  I just wanna shout out the choice to make the “bubble” transparent so it matches every background. That’s some quality meme-ing.

  Nobody said it would be.

  To open the community center (the primary goal for the first year+) specifically takes quite a lot of money actually, and outside of talking with NPC’s once a day, money is necessary to get every other advancement I can think of. I agree that many players probably go too hard into trying to min/max things, but the game isn’t as loosey-goosey with costs as you suggest.

  Sorry, I probably could have been more clear that I was referring more to people that play SD for irl years and have crops spread all across their farm. I can definitely sympathize with new players that spread out too much without the experience to know what that entails. Hell, I’m pretty sure did the same my first time playing. It seems petty natural to make that choice.

  Fwiw, if you end up trying the game again, I found QOL mods really enhanced my enjoyment of the game, particularly the one that provided the option to change how long days were. Even just a 20% change really helped make the game less stressful for me.

  Same thing with RottenTomatoes ratings. “90% fresh” just means the reviewers thought it wasn’t terrible. It really doesn’t say anything about the actual quality of the movie.

  For anyone that hasn’t seen it, Portal: Reloaded is a fan-made dlc that’s really quite good as well.

  I never understand why anyone puts together those maybe farms. Personally, I always end up leaving the vast majority of the space unused. My farms only ever occupy the space directly in front of the house, and even that needs sprinklers asap.

  Thanks, I’m rich.

  Only if you’re right.

  The content doesn’t matter in the slightest.

  Oh no. A program has output the thing it was prompted to output.

  By the man in charge of one of the biggest social media site on the planet, who recently was spearheading governmental reform in the US. Yeah, that’s news. It might not be surprising, but it’s still news.

  AAA devs are finding out there’s no such thing as infinite money doesn’t mean there are no good games. Look around and you might just realize they’re actually the least interesting content out there. There are more games coming out per/day than at any other point in history. Take some initiative and you’ll find something great.

  The raids are bullshit, but at least companies are finally facing some sort of consequence for their institutional, systemic exploitation of migrants.

  I didn’t get a light until the gb color. It held into port well enough, but yeah, that thing chewed through batteries as well. I was so happy when I got an sp.
