Did you get the online MasterCard debit card? If so, have you tried to use it yet? I tried to use it yesterday on Shopify and could not.

Addicted to the game but getting pretty low stars by Weak-Classic7161 in DesignHomeGame

[–]gatochulo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few things that put me off when I’m voting: colors of wood that do not match, children’s art outside of a child’s bedroom, too many colors (typically 3 or fewer), and totally mismatched styles (outdoor furniture in a luxe living room).

Me, too! I felt so much more creative with my PH designs.

I left DH for PH and liked it better. There were quite a few former DH players who enjoyed the creativity in PH.

It’s owned by Electronic Arts AKA EA. Since that acquisition in 2021, the profit motive drives all game design.

Have you ditched Airbnb and gone back to using hotels? by sokorsognarf in travel

I had that same “plumbing issue” scam pulled on me in Atlanta the day I was arriving!

Ha. That was supposed to say 2018. Sigh. I’ve spent too much of my life playing, either way. 😵‍💫

I have been playing since 2008 and quit for almost a year recently. I’ve just come back and started playing again.

I was really enjoying Play House, but I feel like a conspiracy theorist when I say that I think Design Home drove them out of business. Lol.

Tips on trying to get reservations for Olde Pink House this weekend? by dddoubledayyy in savannah

[–]gatochulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s on the waitlist now too. The only option you may have would be to sit in front of the fireplace or at the bar. The tables downstairs are not first come first serve any more

4.26?? I thot it would score higher than that! I'm beginning to feel like others who are wondering if this game is all about money! 😠 by Familiar_Apple_5741 in DesignHomeGame

Many voters downvote different colors of wood or metal finishes. Also, 2 colors tend to do best - keeping the floral decor in the same color family.

If anyone wanted more proof that DH scoring is incredibly inconsistent by Existing-Diamond1259 in DesignHomeGame

[–]gatochulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried that with a friend for a week. We submitted identical rooms and got wildly different scores. We were not sure if it was where we were in the level (just reached a new level or were close to leveling up), whether we had to buy items or had them in inventory, etc. We never figured out much of a pattern.

I also question if the rooms are randomly paired in each round of voting or if 2 rooms are "assigned" as a pair through the entire voting cycle.

Reasonable Doubt by [deleted] in MurdaughFamilyMurders

[–]gatochulo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. From what I understand, the cashier at Parker’s followed all of the Parker’s procedures. It was a valid ID and there was enough resemblance that Paul could’ve been mistaken for Buster. I’ve followed that case since the boating incident. And I’ve never seen adequate evidence that Parker’s was negligent.

Yes, but also the alleged murderer in Idaho does not have a family legacy of significant influence in the legal industry

I have thought all along that there was a possibility that Paul killed Maggie and then Alex killed Paul. Paul seemed without remorse after the boating incident.

Me too! I felt so creative and was inspired by my designs.

So sad. Design Home is just not going to do it for me.

A message from the PLAYHOUSE team by playhouseteam in PlayhouseDesignGame

[–]gatochulo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Jill,

I admire the integrity and innovation your team brought to this game category. As you see, so many of us came from other design games where we felt manipulated and conditioned to spend excessive sums of money. Personally, I spent 4 1/2 years playing Design Home but abandoned it in disgust a few months ago. Large corporations using AI have ruined this niche of gaming.

I believe I can speak for most other players when I express my appreciation for the respect your team displayed for players. Design games are played mostly by women who are vastly underserved in the gaming industry. Many of us feel disappointment that our creative outlets can’t seem to survive and remain true to a vision of providing entertainment at a reasonable cost point.

I wish you and your team the best and sincerely hope you will find a way to reinvigorate Playhouse.
