I managed to get into Stardew after some insistence, but I also struggled with this for a long time and I know exactly why in my case after coming back to harvest moon for a bit: the player character is too slow. You spend soooo much time walking and unlike HM/RF you don’t have a sprint button, so everything becomes more stressful to do.

I know it might seem weird but older monster Hunter games works for me

I’m currently going through chemo treatment. I’ve been very lucky so far since I had very mild side effects and my chemo protocol is very intense. In my opinion, the best thing you can do is be available for visits whenever she has the energy for it. My godmother also went through a harsh treatment and multiple surgeries, and she said she felt constantly lonely, and even though I’m a very “home” person, I also miss seeing some friends a bit more than usual.

If you want to ask anything feel free to, I don’t mind talking about it.

With China, mostly yes. With Russia, only in very specific contexts, otherwise they are VERY critical of it (as they are with most burgeois government, but particularly more due to the reactionary nature of the Russian government from what I’ve seen).

People underestimate how powerful stickers are to the average person

I still miss the days of MSNPlus where I could add text shortcuts to display reaction images/gifs

Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death.

It’s not as bad as I expected.

A far more effective tool

Idk what you mean by ancillary pieces. I have a phone. That’s it. Nothing additional.

Why would I? My phone works fine tyvm

That we’ll probably only know after someone tries to test all the features without an active internet connection

It’s both local and remote, according to their page. There are some activities that run on a “private cloud”. I’d imagine that image creation is one of those

I mean, I’m fairly sure the new client is a web wrapper, either electron or some alternative since the actual application has parity with the web version (I use it at work). If it is redirecting you to an actual browser there’s likely something wrong with your configuration.

Since I use the enterprise version there’s no ads whatsoever. I don’t find it particularly good but it’s decent enough.

Can you show an example?

This so much. I hate all the speculation and grift around it. If some crypto stay stable enough to use as a currency I’d be up to try it. I’ll look into monero, I’ve never heard of it.

Honestly I can’t replace discord with something that doesn’t have the streaming feature. I use that waaaay too much

Honestly the current windows desktop app is fairly decent, it’s what makes it bearable to use for me.

Honestly I would like to see an example of that, because my experience there so far is so completely removed from this that I don’t understand where do people get these takes from

How do you get a loan to start a business if you don’t have enough capital to begin with? It’s not that simple, it’s not on the interest of banks to invest on small businesses, because it’s comparable higher risk and they are profit driven.

they can’t

Ah yes of course, that must be why no one ever finds people under working conditions analogous to slavery under capitalist states. Ever. Never happened.

I’m trying to take this thread seriously, but my man you sound so naive it hursts. I live in a global south country and the ammount of damage done to my society due to both capitalism and imperialism (which benefit from each other, you can’t fully separate them) is revolting. You need to read more and travel more.

It’s not a failure of government when the government effectively serves the ruling class (i.e capitalists). It’s a feature, not a bug.
