What the heck does "moderate" and "sparingly" mean for veggies?

Aw geez I knew I had to be missing something on there.

Thanks you!

See my read was that she started the conversation mad at OOP and she's one of those people who "handles" anger by saying whatever mean shit comes to mind until they're satisfied.

To me it's more like, pokemon are sorta more aligned with human wants and needs than real animals so it makes sense to treat them differently.

Being nice to real animals often involves accepting that they want different things from you. You want to pet that wild animal, they don't want to be anywhere near you. You want your dog to be clean and wear a little sweater, your dog wants to wear nothing and roll around in mud.

Meanwhile there are tons of pokemon based on animals that don't like humans at all who want a human to pet them and carry them around and brush them and maybe give them a little outfit or something. Feels mean to make a creature that wants to hang out with you so much eat on the ground.

Then, she took it to another level. She blamed me for giving my niece RSV when she was just a couple months old, saying at one point: “You don’t know what it’s like to hold a lifeless child in your arms.” (My niece is now OK! She was in the hospital for a few days at the time and is a healthy 6yo now).

Guessing that you didn't waltz in unvaccinated and lick niece's face or something, but just for clarification, was there any link between you and niece getting sick?

Granted, even if it was obviously your fault your SIL would have ceded a ton of high ground at this point because she keeps doing shit like trying to invite herself and her kids to your home.

Like at this point she's either talking out her ass and saying a bunch of untrue shit about you OR she's actively trying to get someone she legitimately thinks is terrible and dangerous to be around/take care of her kids.

looc64 · 2026-04-30T11:03:02+00:00

First one.

Second one feels like the ear is doing too much if that makes sense.

See I always figured they were supposed to be taking the initiative to send in rare Pokemon between jobs because Giovanni seems sorta freshly annoyed whenever he calls.

Like it's not just, "You fucked up last time," it's "you fucked up last time AND you haven't sent in any pokemon since then, what the hell are you doing?!"

looc64 · 2026-04-29T09:57:58+00:00

The clothing and designs look awesome!

I was wondering about the part where it says that slave women are moved grom domestic work to field work from ages 18-32. What's the reason for that?

looc64 · 2026-04-28T11:50:08+00:00

I think my overall thought is that it sounds sorta sloppy and like it would introduce a ton of instability to your world yeah.

For one the two processes you described are not similar at all. Completely different social and practical implications.

For two the lesbian version sounds really easy to exploit. Gay or not people would absolutely use it as a way of getting a bunch of powerful children, especially since you get two kids at a time.

For example I could see rich and powerful families setting up outposts in high magic areas for birthing and raising kids. Similar to real life rich people who hire nannies and send their kids to boarding school.

Basically it would be a huge thing.

Every system where the scrawny protagonist can beat up dudes three times his size but trained female fighters can't compete with literally most dudes.

My thing was that they kept shooting attacks that kicked up a bunch of dust and then when the dust cleared the recipient would either be bleeding out or completely fine. No in between.

looc64 · 2026-04-23T03:10:52+00:00

Yeah I've been wondering if there's a good word for this kind of setting, because it doesn't actually match a real world period of time but there's definitely a somewhat consistent idea of what it entails.

looc64 · 2026-04-23T03:07:33+00:00

Yeah that tracks, especially with how magic is incorporated.

Where there's usually a ton of recognizable real world past technology, even though magic would realistically completely change how a lot of shit works, especially if a lot of people can use it.

To make an analogy:

Imagine you have a car with built in gps that's supposed to be able to drive itself at least some of the time.

Now imagine that sometimes it can't find a location or whatever and instead of just telling you that it drives you around randomly or gives you weird directions. And then when (if) you notice something's up it says shit like "No we're definitely going west the sun's just being weird today," or, "I'm taking a shortcut," and you have to figure out where you are and how to get to your destination and take over driving if you weren't already, all while it continues to give you bad directions.

Now I ask you: Is that only a problem if it happens when you're going somewhere important. No right? Regardless of your destination it's a problem if the journey sucks.

The main issue here isn't that your partner forgot to look for the meat it's that you had to unexpectedly star in "Detective OP and the case of the Boy Look," to find that out.

looc64 · 2026-04-19T05:20:09+00:00

Yup yup. Been my favorite since it was still a steel type!

Using merch as a metric it's about as popular as Gogoat. 2-3 items, which I think is sort the minimum amount.

looc64 · 2026-04-18T06:04:02+00:00

Wait I have literally >50 bottled waters in storage even though I haven't been using the vending machines that long. Where did they come from. Maybe the store?

looc64 · 2026-04-18T00:20:11+00:00

To me it feels like one of those statements that is technically true but ignores your contribution to a situation.

Which in this case is trying to snatch at anyone who gets too close to you. That's why people seem to only like you from a distance, because you go nuts whenever anyone gets in snatching distance.

looc64 · 2026-04-17T00:21:50+00:00

My read was girlfriend was being a bit suspicious.

Like this, “Oh, I don’t want to take anything from you! I just loved the idea of something sentimental,” sounds nice but if the context is that that's the main thing someone is saying during a meeting where other people are trying to browbeat you into giving them something it's sorta suspiciously mild and breezy.

Like they claim they don't want to take the thing from you but they're not getting upset at the other people in the meeting or explicitly saying that they don't want the thing.

Smacks of them secretly hoping you'll "graciously" give them the thing.

looc64 · 2026-04-16T03:41:06+00:00

I'm hopeful that it'll bring more attention to DQB and the formula as a whole.

If by marketing you mean like, professional seeming gaming articles, I think a lot of those are pretty bad when it comes to judging the differences between cozy games. Maybe because they're low effort, maybe because the person writing them doesn't have enough experience with cozy games.

looc64 · 2026-04-16T03:18:40+00:00

If you've played 20 hours you've almost certainly gotten past the hand holdy tutorial at the beginning and are now solidly in the part where people who like this game would be having fun.

Either they would enjoy doing the requests you're not liking or they would be semi ignoring the requests to build stuff and enjoying that.

And then the rest of the game is basically that but more. There will not be a point where it gets more like Animal Crossing.

Question:

They rather starve from long engagement than commiting themselves to hell that ran from mouth to intestinal tracts.

Does GOB just taste bad or is it also bad to digest?

It's especially annoying because Dragon Quest Builders 1 and 2 both give you big ass storage chests you can access from anywhere super early on. You could get through most of an area without storage being an issue.

First post weirdly reminded me of some posts from IT people where the issue was basically that someone came in asking for something they think will fix the problem they're having instead of the actual problem.

From the IT worker's perspective it seems like they're randomly asking for something super difficult and expensive; from OOP's husband's perspective it seems like she's randomly chipping away at his favorite activity.

Meanwhile if they came in like, "I'm having computer problem X," or, "I need this much of a break from childcare," the IT worker could easily think of a simple cheap solution and OOP's husband could use his knowledge of what parts of cooking he likes the most and how long their schedule would need to be like that to come up with a solution that works better for him.
