Stardew Valley. Maybe I will find love one day but until then my crops need watering.

Actually the new game by the Neko Atsume people Tabikaeru is about a frog who goes on froggy adventures and that's what I want in life. Leave home for a few months, come back to settle in for a bit, do it all over again.

the only good stardew valley npc is the goth girl who hangs out in the cemetary and eats rocks and has a chrono trigger poster in a room

i relate to her

The Colonel posted:

it's a story about a lonely, depressed 18 year old with levitation powers and a teenage girl with super strength meeting a group of weirdos and fighting supreme evil while secretly conspiring together to punch the world and how their conspiring together to punch the world and the guy's frequent loving up at attempting to be a good evil henchman ultimately leads to them growing as people with each other's support

i hope they redeem her a little because atm i'm just watching her burn bridge after bridge and it's loving awful

the scope is also a little specific. like how it's hard for some people to relate to catcher in the rye because they come from different cultural or economic backgrounds, if you can't understand being in your 20s in a sleepy small american town (in fact, that's the Big City Dream to me), a lot of it will go over your head or hit the wall or whatever. my 20s existential crisis was "most of the people i love are dying of bad luck before they hit 30" so the malaise of living in a town big enough to have an applebees doesn't exactly speak to me.

Why the gently caress does youtube go out of its way to load a bunch of relevant videos that aren't actually the most relevant ones sometimes? Its aggravating as hell. Don't tell me that a loving Meglovania remix is relevant to the Bloodborne OST.

If I had to guess, it got there by knowing you like Megalovania and knowing you were listening to music and thinking you might want to listen to more music

I don't even like Megalovania. I mean its okay but I prefer other songs a lot more. What I wanna listen to right now is the rest of the Bloodborne OST so it should just show that and not;



Half the time it actually does list the most directly relevant videos and then randomly it decides to start listing stuff fetched by algorithims based on a video you watched 5 months ago.

Careful, if you go too far down that clickhole you'll probably reach those videos that are 10 minutes of a guy feeding cockroaches to his imported giant toad.

They are up there with arthropods but nowhere near the coolest invertebrate. Cephalopods hold that category with an iron grip.

Getting out of bed is easy. Its not feeling like a tired piece of poo poo for the first two hours of being awake that I struggle with.

Also I'd like to wake up at time before 1 pm :smith:
