My phone is on silent 99% of the time, unless I’m expecting a call for something important. I miss most calls except for when I’m already looking at my phone, and honestly I rarely answer even if I see it. It works though. Most of it is spam. People close to me know I prefer texting.
My first thought was sourdough too, and making fermented foods in general. I wanted to get into making my own sourdough bread for a while, but every time I started researching I just gave up. A lot of recipes out there make it look so intimidating and honestly, most of the steps are just not necessary for a basic loaf. Been making simple bread in loaf pans for months now and loving it.
He is delightfully creepy… but that kind of describes the whole Majora’s Mask experience.
Great choice. I would suggest Majora’s Mask after!
Just started Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor. Enjoying it so far, about 15% in. I’ve been in a reading slump and DNF streak, and hoping this one might get me out of it.
That’s pretty neat. Did you name it?
Agree. No milk in my cereal either!
Totally agree. Towards the end of my time on reddit I barely interacted at all. Here I feel much more motivated to participate too.
API stuff and the general response to the community feedback and blackout. I used Apollo and wasn’t interested in switching to the ad-riddled official reddit app. Tried Kbin first and eventually found myself on lemmy. Liking it here.
Outer Wilds is one of my favorite games, but I can see a lot of ways it isn’t for everyone.
Try a controller if you can, like others have mentioned.
It took me a long time to get used to the space navigation/flying and towards the end of the game I still sometimes crashed horribly into things. I feel like it’s kind of just part of the experience and can make for some really funny moments. If you really want to experience it yourself, maybe spending some time just focusing on getting a good understanding of the ship controls without the pressure of trying to get any exploration done that round might be helpful. Autopilot isn’t the smartest, but it can be helpful.
Watching play throughs is something I love to do now, because it is the closest I’ll ever get to experiencing the game fully again. Watching a play through before playing it yourself will basically spoil the chance ever experiencing it firsthand yourself, but might be a good option if you really want to know the story and don’t find any joy in playing it.
Edit: few changes for clarity
Love the picture and love the book.
These are so much fun. The Christmas one is hilarious. I think the child’s crayon, prehistoric, Ukrainian, and Alien are my favorites.
No car/public transit was going to be my answer too. Sold my car about 9 years ago and switched to using the bus, carpool, or walking. At first it was a financial decision because I figured it would save me lots of money, and it did. I was surprised though how much more connected to the community I felt. I made friends and talked to people on my commute instead of sitting alone in the car. It also makes me feel more free to move around the city instead of just going from point A to point B and then home again.
Detroit style. The crispy corner pieces!
When I was a kid (like 11 or so) my whole family went from Chicago to Portland and then a week later got back on the train and went back. It took a couple days each way. My mom hates flying and she didn’t want to drive. I remember sleeping a lot on very uncomfortable seats. Met lots of random people. There weren’t many other kids, so I befriended a lot of elderly people.
It was definitely an experience, but I’m kind of glad I was so young. I don’t know if I would want to sit for so long now. If I were to do it as an adult, I’d probably plan to stop a place or two along the way just to break up the trip.
Oh that’s adorable. I might try this one on my dog.
Somehow “Okay” has become the command to ask my dog to get off my lap so I can stand up. I’m not sure how it started or why.
Breath of The Wild for me. The open world and exploration just blew me away. I wanted to just spend as much time as possible exploring that version of Hyrule.
Second is Majora’s Mask. It was so different than all the Zelda games before it and really dark. I loved the time element and really getting to know all the different npc characters.
Fallout 4. Playing for the first time, and have done everything except for the main questline and DLCs. I started losing interest in playing, but I want to eventually get through the main story. Taking a break and playing some Rimworld before returning to the wasteland.
