  Conventional economic theory holds that a small, consistent level of inflation is the most beneficial. In short, you don’t want hoarding cash to be a smart long term economic decision, you want more of that money invested/moving in the economy. I recommend reading about the Japanese deflation in the 90s if you’re curious what the effects of even relatively moderate deflation can be.

  Stardew allows people to achieve their dreams that are unrealistic in the real world, like -

  Home ownership

  Finding friends and community in a new place

  Finding love

  Evicting their local walmart and replacing it with a cinema

  Escaping the fresh hell of late stage capitalism (or becoming the very worst proponent of it, sometimes somehow both)

  I would sub in like maybe Darkest Dungeon 2 over Frostpunk? Less well received but still better than any of the other three. Both were distinct changes of pace, darkest dungeon just sold its soul to the epic games store and lost the bond you formed with characters over a long campaign in exchange for the roguelite shorter runs.

  If you accept Disney is absolutely going to continue milking Star Wars no matter what, I think exploring Vader on screen a little more isn’t the worst path they could go down. Lots of interesting Legends material to pull from, as it stands I don’t think we’ve gotten any content around Vader before ANH besides Kenobi and Rebels? I’d be cautiously interested to see how they handled telling a story from his perspective.

  But have you considered the other platforms that aren’t GOG suck.

  I want things on a platform that is either utterly unobtrusive, or useful. Unfortunately, that means either steam or GOG.

  There is a distinct type of person, very good at one thing, that is unable to understand that doesn’t translate to the rest of their life. Easiest to describe them as a high int, low wis character.

  One of the few things I go back to the old site for is /r/eatcheapandhealthy - you need the time to make the food, but you can make very little cash go a long way, especially if you’re buying beans/lentils/oats dried and soaking them overnight rather than buying canned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the USA simply have no food safety standard at all?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cooking a food in a sealed plastic bag is referred to as “Sous Vide”, and was invented in 1974 by the french. It can also be performed in a glass jar, so we definitely could remove the plastic from the equation, but there are “food safe plastics” which have been demonstrated to have no known health issues when used for this purpose.

  Some plastics, like BPA or PVC, are dangerous to consume/do easily leach into food/water, but “plastic” is a very broad term that refers to a lot of different materials.

  Note: microplastics are a whole different story, and we’re not really sure how bad they are for you. It is perfectly reasonable to ask the question, but society at large has essentially decided the convenience outweighs the risk, and good luck trying to avoid it in your food.

  What’s giving you trouble? Combat just takes some getting used to, but you also need to recognize when you’ve got too much heat and bail - you walk faster than the zombies, after all. Walk into the woods, do a big loop, and come back out with maybe 3-4 zeds still on your tail.

  3 was great, 4’s biggest improvement was functional multiplayer. I have core memories of hunting every animal that moved from the side of a gyrocopter piloted poorly by a very inebriated bud.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nuclear⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  almost certainly no private investment in nuclear in the future

  I too refuse to read any news, ever, if it doesn’t support my viewpoint. Definitely no current investments in nuclear at the moment.

  I like wind and solar! They’re not the whole of the solution for the whole globe though. There’s no reason to keep spreading the fossil fuel industry’s propaganda for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nuclear⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re so right - we should just pump all our crap out into the biosphere instead and keep burning coal.

  How greedy of the man, to checks notes admit to not wanting to make a cash grab and instead leaving the series unfinished because they didn’t think they could do it justice.

  Most power generation is just steam spinning turbines. Solar’s just weird. Wind cuts out the steam loop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Planet Coaster 2 review⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As much as I hate being a corporate shill: ask yourself this. Is the game worth the asking price with no DLC? You don’t have to buy every DLC, that’s just the cost of the additional game development time. And maybe the game isn’t worth the price now, but in two years you can probably pick it and a few of the best DLCs up for the same price as it is now and get your money’s worth.

  Sun haven was a pleasant experience. Rather than automating farming, I just cause earthquakes and rainstorms to plow and water respectively. My only complaint is my thumb hurting from constantly air dashing around.
