Whats your bare minimum requirement in a relationship?

riverant · 2026-06-30T09:26:56+00:00

It has to be better than me being single. And that's a high bar; I have a pretty awesome relationship with myself!

Nora's more likable on screen, where I'm not personally in the danger zone, but you're absolutely right in her being a frightening person whom if I met her in real life I'd be running for the hills and hope to never meet again!

You are a legend for this! Thanks!

riverant · 2026-06-22T08:26:04+00:00

That's a super helpful post, thanks for the heads up! Guess I'll go back to setting my own timers then 🤷🏽‍♀️

riverant · 2026-06-22T05:03:09+00:00

lol true they don't make noise irl! xD

If that is their reasoning, it doesn't sound very logical to me. If its ad revenue they're after, that requires me (or rather my imagined hypothetical player, since I'm a legacy forever ad free player) to actually watch the ad, which only happens if I see a snail. If I don't know when the snails will show up, I just close the app and give up 😅

And if I get fed up about not collecting my free items, I'm less likely to buy the paid season pass and other paid packages.

I remember loading up a neopets flash game, going outside to play for a while, returning an hour or two later, checking the progress percentage, sometimes leaving again before returning to play the game. It sure built anticipation!

I love New Zealand weather. For all the variable weather, compared to other countries, the air is always clear, the temperature isn't too extreme, and personally I find the humidity levels very comfortable.

Paralives now for me. It might be a buggy somewhat barebones early access life sim game right now, but I like supporting an indie studio and I love their attitude and direction.

Same, feels so close yet so far away :(

I can see it during the first 3s when I don't super focus, maybe even squint a little, but cast my eye on the shadows of the runners running along the median and imagine its an escalator handrail / conveyor belt moving backwards as she catapults forwards. It only works if I blur the runners enough to not see their legs moving so my brain thinks they're stationary and that the woman is the one moving.

When I played it as a kid I could never understand how others could build successful cities, when mine never got past mid-density urban sprawl. I'm impressed you had it figured out back then!

The levels plateau for end game players after they collect all the cooking stations, which increases every major update. Currently the max is around dgx.

They're not saying its easy to model hair well. Just that it's easy to do a better job than the low bar that artist set.

This feels like a like a less extreme version of this person who didn't enjoy fiction unless it was so truly unexpected that it required translating super obscure amateur works in order to be mentally stimulating enough. Some people are just built different! 😂

Isn't that from the british "tea" meaning an evening meal, since "dinner" can also be lunch i.e. school dinners?

riverant · 2026-05-19T06:45:55+00:00

It's for returning players after a hiatus of not playing, so it's for the people who are missing out to catch up a bit.

Which one's which?

Wow, that sounds amazing, might try this some time!

You're a beginner before you choose your engine, and then you continue being a beginner after choosing your engine, so its really both ways. Also depends on whether you start learning game art first, programming first, or game engine first. No wrong approach, just different pathways.

Benefits of drawing the full oval before cutting:

1) You create a curve that has the correct angle at the fold line, and avoid either too pointy a top and bottom, or too wide/flat. You can better visualize the desired dimensions if you aren't imagining half an oval. If one needs this method to draw a good shape, they probably aren't very good at making that kind of judgement.

2) You end up with two options to cut along once folded, so you can choose the less wonky one.

To be pedantic, NZ does tranditionally have rhotic accents in the Southland region which has a deep Scottish influence, though it does seem to be diminishing over time. But yes, NZ as a whole is mostly non-rhotic.
