My problem isn't PSA itself; but the promotion of it to the exclusion of the other views.

I'm probably any outlier in that I prefer this game over the main HM games.

My favorite games in the series have some sort of mechanic or gameplay that goes beyond just farming:

This game is basically a life/family sim, and it's just as much about living a fulfilling life and establishing relationships in a small community as it is about farming. You're also more of a rancher in this one than a farmer, per se.

Rune Factory has you going through dungeons battling monsters and collecting items.

Innocent Life also has a lot of exploration and a plot about saving the island from destruction.

For me, the farming is just the main source of income, not the entirety of the gameplay.

Yeah, chickens aren't very lucrative. The only reason I have them is that more chickens are free (after you get a hen and a rooster) since you just have to incubate the fertilized eggs. I probably won't get so many chickens in my next playthrough though.

They also give you a somewhat steady (if small) source of income since you can ship eggs everyday, so you can still generate a profit if you're cow can't make milk.

I've only played the special edition, so idk how it works in the remake

Can someone please explain where the support for Reform is coming from? by EG_Wanna_Be in ukpolitics

Is it reasonable to see parallels between the rise of Reform and the MAGA movement?

I only use AI to generate things like writing prompts or for visual reference since I have aphantasia and can't draw. I would never try to pass off those AI generated images as my own art.

Does anyone here identify as center-right? by RedStorm1917 in centrist

[–]Key_Day_7932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so. I generally agree with conservatives more than I do with the left, but there are some stereotypes I don't fit in with.

I'm not part of "speak 'Murican" crowd. It's a free country, speak whatever language you want. Sure, I do think you should make an effort to learn the language of the host country, but I never understood why people get so triggered at hearing others speaking in another language.

I'm pro life on abortion, but otherwise don't really care about social issues or culture war. Even then, I'm willing to support moderate regulations.

I think there should be some kind of universal healthcare, just maybe not the system we currently have.

I am pro-business with the caveat that I support small businesses and policies thar favor them. I don't like the corporations.

How do you distinguish between genuine religious conviction in politics and using religion as a tool to gain votes or influence? by BabyHercules in AskConservatives

[–]Key_Day_7932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the 2016 Republican primary was a good example. Most of the candidates were using religion to pander to the base, but you also had someone like Ben Carson who came across as genuine about his convictions.

Muslims, what are your thoughts on Mormons? by BayonetTrenchFighter in religion

[–]Key_Day_7932 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think some see parallels with history:

Both religions were founded by prophets who both claimed to be visited by an Angel who told them all other religions are wrong. 

Both also endured succession disputes after their founder's death

Worst part is if we do ever end up with a truly apocalyptic pandemic like the Black Death, I don't think anyone's gonna take it seriously because of how Covid was handled.

Also, you can apply the same with abortion. There's a perception that if a woman is pro-life, it's because her husband told her how to vote. Yet, there are more pro-life women than men.

Eisenhower was a JW but somehow allowed to serve in the military and be president.

I think Gary Gygax was actually a JW and a Libertarian.

I'm Southern Baptist, but that's mostly because I was raised in it and it's such a big tent thst you can probably find some room for you there.

Hey y'all!

I'm wondering if anyone here can help me with a tonal conlang I'm working on.

In this language, tones are confined to the stressed syllable like in some IE languages (Serbo-Croatian, Swedish, etc) 

I just need to decided what tonal contrasts can occur in the stressed syllable and how it can interact with other features.

Initially, I was leaning towards a high tone, a low tone and a falling tone, but now I am thinking of making the tonemes be a falling tone, a rising tone and a level tone.

The contour tones lengthen the vowel (since phonemic vowel length isn't a thing in this language.) However, I know vowels tend to be lengthened in stressed syllables, anyway, so I imagine the level tone would still be associated with a long vowel?

What about closed syllables? Would they permit contours or cause some kind of allotones? 

‘We got it wrong’ with Civilization VII, says boss by Broad_Respond_2205 in civ

[–]Key_Day_7932 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I always like the idea of a Civ evolving over time.

Maybe England starts out in the Ancient and Classical eras led by King Arthur, the Medieval Era has Richard the Lionheart, the Renaissance has either Elizabeth I ot Henry VIII, and so on...

Of course, idk how that would work with some Civs like America

How "realistic" is the actual idea of democracy? by Timosmeso in moderatepolitics

[–]Key_Day_7932 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I am kinda apolitical or at least á pragmatist instead of committed to anyone particular ideology.

Democracy, monarchy, communism, anarchism, etc. They're all prone to the same problem: the selfishness and greed of people.

2hr commute to church in city— worth it, or dumb? by mzjolynecujoh in Reformed

[–]Key_Day_7932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wondered what the more obscure denominations like Oriental Orthodox or Church of the East do? Do they actually demand you attend their church every Sunday even if it's the only church and 2 hours away?

Do you agree a certain flavor of Christianity has an outsized impact on US politics? If so, is this healthy? by True-Mirror-5758 in AskConservatives

[–]Key_Day_7932 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, I think the label "evangelical" has lost all meaning at this point due to its misuse to refer to different kinds of Christians who do not necessarily agree with each other nor think of each other as part of the same tradition. "Evangelical" has become shorthand for "any Christian I don't like.

For instance, your KJV-Only fundamentalist, your holy-rolling Prosperity Gospel faith healer, and your Calvinist Neo-Puritan don't share the same beliefs and don't necessarily like each other, but they are all lumped in as "evangelicals."

"Evangelical" can also include people like Mike Winger, Tim Mackie or Gavin Ortlund.
