For whatever reason, our brains developed the inclination/compulsion to imagine scenarios which greatly improved our odds of survival in the wild. In a biological sense, I figure stories and the like trigger that reward center in a way. Why people like different stories would come down to brain chemistry.

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

Ech@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic Portal 2 as Steam’s top-rated gameEnglish2·13 days agoTo 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.
Ech@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic Portal 2 as Steam’s top-rated gameEnglish2·13 days agoSorry, 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.

Ech@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic Portal 2 as Steam’s top-rated gameEnglish3·14 days agoI never understand why anyone puts together those massive 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.

Tay was an accident. This is the result of the team behind it trying to get it to align with its owner, with a predictable outcome.

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.
Ech@lemmy.cato Today I Learned (TIL)@lemmy.ca•TIL that only seven countries make up more than half of the world's human population7·16 days agoMore interesting, imo - China and India host over a third of the world population. Each host more than the next five combined.
Ech@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them allEnglish5·17 days agoAAA 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.
Also, .ee is the TLD for Estonia.
They’re trying to insinuate that the accusations on them are of the same legitimacy of those they’ve been throwing at everyone for decades.
If their claims are rebuked as baseless, they’ll call the claims against them baseless as well. If the claims against them are said to be substantiated, they’ll point to their claims and suggest the same. It’s the “tails I win, heads you lose” of a political scheme.
