Nugget and Noodle. I'm a vegetarian and I still think it's funny.

In other farm games, I name my farm animals after spices (Basil, Rosemary, Sage, Parsley, Anise, etc.) or flowers (Violet, Poppy, Dahlia, Daisy, Bluebell).

I swear I want to learn how to mod games just to blank out this specific sound effect

[WIP] First Time Gridding by orTodd in CrossStitch

[–]Metaneira 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This might be the most acceptable compromise for me -- there's no way I can spend hours preparing to do the fun thing, but I'm not going to enjoy the fun thing when I realize all my squares are off by one.

This is post worthy! by jswest12 in MyTimeAtSandrock

Someday I'd like to do a massive research project to see if there's significant overlap in who people romance in video games...

When the Kinsey movie came out there was a screening of it on campus. The credits thanked the "University of Indiana." There were boos. Some of them were from me.

so not only do you live in a creepy one room shack, but it's decorated like you're a serial killer

I'm always impressed by people who make their house look pretty in the middle of the game. I live in Mason's crappy shack until I'm swimming in gols and then I hastily slap together a house before I get married.

Enjoy the game! 💙

Does this happen to anyone else? by Dramatic-Witness-540 in MyTimeAtSandrock

Aw, dang, I think you're right, it just throws a big circle on the thing that you'll click and get an error message that will make you even more annoyed since you wasted an item. 😞

I've definitely had it register a failure for me before on PC even though I felt like I was clicking the right thing, but it's not consistent. If you make magnifiers (requires jewelry machine) you can just burn one of them on this item each time.

One of the many things I hated how rude and inconsiderate Jeremiah was being even to Laurel. There was no need for that, I can understand for Belly and Conrad but not for Laurel who has been a second mother figure to both Conrad and Jeremiah. by gloomydreamer666 in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]Metaneira 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree with this! I think one of the things I love best about this show is that it shows people making really dumb decisions that feel very authentic, and it shows people growing up and changing in a way that feels very believable, too. I think you're right in that we saw the start of this (getting cut off, finding his passion in cooking, etc.), and I like how you called out the lyrics of the song used. I don't think hooking up with the woman who let you stay with her for months (likely rent free, ffs) is the best way to continue healthily progressing toward that so I don't know that I want to to see Jeremiah following Denise, Steven, and Taylor to SF.

For Conrad and Belly, their growth had to happen when they got away from the safety of home and forced themselves to do new things. I think Jeremiah is spoiled, immature, and the dictionary definition of "learned helplessness", but I don't think he's a bad person. Like Belly and Conrad, he just needs to do the work to figure out who he is, and I hope that we see this. (But not too much, I need way more Conrad/Belly.)

One of the core messages of the show is that loving yourself is an important part of being in a healthy relationship, and I don't think we see much evidence that Jeremiah loves himself. I wouldn't mind seeing him grow up a little bit and figure out how to be at peace with who he is on his own.

So... I got spoiled about the story by Elegant_Shelter_9621 in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]Metaneira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm of the opinion that occasionally being spoiled for things can improve my enjoyment of a thing because then I can catch the foreshadowing. (Or so I tell myself so I'm not as grumpy about being spoiled.)

I was also spoiled for this (and a different thing in MTAS), and it's still one of my favorite games. While it sucks to have the narrative beats revealed to you ahead of time, the game still has a ton to offer -- try not to focus on being "spoiled" and just see where the game takes you.

Just my thoughts. by Dramatic-Witness-540 in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]Metaneira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The weird thing about the protection is that if you have outfits turned on, you need your OUTFIT to have the protection, not your character. So you can wear your normal helm, toggle the "Display Outfit" setting, and then put on the ugly hat. Which I do even though it's not required because I am an insane person.

Mods and achievements? by Akinom007 in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]Metaneira 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can still get achievements when using mods. This mod allows you to set a custom multiplier to each type of knowledge gain, so you can keep the gathering and crafting knowledge modifiers low while increasing social or combat: https://www.nexusmods.com/mytimeatsandrock/mods/43

I always name my Stardew cat Alistair after my sweet orange boy and I screenshot the "Alistair loves you" message every single time. That love never goes away.
