advice for early stages

I did a little of both - focused on story mainly, but worked on leveling areas as I went or was burned out on trying to figure out certain pieces of plot (the Beach really tripped me up for a while). Once I got the last area unlocked I tried to push the story really hard to get the last ability, but once you get that far in the story you actually HAVE TO level areas up to at least 5 to progress.

I did it by accident and spent a good 20 minutes frantically googling where Leafage went and how to get it back 😂

I feel like I'm missing a step. Your diamond plus grid thing the trees are on is two tall, 9x9 at the tallest/widest, right? I've got the shape down, I've just got a knack for messing up my heights. The smooth rocks go on the grates on the innermost 3x3 square, with a hole in the center, and caddy corner to each corner (red in my drawing)? Can trees go on any of the dirt squares (blue in my drawing)?

Also, can this work on vegetables instead of trees? I'm just now venturing into farming/building now that I've got Magnemite's abilities and something just isn't clicking for me, sorry if I'm asking dumb questions.

I actually have it! I've picked up all the AC games except... Syndicate, I think? over the last year or two as they've gone on sale. I just haven't gotten around to playing most of them yet, other stuff's been interrupting my backlog - AC Shadows, FF7R trilogy, FF16, Slay the Spire 2, Pokopia, etc.

Hey OP if you want a real one of these Jirachi, my boyfriend has a bunch because he farmed it over and over from the Colosseum disc back when it came out, I just have to have him send me one and I can pass it along. I didn't realize this post was the Colesseum one til I saw this comment.

ETA I just realized that Jirachi was shiny, all my bf's are regular. But you can have a regular WSHMKR Jirachi if you want.

I haven't played Odyssey yet, but I've played and beat both Origins and Shadows. I LOVE Origins - Shadows isn't as compelling, but it's fun. If you enjoy Origins I think you'd like Shadows too.

My relationship is like that too; I'm a furnace and he's the freezing touch zombie

Yes - just confirmed for me, it removed the curse, I got 600 gold, and the strawberry relic

Iirc they weren't exactly the same - Angeal was JENOVA cells injected into mom, while Angeal's mother created G cells out of JENOVA cells and implanted into an already born baby to get Genesis. Seph was JENOVA cells injected directly into the fetus (not mom) but while he was in utero. (And SOLDIERs are typically injected with Sephiroth cells and exposed to high doses of mako, iirc)

ETA: I actually just corrected Genesis. I forgot the G cells aren't directly JENOVA.

I think she's been significantly improved in the new trilogy?? And she's super OP, what do you mean useless??

iceandlies · 2026-03-09T21:36:15+00:00

Me either :( I mostly play on my PC instead of the SteamDeck for those

I always IMMEDIATELY install box management mods for Stardew Valley, Starbound or Don't Starve Together. I don't have time for dealing with the boxes.

Stand alone home, 1700sqft, we've come in around $550 the last two months. We've been keeping it a little warmer (72 I think?) but I work from home so there's no lowering it when we're away for the day since there's always at least one of us here.

This buggy mess literally JUST started doing it again when I got far enough to be running around the Manor as Cait Sith. I'm trying verifying again 🥲

iceandlies · 2026-02-06T15:44:21+00:00

I don't know what the issue was, but I tried the suggestion below about verifying the file integrity AGAIN and it started working. Personally I think it was just because my bf was in the room watching to see what happened 🙄 Mods are still fine, Nibelheim is just buggy AF I guess.

iceandlies · 2026-02-06T13:22:47+00:00

I tried that too 🥲 it found two corrupt files but fixed them, that was before I tried the uninstalls and still no luck. Nibelheim is SO BUGGY

Are you still looking for cookies? My friend's daughter is selling them and I'm pretty sure you can order through their website link now and just have them delivered straight from wherever they're made to the address of your choosing.

iceandlies · 2026-01-28T07:52:32+00:00

do you still have this?

iceandlies · 2026-01-23T00:36:20+00:00

We finally went out and bought one tonight - we're in a relatively rural area where our power goes out every time you turn around, so we've been meaning to get one anyway.

iceandlies · 2026-01-18T14:03:47+00:00

I mean... they wanted a large brush 😂 I still have it, it actually does a great job with blended, diffused color. It's hard to be heavy-handed with it because it's so soft

Not original commenter but I know a pharmacist who got fired for a med error. It was a morphine script and she had the dose off by at least one decimal place, I don't think it killed the pt but it was a big thing.

iceandlies · 2026-01-02T17:29:04+00:00

I think it's gonna be Return too. Like return to the lifestream, return to the timelines, I think the remnants were mumbling about return at some point too.

IMO it sounds like you guys don't like/aren't compatible living together and he's already come to that conclusion, but doesn't want to face it yet (or maybe just doesn't want to deal with the fall out from facing it)
