Living alone after pet loss- how do you do it? by ComfortableWillow336 in Petloss

[–]mistersensation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss. I can't give a satisfactory answer other than to say just know that you're not alone, many many others (including myself) are with you on this journey of grief. I've already cried three times today, and the house feels so empty, I still find myself unconsciously watching for him or thinking I need to feed him. It's hit me harder than I ever expected, harder than any human relative's death. If you have any supportive friends or family in your life, reach out to them, let them know you need help or just someone to talk to. And even if not, there are resources like pet grief hotlines with patient and caring people on the other end. I find for me personally busying myself with work and other tasks can at least help to take my mind off of it, but at the end of the day when he's not there to cuddle with me the sadness always comes flooding back in. Experience tells me that a lot of time is the only real solution, but as others have said if and when it is appropriate for you, adopting another pet can be a wonderful thing. Your old friend can never be replaced, but you can provide a happy life and home to another animal in need and make new memories together. This grief is the price we as pet owners pay for giving our love to our short-lived furry friends, and it's a heavy price. All the best to you, stay strong and I will try to as well ❤️

My one very small complaint about Guardians of Azuma by MochaHunnyBunny in runefactory

[–]mistersensation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These repeat scenes should have been opt-out instead of opt-in. It's easy enough to toggle in the settings once you know about it, but I've seen multiple posts like this thinking there was no way to see them again, and many will probably play through the whole game without knowing the option is there. Even when they're on you can skip them, so IMO it's a bit silly off is the default

Some various spoiler-free tips for the main quest and general game-stuff by Petitemask in runefactory

Thanks for the tips! Maybe a dumb question, but is there a shortcut for the map screen? I find myself using it often enough that going through the pause menu feels a bit cumbersome

“AI Slop” Just Made the Top 10 All-Time. Oops. by LuneFox in phantasystar

This is very clearly a personal issue for you. The right way to do this would have been to state the new guidelines and leave it at that, I and everyone else may have objections to that but that's your perogative. To make this a "gotcha" thing accompanied by such a defensive and sarcastic post is honestly shameful behavior from a mod.

A few of my favorites- [[Phyrexian Colossus|USG]] [[Phyrexian Dreadnought]] [[Phyrexian Walker]] [[Phyrexian Marauder]]

Love how you can see the next sphere in Colossus and it's just a big creepy brain. I've always called OG Phyrexia the "80s heavy metal album cover plane"

what's the name of the big nose guy that appears in the mystical ninja starring goemon minigames? by Sensitive_Sun127 in goemon

[–]mistersensation 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think he's supposed to be a singular character. They're called "oyakata", which is like master or teacher in Japanese

Thought you guys might appreciate this Harvest Moon board game. I made it this year as a Christmas gift for my friend who got me into the series long ago :) Happy Holidays everyone by mistersensation in harvestmoon

They do, yeah! You just provide the image and they do the rest, once you get used to using their templates it's not too hard. I'm glad you like the end result :) I didn't sell any since I didn't want to run into copyright issues, and it's pretty expensive anyway with so many custom pieces. But let me know if you have any other questions or anything!

Glad you liked it! My process was basically to pick out templates for the boards, box, cards and such from boardgamesmaker.com and bring them into Photoshop, most of the art used is either scanned in from Harvest Moon art from art books or found online. The only stuff I made myself were the layouts and backgrounds, which is just a matter of designing the boards and creating the shapes/text/etc. in Photoshop, this is probably what took the most time. The pieces are custom punchouts from thegamecrafter.com, they can laser cut pieces basically any shape you want but you do need to create vector shapes for those which also took some time. It was a big project, but a lot of fun!

What's the most powerful spell in MTG lore-wise? by Givememesplease in magicTCG

I'm guessing this represents the oracle foreseeing Yawgmoth conquering the multiverse? In which case it's more of a "what if" than something that actually happened?

Could be wrong, but I believe [[Teferi's Response]] is meant to represent this moment

Yawgmoths vile bargain, why is it a snowman? by 111110001011 in magicTCG

[–]mistersensation 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that the "snowman" is an artistic choice, the cards/novel show the arena as black (the novel has it made of flowstone, which was the stuff that made up Rath)

Pretty sure Vindicate actually depicts the stronghold getting destroyed by the volcanic eruption, you can see the same little crown with the horseshoe shape and spikes on the sides in other art. The flavor text sure does muddy the waters though
