I managed to get into Stardew after some insistence, but I also struggled with this for a long time and I know exactly why in my case after coming back to harvest moon for a bit: the player character is too slow. You spend soooo much time walking and unlike HM/RF you don’t have a sprint button, so everything becomes more stressful to do.

I know it might seem weird but older monster Hunter games works for me

I’m currently going through chemo treatment. I’ve been very lucky so far since I had very mild side effects and my chemo protocol is very intense. In my opinion, the best thing you can do is be available for visits whenever she has the energy for it. My godmother also went through a harsh treatment and multiple surgeries, and she said she felt constantly lonely, and even though I’m a very “home” person, I also miss seeing some friends a bit more than usual.

If you want to ask anything feel free to, I don’t mind talking about it.

Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death.

It’s not as bad as I expected.

Idk what you mean by ancillary pieces. I have a phone. That’s it. Nothing additional.

Why would I? My phone works fine tyvm

That we’ll probably only know after someone tries to test all the features without an active internet connection

It’s both local and remote, according to their page. There are some activities that run on a “private cloud”. I’d imagine that image creation is one of those

When I was a teen I really wanted to learn Esperanto but never got around to it. Globasa seems extremely interesting though, maybe I’ll finally give one of these languages a try.

The most hilarious part is the drummer stating that most SoaD music is not about politics, and people only think it is because of Serj’s activism

Public/gvt housing.

I’m both curious and clueless about what “geared towards inventory” could possibly mean

I honestly can’t deal with all the theatrics of securing a job (interview and first months/year included). This was a setback at first since when people asked me stuff I didn’t know I’d just say “I don’t know” or at most “I heard this and that but never worked with it”.

Thankfully I ended up at a place that appreciated that frankness and that gives me room (and incentive) to learn new stuff. Every year so far I end up in a new project with different technologies to use and learn. My ADHD brain is extremely satisfied.

I play videogames

If I use streamlink or similar to watch there are no ads. At least, I have yet to see one.

What stops me from moving away from discord is the in-server game streaming. If something ever shows up with performance parity on that and the possibility of spinning up my own server I’ll drop discord in a second. So far I haven’t found it

How do you get a loan to start a business if you don’t have enough capital to begin with? It’s not that simple, it’s not on the interest of banks to invest on small businesses, because it’s comparable higher risk and they are profit driven.

they can’t

Ah yes of course, that must be why no one ever finds people under working conditions analogous to slavery under capitalist states. Ever. Never happened.

I’m trying to take this thread seriously, but my man you sound so naive it hursts. I live in a global south country and the ammount of damage done to my society due to both capitalism and imperialism (which benefit from each other, you can’t fully separate them) is revolting. You need to read more and travel more.

It’s not a failure of government when the government effectively serves the ruling class (i.e capitalists). It’s a feature, not a bug.

Why should it work? Capitalism by definition works against the free market because it favors monopolization. You need heavy regulations to slow that down at the very least.
