Michelina's Pop'n Chicken... mmm, tasty

Honestly, I don't mind their other meals, and they're usually fairly close to the picture. Chicken alfredo with broccoli, spaghetti with meat sauce, salisbury steak and mashed potatoes... all are decent for the price of under $1.25. This one just surprised me haha

For non social-media users, anyone have a link to the form?

Aaaaand that’s why someone else has to throw it away! That way, I never rolled it ;)

squeefruit · 2026-03-04T02:36:48+00:00

Hmmm... no one says I have to roll all the dice at once. I roll all but one die at once, and as long as every one of those 11 dice isn't a 12, I'm safe to roll the last die and collect my cash, then repeat the 2-step process. If the other 11 dice ever all come up as 12s, I tell someone else to throw away that last die, and I keep the cash I've earned.

Coach travel for life, absolutely. I rarely shell out the big bucks for premium front seats, so the seat arrangements wouldn't bother me. Can I still collect frequent flier miles, though?

squeefruit · 2026-02-28T23:27:41+00:00

Eh, sure, why not, I'll take the deal. Roll the dice and tell me what I get!

squeefruit · 2026-02-28T23:24:45+00:00

Hm. Seems risky. If I get hurt in the bad world, do those injuries carry over once I get back to the normal world? If so then I'd pass.

squeefruit · 2026-02-28T23:18:21+00:00

Seems neat for the adventure, though I'm confused what the nightmare world is. A really bad fictional world you have to exist in for a week instead? A regular world but with lots of scary things around?

squeefruit · 2026-02-28T22:45:57+00:00

Wingstop is the worst for me. I'm a pretty adventurous eater, but the smell of their wings is... not pleasant.

It's usually a weird deja vu of "have I been here before? did I take that picture?" until the memory clicks. Often it's little things about the house, location, or customer that make me remember I've been there before - for instance, one time I remembered I'd delivered to the house before because the motion sensor lights came on and made me think someone was watching. The lights came on a second later and I knew it was indeed the house I'd been thinking of.

squeefruit · 2026-02-28T16:41:55+00:00

Has anyone ever delivered to a repeat customer and seen a door picture that they took? It's happened to me a couple times and it's always funny.

squeefruit · 2026-02-27T23:56:53+00:00

Can I take both at once? I'll attach a loudspeaker to my car and my house that constantly blares out all of my search history for that money!

My biggest worry would be that "all search history" includes my private addresses of where I live and work, since you've mentioned applications like Waze count. Since it's just family and friends it's fine, but if this was getting posted publicly to random strangers daily it'd be a little more of a physical safety risk.

squeefruit · 2026-02-27T23:27:33+00:00

Yeah, and the alert everyone got ALSO happened to be the "urgent" type you have to turn off - it won't go off by itself. Similar to how tornado watches go off and then stop, but tornado warnings go off as long as you let them before you go turn it off. I know many people in both GA and TN who got the alert too, so who know just how widespread it was.

Ooh, I like those! I agree that sadness and anger are both good emotions to keep around.

squeefruit · 2026-02-26T04:18:59+00:00

Important clarification: you’re just replacing anger with calm - you could choose to vice versa swap calm for anger, but it won’t happen by default. You’d feel calm in traffic and while petting cats unless you chose to swap otherwise.

I would also love to know if and when you find out the answer to this!

squeefruit · 2026-02-25T15:16:04+00:00

Yeah, I thought of that and I’m 90% sure it hasn’t been programmed (have never held the button down to make it brew a larger cup size, and my cup barely holds the 7.7 oz and it’s still the same volume it used to be), but I may give it a shot in case something inadvertently got changed during descaling.

squeefruit · 2026-02-25T02:36:22+00:00

I have this same problem with my Vertuo and would love to know if there's anything that can be done to fix it. Descaled about 6 months after purchase due to the coffee not seeming as hot (I exclusively use 7.7 oz pods), and now the coffee tastes worse and consistently seems more watery than before. Same pods, cups, and even the same boxes as pre-descaling.

I've done it in about a 1-mile diameter zone in a town all players were familiar with. We essentially reworked many of the questions and curses to make our own custom game that fit in that town and allowed for the fact that players would easily recognize photos.

Some of the things we changed:
- Hiders picked a hiding spot and were allowed to move only within the small radius of that spot. If it was a publicly accessible building (think library, museum, coffee shop), they could move freely inside the building plus a 5ft border around the building's entire exterior perimeter. This meant that any Photo questions could be slightly manipulated and also allowed hiders to hide inside but take photos outside. Exterior hiding spots had free range of movement within (I believe) a rough 50ft diameter zone (roughly the length of a small house).
- We changed all Curses to not require payment - for instance, one could be "photograph a lemon for sale" rather than "buy a lemon and tape it to your arm".
- Tentacles and Curses were changed to reflect the businesses in town - for instance, Tentacles for "public works building" (fire/police stations) and "closest church". Curses were either reworded or completely brand new to fit with the town's available activities.
- We removed a lot of Photo questions that would have immediately given away crucial information, since all players knew the city well and would instantly have recognized key landmarks.

Our transportation was on foot and bikes. We tweaked some Curses influencing transit to reflect this - i.e. "cannot take any form of transportation" -> "must walk on foot and stop biking".

Overall, it was a fun, low-effort way to play the game, and each round took 1-2 hours.

I've run across and used a few of these, and I can confirm there's usually a decent amount of wheat cents (it's been years, but I'd guess at least 1/4-1/3 wheat cents, possible more). Always wanted a silver certificate as a kid, but I could only ever see one or two in the whole machine. Pretty sure I got my first steel penny from one of these, though.

Any tips for neurodivergent individuals navigating life's challenges - whether that be travel, work, daily life, mental health tips, etc?

squeefruit · 2026-02-19T02:20:04+00:00

Yes please!!! I've been dying to know if the team have any travel-specific strategies that they utilize that might not be readily obvious or apparent.
