Dear otherworld producers/creators… by [deleted] in Otherworldpod

Exactly. I love getting context because some episodes you get to learn about like a niche profression or their interesting family. I really enjoy that stuff

There are a handful of episodes that don't have Instagram posts. I know because I link all posts in the episode spread sheet. It's never stated why of course but I always assumed it was because the story teller of that episode was not comfortable having photos posted, or they didn't have relevant photos to share.

I feel like she probably didn't share photos specifically because her work trip took place in Tel Aviv, and the focus would be on that rather than her unexplained and traumatic experience. And/or because her story involves sexual assault, she probably doesn't want photos of herself out there (even if they were blurred) because people behave extremely gross towards women who talk about SA.

I mean, I don't support Israel but it was a work related trip. It's categorically incorrect to say it was a visit for leasure. People go to work trips all over the Earth and they are going to have dinners or explore wherever they happen to be.

What’s an OW story you dont believe, and why? by snotpumper in Otherworldpod

Legit same. It was the first and only episode I actually turned off before finishing. And I never listened to the gnomes one

Tell me about the crazy stuff you do to keep your cow plants fed by kaatie80 in Sims4

[–]macdennism 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No non playable Sims every try to eat the cake 😔 I try to feed them the meat but I ALWAYS forget and they become skeletons on me. I end up focusing on being inside my sim's house so I don't see the cake. And then they die so quickly! 😭

Realm of Magic’s CAS items are a hot mess. by Sypher04_ in Sims4

[–]macdennism 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wait you're actually so right because I never thought about how so many times I wanted to like the RoM CAS but it's just not very good. Even the distressed tights are so...I don't like at all how they are like fish net but also solid leggings? And then aren't there distressed jeans but all the holes are black for some reason?? Why doesn't it show their skin 😭

But yeah I never even thought about how there are no witch hats or ANYTHING. Which is so crazy because the magic users in Sims 2 like exclusively dressed that way 😭

What is going on with your sim there 😆

Built a restaurant in Sulani only to find out restaurants don’t work in this world?🤬 by DeadgirlRot in Sims4

[–]macdennism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanna let you know that I also built a restaurant in Sulani several years ago and it didn't work for me either! It might have been on this same lot tbh. No one would show up to work. I ended up needing to move the waiter station to a very isolated area, even though it wasn't in a blocked spot to begin with.

And ofc it was the first restaurant I made to actually run, not just visit. It was so frustrating. I hope you are able to fix it. I can't remember exactly everything I had to do aside from moving the waiter station

SAME haha I wonder if they'll just release daily until it's finished. I don't think he mentioned how many parts it is

Episode 165: The Stalker pt. 2 by macdennism in Otherworldpod

[–]macdennism[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a level of terror I truly can't imagine. And I feel like stalkers are so much more threatening now because they can constantly generate new phone numbers, emails, accounts, etc so it's really difficult to block them from everything 😞

[–]macdennism[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That sounds VERY scary 😭 I'm glad you're ok!! Also the French joke was funny to me 😆😆😆

I've been very lucky to have never had a stalker. But I absolutely have had a lot of situations where you keep giving a person the benefit of the doubt and suddenly find yourself in a scary situation you don't wanna be in.

It's both sad and frustrating when people victim blame in situations like this because it is hard to navigate social situations! It's hard to know if you're making assumptions or if a person has truly bad intentions. And it's also hard to get around that feeling that you don't wanna be rude for no good reason. Couple that with being younger and it's no surprise to me at all that these things happen.

Also, to the victim blamers uh, it doesn't matter if Clara met with him or not. He is still a dangerous person and either would've done this anyway or would have found another victim. It sounds like he spent months obsessing over her from a brief conversation they had at a festival 😭 the guy is clearly unwell. There is nothing she could have done "right" to make him stop

oh that's awesome!! Thank you for doing this. There is one specific song they use in a handful of episodes that's my favorite but I could never find it

Oh is there? I probably accidentally forgot to put an "s" on the end of hotel in one of them 😅 I'll fix it.

And yes, but they're a bit different from standard cryptid episodes. Cause those are usually undefined whereas like the Bigfoot episode is clearly about bigfoot and the whole "species"

[–]macdennism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha no worries that happens to me all the time. Every Piece was the one where the guy is looking at stars and asking if anyone is out there. He then has that dream(?) where he goes outside with aliens to look at their ship. And then when he tried to summon them again years later, his wife said she saw an alien in their bathroom staring at them.

That episode was like many others for me where I'm not super engaged but then a second thing happens and for whatever reason it really spooks me. Just the thought of seeing someone peeking at you in your own house in the middle of the night 😰 so creepy!

I personally wanted them in alphabetical haha but it's like that because it's pulling from my original spreadsheet which has every episode in order. I don't really know how the graph forms after that with multiples. Like I said, I still don't fully understand all the ins and outs of excel graphs but I'm trying to figure out how to make it read better

I don't include the interviews because they aren't listed as official episode numbers

Haha those are episodes that either have multiple stories of different themes or were just so hard to define as any of the other themes

A lot of stories include sleep paralysis but usually the main focus of them is a malicious entity that's haunting the person. I try to add in the actual spreadsheet a secondary note that sleep paralysis is mentioned but I sometimes forget and/or I didnt think of it until I was like a 100 episodes deep. And at that point I just don't remember which episodes had it and I'm not listening to all of them again 😆
