I seem to be the only one in my Zoom meeting. In five minutes, I'm taking off my shirt. -- nm - Ba Baron Ron Ron Mar 27, 07:03 1
- Are these two statements related? -- nm - David Mar 27, 07:04
Hmmm...what does it take for the full resident services to open? - Turd Ferguson Mar 27, 06:56 5
- I mean, I get the frustration. Especially for never-before players. You can make items and drop them for others. There are some DIY cards for sale... - Qale Mar 27, 07:07 1
  - I just don't recall City Folk being like this. I don't recall one player getting all the perks while the others get to be "helpers" - Turd Ferguson Mar 27, 07:12
- If I can help you with materials or other stuff, let me know. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 27, 07:00
- This was supposed to be down below. i need a nap already -- nm - Turd Ferguson Mar 27, 06:58 1

Heh. Walmart seeing a rise in sales of tops (shirts, etc.) but not bottoms -- (link) - oblique Mar 27, 06:45 22

  - Ooooh myyy. -- nm - George Takei Mar 27, 06:58
- Who buys their clothes at Wal-Mart?!? -- nm - Krusty Mar 27, 06:49 18
  - Why would I buy an identical graphic tee somewhere else for double/triple the price? - Shaun Mar 27, 06:56 12
    - this. we buy our all Disney shirts from Walmart in Orlandi for a fraction of the cost at the Parks -- nm - Beaker Mar 27, 07:09
    - If you're a big fan of graphic tees you have to check out Uniqlo. Go a size up as they're a Japanese brand so I find things run a little small. - Krusty Mar 27, 07:08 8
      - Also, crazy cheap! Like $15 or less for tees -- nm - Krusty Mar 27, 07:09 7
        
        Pfft. Disney T's: 3 for $9.99! -- nm - Walmart World Mar 27, 07:11 6
        
        Yeesh, Disney tees. :-( - Krusty Mar 27, 07:13
        
        Yeah, I don't shop at Walmart but I think you're missing just how price conscious people are on this. -- nm - Reagen Mar 27, 07:12 4
        
        Clearly. - Krusty Mar 27, 07:14 3
        
        Your attitude toward this topic is pretty dogshit. - Shaun Mar 27, 07:18 2
        
        I don't have a credit card. Do you think I'm rich? I walk dogs for a living! Uniqlo is all over the US. They have stores in a lot of places. - Krusty Mar 27, 07:21
        
        eh, dial that back a titch. -- nm - Reagen Mar 27, 07:21
    - But everyone does have the internet. - Krusty Mar 27, 06:58 1
      - On the lower end of nice looking clothes there's Uniqlo. They have great sales all the time and you can get work clothes, going out clothes and tees - Krusty Mar 27, 07:00
  - Some places that's the only reasonable retailer. -- nm - Reagen Mar 27, 06:51 4
    - Do they not have the internet? - Krusty Mar 27, 06:56 3
      - I gave up long ago looking well dressed. - JaxSean Mar 27, 07:08 1
        
        I don't care what others think as much as how good I feel when I look good. When I put on some nice clothes and shoes I feel more alive and happy to - Krusty Mar 27, 07:12
      - Marshall's and the like are a much better option. -- nm - Krusty Mar 27, 07:02

  - transportation, storage and refining. -- nm* - Reagen Mar 27, 07:09
- Do you have any idea how expensive monkeys are, or how many it takes to fill a barrel? -- nm - mafic Mar 27, 07:01
Repost: Who’s up for an online game night tonight? I’ll use Zoom and the Jack Game Party Pack. I’m looking at 8 PM Eastern / 5 PM Pacific. -- nm - Mop Mar 27, 06:40 9

  - easy enough to get on your personal computer. Took me maybe a minute or two -- nm - ty97 Mar 27, 06:53 1
    - Technically, you can run it in the browser. But yeah, I’ll give everyone a link. It’s a small and easy download. -- nm - Mop Mar 27, 07:06

  - Too early in the morning for you? -- nm - Krusty Mar 27, 06:51 2

      - I figured. :-( It's really hard to coordinate things with the 12 hour difference -- nm - Krusty Mar 27, 07:03

  - I didn’t want to make it too late on the East Coast since we’re all old. But maybe 9 PM Eastern is better. -- nm - Mop Mar 27, 07:07

      - Now THAT sucked. I hate when my teams blow leads. -- nm - David Mar 27, 07:08 1
        
        Smoltz was so good in his start though the ump was giving the pitchers a good 6" off the corners. It was so bad I was yelling at the TV. -- nm - Krusty Mar 27, 07:18
    - you're so sad. -- nm - Diva Mar 27, 07:01 3
      - About my team's Super Bowl triumph? NEVER! - David Mar 27, 07:04 2
        
        But since they LOST THE GAME after leading by so much...(ha!) -- nm - Diva Mar 27, 07:15 1

Ok, yo, Animal Crossing help. So, apparently when multiple people play the same island, only 1 gets the major tasks. - Turd Ferguson Mar 27, 05:44 8

  - Which we knew about at E3 last year and is also how New Leaf worked on the 3DS. -- nm - Qale Mar 27, 06:16 3
    - That's just stupid, no other game works that way. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 27, 06:22 2
      - I don’t understand how player 2 could do the set up of the island. It only needs to be done once. If you mean they should have their own island... - Qale Mar 27, 06:32 1
        
        I think it would be ok if all of us could have contributed toward getting the resources for the Nook's Cranny. - Turd Ferguson Mar 27, 06:52
