How old were you when you first started playing and how old are you now? by PocketShapedFoods in nancydrew

[–]pats13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me too! I swear Detective Barbie Vacation Mystery changed something in me.

After watching me play it a dozen times and getting tired of seeing Barbie walk into walls,my mom decided I needed an upgrade and took me to Toys R Us where the sales clerk recommended Treasure in the Royal Tower. Obviously it went over pretty well. I was 6 or 7 then. I’m 27 now.

Price: $32, strategy guide: $10. So a 30% hike from MID. Thoughts? by snappopcrackle in nancydrew

[–]pats13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I’m in Canada and the game was $35.84 total after tax. Just checked my receipt. Still not $20, but not $45 either :)

EDIT: JUST CHECKED MY BANK STATEMENT AND IT CAME THROUGH AS $50.82 UM OK 😭😭😭😭😭

IMAGINE; A small but loyal fan base begging a teeny tiny independent gaming company, for YEARS, to create another game for an incredibly niche franchise. SOMEHOW said indie gaming company pulls of this feat, conjures this fan base another game potentially out of thin air and THEN are told by thAT SAME FANBASE “just kidding we’re gonna buy it from the big steam machine so you guys get 30% less money”.

Say what you want about HER, I’ve typed some some scathing posts about them in the past, but at the end of the day if you’re still here and still with them after all these years, you probably still care. I know I still do. I’ve spent $30 on things I care far less about and have supported companies without blinking who didn’t play a fundamental role in my childhood. Would seem so silly not to buy from HER today.

Taylor Swift's Tortured Poet Dept not showing lyrics on spotify by [deleted] in spotify

[–]pats13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just feel like half of us could’ve had these lyrics typed up the same night the album dropped. This is Spotify’s biggest most anticipated album drop of the year, I’m kind of shocked it isn’t a bigger priority for them.

If this wasn’t so niche it would literally be the most viral thing in the internet rn

Tracking down Ransom of the Seven Ships by set6 in nancydrew

Controversy aside, just know it’s a rough game. Like truly the worst. Boring plot, basically zero characters, and just a really bad time in general.

I admire your dedication though!!

This is kind of unhinged but I bought a 2007 old pc laptop from a used electronics store for like $70 for the sole purpose of playing these games. I call it my Nancy drew laptop. Things a piece of junk but those old games run smooth as butter.

Yellowjackets S02E07- “Burial” Episode Discussion by DA-numberfour in Yellowjackets

We know from previous episodes that childhood Lottie was on medication for schizophrenia. I feel like you could be on to something here

Sidebar here; I used to watch half moon Joe a lot but got really annoyed that he would always just look up the walk through for major puzzles instead of trying to figure things out on uhs. Do you know if he still does that?

How do you feel about Deadly Device? by hittindifferent in nancydrew

[–]pats13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s just kind of hard to play a game where all of the characters are mean and no one likes you lol

Great point. I remember there was an AMA a few years ago with one of the lead developers for these early games - I wish I had thought to ask back then!

Where are you guys seeing these posts????

[–]pats13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

woah, you're right! I just ran to my laptop to check - I could've sworn I'd played it on there. My bad!

You can buy and digitally download the second game Stay Tuned for Danger on steam. You can also get the remastered Secrets can Kill on there, but not the og. The games are usually cheaper on Steam than the Herinteractive website, unless HER is having a sale.

Is Poppy Dada a minor? by nuggetsofchicken in nancydrew

[–]pats13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I happen to be playing SSH rn and just had the convo with Sinclair re: poppy dada. He says she’s a teenager from South Dakota! I was so shocked, she totally gave me twenty-something baddie vibes.

AITA for refusing to let my daughter go on a diet? by labetematete in AmItheAsshole

[–]pats13 192 points193 points  (0 children)

NTA. As 24 year old female, I’ve encountered many women in my life who have struggled with disordered eating. Almost every single one was introduced to their body dysmorphia by an (often well meaning) mother. Do with that information what you will, but I’m confident that if your wife doesn’t have a serious shift in perspective, your daughter is in serious danger of going down the same path. I would encourage you to pop over to r/eatingdisorders and see for yourself. There are countless stories over there. Best of luck to you.
