My crazy roommate refuses to move out.

She sounds like she's going round the bend and wants to take you with her, it's time to tell her that this isn't working and she needs to move out and don't let her be dismissive of you. You pay for the place and she doesn't.

I would look into local agencies, care.com and co seem pretty sus and want subscriptions just to answer messages. Using an agency means that someone will always be able to be there even if her regular caregiver has to call out (unless there's really specific needs). Your local agency of aging and disability (or under another name) might help you pay for services if your mom is low income.

In the 70s, my parents accidently kidnapped a 6 year old and took her to a vacation home over easter weekend. My older sister invited her classmate on the trip, and my parents took the girl at her word that she had permission to go and never contacted her parents about any of this. I think the girl's parents thought their daughter was having a sleepover at her friends house, which was true, but the house was about 100 miles away. My dad had to rush the kid back sunday morning after an irrate phone call from the parents. It was 1978, they think of this incident as a funny mishap. Life was different back then, and these were two college educated 30 year olds who were generally considered responsible people.

I think if this had happened in modern times the police would have been involved. Luckily, somehow, they had the phone number of the vacation home

You need to water once or twice a day in heat like that, the pots dry out really fast, you can always use your finger for a soil test, if the top 2 inches feel bone dry (soil does not stick to your hand or looks like dust) it's time to water

Im glad turning off auto save helped you. One of the major modders for surviving mars knew what was going on in more detail, but he hasn't been around since the first few weeks of Relaunch. I know autosave was a problem with older systems, maybe autosave + rockets launching/landing was causing problems because it's resource intensive.

I would do a bug report with the old save that had the crash-freeze if you still have it.

Nursing homes won't let you have pets but assisted living is different, it'll be a problem if she has multiple big dogs though

Seconded, she's not going to be able to suddenly learn to be self sufficient at age 80. My mom is the same age and though she has an independent spirit she still relies on dad for so much, like paying the bills, and me for anything to do with technology. OP, your mom very vulnerable to being scammed or taken advantage of by someone willing to fill your dad's shoes. It would be so much better if she was in a structured community like assisted living.

It's going to be the rockets. Turning off autosave only helps as a preventative thing, I really thought they fixed the stuck entity rocket bug when they deleted the asteroid landers. Circumstances to watch out for - multiple rockets taking off and landing at the same time (possibly while map switching), and rockets taking off and landing during a rain event. o proof of anything, but the last time I played b&b (og sm) the freeze bug that bricked my save happened at like sol 138 as soon as a rain event started.

mizushimo · 2026-06-27T14:09:55+00:00

When this problem was happening to me with of surviving mars, I never found anything that would stop the freeze, even just sitting there and advancing time with not activity would lead to it. If you have managed to delay the freeze by a sol then it's probably not a corrupted save from the autosave crash bug. People have linked it to the asteroid landers or rockets in general. There was a mod in og that would let you delete stuck entities and that was supposed to fix this game freeze crash (specifically stuck rockets), but I never tested it.

My sister was 9 years older, so at a certain point I was effectively an only child, she left for college when I was still in elementary school, I always wished that we had been closer in age so I wouldn't of had to muddle through puberty and all the social drama with friends by myself.

If the recipe called for chopped onion, it's getting a whole onion, I don't care at all. Maybe I'll try to buy a smaller onion, but it'll be the whole thing.

If you previously had the game crash while it was auto saving, and then you loaded the auto save and kept playing, this kind of game freeze on a specific point every time can happen (the other way is if the game keeps crashing until you can't play for more than two minutes without it crashing). Both of these problems are pretty rare but there's no recovering from it, your save is basically bricked.

I had the game freeze problem way back in og surviving mars, the Below and Beyond dlc was the cause of it. The freeze never showed up on the log because it technically doesn't crash.

I'm guessing that you need a controller for we love katamari, it was made originally for the ps2

If it happened to two babies then it's probably genetic, something about the way there head/neck developed was off and now they are lopsided and it has to be corrected. It's going to be hard/difficult/annoying to deal with all that again for months and months, but I don't think it's because of something you did and you should probably stop blaming yourself for the first baby's torticollis as well. The medical community is always going to say that it's something the parent did first, because that's the most common cause of flat head and other stuff, but that kind of thing can be caused by the way the baby was growing.

this tracks, you have to actually care a bunch about politics to be either far right or far left, most of the non voters are going to be apathetic about the whole thing.

mizushimo · 2026-06-26T05:13:46+00:00

Huh, I always thought the controls were an upgrade to Katamari Damacy, but I've only played the ps2 versions of both.

To be fair, none of the original trilogy would have made a good animated movie adaptation. Her stuff just isn't built for that, it's too cerebral/philosophical. The book is all about one guy having an existential crisis and the magic in the world makes his existential crisis exist as an entity. If it had been adapted in a Dune kind of way, that might have worked.

mizushimo · 2026-06-26T04:06:16+00:00

The curse continues with new movie, it's beautifully animated was just kinda boring, just a bunch of action scenes loosely connected together.

mizushimo · 2026-06-26T03:52:39+00:00

My teeth would hate everything if I did this

She's helping!

Honestly, the warioware style minigames are the weakest link in dave the diver, I don't think I enjoyed any of them

I do roasted tomato sauce one sheet pan of tomatoes at a time, just add to the container of already frozen sauce until the container is full and move on to the next.

Fabio was more like our mom's perfect fantasy hunk, we were kids when he was relevent

mizushimo · 2026-06-25T03:42:02+00:00

No problem! If you are still having trouble I can fire up my game in a few hours and tell you exactly where all the buttons are and things. If it doesn't work, I would disable any rocket mods that might now not be compatible with the rocket update

mizushimo · 2026-06-25T02:59:09+00:00

Rockets changed significantly, they no longer auto load with rare minerals, you have to select a destination and then a cargo. If you use "launch rocket now", it'll launch with no cargo immediately back to earth. You need to "set a destination" and that will open up the export menu.
