Kids are never old enough to go on a multi-day trip with family. Yes, even if those kids are well into their thirties. Embrace leaving kids behind.

the worst part is that he has suddenly developed an immense anxiety about public toilets. every time we have to use the restroom he flips out because he’s afraid that the flush is going to be loud. once i tried letting him wait outside the stall while i closed the door and flushed it and he tried to run away. we’ve had to cut several outings short because he wouldn’t use the toilet and then peed himself. i also had a mental health crisis yesterday where i just cried in the bathroom for an hour and my wife had to tell me that i’m not a failure of a family man. not exactly a hall of fame vacation.The Black Stones posted:Kids are never old enough to go on a multi-day trip with family.

You’re a good dad and a good family for wanting to share your anniversary with your son. Kids are just difficult sometimes especially as toddlers, I’ve seen like a half dozen kids around that age (lots of cousins) just have those same kinds of issues out nowhere. Regardless, congratulations! Sorry the celebration wasn’t ideal man

Zaphod42 posted:So I'm sure it makes as much sense as anything else if you're a fan, and especially if you follow the series as they come out, but as an outsider I do find that whole universe to be pretty inscrutable SMT is a JRPG series where aside from the main character all of your party members (almost) exclusively consist of recruitable monsters that you can mash together to make better monsters. Persona is one of several spinoff series, but SMT fans like to pretend they’re unrelated because they’re ornery over the fact that it has long since eclipsed the main series in popularity

Chat of the Steampatio reminded me I have a steam link I got when they were giving them away for $2 and a steam controller I got when they sold for... $5 I think, and I've never touched either of them. Well, I vaguely remember spending like 5 minutes with the controller trying to make it work the way I thought it should and getting mad when it didn't. Maybe I should dig them out of my Ye Olde Electronics Graveyarde bins and give them a try. Not in any belief that they're going to be good or useful, just that I paid a small amount of money for them I should use them sometime.

i bought a steam link for $5 so i could wirelessly mirror my mac’s display to my tv. turns out steam link mac support was broken and had been for some time because the necessary audio driver wouldn’t install correctly. it remained unfixed at the time i retired my mac and something tells me valve hasn't started caring more about the mac in the intervening years

Looper posted:honestly the fear of making too much noise in a public toilet is extremely relatable It’s probably more about the noise the toilet itself makes. Public bathroom toilets can sometimes be crazy loud when you flush them, and it’s not like bathrooms take kids into account in their acoustic design anyway.

I remember my mother invited us down to Myrtle Beach one year when my kid was about 5. 2 adults and a toddler and a ton of luggage in a 5 speed Mazda doesn't make for a fun 8 hour drive. One of the worst vacations ever.

honestly I guess taking a dump on one of those damned auto-flush toilets in an airport fills me with anxiety as well oh you leaned forward 5 cm to wipe your rear end I see here let me just splash your crotch/crack as well as maybe the luggage you crammed into the stall with a violent cyclone of poo poo and piss before your flight

Monkey Fracas posted:honestly I guess taking a dump on one of those damned auto-flush toilets in an airport fills me with anxiety as well even worse, they never ever have bidets so you have to wipe your rear end with your hands and dry paper as if civilization was just invented and then when youre trying to wash the sin off your hands you see all the other people who aint wash their hands after digging around their lovely buttholes with their hands and you gotta hang around and touch the stuff these people are touching blegh Khanstant fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Jul 16, 2021 |

I played lots of Hatsune Miku/DJ Max on my PSP but I guess there's more recent versions of those available on other consoles There's also the Patapons/Half Minute Hero/Valkyria Chronicles 2/3 which I liked at the time but most people don't seem to be into them/Dissidia I always wondered what those PSP GTA games were like but never got around to buying them

vita was a pita to break and sony were v persistent in closing things back up but the last firmware update was 2 years ago now so theyre not getting rid of exploits anymore so it doesnt matter.

the vita fuckin rules hacking it is mandatory, you need an SD2Vita because the memory cards are proprietary, expensive and failure-prone. don't get a psp unless you can't find a vita or it's really cheap. the vita is a better psp in every way.

SMT is actually an interesting novelty because, while the first one came out after dragon quest, it was only just barely after. Rather than being derived from DQ, it's derived from the same games DQ is derived from, wizardry and ultima and the like. So the mainline SMT series is like a little peek into a world of what JRPGs might have been if dragon quest hadn't been so overwhelmingly popular that it became the touchstone genre definer.

Rinkles posted:Do you guys and gals look up stat optimization in these games? I was always off put by having to make permanent build decisions without having enough context. I try my best to avoid that in any game. Games where you can create a build that SHOULD work well but doesn't are probably bad. I also really like game with free or low-cost respec. Especially the free ones, allowing you to change your build depending on the task you are about to undertake adds a whole new layer of strategy. cheetah7071 posted:A well-designed game with those kind of irrevocable build decisions will make you feel powerful no matter what you do so you never even think you're doing anything wrong even if you have the worst build Yeah, that Walla posted:I remember my mother invited us down to Myrtle Beach one year when my kid was about 5. 2 adults and a toddler and a ton of luggage in a 5 speed Mazda doesn't make for a fun 8 hour drive. One of the worst vacations ever. When I was a kid I had a bad habit of becoming ill on family trips, usually due to outer ear infections, which I am prone to, and which were caused by too much swimming in hotel pools. In Mexico one time I got an ear infection so bad I had to go to the hospital because the swelling was pushing on my brain and could've legitimately killed me, and a similar though less serious thing happened on an east coast trip. On another family trip my brother got the stomach flu and spent the whole time, including while we were driving, throwing up nonstop. And another time my sister got poison oak all over her face and refused to leave her room the entire trip lol Despite that I still remember them fondly for the most part.

Monkey Fracas posted:kids are extremely weird, emotionally/physically fragile little things and it's not your fault One time my wife and I were going out to eat with my sister-in-law at some Italian restaurant and her 8-year old son ordered pizza. Being a restaurant, they served it like a personal pizza instead of as a single slice and he was INCONSOLABLE about it, refusing to eat it and throwing a tantrum because it wasn't shaped like a triangle (even though it was very clearly cut into triangular slices). I feel like most fiction really fails to capture the utter irrationality and weirdness of children.

On the plus side, if your kids are still peeing themselves and throwing tantrums over pizza into adulthood, then they have a loving and accepting community of like minded people here on Somethingawful.

I hate wasting water too so that upset me more than the noise. I actually started putting a piece of TP over the sensor so it'd stop.
