2024.05.16 19:57 West_Courage766 In a major book slump, rec me some uni/school/office dark romance with lots of non-con

I haven't read a book since February. I actually read 150 books in 10 months. But couldn't finish a single book recently.
I like noncon rapey mmc, controlling, gaslighting, he can even slap her.
Noncon atleast needs to be 3 times in the book tho.
Similar books I have read and liked.
{iichy by deathdoll}
{deviant king by rina kent}
{god of malice}
{untouchable by sam}
{surrender by sam}
{descent by sam}
{lords series by Shantel}
{corrupt idol by dinah harper} step-siblings romance. >! basically the whole book MMC noncons the fmc and the second book will not be out for about 2 years. !<
{torment by dylan page} step siblings romance mmc and his father are in mc >! the whole books is him gaslighting her!< major trigger: >! they don't end up together 😭!<
{royals of forsyth by angel lawson and samantha the}
{obsession by gemma weir} mmc is senior fmc is sophomore in high school. basically mmc is obsessed with her the moment he saw her in her freshman year but makes a move on her in sophomore. >! ge basically goes to the restaurant she worts at and announces she is his!<
{sinister kisses by zoe blake} this is full of gaslighting
{gaslight her by quinn blackbird} dystopian romance, the fmc is low class while mmc is high class and controlls the society. fmc is the nanny of mmc's half brother. she is studying in uni and she also wants to ruin the higher class. MMC is fully obsessed with her so he makes her get amnesia
{sordid by nikki sloane} mmc is already a graduate and fmc is still studying in uni she had a major crush on mmc when he was in uni. and they meet again in Halloween party and then mmc seduces or rapes the fmc and keeps her hostage so she didn't go to police. it has somewhat of bdsm
What I like: Hero not caring about Heroine opinions, Sweet Submissive Heroine but also reluctant,
What I don't like: Reverse Harem, fantasy, FMC being badass, Sweet hero, FMC not being reluctant, slow-burn, captive captor, human trafficking

2024.05.08 12:40 rhythm-emotion Recommendations for the best restaurants of the Metro! (Plus recommendations/non-recos for others visiting Manila in exchange)

Hellooooo,
So, since I'm returning to Manila for the next seven months — I wanted to try the absolute best restaurants in Manila. Any recommendations are welcome despite how cheap or how expensive it is.
I will also give a list of restaurants I recommend and don't recommend as well in exchange for your opinions. I'll also put what I'm searching for as well.
Fine Dining i've had in Manila
This one was special. Amazing food, good technical performance, and unique dishes that send you through a journey of a multitude of cuisines.
Though some of the dishes were lacking in certain aspects — the oyster cake I had was kinda (and sadly) a little bit malansa. No, I didn't get sick but the quality only really dipped that hard on that spot.
A solid 9/10 meal for sure. Good for visitors who wanna visit Manila and kinda want something a bit different.
Oh this was awhile back (2016, I was still 17) but this was so outstanding as well. I forgot exactly what I ate there but I still remember the flavors in my mouth for some reason.
I have similar opinions on this with Gallery except they didn't give me a disappointing dish like the Oyster Cake.
9.2/10 -- a slight cut above Gallery. Worth the drive to Tagaytay.
Japanese Food I've had in Manila:
Note: I've eaten a lot more than the restos listed here but some restos I haven't come back for a long time
Fish quality has gone down severely when in regards to their sushi. I heard from the great vine that their original Japanese fish supplier died of COVID. Last time I was in the Philippines was in October so I don't know if they got back on track.
But oh how the mighty has fallen because this was my favorite mid budget sushi restaurant for over ten years.
Won't give an official score on this one per se but I don't recommend coming here anymore.
Great Japanese restaurant for a mid range price in the Philippines. Okay, maybe what I consider mid range may be a lot for others but the food is great considering their fish quality.
Their salmon sashimi is VERY good. That I can say. I recommend ordering their spicy salmon (which is a non-traditional sushi/sashimi dish) because it's flavorful and super melts in your mouth.
The rest of their menu is traditional Japanese mostly. They have REALLY good hot soba though. Super delicious and the bowl is pretty big. You can (mostly) share it but the fatty inside me wants to eat it for myself.
A definite 8.7/10!
Sushi Shokunin (Quezon City)
The food is very good during the first time I went but the more I came, the more the portions started getting smaller for the same price I paid. I am happy that Chef Migs is getting celebrities at the resto. The staff is very nice as well
This goes into the not outstanding category but it's very very good. I do love their spicy salmon hand rolls.
Note: don't expect super traditional Japanese food at this one. It leans more into modern Japanese/fusion. However it's still very good! Worth a stop and my favorite sushi place in QC
8/10!!!!
Ramen Nagi (almost everywhere)
Yes, I know this is going to be my controversial opinion but holy sh*t I love Ramen Nagi.
I know there's many styles of Japanese ramen. Heck, certain prefectures even have things like Gyukotsu ramen which is beef broth (I eat this in Hawaii often) that's not even a super popular style.
Personally, while I prefer my ramen rich. I don't like it overly rich. I like flavorful with a nice broth that warms my tummy and tastes really good. I do love how you can customize your bowl also.
Yeah, it isn't the best stuff in the world but for something that has been spreading too many branches in the Philippines — they main quality throughout branches pretty well. And this is coming from me knowing big franchises often start taking doodoos in quality.
8.5/10 ain't the best ramen but it's tasty ASF
Yushoken/Mendokoro (many branches)
I'm sorry. Here's my controversial opinion that will probably get me downvotes.
I simply think Yushoken and Mendokoro is mid. Why? While their food is good — their broth is too rich. The consistency of their ramen reminds me of Yushoken and while the first three to five bites are good, it's so rich that medyo na umay na ako.
Their tsukemen ain't half bad though.
This is all down to personal opinion but this is definitely a mid ramen joint for me — 7.2/10
(Their fried rice is great though!)
I'd put more but I'm kinda getting sleepy so time for the next category.
Chinese Food:
I guess this place is just nostalgia for me so I like it! It's just great Chinese food. It's on the more expensive side for Chinese restaurants but it's HELLA good.
There are some flaws. Their food can be too salty on some nights but thats all.
8.4/10
Really good Chinese food. Great Peking duck. Almost the same level of enjoyability however the one time I went there, their fried rice was freaking wet.
Uncle Roger would complain if the fried rice was wet like that. The chef wouldn't get an "Uncle" title hahahahaha
7.9/10 for this one.
This place is probably one of the most expensive Cantonese food I've had in the Philippines but also one of the best. The quality of the ingredients is just.....there despite how expensive it is.
Get ready to shell out a lot of money on this one. I wanna cry when I see the bill because this place is as expensive as Chinese restos in the US and the US has gotten so expensive.
But this restaurants hits so many heights on a technical and tasting level. I haven't eaten here for awhile but I heard the quality is still there.
9/10 great great Chinese food
My favorite affordable Chinese restaurant. I mean, the prices have gone up there but same everywhere. I've been eating at this franchise for 12 years but I often go to the one in BF because it's nearest to me.
Freaking freaking good food. End of story. It's affordable, tasty, and a bang for your buck in my opinion.
Get their salt and pepper fish filet and salt and pepper isaw. I don't like isaw but having it fried and then mixed with that salt and MSG mixture is a match made in heaven
Overall taste wise this place is an 8.5/10 HOWEVER the value is so good that this resto gets a 9.1/10
(Note my mom feeds 8 to 10 people including my 400 pound half brother who eats so much for only 5000 if it's without my brother then 3800 probably)
Italian
Another one that is a bang for your buck place considering the quality. Their pasta is yummy and their noodles are freshly made. They have great caprese, salads, and of course their pizza.
Sometimes I order a bunch of pastas and I'm really happy golfer spending 1200 PHP for me and my ex. Yeah, sounds like a lot for two people but I eat like a piggy HAHA
8.5/10
A Mano (BGC and Makati)
Higher prices than Gino's but really really good. You can tell love and care has been curated into their dishes. I went to the BGC branch and found it outstanding.
I have nothing else to say but it's great Italian Food! My brain is lagging out right now but I'll edit this list tomorrow for better imaging and details regarding each entry.
8.9/10
Another place I super love is Va Bene but I haven't been in FOREVER. I heard their quality has been maintained so I am going back.
Alright brain is going blank
Restaurants that I'm searching for:
Sushi restaurants that serve bluefin tuna/medium fatty tuna/fatty tuna at a mid-range to expensive price.
Mexican restaurants that are as much as possible truly authentic because I'm particular with my Mexican food. I grew up in a Hispanic dense city in the US — Las Vegas. I was literally there recently and bought tacos on the sidewalk and it was so good 🤤
Fine Dining Restaurants:
Helm, Metiz, and Toyo Eatery are the ones I've been wanting to check out. I've heard of Blackbird but it doesn't interest me in comparison to the unique experiences of Helm, Metiz and Toyo. However opinions are super welcome!
Italian Restos:
Please recommend me VERY authentic ones. I want my carbonara without cream and garlic haha (NGL Filipino style carbonara is great one some days)
Chinese Restaurants:
Please recommend me anything. I've barely scratched the service of Chinese restaurants HAHA
Korean BBQ
My favorite is Soga Miga, Gogii Yolii (I'm so happy they opened a Las Piñas branch) and Giyummy (I eat here when I'm broke but amazing for the price)
Filipino Food:
I need to eat more Filipino food but please recommend me places with great sisig. For modern Filipino dining I do love Manam hehe
Alright, sorry for the long post and giving too many of my recos. I just wanted to share.
Have a good night!

2024.05.08 01:13 AddieGirl14 Looking for a town with a little more land/nature within 40 minutes of Philly?

I am not sure if what I am looking for exists but would love some help finding a town at least with some of my wants. I am looking for a starter home within 40 minutes or less from Philly (job) and don’t know where to start!
I would love a town with houses with a little more land. It doesn’t have to be farmland or an extremely rural area. Just has houses with an acre or so of land to get some privacy from neighbors. My dog and I have been living in apartments for six years and would love some more outdoor space. Bonus if there are some great local walking trails that I can take her.
I would also love a town with a Main Street with coffee shops/restaurants/stores within driving distance. I really love Collingswood but most of their houses are pretty close together. I know Mount Laurel has land but I don’t believe it has the “town” element.
And finally this is a starter home so can’t get too crazy with budget. I would love Haddonfield but just not an option financially.
Let me know if this is possible or just a pipe dream in Jersey!

2024.05.06 00:05 floydieman Recommendations for a decent, well-priced feed in Vancouver.

Hoping to find some tasty, yet affordable food for our holiday next month in Vancouver(coming from New Zealand) please. (The TripAdvisor regulars just wanna send you to the posh restaurants.) Looking for city-centre as well as Renfrew-Collingswood where we’re staying. (Kingsway is it, why does Google maps show street-names for small roads but only numbers for main ones??)
We like Asian, western, Mexican, Indian, sandwiches/subs, kebabs etc. Less keen on Italian and Japanese (other than sushi, we like sushi). Happy with either sit-down or take-out.

2024.05.03 00:58 RetroBeetle Answering YOUR Questions About CassidyVictim! (2024 Edition)

Answering YOUR Questions About CassidyVictim! (2024 Edition)
​
https://preview.redd.it/arb7rcj7d3yc1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=c9fe801ac08e71dd387aad45a0cd48f0adf016b8
CassidyVictim: The theory that states that the Crying Child/Bite Victim from FNaF 4 is the true identity of Cassidy, the spirit who became Golden Freddy.
CassidyVictim is a theory which I have been pursuing for nearly 2 years, and it's one that I believe holds the key to solving the Cawthon Era story of FNaF once and for all. It changes a lot about what we think we know about the games, but when all is said and done, it provides a clean, satisfying narrative that can be followed across the games from FNaF 1 to Ultimate Custom Night.
Of course, as with any theory, not everyone sees it that way. There have been a lot of points brought up against CassidyVictim over the past couple of years, and though I believe there to be solutions for each point, it can be hard to convey all of it at once. Explanations for events in FNaF aren't the kind of thing you can summarize in one or two paragraphs of a comment.
That's why, one week ago, I asked you to send me your questions about CassidyVictim. You guys asked, now it's time for me to answer. There were a lot of questions this time compared to last time (thank you very much for that!), so I'll be running through each question one-at-a-time to cover everything you brought up. Without further ado...

u/71450: "If MikePurg is true, and TMIR1280 is showing how UCN rather than the characters in UCN, then whats the point of making "the man" William? Is it just to confuse us?"

https://preview.redd.it/e48q3kr9d3yc1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c630a7feeaf38d923ddf5139a5bfbbb8e2ec0a9
"The Man in Room 1280" serves two purposes: 1.) To explain the logistics of how Ultimate Custom Night is possible, and 2.) To add an additional layer to the Stitchwraith story.
On the one hand, Scott needed the story to provide an answer for people who were confused about Ultimate Custom Night being a purgatory or personal hell or what have you; to that end, "The Man" depicts a person who has a spirit latched onto their brain, creating a nightmare that they can't wake from.
On the other hand, Scott needed the story to contribute to the Stitchwraith storyline that had been present throughout the books' epilogues and certain other stories; to that end, "The Man" depicts William Afton as a character within the Stitchline, leading to his and Andrew's eventual inclusion in the Stitchwraith itself. Rather than creating a brand-new murderer who would end up just getting killed off shortly thereafter, Scott used William and used him as a bridge from the earlier part of the Stitchwraith's journey to the later, Eleanor-centric part of the story.
It's the same sort of thing as "Coming Home"; the "Susie" from "Coming Home" is decidedly different than the "Susie" in the games, but she serves to explain to us how spirits possessing animatronics can interact with the real world.

u/zain_ahmed002 and u/71450: "How'd you explain FNAF World?"/"What are the clocks, and what does yellow eyes mean by 'the pieces are in place for you, all you need to do is find them'?"

https://preview.redd.it/vxhqp2rbd3yc1.png?width=1264&format=png&auto=webp&s=4e8a9dd6eb450d67ddcd6b9becd99213e386a7d3
FNaF World is the setup for "Happiest Day".
Judging by the yellow-eyed character's shared quotes with the Fredbear voice from FNaF 4, it seems safe to say that the owner of the yellow eyes is the person speaking through the Fredbear plush, which should mean that Charlotte is the one behind the eyes — an explanation for CharlottePlush can be found here: (Link) With that in mind, Charlotte is the one guiding the player through FNaF World and encouraging them to find the clocks that set up the "Happiest Day" minigame. But to what end?
The answer lies in Old Man Consequences's lake. In Ultimate Custom Night, reaching the lake triggers the same flag that unlocks the Old Man Consequences trophy in FNaF World, indicating that what happens at the lake in one game also happens in the other game. In FNaF World, when the player drowns themselves in the lake, they're taken to a screen that the game's files refer to as Happiest Day. From this, we can infer that the real "Happiest Day" sequence doesn't occur until Ultimate Custom Night, at which point Cassidy enters the lake and the nightmare ends.
To that end, FNaF World takes place at the same time as Ultimate Custom Night. The Easter eggs of Bouncepot, Tangle, and White Rabbit on the desk are there to show us that FNaF World is happening very close by. The whole thing is an attempt by Charlotte to get Cassidy to stop tormenting Michael. She does that the same way Jake does with Andrew, Eleanor, and others across the Stitchwraith story; finding happy memories and bringing them to light. The clocks lead to the resurfacing of Cassidy's memories, which are then explored and mended through the FNaF 3 minigames.
Who exactly the player controls in FNaF World isn't clear, but it doesn't seem to be too terribly important (my best guess is that it's Gabriel's spirit, since we do control Freddy in the overworld). What is important is that the yellow eye cutscenes are Charlotte talking directly to Cassidy. She's trying to help him to reconnect with his happier side, which was lost to years of isolation and Cassidy sort of stewing in his own anger. When she tells him that "the pieces are in place for [him]", she's prompting him to relive the better parts of his past and forgive his brother. It's only when he does that that the both of them can finally move on.

u/Ok-Peak5862: "If cassidy is an afton, then who was the 5th victim in the MCI?"

https://preview.redd.it/v47z5c3fd3yc1.png?width=339&format=png&auto=webp&s=4a8c4fa5f4d5d39bd34855468f19db93a7943999
There are two possible answers for this one. I'm more inclined to believe Option 1 or Option 2, but the movie has led me to consider Option 3.
Option 1: Cassidy Afton is still believed to be the fifth victim. It's likely that his death was covered up (possibly as "an unfortunate incident. . . involving multiple and simultaneous spring lock failures"?), so him suddenly not being around could mean that people thought he was kidnapped and his disappearance was linked to the other children's disappearances; alternatively, a projection of his spirit could have been picked up by the security cameras at Freddy's, and employees/detectives looking over the footage assumed he was another child who had been lured away to the back rooms by William.
Option 2: The One RetconTM was the alteration of the Missing Children's Incident to no longer include Golden Freddy. Scott changed Golden Freddy from one of the Missing Children to the FNaF 4 Crying Child, which we figured was the case at the time anyway (hence "integrated pretty seamlessly"). Either the Missing Children's Incident now consists only of four children (Gabriel, Jeremy, Susie, and Fritz), or Charlotte was retroactively made into one of the five children linked to the incident. Which one is more likely has yet to be determined.
Option 3: The fifth victim is Mr. Cupcake. In the movie, we see Mr. Cupcake acting of his own volition, separately from Chica. I intend to compose a full theory exploring the possibility that Mr. Cupcake is the fifth victim in the movie's timeline (while Golden Freddy is someone different), but in the meantime, it may be that this is the explanation for the games' victims, as well; perhaps the fifth victim (Andrew, maybe?) went on to possess Mr. Cupcake after their body was hidden inside the same Chica suit as Susie?

u/Rocket_SixtyNine: "Why isn't he in the movie."

https://preview.redd.it/zllsf23se3yc1.png?width=872&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7b30798e1fa6dd43e33cece460b3845cf703643
The Five Nights at Freddy's Movie changes a lot of the story from the games. Vanessa is now an Afton, Michael is no longer an Afton, and William is killed outside the safe room by Mr. Cupcake. To that end, Cassidy simply doesn't exist in the movie's timeline.
That being said, the same concept still appears in the movie. As I explained above, there's a chance that the fifth victim in the movie went on to possess Mr. Cupcake. My guess is that the child with the white top hat is meant to be that fifth victim, while Grant Feely's blond character is Freddy instead of Golden Freddy. If that's the case, then Golden Freddy is none other than Garret Schmidt, Mike's brother. He's still incorporeal, as evidenced by him vanishing before Abby re-enters the restaurant; that lines up with CassidyVictim's assertion that the Crying Child could be Golden Freddy due to Golden Freddy's lack of physical form.
(Before anyone points out that Golden Freddy appears to have weight when he sits down in the taxi, remember that "Coming Home" shows us that a spirit can still interact with the real world. This is no different.)

u/Random_RHINO2006: "Why is Cassidy apparently talking to themself in the logbook?"

https://preview.redd.it/hw83xbfve3yc1.jpg?width=1616&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0747b661c96a05eda7db1cb453f6b2d730227243
Cassidy is the name of the altered-text spirit, not the faded-text spirit.
In what's currently my most well-liked theory (Link), I highlighted the fact that the name "Cassidy" is found in the logbook's word search, which is made up of printed letters that Altered has moved around (see also "Who are you", "What is your name"). This seems to indicate that Cassidy is actually Altered's name, not Faded's name. It's one of the biggest points CassidyVictim has going for it right now.
Meanwhile, Faded's name is hidden inside the Foxy Grid; we know this must be the case because of the three faded letters written in the corner of the Foxy Grid, which use the exact same font/typeface as Faded's messages. At the moment, I believe the most compelling argument for who Faded is to be that it's Springtrap trying to figure out who Golden Freddy is. That explains why Faded seems to already know so much about the Crying Child's life.
Even so, I may need to reread the logbook and compile new evidence, because it looks like newer prints of the book changed some of the hints (check for yourself; I couldn't find a single page with an incorrect page number in my more recent copy).

u/No-Efficiency8937: "Who does BV possess/what happens to him?"/"What about fnaf world. . . how would he appear in the logbook. . . years later?"/"Cassidy gender,"/"how would cassidy Aka BV possess golden Freddy?"

https://preview.redd.it/vt6z0xoxe3yc1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=bdeca28996f033f85ce45a9c254a227f82412f58
  1. The Bite Victim/the Crying Child/Cassidy Afton dies in the hospital and becomes Golden Freddy due to not being nearby to any object he could easily possess; he's an incorporeal spirit that can change its appearance at will and move through walls. He stalks Michael over the course of the Scott Cawthon Era of FNaF, finally catching him at the end of Pizzeria Simulator and creating Ultimate Custom Night. He moves on when he's given his Happiest Day and he forgives his brother.
  2. FNaF World doesn't take place until Ultimate Custom Night (see above). It does not take place at the same time as FNaF 3, like many believe.
  3. The Princess from Princess Quest is not Cassidy. She may share the name "Cassidy", but that's no different than multiple characters having the name "Michael" or "Susie" or "Jeremy".
  4. See above. Since there was nothing in the hospital for Cassidy to possess (for the purposes of enacting revenge on Michael), he became a ghost and hung around the restaurants for decades, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

u/Content_Cup4400 and u/Rocket_SixtyNine: "What do you think about Stitchlinegames"/"how dose Tales+Sitchline games effect cassidyvictim?"

https://preview.redd.it/w7t2qsk0f3yc1.png?width=1175&format=png&auto=webp&s=0ddea948fa6bf83acc3b4c9445e18551a3f09853
I do not believe StitchlineGames to be accurate, but TalesGames could work.
There is too much different between the Stitchwraith timeline ("Stitchline") and the games' timeline for me to accept them as taking place within the same continuity. For one example, in the Stitchline, Circus Baby's Pizza World opened and remained open, whereas in the games, it never got past its initial test-run. For another example, William Afton is still alive in the Stitchline, but he's been dead in the games ever since the spring lock incident. If the Stitchwraith story were directly confirmed as taking place within the same continuity as the games (which I personally find to be highly unlikely), I fear it would appear to contradict CassidyVictim initially, but I don't think it would necessarily mean the end of CassidyVictim; rather, it would mean that I need to do more research to determine how exactly Andrew and Cassidy can exist in the same continuity at the same time.
Tales from the Pizzaplex, however, doesn't contradict the events of the Steel Wool Era of FNaF. I wouldn't go so far as to say that Tales tells us the origin of Glitchtrap and Burntrap; the circumstances surrounding them are very different from each other, as I've gone into detail about before (Link). However, I see no problem with Tales being an origin story for the Mimic. It's like if we had gotten a series of books focused on Circus Baby right before Sister Location released, in that it's not showing us any vital information about the primary antagonist but instead fleshing out the story of a secondary antagonist. It doesn't have any negative impact on CassidyVictim.

u/250extreme: "What do you think Cassidy's relationship with and thoughts on William are throughout the entire series and how do they change if at all?"

https://preview.redd.it/6u9c2xt2f3yc1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=04102a22680efd83fe5913862d417197f66e59c5
Cassidy didn't know about his father's murders until right at the end.
Of course, William has been shown to be a horrible parent in more ways than one (Midnight Motorist shows us he's an alcoholic, FNaF 4 and The Fourth Closet show us he's neglectful, Midnight Motorist and The Fourth Closet imply he's physically abusive, etc.), so we know his relationship with Cassidy wasn't a good one to begin with. However, Cassidy never knew how far it went; he never recognized William inside the Spring Bonnie suit, so even if he did happen to witness the Missing Children's Incident or the "S-A-V-E-T-H-E-M" murders, he wouldn't have known that it was his own father killing the kids. Evidence for this is shown to us in the logbook, where Cassidy has to ask William his name and believes him when he calls himself Springtrap (see above).
The only point at which that would have changed is after Ultimate Custom Night. Having access to all of Michael's memories (things like the Nightmares or Ennard) means that Cassidy would find out the truth behind Spring Bonnie through Michael's knowledge of the events. At that point, the implication seems to be that Cassidy wanted to punish William the same way he had been tormenting Michael; however, he was stopped by Old Man Consequences and guided to "Happiest Day" instead. For the purposes of this minigame, I'd wager Old Man Consequences is meant to represent Henry, but that's a theory for another day.

u/minion133: "Might sound rude but it is genuine: why do you believe it's correct? Also, what is the logbook about under this theory?"

https://preview.redd.it/0zqjlil7f3yc1.jpg?width=438&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d64ffb21a14d18593d1da0275c6243f0702815a8
My response to your second question answers your first question: The logbook is the reveal that the Crying Child's name is Cassidy.
As explained and linked above, the name "Cassidy" is found in the word search with a bunch of altered text, rather than in the Foxy Grid with a set of faded text. Given that Altered appears to be the Crying Child — he says "the party" was for him and is specifically asked whether the Fredbear plush still talks to him — that should mean that "Cassidy" is the name meant to be associated with Altered, not Faded. The book shows us an interaction between Cassidy and (presumably) his father, as each attempts to figure out who the other is.
That's one of the biggest points of evidence for CassidyVictim, but the truth is that there's a lot of evidence that led me to accepting it as what I believe is the canon answer to the series. An early theory of mine was focused on "Blackbird" and how it seemed to present the idea that the bully was tormented by someone he had hurt before; a more recent theory of mine delved into Ultimate Custom Night and compiled all the evidence for Michael and William each being the player (spoiler alert: Michael had the most by a long shot); and, the whole time, the fact that the Crying Child had a story but no name, while Cassidy had a name but no story, was swirling around in my head. If you'd like a master list of all the points of evidence I've found and all of the theories I've crafted as a result, I've got one right here: (Link)
At this point, I've seen enough evidence for the theory that I don't think I'll be dropping it unless Scott himself shows us something that undeniably debunks it.

u/alpacameron: "what's the point of springtrap communicating with cassidy in the logbook, and why would he introduce himself as springtrap and not as his father?"

https://preview.redd.it/q57scylgf3yc1.jpg?width=825&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03b09a033a282a1dbb8011510257c29955b2a0bf
Springtrap's goal is just to figure out who Golden Freddy is. We see him ask a few questions that don't necessarily have anything to do with Cassidy, like "WAS YOUR FAVORITE RIDE THE CAROUSEL?" He doesn't know whom he's speaking with, so he's asking questions to narrow it down.
Meanwhile, he doesn't want to give his identity away if there's a chance that the spirit he's talking to is someone who wants revenge against him. He identifies himself as Springtrap so he can avoid setting one of his victims off. (And since, y'know, he calls himself Springtrap in The Twisted Ones; evidently, he views that form as a stronger version of himself.)

u/InfalliblePizza: "What would the Cassidy movie have been about"

https://preview.redd.it/sz52oyrhf3yc1.png?width=736&format=png&auto=webp&s=5862b6e23151943ede31cace389b28cdb7eaada0
Like Scott said, the Cassidy screenplay probably would just have followed the story of Cassidy, from his death all the way up to his moving on from Golden Freddy and Michael. It would have shown us the events of the Fredbear Bite/Bite of '83, explained Cassidy's transformation into Golden Freddy, followed Michael as he attempted to make up for his mistake, pitted Golden Freddy against Michael, and resolved with "Happiest Day". As much as I'd have loved to see that movie, I can agree with Scott that what works in a series of games doesn't necessarily work in a singular movie or even series of movies; this movie would have been a lore dump and very little more, and Scott knew that.
(Interestingly, what Scott says about the screenplay actually serves to support CassidyVictim. He mentions that the movie would have been "spanning multiple time-periods, following multiple characters, and featuring lore from multiple games"; that doesn't sound like one of William Afton's victims, but it absolutely sounds like the Crying Child as Golden Freddy.)

u/Good-Engineer-9378 and u/stickninja1015: "What do you think about the trilogy of novels? and how do you explain why Cassidy is a woman here?"/"How do you explain Cassidy explicitly being a girl with black hair"

https://preview.redd.it/o66t457nf3yc1.png?width=1507&format=png&auto=webp&s=21aa591502abf90750246dae205c22ceb77709d0
The Cassidy from the novels is not the same person as the Cassidy from the games. As with the Princess from Princess Quest, it's another character who happens to share the name "Cassidy".
One huge indicator of this is the fact that Novel-Cassidy isn't Golden Freddy. Michael Brooks is repeatedly stated to be the Golden Freddy of the novels' timeline. Whom Cassidy possesses is never mentioned (though many speculate that it's Bonnie, since Jeremy isn't included in the novels' version of the Missing Children). If she really were the same Cassidy, I fail to see why 1.) she isn't still viewed as special among the others like Cassidy is in the games, 2.) she isn't still Golden Freddy, and 3.) the graphic novel depicts her with brown hair instead of the black hair described in the novel version (take note of Susie in the same graphic novel; she was important enough to retain her design elements from both her novel iteration and her game iteration).
I should probably take this moment to address the other half of the black-haired Cassidy theory: the picture of a girl in the logbook is just an illustration, nothing more. It was drawn by an artist working for Fazbear Entertainment, just like all the other drawings in the logbook; I sincerely doubt that said artist had any knowledge of the Missing Children or what they looked like, and they especially wouldn't have known about "Happiest Day" (which wouldn't have even happened yet, seeing as Michael was still around to write in the thing). People bring up the drawings of what looks like Fazbear's Fright, and that certainly sounds convincing, until you notice the drawings of smartphones, the Funtimes, and as recent of a magazine as "Screws, Bolts, and Hairpins"; the logbook was made fairly recently, likely as something to give workers at a Freddy's franchise location.

u/Oliver21417: "Why does Golden Freddy have a girl's laugh in FNAF 1?"

https://preview.redd.it/3a3w3tapf3yc1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=003629cad58c50a8d5268d248927c7281342a116
It's not necessarily a girl's laugh. A lot of young boys have voices that sound high-pitched enough that they can pass as girls, to the point that it's a common practice in voice acting to cast an adult woman as a young male character. It might sound like a girl, but that doesn't mean it has to be a girl. To add onto that, Cassidy is referred to as male in Ultimate Custom Night, and the picture used for his face is of a boy.
Also, don't forget that Golden Freddy's laugh is the same one that's used for Freddy, just slowed down in the latter case. We're fairly confident that the spirit within Freddy is male, so take that for what it's worth.

Conclusion

https://preview.redd.it/i11y75trf3yc1.jpg?width=380&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9af5ccb2ab19152d269cbe516117d050ab378e12

2024.04.27 16:19 flamerain Thinking of moving to Collingswood

Is Collingswood good for someone looking for lots to do outside of work?
I’ve been working from home for the last four years and living in upstate NY. While my cost of living is extremely low I’m getting sick of the grey weather and college town vibes that make me feel old at 27. I found Collingswood and it looks like it could be a good fit but I’d love to hear from people who have lived there!
Here are my goals: -A suburban area outside a city that would allow me to take advantage of events and activities when I’m not working from home alone (CrossFit, festivals, good restaurants, etc)
-I’d prefer to not live directly in a city since I currently live in a relatively rural area and will want to be able to escape the hustle and bustle when needed.
-Reasonable cost of living. I know I’ll never get as cheap as I currently live but I’m looking for about $1.6-1.8K for a nice 2 bedroom apartment in a safe area. I found Parkview Towers which looked promising.
-Lots of parks and areas for walking and jogging
-Close to northern NJ where I have family
Edit: sorry for the horrible formatting. I’m on mobile and don’t know how to fix it :(

Got an email from a restaurant I’ve ordered from that they use this blackbird rewards system, and apparently it is used by a lot of restaurants. Seems a little sketchy, so wanted to see if anyone’s used it.

2024.03.14 20:47 Stormy8888 2023 Reddit Fantasy Hard Mode Hero Mode Bingo #4 - Theme: Food and Drink related content, or words in title.

2023 Reddit Fantasy Hard Mode Hero Mode Bingo #4 - Theme: Food and Drink related content, or words in title.
Reddit Fantasy Bingo continues to be a driving force for 2023's reading. This time I tried to fit in as many sequels as possible in a valiant effort to get the TBR under control, which kind of failed miserably since I kept adding more series to the pile instead. < Whoops, not working as intended. > This is the fourth of 4 (ambitious goal) Hard mode Fantasy Bingo Cards (Hard mode, Asian Authors, African Authors, Food/Drink Related Fun), made after a ton of research and reading.
Initially I only did 3 cards but was prompted by immense enjoyment of Legends & Lattes to try a food and drink card since there's a sequel in 2023, so here it is, somehow I managed to end up with a hard mode card! Links are to full reviews on Goodreads.
https://preview.redd.it/r0xfj6h4scoc1.png?width=484&format=png&auto=webp&s=75955da307c48594c3781faf661dace6c45bc3a2
First Row Across
1. Title With A Title - Khaw, Cassandra - Rupert Wong, Cannibal Chef - 2½⭐
The first book in the Gods and Monsters: Rupert Wong Series tries to make us feel sympathetic for Rupert Wong, former sorcerer who made a deal to remain in the mortal world by working days as a chef serving human hors d’oeuvres for a dynasty of ghouls and by night, he pushes pencils for the Ten Chinese Hells. If this isn't already hell on world (sympathies to anyone working more than one job) his employers appreciate him as much as a Sith Lord appreciates his underlings.
Foodie Note: Yeah, unappetizing. The writing and imagery are great in this food horror book but I personally could not stand the protagonist.
2. Superheroes - Zhao, Katie - Winnie Zeng Unleashes A Legend - 4½⭐
Middle Grade. The first book of Katie Zhao's Winnie Zeng Series features middle child Winnie - all she wants is to be seen by her parents as equal to her sister while winning the academic competition with arch Rival David Zuo. Then she uses her grandma's old cookbook to make a bunch of magical mooncakes, causing otherworldly chaos to spill into her home town and before she knows it Grandma's Ghost tells her she's a food shaman and must join the supernatural superhero force to fight evil, in addition to her daily responsibilities of homework, academics and playing the piano.
Foodie Note: Charming, relatable and the food descriptions are top notch. They get the whole food + family bonding thing. There's a recipe at the end of the book, it doesn't seem too hard so I might try it at some stage.
3. Bottom Of The TBR - Bender, Aimee - The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake - 1⭐
This was in TBR since 2010 and after reading it I kind of wish it had stayed there. Rose can taste the feelings of others in food, thus ending up becoming a rebel. The prose is lovely at points but cannot make up for practically every single character being unlikable to the point where I thought "OMG FFS" while throwing my hands in the air after yet another bad decision is made, all the way to the weird, not great, ending.
Foodie Note: Disappointed. The best thing about this book is the slice of lemon cake on the cover.
4. Magical Realism or Literary Fantasy - Webber, Heather - Midnight At The Blackbird Cafe - 2½⭐
Anna Kate has to move to Wicklow, Alabama and run Granny Zee's Blackbird Cafe for 2 months in order to inherit (and sell) the cafe because real life is a series of choices.
Money, 🤑 Priority. Medical School, ⏸ Pause. Cafe, ▶️ Continue!
She starts to discover the charms of the small southern town with it's suffocating busy bodies, the secrets of her existence and her grandma's "special" blackbird cafe pie that allows one to dream of a deceased loved one. It read very Hallmark movie, and after a while I was quite "done" with the small town stuff, even with the lovely narration.
Foodie Note: The Pie as described sounds so delicious I was craving pie after this book.
5. Young Adult - The Heartbreak Bakery - The Heartbreak Bakery - 5⭐
Dubbed The Breakup Brownies Book as Teenage baker Syd deals with the trauma of her break up by making a batch of brownies, that soon causes any patron of The Proud Muffin that has eaten them to break up! Have to say I loved this book. It's an examination of the different identity and acceptance problems in the LGBTQ+ community, with each character exhibiting a different facet of what it means to be part of a marginalized community, which isn't a monolith. Love is difficult as folks struggling internally with their identity usually have difficulty relating to others since they're not fully comfortable with themselves. It's a sad reflection of what the community experiences. The author tries to balance this out with some humor, delicious recipes and a tiny amount of snark.
Foodie Note: Do not read this if you're on a diet, the food descriptions are stellar. I would eat most of them, break up or no break up.
Second Row
6. Mundane Jobs - Kashiki, Takuto - Hakumei & Mikochi: Tiny Little Life in the Woods Vol 6 and 7 - 5⭐
Well, I was recommended this for bingo since the two 3.5 inch tall ladies are a carpenter and a tailor who cooks well. So I read one volume and watched the anime (trailer linked). It's cozy fantasy, cottage core iyashikei (healing, calming content) with lots of cooking, eating, building, problem solving, fishing and ordinary mundane stuff, with Ghibli levels of goodness to the point where they made a gang war, gambling, a necromancer and a beetle look wholesome AND cute. The animals talk, and they're so small blueberries are the size of watermelons and they can "ride" cats and birds. Squeee!!! Kawaii stuff is my kryptonite, I was doomed. Cannot recommend this highly enough for those who love cozy fantasy. It's the first and only manga I've read (so far).
Foodie Note: Yeah, this is going to make you hungry. Everything sounds and looks delicious, the food, the drinks, all of it.
7. Published In The 00s - Adams, Douglas - The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe - 4½⭐
The second book of Douglas Adam's The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Series qualifies for hard mode published in the 2000s as it is ranked 31 (just squeaking out) so not in the top 30 of Fantasy Top Novels 2023. It begins with Arthur putting everyone in jeopardy in search of a good cuppa tea, and progressively gets more ridiculous, with me laughing out loud many times reading this as I was familiar with some of the long used running gags.
Foodie Note: The level of absurdity for the "grammar" police at the Restaurant was epic. Not so much the food, but this restaurant is clearly the ultimate top notch dinner with entertainment (i.e. I would pay big bucks to go dine and see.)
8. Angels and Demons - Mead, Richelle - Succubus Blues - 1½⭐
Can't believe I found a hard mode card for this square! The first book of Richelle Mead's Georgina Kincaid Series has Georgia, succubus demon protagonist who works at a bookstore attached to a cafe. Unfortunately this reads like a predictable CW show with just about every single cringe inducing trope in it.
Foodie Note: Yeah, that cafe is one I would visit if the food / coffee is anything to go by.
9. Five Short Stories - Dao, Zao - Cuisine Chinoise: Five Tales Of Food And Life - 4⭐
This was the perfect book to use for a food and drink themed bingo card for Reddit Fantasy's 2023 Bingo Square 5 short stories. This book qualifies for hard mode as it is an entire anthology. The art is very different, detailed and beautiful and the stories all have a philosophical lesson in them, almost fable like.
Foodie Note: This is more of a food horror trainwreck, where some bits were gross but I just could not stop reading.
10. Horror - Valente, Catherynne M. - Comfort Me With Apples - 3½⭐
It starts innocuously enough with a list of Home Owner's Association by-laws, to ensure all the couples in Arcadia Gardens are perfect, and before you know it we have some creepy Stepford Wives vibes as our protagonist begins to ... Question things.
Foodie Note: The apples in the title are integral to the plot of the story, but I couldn't enjoy the "lavish" meals due to the persistent feeling of discomfort and dread.
Third Row
11. Self Published, Indie Publisher - Kaplan, Ariel - The Pomegranate Gate - 4⭐
The first book of The Mirror Realm Cycle begins with an appendix giving us a brief overview of the family structures / realms before we meet both "functionally disabled" protagonists, the physically frail Toba and the "sees things" Naftaly. The prose is lovely and lyrical, possibly the strongest part of this book. Characters are engaging, there's good world building and a decent magic system in this breakneck paced story with enough twists to keep me surprised. Things veered into the grim dark at stages, so I wish there was a bit more humor to lighten the tension, so I could give this a higher rating.
Foodie Note: The gate is in a grove of Pomegranate Trees, there's mentions of food created by magic, but somehow after reading this I did not find myself craving lentil anything.
12. Set In The Middle East/Middle Eastern SFF - Joudakar, Zeyn - The Map Of Salt And Stars - 3⭐
This book has been said to be as relevant to Syrian history as The Kite Runner is to Afghan history, however after reading it while there are very many similarities The Kite Runner is a far better book in nearly every respect. The only part where The Map of Salt and Stars is superior is in the fantasy elements, told in flashback as parts of the past where ancestors had made the same journey, facing almost mythical beasts, using this same map.
Foodie Note: Salt in title, the food here was sad, as it was mostly about the lack of food.
13. Published in 2023 - Tsai, Mia - Bitter Medicine - 2½⭐
Middle child Elle is a descendant of the Chinese god of medicine but family drama caused issues so now Elle lives in hiding as a mediocre magical calligrapher at a fairy "temp" agency, a complete waste of her healing talents as her parents must be very, very disappointed since you know, it's the stereotypical Asian parent's dream to have that particular profession (Doctor) in their family. The romance was well done but the ending was very rushed.
Foodie Note: Bitter + Medicine in title, some food, did not make me hungry. This novel was like going to a fine dining meal with a bad dessert (terrible ending ruined it).
14. Multiverse and Alternate Realities - Hernandez, Carlos - Sal and Gabi Break The Universe - 4½⭐
Another case where I can't believe I found a hard mode card, this is the first book of the Sal and Gabi Series aimed at Middle Graders. Protagonist Sal Vidon, magician extraordinaire, refuses to be the target of bullying at his new school, instead confronting the bully and magiking a dead chicken into the bully Yasmany's locker! Sal is able to open portals to the multiverse, and he's been using it to bring living versions of his now deceased mom over to his universe. You can already see there are many problems with this.
Foodie Note: There's a recurring food + family theme in this book, with many descriptions of family feasts where mothers or grandmothers have a sacred duty to FEED the children. It reminded me of my mom and family. Great, now I am homesick and have to stress eat!
15. POC Author - De Bodard, Aliette - The Tea Master and The Detective. - 4⭐
Sapphic Sherlock in Space. It's short, there's a mystery and there's mind altering tea served on the ship, which makes it the best flight ever until a dead body ruins things. It was great.
Foodie Note: After the first flight refreshments, I ended up doing that entire ritual of making tea (from loose leaves, not a bag) before reading the rest of this story. Sadly, as good as my tea was, it isn't the kind of tea that will get the drinker high, like the ones in the story. Oh well, there goes my attempt at High Tea (not the 4pm event).
Fourth Row
16. Book Club - Ibrahim, Maiya - Spice Road - 1⭐
The first book of The Spice Road Trilogy seemed to have all the ingredients of a middle eastern themed blockbuster YA series. Halfway through I could not ignore the issues. Lack of world building. Derivative, lazy writing like Sand Worms and Spice (Hello, Dune?), bottle of light (Earendil, LOTR?) etc. Trope filled and not done well as the cast is unlikable to the point the best thing about this book is the cover.
Foodie Note: The only thing this book made me do was go to the kitchen to make curry, since "the Spice Must Flow."
17. Novella - Cast, Kristin - The Scent of Salt & Sand - 2½⭐
No joke, it's really hard to find food word type novellas NOT published by Tordotcom, whose influence is pervasive. But I found one! In the first 2 books of Kristin Cast and PC Cast's The Escaped Universe, the walls that separate Tartarus from the mortal realm have been breached, releasing every variety of evil into the world. This novella is side story 2.5, focusing on Sirens. It's a basic paranormal romance with suspense elements, the ending was abrupt and I didn't find anything too special about it besides how well done the romance angle was.
Foodie Note: Well, besides the word salt there was that one restaurant scene that made me feel a little guilty as I love to eat seafood.
18. Mythical Beasts - Wallace, Matt - Envy of Angels - 4⭐
The first book the gourmet horror Sin du Jour Series introduces us to the titular restaurant which serves all kinds of ingredients (mythical creatures, insects and others) to exclusive otherworldly denizens and tonight's guests are demons. It's witty, the food is very well described and it's very very clear the author is intimately familiar with the food service industry or has watched a ton of reality cooking competitions as the brunoise a pineapple in 1 minute reminded me of Top Chef's Mise En Place Race. And then they reveal the secret ingredient and OMG!!
Foodie Note: The food cred is high, and no, I did not crave that ingredient, not at all, at least not from that chain restaurant that I've boycotted for decades.
19. Elemental Magic - McKinley, Robin - Chalice - 3⭐
Protagonist Mirasol, former bee keeper now newly appointed Chalice, is out of her depth as she struggles to bind the circle, the land and its people together with their new Master, former priest of fire, who has burned her! It's an age old struggle between duty and honor. The honey is magical and luscious, the feel is regency and you just KNOW those two are going to burst into flames of romance? But no, it doesn't quite go there, dammit. Still, this book is kind of saved by what I'd consider therapy bees.
Foodie Note: Suddenly I was in the mood for "hot" honey, and ended up making a grilled cheese drizzled with Jalapeno Honey and thin slices of apple. That sandwich was spicier and more satisfying than this book.
20. Myths and Retellings - Catling, Patrick Skene - The Chocolate Touch - 3⭐
Another square I was surprised to find a hard mode book that fit! The first book of The John Midas Series is a re-telling of the Greek Fable of The King Midas Touch. It's a middle grade book, where Protagonist John Midas' obsession with chocolate is beyond reason despite health warnings from his doctor. One day he ends up a strange shop, eats something he shouldn't and now everything that touches his lips turns into chocolate, instead of gold. It's a DISASTER!
Foodie Note: Yup, I found an entire Toblerone chocolate triangle tube to eat while reading this, but only did 3 triangles as towards the middle of this cautionary tale I kind of lost the desire to eat chocolate.
Fifth Row
21. Queernorm - Baldree, Travis - Bookshops & Bonedust - 5⭐
The prequel of Travis Baldree's Legends & Lattes Series brings us back to a time where Viv, who has injured her leg in the hunt for a powerful necromancer is forced to convalesce in the sleepy beach town of Murk, derailing her plans to advance in the notorious mercenary company Rackham's Ravens! She's so bored she happens across a bookshop run by a crusty rat proprietress, who sends her away with a book to read at the tavern, where there's delicious food all the time.
Cannot emphasize how much I love this series, reading Legends and Lattes last year is what prompted me to do this bingo card. In this book, I bet Baldree had a TON of fun writing excerpts from the various books, as much fun as I had reading them.
Foodie Note: It's a Legends & Lattes series, at minimum you're going to crave some comfort drink or snack while enjoying this book, like Starbucks pastries and hot chocolate.
22. Coastal or Island Setting - Sanderson, Brandon - Tress Of The Emerald Sea - 5⭐
One of Sanderson's secret projects. He said the genesis for this book is what if Princess Buttercup, from The Princess Bride, decided to have some agency and DID SOMETHING instead of just waiting for Westley to return after being kidnapped by the Dread Pirate Roberts? So we have Tress who loves Charlie, the Lord's son and he's taken away. Tress is quite the cook, she leaves to get her love back! It's whimsical, fun, lovely and exciting, and it had that whole Princess Bride feel to it.
Foodie Note: There's a TON of food in this, take this passage for example.
“Men often described the girl as having hair the color of wheat. Others called it the color of caramel, or occasionally the color of honey. The girl wondered why men so often used food to describe women’s features. There was a hunger to such men that was best avoided.”
23. Druid - Allen, Sarah Addison - Garden Spells - 3⭐
The first book of The Waverley Family Series takes us the small town of Bascombe, where the Waverley's Garden has a reputation - famous for its feisty apple tree that bears prophetic fruit, and its edible flowers, imbued with special powers. The author's writing is evocative, with the characters, the small town feel and the food coming across as very realistic, even if I didn't like some of the characters. This falls more in the realm of magical realism, as there is very little of the magic system explained, even though I did find the Apple Tree and the young daughter charming.
Foodie Note: The catering character's concoctions made me go out to get some of those pretty looking little cakes, even found one decorated with edible flowers.
24. Features Robots - Chambers, Becky - A Psalm For The Wild-Built - 5⭐
The first book of Becky Chambers' Monk and Robot Series features Mosscap, a fully autonomous robot who ends up traveling with Dex, a Tea Monk won a ton of awards for good reason. Narrator Emmett Grosland does a good job capturing the nuances of both Dex and Mosscap, bringing them both to life. The characters and their burgeoning friendship was so engaging, I loved this story with its mix of humor and deep philosophy.
Foodie Note: Yeah, I ended up going into the Tea cupboard and brewing some long forgotten special teas to sip and appreciate while reading this book. Tea and Con-tea-mplation go well together.
25. Sequel - Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù - Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu (Novel) Vol. 6 - 5⭐
The sixth of 8 books in the Heaven Official's Blessing Series really brings the food angle to the forefront, as we discover Xie Lian's disastrous cooking skills might have been inherited, from his equally inept in the kitchen mother, whose cooking he copies in an effort to remember her and to cope with her death (!!) The depths of Hua Cheng's love know no bounds as he forces himself to eat the bad cooking. How bad is it?
Foodie Note: Scene from the book. It's funny but one won't feel like eating after.
Xie Lian shook his head and opened the pot cover, and the fragrance wafted ten miles around. Now he'd done it - the brawl instantly stopped, and everyone started howling. “What the fuck ... ? What's that smell? ” “Who's cooking shit?!” “Not just shit - shit that smells like pot bottoms!”

2024.02.26 16:01 odd_guy_johnson Towns with public transportation that isn't PATCO?

I'm in Philly right now but will be moving to South Jersey in 2025. I've done an absurd amount of research and also go to SJ weekly. I'd say the biggest thing I'm looking for is a town with public transportation to Philly, and a town that isn't completely dead in terms of some restaurants, shops, etc.
Ideally, taking PATCO and living in the Collingswood/Haddonfield area would be my go-to choice, but I'm afraid it will be even more unaffordable by the time I move. I really like Pitman and surrounding towns in Gloucester County, but I am not familiar with public transportation in those areas. However, I'm not interested in driving 25+ minutes to PATCO and then another 25 to Philly. Is there anything reliable that isn't PATCO?
