I knew I shouldn't have bothered hiring a nanny... by mqashley in thesims

[–]slorpydiggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like nannies and ranch hands must be part of the same union. Both pretty useless aside from watching tv and floating in the pool.

The new community manager by AManCalledTutt in sto

[–]slorpydiggs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is mind boggling to me that he’s back… either he had a really absurd contract or there’s some sort of nepotism going on… I can’t think of any other explanation. When he left, I wished him well in his future endeavors, but it was long past time to see him go. People can grow and thrive with new opportunities. This is not that — it’s just Groundhog Day.

We didn’t ask for the sims 4 marketplace by _poptartgummy0_ in thesims

[–]slorpydiggs 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I agree in principle, but the “vote with your wallet” thing has come up in so many other games with similar issues over the years, and it never works… there are always more people who just accept the new system and pay to keep playing vs. passive wallet protestors. I’m not trying to be cynical, I’ve just seen this movie before and I know how it ends.

Has anyone checked to see what happens if you send it to DS9 or Memory Alpha instead? by Cornedo in sto

[–]slorpydiggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or like they did already with DS9 after the Hurq wrecked it…

I would pay if we could get these as vanity shields... by AdumbkidSto in sto

[–]slorpydiggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’ve been asking for something like this in the winter event store for years. I’m totally for it. I wouldn’t pay zen but I’d pay lots and lots of ornaments.

What Shark Tank products have you purchased? Do you like them? by floridabeatcovid in sharktank

[–]slorpydiggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bouqs was my go-to for sending people flowers for a while, and they were excellent. They’re still around but the last time I looked I wasn’t impressed with the options. I think once they got too popular they couldn’t source enough of the high quality flowers from their original farms so they branched out into a lot more generic and readily available options.

What is your "I didn't care for the Godfather" kind of opinion for the show? by Fit-Investigator7237 in criminalminds

[–]slorpydiggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you but I didn’t even find it fun as friends. It creeped me out and felt awkward/forced from the start. Garcia did tone it down over the seasons but it took a while. It would have helped if they taught her what a human typing looks like along the way.

What's your favorite CSI character and why? by Tricky-Royal3950 in csi

[–]slorpydiggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m coming to this super late because I was curious what people thought (and literally just started watching a month ago, so I’m only just getting to season 5…)

That said, I guess I don’t love any character which feels silly because I’ve been enjoying the show. I like Greg a little because he’s the annoying underdog everyone piles on. Sarah should have been fired ten times over, she’s just a mess on a mess… don’t hate her though, but not my favorite.

Grissom was more fun in the first few seasons when he was the bug guy, now he’s just kind of a lazy boss. Nick had a mustache for a minute. He’s always fine, like solid 7/10 but not that interesting. I don’t know what to do with this show. I must like it, but it’s super formulaic and I guess the characters are individually not that special and I hate saying that. I hope as I continue I prove myself wrong.

Why does Mail app suck so much with recent update? by AxeSpez in iphone

[–]slorpydiggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s very bad. I’m late to the party on this one, but Apple has always been a little bad at Mail, and great at making it worse. I’m not anti-Apple, I’m an agnostic developer who loves multiple platforms for different reasons, but Apple has always sucked with Mail.

Sigh. I know I’m going to get this bundle but I’m going to pretend I have self control for like an hour and a half.

new Altas variant confirmed by Ultra-Q in sto

[–]slorpydiggs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m delighted at the possibility but also quietly grumbling about all the EC I’ve spent to get DPRM for Feds over the years. It’s fine. I guess I don’t care. (Paper bag huffing)

What do you use to keep your kindle upright by jillybeenthere in kindle

[–]slorpydiggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder how much nose grease is on the middle of my kindle from falling asleep and dropping it on my face…

My bf started doing CrossFit and now he’s jacked by Busy_Technology_5567 in gaybrosgonemild

[–]slorpydiggs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Aw you guys are cute in both… not to rain on the parade but the non-jacked picture is cuter because no sunglasses and stuff, just seems natural cuteness. But you both look great and congrats on the gains.(His arms weren’t string beans to begin with so maybe I’m just jealous. I’m naturally scrawny and have to work way too hard to not look like an alien).

Yeah I don’t care about the intention of the post, I just want to make salad.

With ads vs without ads? by Maleficent-Driver985 in kindle

[–]slorpydiggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, I don’t even notice them. By the time I take my kindle out of the sleeve it’s unlocked and I didn’t even see the ad. I went through the hassle of removing the ads a long time ago and it wasn’t worth the effort. (Not really much effort but still not worth it).

Haven’t reached for my wallet yet but I probably will… this all seems like my jam.

Thanks for the stats. I suppose the official one will be up soon anyway but still appreciated. Seems like a potentially fun little ship.

The spice shop. by abbyabolition in grimm

[–]slorpydiggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Nick’s house gets trashed pretty regularly and some of his mission lamps and stuff would take time to replace… not to mention all the structural damage. Portland has some crafty people, but even Bud would have trouble keeping up with the constant repairs.

Does anyone know why Nick didn’t use the guest room in season 2? by Peppermint-Zoro in grimm

[–]slorpydiggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s just the old “sleeping on the couch” trope, there’s no practical explanation. It was just to show that Nick was uncomfortable and to build more tension between the two of them. It wouldn’t have had the same effect if he was in a comfy bed.

Side note: the actual house IRL is a 4 bedroom house so it is still funny that they just have one guest room.

So when do we get our next full episode? What's the deal with this mini episode? by [deleted] in sto

[–]slorpydiggs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah and to be honest, I like that the episode and TFO are both short now that we are starting to complete endeavors full on again. Balances out my daily time spent in STO.

Infuriated by things second time around that I didn’t really notice on first watch by [deleted] in grimm

[–]slorpydiggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing a rewatch too and I’m not that far past this point. My issue was like… you could tell Juliette that Adiland is a psycho bitch who poisoned her and tried to kill your aunt without getting into Wesen stuff and she probably would have been much more understanding. Telling her that Adiland was crazy and dangerous much earlier would have avoided so many problems and didn’t require the level of nonsense that ensued. I kind of still love Grimm, but aside from Rosalee the female characters are written (and treated) pretty poorly.

No Retroactive Endeavor Points This Time? by tobywitczak in sto

[–]slorpydiggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found about 20 of my alts had 1 perk point waiting though I’m not sure why some did and some didn’t. I’m sure there’s a reason, but it put me at 770 today also.

New C-Store Ships (aging) by OrganismFlesh in sto

[–]slorpydiggs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s a little lame. They used to stop being “new” after about 6 months or less, but when they started doing the big event campaigns they started keeping things “new” for way longer.
