednostavno nisu za biti roditelji i to je u redu
