Write as you see fit your story should be. You can’t please both greeks and trojans. If you think a given character is necessary, put them in your story.

And taking a risk of sounding ignorant and out of touch: why such concern for skin colors?

Damn…

Somewhere in the future there will be an information leak or some other reliable source of information from which it will be made known that at some point Nintendo lost years of code due to pure incompetence of some bored employee (even better if an executive ordered the destruction of such data on basis of being obsolete) and had to viciously attack this creator and their site in order to attain a viable way to rebuild their original technology, after realizing people want to play old titles.

party pizza

this is going to sound strange but I’m not even aware of what that implies

I live in a simple place: pizza comes in small, medium and large. Anything else, you order and pay it by weight/ingredients.

Try doing some real physical labor, alone, with basic hand tools, outside, under the sun, then report back.

I’m a city boy moved to the country and went all cocky I could do and landed on my face. It gets scary when you see the world wobble in front of your eyes from exertion.

It may be oversimplified and exeggerated but for someone unaccostumed to hard physical labor it is gruelling.

It’s the worst part of the game for myself, honestly. Feels unnecessary in a game like Stardew Valley, the part of having monsters and combat.

I could understand a mechanic of having to explore mines deeper in order to find large quantities of metals for making items and making such exploration dangerous (gas, cave ins, narrow passages, hard labirynths, exhaustion, etc) but monsters doesn’t cut it for me.

You can bribe the ghost with a diamond (placed on the shrine, if memory serves me well) and have it come back to reappraise your accomplishments.

I wasn’t even aware what it was and every single result the search engine returned was around the lines of “recipe for a cake to serve to a large number of people”.

You usually make a recipe to be small and just multiply the volume of ingredients in order to serve more.

not the other way around

You made me find what a sheet cake was and I am sincerely horrified.

As a wannabe author, I could only be so lucky to get my work “pirated”. Free publicity.

Sand and lack of oil.

Smart ass replies aside, if I’m low on sleep, anything - and I do mean anything - has the potencial to grind my gears.

That is actually a good thing?

So, what we should take from this is that any foray into any art is useless, therefore we should surrender any and all creative impulse to faceless companies.

Fuck no.

I’d rather distribute my work for free and have it read and enjoyed nonetheless than not write at all.

They accomplish that and the already diminutive presence they have in the world will shrink even more.

If that is enough for your needs, that’s fine.

from the moment you realize just how easy and powerful using the console is, you learn how to use it

Yes, I understand that; there is a learning curve. For some, too steep.

The short answer is yes. But the interesting part - and I’m talking from personal experience - is that from the moment you realize just how easy and powerful using the console is, you learn how to use it.

And it does not mean you are going to turn into a full on expert or geek, tinkering around the console. You just learn a few simple commands that enable you to do something (or somethings) quicker, easier and cleaner than going through a GUI.

Can you? Yes. Should you? No.

I’ve seen a Makita eletric brush cutter with an adapter to plug straight into a standard outlet. The person who bought the machine told me it was more expensive than a battery pack but at least it made the machine usable for longer periods of time when energy is available.

Aliens took them, obviously. What else? What other logical, rational, simple explanation could there be?

I really doubt that much rock can’t find any other use except being dumped into the ocean.
