Wow edgy

It’s extremely similar to Harvest Moon.

Stardew is a fairly cosy, casual farming game that you can delve pretty deeply into min-maxing if you want. Usually that profit min-maxing is at the expense of a huge portion of the game’s content - no time to befriend local villagers or experience the story if you’re trying to meet your turnip quota.

I have never felt more like a mad scientist. Beautiful game.

Just like Santa, he’s making a list.

Many pitcher plants produce nectar as a lure.

Thanks, felt like I was taking crazy pills. Leaves of three, let it be!

Climate change is causing Christmas creep? It’s worse than we thought!!

Sowwy we voted for fascism guys :(( still hate u tho 🤪

Dad???

They had me at “unladylike karate chops” 🤣

Capitalism baby! If nobody buys your environmentally friendly aluminum cups they won’t do much good, and people are more likely to buy a product with “luxurious” feeling packaging. They’re likely still a net benefit vs plastic solo cups, but the market leads to perverse incentives.

Those things are feats of engineering!

Spacesuits are cool too I guess.

Funnily, they no longer make either of these products. The glass jar division was sold decades ago, and the aerospace sector was purchased by BAE last year. Ball is still the largest manufacturer of aluminum cans, however. They also make plastic bottles.

Cucumber water is a thing.

Realistically, 15% is too high but if the section for water was any shorter the word wouldn’t fit inside.

I just wanted to build scientific instruments on satellites. Sucks when the company you worked at for 18 years gets sold to an arms dealer.

I keep finding new little things like this. For example, I started crying at the dentist during a routine appointment. Turns out that time I had oral surgery and was given insufficient anesthesia kinda traumatized me and I didn’t realize it had stuck with me like that. Huh, new fear unlocked. Lucky me.

At 41 I’m surprised by how much more self confident I have become. I still remember what it felt like being the insecure girl I was in high school, but it’s so obvious to me now that the things I was afraid of then were silly. I wish I had worried less and enjoyed life more back then, but I’m glad I have come as far as I have. I wonder when I look back in another 25 years if I’ll feel just as foreign to myself at 41.

I was eaten by an escalator once. I was around five, and going up with my toes pressed forward against the stair above me. As I got to the top, the stairs slid together pinching the ends of both my tennis shoes between them and trapping me. I yelped and a quick-thinking adult family friend who was just ahead of me pulled me up and right out of my shoes. The ends of both of them got shredded by the grating at the top of the escalator and I was walking around for a while with my (fortunately unharmed) toes sticking out the ends of them.

I’m 41 now and still wary on escalators. I carefully position my feet in the center of the stair and will hold up any long clothes like skirts that might get caught accidentally. My husband thinks it’s funny.
