meta] this is a well-written comment that makes and argues several points relevant to the post and yet it got more downvotes than upvotes, which imho is some bullshit /meta]

mental health, physical health, i don't even need a third thing those two would likely fix all my problems...

In hindsight my hypothesis seems pretty silly now yeah. Squirrel and rabbit aren't really considered rich people food here in Pennsylvania, that's for sure :P Rabbit is delicious. Still have yet to try squirrel as I don't know any hunters (I'd gotten the rabbit from a farmer's market)

Your gramps was a champ. The most useful thing I ever brought home around 9 years old was wild garlic.

If you don't already, a good thing to own is a road atlas of your country.

I also have been wanting an astronomical almanac that would have info like sunrise/sunset times (got that idea from I Am Legend), and various other sky stuff data I don't know how to use for timekeeping and navigation but would like to learn :] My lack of expertise (ok, maybe also motivation) has prevented me from finding one.

There used to be agricultural almanacs also, with recommended planting dates. I looked into the extant USA ones (Old Farmer's and Farmer's) but they seem to have devolved into something more like annual rustic-themed magazines with barely any useful info... :[

I own this one, as well as Dartnell's The Knowledge: How to Rebuild Our World from Scratch because I am a massive tech history nerd. (I'd love the idea of being able to survive a collapse but I'm too self-aware of my insufficient physical fitness for that, lol.)

Also for those who've not heard of the BBC series Connections, it's AWESOME. More useful for entertainment than as a reference, but the first episode literally explores the question "what would a single human have to do to survive if modern life suddenly became unavailable?" Here are all the episodes on Archive.org.

My guess would be the meat to prep work ratio. Smaller game seems like it would be more effort to skin and clean vs. larger ones like turkeys and deer. Just a guess however, anyone know for sure?

[MUFFLED JETSET RADIO THEME IN DISTANCE]

hell yeah!! :D

thanks to this lovely FOSS project it can be played on linux and even Android :) I've been playing Space Funeral on my phone with it. Actually if you like psychedelic rock, you'd probably love Space Funeral's music too.

yeah OFF's soundtrack doesn't have a lot of tracks, and several are rather minimalist ambient music, but it's all very unique and it fits the game perfectly. The main battle theme, Pepper Steak, is so catchy that my mom requested I add it to her phone as her ringtone for me 🤭

I would argue the gameplay falls short of revolutionary. Several parts are frustrating but 90% of the time it's a decent balance of rewardingly challenging timing & platforming vs. "press X and just watch your character do the sickest flip, yo" dumb fun.

The killer tunes, kickass visuals (one of the best early cel shaded games), lighthearted but spunky lore and just overall vibe make it a genuine classic. If you're on the fence about it opt for Jetset Radio Future, as its an entire console gen worth of polished vs. the original and imho the music is even better.

Earthbound and Mother 3 could be exactly what you're looking for. There's just nothing quite like them OST, story, and gameplay wise.

Little Nightmares and Little Nightmares 2 also have excellent music that perfectly complement their soul-squeezing visuals and gameplay.

Portal 2 has very little music but it is GOOD, and perfectly timed to key moments in the story. Also top notch unique gameplay, obvs.

Skyrim music is iconic for a reason.

OFF's music is similarly iconic and its story and visuals so unique and engaging you'll likely forgive it for being unapologetically RPG-maker. The latest English translation (3.0) is considered the most faithful to the original French.

FRACT OSC is a "musical exploration game" where you directly influence the soundtrack by interacting with a beautiful, surreal puzzle landscape with Tron-like visuals.

~20 min clicking through the wikipedia page on Opera seems to suggest you're correct, most of them were middle class or poor

huh. til

1. you're right about all the contradictions in the Bible
2. drop everything and immediately begin learning Java and Python. if you get good enough you can skip college entirely and save years of emotional hell
3. convince mom to let you quit the instruments you hate playing and do computer extracurriculars instead
4. buy bitcoin sell in Nov '21 lol (or just invent it)
5. learn Mandarin Chinese, not Japanese. also maybe chill w/ the weeb shit
6. move to NYC as soon as you can and DO NOT LEAVE even if there's a scary pandemic because you won't be able to afford to move back and you'll miss it real bad :(
7. BUY AN EARTHBOUND CARTRIDGE BEFORE THEY BECOME UNOBTAINABLY EXPENSIVE 😭

↑ i made a dumb comment about how it might be in the southern hemisphere but then i remembered that's their summer not their winter

[southern hemisphere staring at you]

edit: im dumb it's summer down there when it's winter up here

no time for distro wars if you're too busy hunting down drivers and unbreaking everything :]

(debian still best distro tho)

That's what I assumed, but why ass-ume when I live in the information age 😁

Ah! This is true and more precise

I had to look up whether gunpowder requires oxygen to burn (it doesn't)
