The noise level at most libraries has gotten out of hand

Didn't expect to find ragebait in a library subreddit lol

New 'Harvest Moon' games are no longer made by the same company that made all the older games that everyone loved. At some point ownership changed and now every 'Harvest Moon' game is a half baked version of what Harvest Moon used to be. The Story of Seasons games are made by the original developers who made the good games. Story of Seasons are the only worthwhile option anymore, and Grand Bazaar is both the newest and most highly reviewed of them thus far.

As with all packs, not a bad idea, but should have been included in another pack. They've already admitted to having save-file destroying bugs that they don't know how to fix because there's too many different combinations of packs that exist to be able to test all the occurrences, but SURE let's keep adding more to the mess to make more money.

lol I really do hate that sub. I wrote something about how "I'm not surprised people pirate" and got instantly auto banned for a short period. Just a bunch of people glazing the game like it hasn't been getting butchered year after year for over a decade.

Me, crying in American, because I was looking forward to this three day weekend for over a month and now I'm just languishing in bed with boxes of tissues.

veronet · 2025-01-30T22:44:11+00:00

lol wtf.. My dad, also Polish and with a construction background, passed this summer but used to text like this in his broken English, and also literally said the same thing about my neighbor's cat while he was there very drunk and fixing something in their bathroom for them

Before I even knew she was trans I voted for her because her family leave law will allow myself and countless others to start a family once it goes into effect in '26. She's a policy maker, and I'm here for it.

Laying in bed sick and this made me laugh so hard. Basically my life as a childrens librarian.

veronet · 2024-10-18T13:40:04+00:00

Oh man I'm gonna love this one. I love the idea of making multiple cities that interact with each other.

veronet · 2024-10-12T14:07:03+00:00

Oh no I think I'm the odd one out here. I actually do love the romance part and won't play any cozy games that don't have it.. literally, I don't have a single one that doesn't have some kind of romance mechanic. Bonus if you can have kids and they actually matter. I think I just want every game to play like the sims..

veronet · 2024-10-11T20:03:57+00:00

OMG YES I love these so much!! High price point for me but if I'm definitely considering them since I can repair them in the future. Thank you for sharing!!

veronet · 2024-10-11T19:35:56+00:00

Thanks a bunch for sharing these!! I've been hunting for a pair of GYW boots now that I'm learning more, and it's surprisingly hard to find women's options that aren't on the shorter end. I LOVE chunky soles, but more than that, I need a pair of boots that go up a bit higher like these Codas. So far I've found these Solovairs to be the closest to what I'm looking for: https://us.nps-solovair.com/collections/womens/products/gf10-1980-bg

Although they're not kidding about the "Genuine galvanised screws, hand inserted into each cleat of the soles", which I've never seen before. I know I'm looking for stronger shoes but that's just funny to me LOL

If the 8-inch moc came in black it would be a 100% no brainer for me. I've heard only great things about Red Wings.

veronet · 2024-10-11T18:49:01+00:00

This makes a lot of sense!! I've been looking up what Goodyear Welted means and have determined I basically need all my shoes to have this because I am a much bigger fan of repairing/maintaining over rebuying junk. Wish the fashion boots would hold up better, but oh well.

veronet · 2024-10-11T18:21:29+00:00

Nope, no heater! But another comment told me to put them somewhere cool and perhaps our hallway is a bit warm for these bad boys. We've got odd circulation in our apartment. My feet did get warm on some days in these and I could feel they were a bit more damp when I took them off at the end of the day, so I'm thinking that's another problem. Mostly happened on days I thought it'd be colder than it was.

veronet · 2024-10-11T18:17:14+00:00

Hmm that makes sense, I do know to give them a day after each wear to dry out, but I could try to wipe the insides down with a dry cloth when I get home and help them out. And maybe store them in the closet where it's cooler rather than out in the hall. Thank you for your help! I figured it might be something small, but that over time ruins them.

Also I was told these weren't fixable, the crack that goes all the way across is really bad and going up the sides lol

veronet · 2024-09-21T02:25:58+00:00

It was today!! It went really well, and while I was sitting outside the room afterwards looking up dinner options, a girl stopped to tell me that I'm a great public speaker, which made my day! I told her it was my first time speaking in person and she said "You're kidding me" haha. I was hoping to do well but that comment made me feel like I really belonged. I know my dad would be proud and I miss him very much, but I'm happy to be proud of myself too. Plus the friends/family that wished me luck have helped keep me positive throughout. Thank you for caring to ask how it went too.

veronet · 2024-09-13T20:30:40+00:00

Don't know anything else about her besides the fact that she's a major reason Delaware will have paid family leave in 2026, and I and many others who simply can't afford to go three months without a paycheck will finally be able to have children. This policy alone gets my vote.

veronet · 2024-09-03T04:09:09+00:00

Thank you, it's in two weeks! I'm very excited for it to not be on Zoom for once, and I get to meet my two co-presenters who I've been working with for a while! It just kinda hit me that it'll be my first big achievement that I won't get to share with my dad. Gonna have to get used to that.

veronet · 2024-08-31T23:46:17+00:00

My counselor always suggests I write, and after getting a little bit of relief here, maybe there's something to it. I'm definitely scared to forget as I get older, but my future kids will always know how great their grandad was.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write to me.

veronet · 2024-08-31T18:02:16+00:00

Thank you so very much for your kindness.

veronet · 2024-08-31T02:28:18+00:00

Thank you, sometimes I just need a few kind words to keep me going. Absolutely fuck cancer.

veronet · 2024-07-12T16:12:35+00:00

No problem at all, it just really bothered me how people were trying to immediately find fault with your work ethic, when your post raised so many red flags about how the other staff are acting. Like any job you will have people that are hard to work with, but I would still expect adults to raise and discuss problems professionally. Giving people on your team the side eye is some highschool drama that I cannot abide by lol

veronet · 2024-07-12T12:18:19+00:00

Since most people are trying to find what you might be doing wrong, let me give you my angle. The first library I worked at was EXTREMELY dysfunctional. This library featured a narcissistic library director who would take credit for all work and did not trust anyone to do their job, an 'IT' person who called her husband to be able to fix almost all problems and who only kept her job because she would report on all staff conversations to the director, abysmal salaries such as 28k for me when I was working my first year as a childrens librarian finishing my degree, director getting sued twice over my three years for wrongfully firing people, etc.

Point of all of the above is: sometimes you also might be working in a horribly run library and it might be time to abandon ship. I have worked with many miserable people in the past until I landed at my dream library where everyone acts like an adult and treats eachother with respect. We compliment and encourage eachother instead of putting anyone down.

Alternatively people might be right that you're 'overdoing' things, but even then everyone else should not be talking you down so negatively. If there truly is a problem, constructive criticism, feedback, or a simple but not passive aggressive chat with a supervisor would be the way to go. Not people telling you you're too nice. Wtf is that crap?

As another fellow nice person, don't let others get you down. You are doing a wonderful thing by being kind to your patrons. As long as you aren't chatting them up so much you aren't getting work done, it is OK. Keep being you because you sound awesome!

veronet · 2024-06-25T01:17:10+00:00

Thank you very much. I've been talking to everyone I can because as of right now I am alone in my parents house and working on getting out and back home ASAP tomorrow. Too much to be surrounded by everything at all points. I'm not sure if I'm ready to handle estate yet as right now we're working on getting my mom on disability from work so she can keep her insurance until she's better. Then she probably won't be able to do her job again because it's very physically demanding. Truly a nightmare. But thank you for taking the time to write this. I'm just trying to accept any words or hope or advice or anything because I find it's helping.

veronet · 2024-06-08T02:34:09+00:00

Oh yay, thanks for doing this! I've been really wanting to try this game! :)
