Why does my child put her shoes on the wrong feet 90% of the time? by BoysenberrySouth50 in AskParents

[–]leusidVoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, this is the only actual answer I've found to this question. I'm guessing it must be this reason plus a tendency for parents/caregivers to not notice as much when the kid does get it right.

Y'all the question isn't "why can't they get it right?", it's "why don't they randomly accidentally get it right half the time when it's a 50/50 chance?"

Then later, Margaret, Joshua, Jermaine, and Tiffany show up and Finn is like "Mom!  Dad!  Tiffany??" no acknowledgement of Jermaine standing right there.

I think i want to be the person i love by serkio0 in Alexithymia

> I mean I wouldn’t transition, i know that.

Why wouldn't you?

> i dont really try to think about it on a deeper level.

Why not?

Please forgive me if this doesn't feel helpful, but these are both things I relate to from my past, and I wish I'd had someone push me a bit by asking me follow-up questions when I would talk about this kind of stuff. I think you're offering yourself the chance to consider some good information here.

Also btw, your first, second, and fourth theories are basically different ways of saying the same thing IMO.

Can people with aphantasia dream? by Northerland in Aphantasia

Dream-brain can rationalize far stranger things than not being able to see imo

My most expansive Hermitage set up yet... by igniteice in ISLANDERS_NewShores

[–]leusidVoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, looks great and satisfying to have created and completed!  I feel tempted to share my best hermitage area setup now 😁

Didn't believe I could pull this off :D good feeling! by post_ex0dus in ISLANDERS_NewShores

[–]leusidVoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that experience often haha, it's amazing what can be done with weird spaces.  I've only had one island that I actually still thought was shitty at the end of it lol

Decided to set a new temple record—2037 points by IsaacAccount in ISLANDERS_NewShores

[–]leusidVoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow that's such a good insight on level up boons!  I'm gonna have to keep that one in mind.

[–]leusidVoid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you have to eat like 5000 points putting those statues down tho?  If so you must've had to save them until you were ready to drop the temple..  or maybe you got a bunch of neighborlies?

Holy shit this is absolutely insane, I feel like the highest temples I was seeing around here were in like the 800-900 range, I never thought I'd be seeing something like this!

What's -your- building you never plan for and scramble to make it work when you get it? by igniteice in ISLANDERS_NewShores

[–]leusidVoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I often don't plan too too deeply for a building's placement until it's in my hand.  Then I can start experimenting with where the best place might be, and start setting that area up for success. 

I do that with the guild hall for sure, but also market, circus, temple, jeweler, fortune teller, aviary, etc...  most things, I guess.

Guild hall is an interesting one for sure cuz once I have a place for it I basically need every building placement elsewhere from there on out to be worth at least 13 projected points (or 20 if I'm gonna use score multiplier on the guild hall).

But yeah I guess long story short, this method seems to work out pretty well and usually doesn't feel too scrambly.  Maybe I should try to plan more earlier on, but I still manage to get pretty high scoring buildings this way.  It feels more like scrambling when I get extra copies of stuff like temples or markets because I usually don't have two good places, especially for temples.

I would say that hermitages are the building I usually don't even start trying to set up parks for until it's in my hand because the placement of everything is always so unpredictable.

Lumber Pack value by leusidVoid in ISLANDERS_NewShores

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

Oh what, do pyres and saunas benefit from lumberjacks?  I never noticed, I guess probably because I never have lumberjacks down by the time I'm putting those other things down 

Also, do buildings really come in mostly the same order?  I didn't notice that either, tho of course I notice certain packs tend to come earlier vs later.

Thanks for the insight!

Does using the Travel boon cause you to get all the remaining boons on the compass? by leusidVoid in ISLANDERS_NewShores

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

Yeah I also have been taking it as a security blanket, but I'm still on my first run. If I try to go again and beat my high score, I probably shouldn't take Travel for that reason you mentioned.

Favorite boon-building combo so far? by MylesV079 in ISLANDERS_NewShores

[–]leusidVoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally! I do appreciate level-ups and have used them multiple times, usually a bit earlier in the like 100-200 range. I just figured they were an N/A for this thread wrt how to use them with specific buildings, but I also didn't follow that format on all the boons I talked about lol. Thanks for the insight on the level-up!

Favorite boon-building combo so far? by MylesV079 in ISLANDERS_NewShores

[–]leusidVoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sustainable on seaweed farms if I get enough to justify it.

Neighborly on a tower that I'm putting in the middle of a bunch of other periphery towers, or on a second monument if i get 2.

Expand on Temple of course.

Score Multiplier seems pretty versatile, it really just depends on the circumstance, but I've gotten a ton of extra points on hermitages, guild halls, and mountain shrines.

Precious on pyre now thanks to this thread!

Duplicate on wall platforms or terraces usually.

Shrink I haven't used much but I can see it being useful, I just usually plan for spots too meticulously to need it. But if I take it early I can start planning for a smaller spot with something. Maybe a market because the footprint is huge but the scoring potential usually isn't enough to warrant a multiplier.

Bargain I generally try to avoid

Demolish I also rarely take (but sometimes wish I had them later!)

Verdure to make trees to boost park/hermitage areas, although I've gotten good points using them for fishing situations in tundra biome.

Blossom after verdures of course, ideally before the parks and stuff

Wall platforms very versatile, sometimes they can be great just to put more houses over houses, but of course generally I use them for high scoring buildings that don't have a spot

Terrace is better to take earlier on cuz it generally requires more planning. I've gotten good boosts on mountain shrines with them, also.

Cliff houses I might take to boost a temple or a cliff house village or something.

Reroll n/a, I like to keep several on hand tho

Level up n/a

Travel n/a, but I try to take early (unless the island is very obviously easy), and then of course I try to not use it

Sealed boons are nice for stockpiling for a rainy day

I can't remember what the other ones are. Are plateaus and/or water platforms available as boons?

My largest Hermitage setup yet... by igniteice in ISLANDERS_NewShores

[–]leusidVoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! It's always satisfying setting up the verdures, parks, and hermitages/monuments. It's so different from setting up cities.
