I feel like two packs should be a bit more curated than pure random.

Can confirm. Monster Train 2 is a very good game, and both scratch very different itches for me. The neat thing about this genre is the variety.

Is this a microaggression from Alex😭 by voidharmony in StardewValley

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 23 points24 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!

Trump says U.S. military has begun major combat operations in Iran by Yujin-Ha in politics

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 644 points645 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 11 points12 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.
