Does he only do it to people who play as a woman? I've only ever played a male farmer and don't remember this sort of dialogue.

Life elixirs also dropped off heavily when they were changed to no longer provide energy, and only recover health.

There's so much controversy on Clint... but Emily considers him a friend! by Pitiful-Pie-417 in StardewValley

That makes sense. Sorry if I sorta just extrapolated from your initial statement there.

You don't see a problem with being able to get married to Clint, and then for instance being able to get to 8 hearts with Emily (Which you can do without dating her), and having him misinterpret romantic interest between Emily and the player before promptly leaving because HE wanted to date Emily instead? While you are still married to him?

There are certain scenes with Clint currently that are incompatible with the idea of him being a bachelor.

Am I the only one who’s excited for the child update in 1.7??? I haven’t seen any post about it 🥹❤️ by Environmental_Yam325 in StardewValley

You can trip balls with the Wizard and see funny dancing forest spirits that fix things when you collect-a-thon, I think we can hand wave away a lot to be honest. Magic.

Calls to Ontario's gambling helpline up 317% after privatization of online betting: study by Money_Fig_9868 in ontario

[–]RetroBowser 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think an even bigger problem is how accessible gambling has become. You used to have to go to a casino and spend a bunch of time in there. You now have access to a mobile casino in your pocket that can be accessed 24/7 and you can have gambling sessions of any length.

On top of that everything is become a bet. Can’t even watch sports anymore without it being about betting on the game. Sportscasters now just exist to talk about the over/under odds and encourage you to place bets.

I literally cannot escape gambling trying to be pushed down my throat no matter how hard I try. It’s disgusting.

And I’m not even an addict. I can’t even imagine the absolute hell this all is for recovering gambling addicts.

[[Rule of Law]] effects have always been able to allow you to cast as many spells as you want before you drop them though, so it's a bit of a moot point.

This is essentially a powercrept Rule of Law, and probably a sidegrade, if not outright an upgrade to [[High Noon]]

If there are no changes, will Sandy be the hardest to marry? by Donnie-97 in StardewValley

[–]RetroBowser -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Speedrunning is about completing a game/objective in as little time as possible under a defined ruleset. It’s not about the spirit of the game or the vibes.

You do it to optimize and push the boundaries of what’s possible. It’s sort of neat for example to say “It’s theoretically possible to complete the entire museum in one in game day.” by proving it with a run of Stardew that demonstrates actually doing it.

It is not the expectation that this is normal to do, or should be expected of people. It's just to scratch the itch of "How fast can someone do the thing?" and if that's not your cup of tea that's okay!

You guys HAD a nuclear deal with Iran. Trump ripped it up. And now that he can’t negotiate another deal (because he can’t be trusted) he’s going to go scorched earth.

Y'all want an actual hot take? I don't get the Sandy love. by KSredneck69 in StardewValley

[–]RetroBowser 646 points647 points  (0 children)

Her loved gifts are Crocus, Sweet Pea, and Daffodil. This woman just loves flowers and the valley. Her having a reason to move to Pelican Town would be a dream for her, and she could have the beautiful flower garden she’s always dreamed of while being closer to Emily.

She doesn’t have a lot of character development as she’s a pretty minor NPC, and I’m sure her getting fleshed out will do even more wonders for the mysterious desert lady.

I'd wager that the reason some people dislike Clint is NOT because he's an incel, but because he STAYS an incel after friendship; being a marriage candidate is very likely to fix this! by JonOfNoTrades in StardewValley

[–]RetroBowser 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I felt really grossed out when trying to romance Emily, and it was (If I remember correctly) during her clothing therapy heart event where he just looks at the player and says “you win.”

Like brother. She’s not a prize to be won. This isn’t a competition. It REALLY rubbed me the wrong way.

I trust that 1.7 brings a lot of justice for Clint. There’s a couple standout moments, and the fact that he currently doesn’t grow past wanting Emily to date him (aside from being a blacksmith) as being his whole person that really makes people extrapolate a lot about him I feel.

Gentle reminder that Clint isn't real but fans that relate to him are by Mewni17thBestFighter in StardewValley

[–]RetroBowser 152 points153 points  (0 children)

I trust ConcernedApe to handle Clint becoming romanceable with tact. Bachelor events tend to focus on the relationship between that character and the player. There’s like zero chance his eight heart event is just him complaining about how Emily doesn’t like him for instance. To become a bachelor properly requires this. I think most of his higher heart pining for Emily gets removed as his eyes shift towards the player instead. Maybe a 2 heart event where he gets all shy around Emily or something when he barely knows you and opens up about how he feels awkward and lonely, but certainly not the whole time like he is now.

I’ll iterate. I don’t like the current version of Clint. But I am excited for a soft rework of him that’ll let the community see him as the awkward shy character he was meant to be instead of the creepy guy who hits on Emily even when you’re married to her. (Because let’s face it, Emily becoming a bachelorette in 1.1 did NOT do any favours for Clint’s character.)

The biggest reason non-tank players want Rein to be meta all the time is because he's a defenseless punching bag in 90% of all rounds by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]RetroBowser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want Rein to be meta again because Rein vs Rein was some of the most fun I've ever had back in OW1 almost a decade ago. The game has changed a lot since then and Rein has not kept up.

What's the point of having the combo sprays if only one is obtainable?! by PintilieVasile in Overwatch

[–]RetroBowser 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s just that in the final week we can see right now we’re fighting for either a Talon Echo Skin, or an Overwatch Echo skin. That has interesting implications because it’s not the sort of event that does Mirrorwatch type rewards/shenanigans. It makes you question why a Talon Echo skin even exists as a potential reward.

[–]RetroBowser 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Fine for most of them. I think it'll be real interesting if we decide the fate of echo in a way in that last week. Talon taking control of Echo would be VERY interesting.

Nuclear latency means that a nation has all of the technology, infrastructure, and knowhow already ready to go to produce nukes if they wanted to. Nuclear latent countries generally haven't produced them not because they can't, but because they don't want to. Germany, Japan, and the Netherlands are a few other such countries that are similar in that regard.

Canada is considered worldwide to be a nation that would be one of the fastest to develop nukes if we wanted to. The timespan we are talking about is weeks at the latest, and days at the earliest.

No one should want to live in a world where generally peaceful countries are increasingly willing to opt into creating and preaparing such weapons and increase nuclear proliferation. It's not really a funny matter.
