You’re right! 3001: The Final Odyssey. I only have the first three so I didn’t realize there was a fourth. Thanks for mentioning it!

Oh wow, that’s awesome. I’ve been reading the 2001: A Space Odyssey trilogy, which centers around Jupiter and Europa, so this helps me visualize the moon! It’s way more cracked with streaks of red than I imagined.

I recommend Fantasticocks and DeepFantasies.

ReVanced has been working for me. I followed this guide since it’s not as straight forward as Vanced was. Sorry that it’s a reddit link :(

Some cutesy games that I found.

GBA:

• Disney’s Cinderella: Magical Dreams
• Disney’s Magical Quest 1, 2, and 3
• Disney’s The Little Mermaid: Magic in Two Kingdoms
• Disney Princess
• Disney Princess Royal Adventure
• My Little Pony Crystal Princess: The Runaway Rainbow
• a multitude of different Barbie games

MegaDrive:

• Ariel the Little Mermaid (I played this one as a kid, but I don’t remember much from it)

SNES:

• Barbie Vacation Adventure
• The Great Circus Mystery Starring Mickey and Minnie
• Kirby Super Star
• Kirby’s Dream Land 3
• The Wizard of Oz.

The Great Circus Mystery game was one of my favorites to play with my younger brother. It has an amazing 2 player mode where a second player can join at any time, which probably doesn’t help in this case, but it’s a great game to play together. Similar mechanics and style: The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse. These 2 games (and the third game) are also on the GBA and listed above as Disney’s Magical Quest 1, 2, and 3.

I’ve only personally played Ariel the Little Mermaid and Great Circus Mystery, all of the others I just now opened to get an idea of how they play to see if they’re cute. If many of these don’t fit the bill, I at least highly recommend the Magical Quest ones on either system. I hope this helps your search.

I learned that data was on the top side at a very young age. I put a sticker on top of a CD and a couple years later peeled it off and the image came off too. I tried to play the CD and realized my mistake. I think I was around 7. Luckily it was just kid’s Christmas songs and nothing important lol.

If you haven’t already, clean the dryer vent thoroughly, including the whole exhaust vent leading outside. This should be done at least once a year. Once the vent is clear it should speed up drying, if not it might be the dryer itself and the manual might have solutions.

Here are some guides: https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/how-to-clean-a-dryer-vent/ https://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/home-diy/projects/dryer-vent-cleaning.htm

Have you heard that ConcernedApe took a break from working on their new game to do one last big update for Stardew? Things like improvements for mod support, some more storyline dialogue, a new yearly festival/event, hats on cats/dogs!, seasonal clothing changes for NPCs, I think additional Joja content, and something else for Ginger Island. No release date confirmed yet, but CA can take as long as necessary to work on it, I’ll still be patiently and excitedly waiting!

Have you heard about the London mod coming out sometime next year? It’s massive and looks awesome! Can’t wait to try that!

Just filter out glass and LED in your search. There are plenty of plain black towers. They’re usually pretty cheap too, I think mine was $20.

Koffing and munchlax definitely pass as shiny:

I thought that was an ADHD trait… or is this one of those symptoms that can be true for both?

But this explains why my partner will play the same game all day and nothing else, even though she has plans to work on projects and stuff.

Don’t forget about her surrealist second channel “vihartvihart”! I think there’s been a couple of new posts there as well.

Wow, it must have just changed over! Earlier it was teal, and now it’s green.

In the app or desktop site? On the app it’s been that way for a while, like a seafoam green, no idea how long it’s been that color. The desktop site looks dark green right now, that’s new. Probably for the holidays.

I’m not autistic (as far as I know) and I have always sat like that, but I put my other foot on top of the sideways one. I switch feet when it hurts, but favor the right as the sideways foot.

On the other hand, if you do want to type like that on a phone, double-tap the caps button and it stays capitalized. (I don’t know if this works on all phones).

This is one of those games that I started playing and put down and went back to and played through entirely. I really wanted to play it because I loved The Stupendium’s song “The Fine Print”. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and medicated, I didn’t think this would effect how I play games, but it allowed me to stay focused on the game and actually play it all the way through. I was able to thoroughly explore the game without getting distracted by picking up items, getting lost, forgetting the plot or quest line.

My favorite things about the game were the silly jingles and overall style of everything. The slogans and stylized art really made it feel retro-futuristic and dystopian. Everyone knows the companies are bad, but it’s all they have, so they have to put on a smile and deal with it. The choices you face make you think about the consequences (what’s right vs corporate greed, mostly). In my play-through I tried to do all of the “right” choices and stay on everyone’s good side, be the “hero”. I did every side quest and companion story line, so it took a while to complete, but it was nice to completely finish a game for once. The next time I play, I think I’ll do a more “evil” approach to see more story lines. I really enjoyed all the mementos and trinkets you collect for the ship, it was nice to read little snippets about them and the companions. I really think it was the little things about the game that I enjoyed the most. Fighting enemies wasn’t hard, especially with companions. I didn’t use their special abilities, (I don’t think I knew how to) so I missed out on the small comment scenes you mentioned.

Unfortunately, I played it on PS4, so the worst thing was load times. Every loading screen took forever. The further into the game, the longer they took. At one point the game crashed and I had to re-download to get it to work again, luckily this didn’t effect the save game. But it happened a couple of times, which was worrying. Hopefully I can get the PC version for my next play-through. I played on easy mode because I’m horrible at FPS and I have to say, the amount of ammo you’re given is excessive, even for easy mode. I had thousands of rounds of ammo for all ammo types. I don’t think I reached the storage limit, but it was close.

Great review, you summed up the story line and game style very eloquently! I agree that many quests were tedious fetch-quests, this was very annoying and obvious playing on PS4 with the load screens. I didn’t realize it was advertised as a follow up to New Vegas, but I had heard that it was made by some of the people that worked on it, which you point out is not exactly the case. Regardless, they did a wonderful job on this game and while it’s not perfect, it is a great story that I enjoyed! Coincidentally enough, I started New Vegas last night and expect to enjoy it as much as this game, if not more. I’d always heard amazing things about it, but never got around to playing.

I’ve never used an app to track, but as a teen my periods were so inconsistent that they would probably think I was pregnant and miscarrying every 3 months. There were times I didn’t bleed for 3 months then bled for 2, for years. This led me to starting birth control years before I ever had sex for the first time. I definitely would have been on some watchlist if that took place today.

Luckily, after years of trying to stop birth control (and going right back into that weird bleeding cycle every time! >:[ wtf body) my new doctor agreed to do a hysterectomy! It was just recently done, so I’m still recovering, but I’m so fucking happy I never have to deal with periods and bc pills ever again!

Sorry for the novel lol

For cupcakes, unwrap, rip off the bottom and place it on top of the icing. Cupcake sandwich. My mom saw me do this once and now she does it every time haha
