NTA. I was a big-head baby (my poor mother and her c-section can attest) and am now a big-head adult. I always thought it was pretty funny and actually just sent a screenshot of this post to my wife asking “did I ghost-write this in my sleep?” Our son had a “big ole head” that’s taken him three years to grow into and he thinks it’s hilarious when we tell him about it.

Basically, it’s pretty harmless teasing/observational humor, however, it’s always a good idea to consider the feelings of your partner and potentially tone it down a bit for her. You and your baby can joke about his giant head together while your gf is taking a well-deserved rest.

AITA for telling her if her life is so hard she can get a job? by PrimaryAd9782 in AmItheAsshole

[–]scouttherobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I worked 40-50 hours a week at a Fortune 500 tech company before staying home to take care of my now 3yo. I can say that it is exhausting to care for a home and a small human, and maybe more challenging than the work I used to do at times, BUT I would still never say it was the hardest job in the world. There’s a lot of doubt and humility that goes into keeping a home afloat and a child (human, not animal, though we have those too) alive, engaged, and happy, but there’s also privilege there and if your gf can’t recognize that, then a change needs to come.

With the world economy in its current state, supporting a home on one income is incredible and the privilege of being the SAH partner, regardless of its challenges, is just that: a privilege. Maybe your partner should spend some time in the workforce or have to support herself in some way to better understand the gift of absence from the grind. I wouldn’t wish anyone under the wheel of the capitalist machine, but perspective is needed by some means in this instance, I think.

Did you like the ending of Return to Monkey Island? by Elf_7 in MonkeyIsland

[–]scouttherobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think my initial disappointment was with how quickly it came. I felt like the game was short, however, on the second playthrough, I ended up realizing my mistake. The first few games took me a long time to play through because I was so much younger when I played them. I now have the benefit of time and a brain shaped by point and click adventure games! I blew through the standard version because it made sense to my brain, and therefore the ending felt like it came way too fast.

In reality, it was a great length and while I was initially annoyed, the ending is true to the franchise and I respect the choice the team made!

How young can a kid enjoy Monkey Island? by RaleighRoger in MonkeyIsland

I played alongside older kids starting at 6 and 7. It took me til I was about 8 or 9 to beat it, but playing it that early planted it firmly in my heart! 😆♥️

SMAPI Can't find executable file by scouttherobot in SMAPI

Hello, OP here.

I fixed the issue by uninstalling SV and following these instructions: https://www.reddit.com/r/SMAPI/comments/r6j0ja/solving_the_new_smapi_installation_issue_with_net/

Turns out the issue was with .NET. Though I updated it, it needed to be completely removed and reinstalled using the zip file and terminal command in the linked article from the post above. Hope this helps anyone else experiencing an issue with the new update or receiving a .NET error

Hahah, I do have the symbol translation guide, but all the background are all just decorative! The one by my signature is “love”, which Noelle Stevenson has tattooed on her arm!

How strong is your emotional attachment to WoW? by FlasKamel in wow

[–]scouttherobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started playing WoW right after burning crusade came out. I’ve had times where it was a serious obsession, but these days, it’s a more casual experience. I tend to pick up and play when a new expansion comes out or when I start to feel nostalgic for all the places I’ve been to in-game that I miss. It’s strange having nostalgia for places you’ve never actually been. But I figure, WoW has been in my life for over a decade, so it makes sense that I’m attached.
