we're on day one with my 23 month old, so i don't have any sage wisdom about it really. but i'll go over what we're doing, since it's not a disaster (yet)

• we prepared well in advance, read the book twice (oh crap potty training)
• it's a stern, cold turkey, end to diapers. we explained what we're doing in plain language and did our best to speak with confidence and directness and emphasize that we're here to help. we're doing night training at the same time as day training in hopes it will not show weakness in our approach
• we bought a mini pot for each floor of the house so there's always one sorta nearby + a seat for the big toilet (he hasn't used it yet but he knows what it's for). introduce the kid to it early if you want but make sure they know it isn't a toy, it's only for serious business
• i think it's important to not wait to long, the book said 30 months(?) was too long - they'll start to have discovered power manipulation at that age i guess, and make it difficult. at my kid's age he's still really eager to impress us and not play games about it too much

i'm certain it's not open to the public. it's used in emergencies

how old was Elijah?

i'm here for it! i want a future with mushroom batteries

does it seem really odd that Dell would be selling the laptop bundled with Ubuntu as a "recommended" option?

in early 2009 it would have been windows vista, i think? so maybe that's the problem

yes, i've played it on linux. runs exactly as you'd expect

so sad to hear about this

started a play-through a few months back

did year 1 very efficiently, almost got community center within a year (got it spring 1 of year 2)

then the update came out for switch so i've been enjoying all the new content - haven't been to endgame since 2019 so there was a lot i haven't seen

i'm on year 4 now, working on perfection. i have almost all the requirements, just need another 4 million to buy the clock

i suppose so. i would call that a mute button then

just curious why do you refer to it as the notification button?

concerned ape has recommended players start a new save for 1.6

i think it was a good change. the whole process has taught me that henry dundas sounds like a prick.
