I usually browse /all with anything politics and technology filtered out. It’s pretty much just Trek, Porn, and Boomer comics. I really don’t think fediverse is ready to branch out yet.

I mean, I get it’s inappropriate to be like “what about men”. It’s pretty clear they are talking about blanket judging straight women for Perry’s actions. “Not ALL straight women” - ya see?
In my experience though, they lean towards harassing gay men over queer women. 😅

I have been called weird or passive aggressive for using punctuation in my text messages. Why do we cater to these people? Why do I care about the opinion of someone who takes to heart whether I use an exclamation point or period at the end of a sentence? It should have been their problem to learn to not make assumptions.

Oh yeah, I didn’t think RS was very popular before RS2 so I wasn’t aware they made an original RS server later on.

I didn’t finish 4 personally either, but it was my 5th time playing the same themes if the Wii entry is included. Fans of the series claim 4 to be the best plot and say it’s the most fleshed out- the longest of the entries’ stories apparently.
The first game is still my favorite as it was fresh then, it had a lot of QOL at the time that Harvest Moon didn’t yet.
The only unique farming mechanic in the game was that the different dungeons and temples had different climates allowing you to grow crops out of season in them. The dungeons have variety, and contain different creatures, but nothing too complex that it stops being a cozy game.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Concerned Ape took the inspiration of combat in the mine from Rune Factory, Stardew combat is like a simple version of it. (RF having more weapon variety, Magic Spell casting, and Monster taming. The lite fantasy RPG elements are what made me stick around).
The first one has a much simpler story, I think you should try it out, but the second entry lets you play as your child that you have with your spouse which is refreshing once you’re that far in the game. So that might be up your alley too!

Vintage gaming?? Runescape??
I played during the height of it’s Runescape 2 popularity in middle school and I don’t think I’m that antique yet. 😭 Minecraft released while I was a high schooler playing alpha and the kids still like it!! I’m not old!
RuneScape’s age shows more I think because it was entirely playable in a browser window (which came with its limitations). Aside from having a hefty chunk of free content, this is what I credit its success to.
My poor self was happy to be playing anything on the, even at the time, old family PC. A choppy fps low polygon RPG on a java game, because that’s all I could afford, was quite swell after school with my friends online. Anyone could just pull it up on theirs, no DL.
It was accessible and didn’t require a lot of machine power. It’s got a player base today not because it’s a fantastic game, but because there’s a lot of people who are nostalgic for it.

If you like Stardew, try out the series Rune Factory. They are very similar games only Rune Factory has a JRPG aesthetic and plot. With some light monster collecting to replace livestock.
- Comment on Why is Fallout New Vegas considered a very transy game? 3 days ago:
For the same reason the Blahaj is a trans mascot. Trans people said so. No real reason, it just happened enough it became a meme and then people took it in all seriousness.

Miniclip, Newgrounds, and similar felt more like mini games.
For free and in browser with some actual progression, I can think of RuneScape and those Artix Adventure Quest series games. I played both, but Runescape definitely felt like more of a complete game with 3D models and all.
God, I had forgotten how bad those Artix games were til I remembered them just now.

Runescape also was a free game at a time when those weren’t really common. I honestly can’t think of any others with the scope of RS.
Not only was it free, it ran entirely in a browser window.
That’s how it managed to build its player base, and it coasts on that nostalgia to this day.
- Comment on Batman fans, would you want to see a TV-MA Batman show where it takes inspiration from the Silver Age? 3 days ago:
“Would you want to see an adaptation of an influential era of Batman comics unrestricted by a TV-14 rating?”
Good grief fellow Batman fan, you should really be nerding out in the lemmy DC communities if you haven’t found them yet.

There was a time where it seemed AAA game developers and publishers released games that attempted to extract cash from the population by releasing a game that was such a quality experience that people will pay for it.
Oh well.

A lot of people don’t have the artistic capability and aren’t willing to put in the effort to make an entire diverse yard landscape look good, let alone maintain it. Now, when well done, of course a diverse yard can also look great.
But, it’s not like you can just neglect your yard and mother nature will bless you with a beautiful ecosystem in time because of your good intentions. You’re going to be dealing with dead shit, non-native weeds, non-native insects. And depending on where you live there might not be a whole lot of anything lively to look at entirely naturally occurring.
You have me curious what your landscape looks like if you are a homeowner.

Unless I misunderstood and you’re genuinely asking the person you replied to, but, careful, seems like a closeted Karen if ya ask me.

I think monoculture lawns look really cool and doubly so if they are neat and clean with some nice landscaping to pair. It can be gorgeous.
Unfortunately, it’s unethical, unsustainable, and I will avoid it myself, but to say it looks bland and stupid seems like your prerogative is to shame other people into doing the right thing. Which, good luck with that.
