The initial appeal for me was that I enjoyed harvest moon, except for how the old tech made the experience of playing it suck so bad, I couldn't replay it. It was annoying doing any of the basic tasks like switching tools iirc. so there was a huge opening in the market for a new harvest moon that wasn't annoying to play. And where you were allowed to be gay.
So the initial buzz came from that, imo. the people who wanted a new harvest moon game were like 'wow, finally!' and then word of mouth did its thing. these days, nostalgia for it specifically drives people back to play, along with extensive modding and occasional free updates keeping things fresh.
i think other people can explain better why the harvest moon formula itself is so appealing, but i just think it's interesting how an indie game can get so popular by just being like "what if i made this big corporation game people want a new entry from, but fixed the stuff in it that sucks?'
Good to know! There's no risk of running into coconut in this coconut hating household, but i like knowing what i should dive-roll off the couch to get the cat out of, and what i should get up normally and take away
of course checking with a vet is best but with some quick checking it seems like small amounts of coconut is fine but too much will cause digestive issues and other problems because it's fatty
Does lemmy have a function to block words? if you can't stop yourself from discussing it when you see the word, it might benefit you to not see it for a while. i've been there.
Ever think about how many children's lives this guy could save if he was capable of figuring out he was wrong and telling people? A lot of people wouldn't follow him, but some would.
They know it's trump's fault but they voted for him so they have to say biden was just as bad for the economy to justify their decision to themselves. That's my theory.
In March, she and Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court’s three liberal justices in holding that Elon Musk’s nebulous cost-cutting initiative DOGE could not unilaterally freeze $2 billion in congressionally approved aid for work that had already been completed.
“She is evil, chosen solely because she checked identity politics boxes,” Cernovich wrote. “Another DEI hire. It always ends badly.”
Notably, Roberts was not accused of being a turncoat—just Coney Barrett.
Hmmmm wonder why. Man, she did her job and got roe v wade overturned, and they'll still outright call her "evil."
There's a limit to how carefully you can word things to protect its meaning from people determined to read it in bad faith. I have it too - the desire to be long winded to preemptively protect myself from misunderstanding. But there's a risk that we'll turn everything we say into long blocks of soft useless mush. There's no precision precise enough to be safe.
We have to, I think, decide to write for people willing to reach for us when we hold out a hand. There are enough willing to try that any general misunderstandings can be clarified with conversations other people can read if they want to understand. If enough of us are willing to do this for each other, it might be possible to build spaces where people who slap that outheld hand away don't have to dictate conversation. And maybe we can both be less wordy.
Is this something that's relatively fool proof to do? I'm very good at imagining disasters. That's the big mental block I got when I thought about dual booting before.
I'm somewhat open to the idea, but the thought of messing up and not having any computer other than my phone until i figure it out is tough to get over.
I can't afford a new computer right now and tariffs meaning higher prices means I can't anticipate affording one in the near future. My plan is to see where everything's at when they stop doing updates. Unfortunately.
Polish! I never really thought about why she did it. That's really neat! I'll have to ask dad if that's what inspired her to make them. We inherited them, and had a little stand, but she had a whole elaborate display I wish I could remember clearly.
We made pretty the eggs we would've boiled and eaten anyway. The week after easter we'd be all 'dad, you ate the one i wanted to eat!!' because we decorated it the prettiest so it was ours. It was incredibly rare the eggs didn't get eaten. We also had hollowed out eggshells my grandmother painted that we'd put in a place of honor every year.
