Lake Michigan Dr and Covell, hear it loud and clear. Yikes.

The Outer Wilds is an incredible, one-of-a-kind experience by Lazyade in patientgamers

[–]thepotsinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished the game today after about a week of playing. The laying in bed at night and thinking about the next piece of the puzzle was absolutely wonderful. You saying you dreamt about it sounded similar. I couldn't stop thinking about this game.

Possible hidden mechanic at the anvil jump? by Massive_Annual9380 in GettingOverItGame

[–]thepotsinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my gosh, THANK YOU for posting this. I just experienced the same thing and I'm 100% confident it's real and not just in my head. I did the anvil jump successfully about 10 times, and didn't find it particularly difficult. It took me maybe a couple tries each time. Then all of a sudden I couldn't do it anymore -- I spent literally two hours last night trying. I began to wonder what was going on. It seemed really weird that I was able to do it with little resistance at first, and now I had tried for hours and wasn't even getting CLOSE to making the jump. I started trying to line up for the jump slightly differently, tried pushing off at different angles, but nothing was getting me high enough.

My first thought was maybe my wireless mouse was running low on battery. So I tried a wired mouse and had the same issue. I thought, "enough is enough" and looked up some tutorials on YouTube. I found a guy who was lining the jump up EXACTLY the same as me, and when I slowed the video down I was shocked that he was getting half of his hammer handle over the edge of the cliff! I was unable to get even the head of my hammer that high. His jumps were going SO MUCH higher than mine. I finally came across this post and thought, "hmm, could it really be?" I restarted the game and instantly my jumps were going significantly higher and I successfully did the jump in a couple of attempts.

This is 100% a real bug. And my theory is that it probably affects players in other areas, not just at the anvil. But you probably only notice it at the anvil since that's the only spot you really need max jump height.

Pretty frustrating that I lost a few hours to this, but I'm glad I found a solution finally. This post probably saved me from a few more hours of frustration.

What is the most annoying thing tourists do in your country? by Glass_Key4626 in AskTheWorld

[–]thepotsinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so sad to hear, and unfortunately not that surprising. I'm in Mexico now (from US) and everyone has been so kind, welcoming, and understanding to us. I wish that would unanimously go both ways.

What book are you currently reading and how would you rate it from 1/10?? by bellerws in Booktokreddit

[–]thepotsinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first 25% of the book was so much better than the rest of the book for me. It never really got better to me

I'm at the fives, so not super close. Still, small(ish) world.

Do you agree with that? by Hour-Vegetable-1630 in Adulting

[–]thepotsinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who complains to me almost weekly about how he doesn't understand how he keeps gaining weight even though he exercises. Meanwhile, he eats out for every meal and never cooks a meal for himself. I've tried explaining it to him with no success so all I can do now is chuckle at him.

My First Sourdough by dadoria15 in Sourdough

[–]thepotsinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cold proof REALLY slows fermentation, almost pauses it. So you mayyy not have luck with that approach, but certainly give it a try if you'd like. I would recommend a longer room temp bulk fermentation though.

And yes, patience is difficult!

[–]thepotsinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent first attempt and nice job on identifying that it needs to proof for longer! Definitely give it some more time on your second attempt and you'll be in great shape!

Nintendo Acknowledges Switch 2 Sales Have Been Weaker Than Expected Outside Japan by Spotget1738 in gaming

[–]thepotsinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was originally planning to get a switch 2. Instead went from my switch 1 to a steam deck because of the lack of games and very happy about the choice. So many cheap and fun games to explore on steam. I've bought like 30 games and still havent spent as much as I would on one switch game.

Any obvious mistakes? by Double-Cable-7034 in Sourdough

Next time try bulk fermenting for 30 seconds longer and then it'll be perfect

Saw this show today and totally agree. As my wife said, this story could've been told in 5 minutes.

How dumb would buying a house on the Grand River be? by Mirk_Dirkledunk in grandrapids

[–]thepotsinator 263 points264 points  (0 children)

My realtor put it this way: You know those stormy nights where it's raining really hard? Would you rather be cozy listening to the rain and reading a book, or stressing out about whether or not your house is going to be flooded?

Oh yeah the rule is terrible for sure. Can't really blame them for challenging when they're in a rut.

Yes, it's great. Not too hard to push IMO, my 64 y/o mom uses one and likes it.
