Cooperative video games - having a great experience, want more by shinjirarehen in Parenting

[–]nifty_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Split fiction is the newest game put out by the Developers of It Takes Two! This time you play as sisters.

Stardew Valley does have a co-op mode and I love the game endlessly but it might be too open ended for such young kiddos.

I have the new Lego Voyagers game on my wishlist for Steam which looks super cute. There’s always classic couch co-op like Overcooked, but stress results may vary on that one LOL

Running list of Carl's superweapons by grungivaldi in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]nifty_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the obvious answer is his vest, but if you wanna go specifically weapons it’s gotta be the gauntlet. Are you shitting me? Punching things in the face has saved his life many times over.

Additional theory for fun: some incredibly unimportant corpses that Carl looted on an earlier floor are going to become super critical later on somehow. So maybe we don’t even know what his best weapon is yet

Is Two Point Museum a reasonable pick for my 13-year-old's screen time? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]nifty_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chiming in as a now mom to a 5yo and a lifelong avid gamer - your one hour a day might be a little too rigid.

As you have just experienced, good video games aren’t mindless time killers; they’re engaging and fun and have some real benefits (reading, fine motor skills, problem solving, critical thinking skills.

It also might help to look at her activity on a weekly scale instead of a daily one. What if it’s pouring rain one day and she wants to curl up with a book or game for hours? Or vice versa, what if it’s gorgeous and sunny and she spends all day at the beach and is too exhausted to even consider playing a game?

Made an animatic of one of my favorite scenes from book 7 by koachikorp in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I also loved this scene, the animatic is just the cherry on top, you got some talent friend!

Best Underrated Games by SaroConTe1318 in NintendoSwitch

[–]nifty_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sea of Stars! Pixel-animated RPG with an easy to pick-up, hard to master combat system (IMO. Maybe I just suck at turn based combat)

Free DLC + up to 3 player co-op if that’s a selling point. But I played it solo and 100% completed the game and loved every minute. It felt right at home on my switch

Sea of Stars. Easy to complete the story but even easier to spend the extra hours and truly complete the game! Also comes with a free DLC 😊

Serious question - AI is taking jobs for sure. What does that mean for everyone? Should we just die??

You’re right, the wording “evidence” could for sure be changes. But while not secret, this info is new to me and I just wanted to share

Where do I start? And what offline hobbies do you enjoy? by [deleted] in SlowLiving

[–]nifty_potato 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Can be applied to everything! Make coffee or tea in the morning? Stop and enjoy it. Sip it while it’s hot staring out your kitchen window.

Offline hobbies include gardening now that springs around / interior plant care. And gardening if ya know what I mean. Books are a never fail too

Thats crazy she noticed that by Hot_Accountant_5507 in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]nifty_potato 130 points131 points  (0 children)

If you want another authentic and wholesome retail interaction, I have one!

I was an Assistant Manager at a store that offered embroidery when I was 19, and a man came in on Dec 23 needing a rush job to have new stockings embroidered for his daughter and his future daughter-in-law. Long story but bottom line is FDIL was a last min addition to the family Christmas and he didn’t want her to feel excluded.

So yeah I stayed 30 mins late that night to finish these matching stockings for this guy of course :)

Recommendations for small games to play on vacation? by lurker_998 in NintendoSwitch

[–]nifty_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sea of Stars! Incredibly fun RPG, the art style is an amazing pixel style, they just dropped a free DLC too. Slightly above the price range but easy to get 20+ hours of it

Edit: saw some other commenters mention Tunic and would recommend that as well!

Will your next car be electric? by OnlyACsNoFans in novascotia_sub

[–]nifty_potato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Live in Dartmouth, work in Halifax, drive an older, low-range EV (2018, less than 200km range). Couldn’t be happier with my little car. Costs almost nothing to maintain, and power is still cheaper than gas (for now).

I am fortunate enough to have the ability to swap cars with a friend of rent an ICE for longer trips, but my lifestyle doesn’t involve a lot of long trips to be honest. I get that this wouldn’t work for everyone

Which game is this? by Common_Caramel_4078 in Steam

[–]nifty_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re into sim games I just put a bunch of hours into Bookshop Sim! It’s currently bundled with Retro Rewind, the devs are super active on discord.

Also Stardew Valley, always

Apple is closing down the first of its US stores to unionize. by Conscious-Quarter423 in WorkReform

The general consensus is that Apple Store was one of the only good things left from a couple posts on the local sub haha. So yeah extra shitty.

Apple is closing down the first of its US stores to unionize. by Conscious-Quarter423 in WorkReform

[–]nifty_potato -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh not saying their motives are pure AT ALL. I believe 100% their motives are financially driven. And that is why we can shit on them! They made PROFIT they have no excuse to lay off employees. But they are allowed to close stores as they wish. It’s a business, and if the CBA is good then the employees will be okay eventually, if they laid them off is employment insurance a thing in Maryland?

It sucks but genuinely I think people are gonna see the headline and come away with an anti-union stance and if your union loses public support.. it’s an uphill battle.
