  When the creator of Stardew Valley can charge $14 for his awesome game, and put it on multiple platforms and release updates for jo extra cost, and not charge subscription fees, and everyone can mod it and be happy, and the creator has made multimillions by now … Other companies need to take note.

  From someone who worked at a company who wasted tons of money and had too many parties, excess staff and ceos who made excessive salaries, if these gaming companies are charging too much they need to look internally instead of asking their customers to fuel their greed.

  I also had a career in tech. I’m a woman. I’ve been stepped on, harassed, disrespected. I’m just a country girl who tried to fit in the big city. And I did for awhile. But then all the layoffs, and the last company I was at just keeled over from insufficient funding, while the ceos had a ton of money and we had all these luncheons and outside training weekends. So wasteful. Disillusioned, I didn’t want to go back.

  I also wanted a farm. If you’re young and strong still, do it. I’m 60 now. We were unable to obtain that farm. I guess it was meant to be. I still hope for a super mini something - some chickens and a coupla goats or a mini cow or something. You get tired after 60 and try to downsize and reduce what you do to just what’s important.

  Regarding no electricity etc - be realistic and balanced. Don’t make it hard on yourself. Go get your farm in the country, but do yourself and family a favor and have a proper bathroom, running water and electricity with internet. Nobody really likes pooping in those compost toilets or having to hand pump a well for water or garden 😀 and while you may think it’s okay if you’re strong and young believe me in 20 years which goes by fast you’ll be wanting decent plumbing and electric and will likely be grateful for some internet.

  I have so many. Would you like some? 😀 Most of them I’ll never read again and I’d love to see them go to a good appreciative home. I’ve collected them since I was a child, since Star Trek books started coming out. I may have some of the late 60’s books but I definitely have a bunch from the 70’s. I don’t have all the collections, just random ones I was interested in getting. I stopped buying when I went to college. Then when DS9 came out, I started reading them again after the series finished. I need to see if there are more of the story continuation I don’t have. I would love to read those.

  One I think about from time to time wasn’t a novel. It was memoirs about the conventions. I wanted to go to one desperately but I was just a kid. I never told my folks - they’d never take me to something like that. I always dreamed of one coming to my hometown. Then I went to school, and career, got married and had kids. My daughter liked Voyager. We lived in a major city locale and I took her to some conventions.

  Then the unbelievable happened. A ST convention came to my hick hometown. My childhood dream come true - even though I no longer lived there. We went home, and met James Doohan, Michelle Nichols, and George Takei, and another actress (the one on the episode where they age rapidly, and she died). I never knew until I got older, she was on several Westerns and I wish I could have talked with her about those! She’s passed now.

  Anyway that’s the only convention I ever think about, even though we attended a good many. That one in my boonies hometown was very special.

  I’m pretty sure multivitamins help me in one way - to help prevent me from catching colds and flus easily. I noticed this years ago when my kids were young. I would take one of the chewable kids vitamins daily through autumn and winter. Several winters I did not get sick. I’ve not done it since - every day, one kids vitamin. I switched to adult multis but I think they’re an expensive overload and didn’t seem to help. But chewable kids were too sugary for my teeth. Now they have the xylitol ones. I may try again this season.
