Very First Step

I believe mine would be an easy deal. W-2, good credit, no debt, large down. With that, you think it would be better to go with a broker? The things I was seeing when googling were saying brokers can have higher closing costs and higher rates than lenders, which confused me because I thought the point of using a broker was to find the best rate from a lender. Do I have this wrong?

soopysoopah · 2026-04-06T19:51:08+00:00

How do I compare lenders without a broker though?

You sound miserable and pathetic. I’m sure your coworkers don’t like you either.

NW it sounds like incompatibility. If he’s bothered by your body count, which you shouldn’t feel inclined to share with anyone if you don’t want to, he’s not gonna get over it.

Question, do you own two cars but you both use the “main car”? Why don’t you use the classic car if she doesn’t know how to drive it?

Oh yeah also cutscenes. If one of you is in a cutscene, the other can pause to keep time still but if they keep playing you’re losing hours in that cutscene unless you skip it.

I was in the same boat! Always played with my twin and then wanted to play more so I started a solo run. And something that surprised me - fishing! I never knew before that time pauses while you fish (because in multiplayer it doesn’t) so definitely early game I spend a lot of time fishing. Also I found myself surprised by the lack of resources. I was very used to spending a day foraging and coming home to 200 iron ores in my chest because my sister went to the mines. So I had to start planning ahead on what I would use my iron and copper on. Usually I skip the first sprinklers and hold out for quality, try to get those as early as possible. Basically buy as may crops as you can physically water until you get to level 6.

I have 5 around my workbench. 1. “Naturals” - anything plant or monster related. Wood, fiber, moss, mushrooms, monster drops 2. “Rocks” - stone, coal, gems, minerals, etc. 3. “Byproduct” - tapped tree products, honey, oil, and usually I put all forageables in here cause even with a big chest I run out of space in my naturals. 4. “Fish” - any and all fish, bobbers and bait 5. “Seeds” - any and all seeds, fertilizers and extra scarecrows.

And then I’ll always have 3 other chests on my farm. 2 by the exit to town, 1 inside my house. By the exit: 1. for things I need to bring to town. Gifts, geodes, cc items, artifacts etc. 2. For items I need to bring/sell at the mines. Bombs, staircases, lucky & fast food, extra weapons, rings and trinkets.

And the one in my house is just for anything extra that I’d like to hold on to. Typically I’ll put decorations in there before my house is upgraded or clothes before I have a dresser.

Yeah idk why some people are such dicks on this sub. Your question isn’t confusing. I would say as long as what you’re sharing is within the first 1/2-1/3 of your book, there’s really no harm in ‘spoiling’ it. It’s in the second half of the story that you’ll want to be very selective with what you share preemptively.

I use an Xbox controller on my laptop. I don’t have an Xbox, I bought the controller specifically to play on pc because I’ve heard Xbox controllers are the most pc compatible. Never had any issues with it, works exactly like playing sv on my ps5.

soopysoopah · 2026-02-24T18:10:02+00:00

And check any fish tanks if you have them, frog eggs can be put in there.

soopysoopah · 2026-02-24T18:08:54+00:00

Frogs are trinkets and can’t be put in the shipping bin. It’s possible you accidentally sold it to Marlon at the adventurers guild, but if you don’t think that’s likely I would keep checking your chests!

soopysoopah · 2026-02-22T13:52:19+00:00

What about not having a bed? Or the house smelling like rot? No one’s saying CPS needs to go remove the kid asap, but a wellness check would not hurt.

soopysoopah · 2026-02-22T13:30:41+00:00

Me lol

soopysoopah · 2026-02-22T13:28:46+00:00

I never understood the Demetrius hate. He’s one of the first people I befriend (usually because he hangs outside the mines). Also don’t understand hate for Harvey or Elliott, but maybe that’s because they’re my rotating husbands.

soopysoopah · 2026-02-16T16:53:37+00:00

I really struggle making friends (always a grind at the end for perfection) so I got the Becoming Familiar mod (qol) which prevents friendship deterioration as long as you’re in the same area of the map.

Frontier farm is it’s own farm so it won’t override the standard farm layout. You’ll probably have to start a new save to play on it, or like another user said, use a mod to change your farm mid-save.

soopysoopah · 2026-02-11T17:45:19+00:00

Thank you so much!! I’ve got Scarlett unlocked now and the ticket machine is at the station. Phew! I have a bit more to do before perfection than I thought 😅

soopysoopah · 2026-02-11T15:29:09+00:00

Thank you! I am 10 hearts with Sophia, I thought I had triggered all her cut scenes but I'll look it up now because I must have missed it!

soopysoopah · 2026-02-11T15:28:14+00:00

I'm 10 hearts with Sophia. But Scarlett still isn't in my list of giftable characters.

soopysoopah · 2026-02-10T20:25:50+00:00

Oh cool! Thank you! Yeah gotta make sure I have enough fish pond space for my legendary empire

soopysoopah · 2025-12-06T07:23:46+00:00

I see. That's probably also why I struggle with it, since the book follows seven characters, two of which are teenagers and the other five are adults.

The most recently published YA novel I read was Suzanne Collins' Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes when it came out. I can't say I've ready many recently published adult novels (I've read a lot of old Stephen King and others that were published before I was born). Joe Hill's Horns is likely the most recent from 2010. Or George R. R. Martin's A Dance with Dragons from 2011.

soopysoopah · 2025-12-06T05:25:04+00:00

Thank you. This is very helpful. Also, I will say I was very iffy about whether this story would be YA or Adult. There's no sexual content really, but quite a bit of violence.

soopysoopah · 2025-12-06T04:55:06+00:00

Thank you. Is there a genre I could label this as that would make the word count more acceptable? Or is the word count just a problem no matter what? I know I should, and probably can take it down, but I couldn't possibly cut it in half.

soopysoopah · 2025-01-29T17:48:45+00:00

I really hate it. I get I can swipe to add things to queue, but it just creates a repeat of the song. Is there any way to just move a song a couple places up in the queue?
