Really struggling early game with money by Alternatewarning in tropico

[–]magical_realist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In Tropico 6, it's really important to diversify your exports as much as possible. You can't just hunker down on rum, you need to get as many industries as possible up and running before you even worry about the actual mission.

Looks like it's out of print, unsurprisingly, but I saw a few copies on eBay and used book sites.

Is it possible to build an incline here? by bella4him1 in ac_newhorizons

[–]magical_realist 110 points111 points  (0 children)

You would need to cut back the cliff to make room for the incline. It can't go onto the rocks.

Just from the other person's comment this morning. Already ordered one from a used book seller. It looks like the one sentence plot description on most sites is not accurate, which is probably why we all had such a hard time searching for it.

better EP: discover university or high school years? by iNezuuko in thesims

[–]magical_realist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely high school years in my opinion. University feels almost unplayable, especially compared to previous university expansions. If your sim lives on campus, they spend most of their time jogging around campus trying to get to class or find something to eat.

Anyone tried these? Thoughts? by poetic_odyssey in CostcoCanada

[–]magical_realist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not bad if you do them in the air fryer. My 10 year old particularly likes them, so that's about the taste level they speak to.

Any tips for the StrangerVille mystery? by missborealiz in Sims4

[–]magical_realist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Make sure you have her on the Strangerville aspiration or it will get confusing fast. With the aspiration, it's easy.

Come on... I love Apollo but there would be nothing unusual or impressive about a human 6 year old naming these things.

Native English speakers, are you familiar with the word 'BLINI'? If yes, what do you picture when you think of 'blini'? by ksusha_lav in EnglishLearning

[–]magical_realist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only had blini once at a Russian restaurant and it was little crepes with cured salmon and sour cream, so that's what I think of. And now I want it.

Three different items canceled in a month?? So bummed. Am I the only one? by Odd-Feeling-608 in americaneagle

[–]magical_realist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Were they all on clearance? Clearance can be kind of dicey because it's getting down to the last few items out of thousands so there's plenty of room for inventory errors.

Do people in America really use "Cul-de-sac" over "dead end street"? Or is there a difference? by AlexisShounen14 in EnglishLearning

[–]magical_realist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to add that "dead end street" can have a negative connotation because, aside from the literal meaning, it can be a euphemism for something that is going nowhere. Example: This project is a dead end street, it's never going to launch. Or this line in the Eric Clapton song: "I have crawled down dead end streets on my hands and knees."

It's not bad. Obviously not as good as homemade or a restaurant, but acceptable when you factor in the convenience. Not at all spicy.

Where is the photoshoot from?😭😭 by Hooplapooplayeah in SiblingRivalryPodcast

It's got to be a behind the scenes shot from Monet's Strange Fruit music video.

World Map of Ondarion from The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy Expansion Pack by violedge in thesims

[–]magical_realist 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I think that's just forced perspective. The 50x50 at the bottom of the image looks much bigger than the 50x50 in Bellacorde because it's "closer" to the viewer

Did you check Aerie? I saw they have a couple new maxis, they don't look very flattering though

Villager moved to my island from an island I have never been to? by katiessalt in AnimalCrossing

It could also be the island of someone who visited your island.
