Vintage story fucking rocks. Like my boyfriend and I went on like a multi day long expedition to find bauxite the other day. This game actively rewards exploration in the form of not only ruins but also the varying rock strata that actually have uses. Want to make some plaster? Get some chalk or lime. What to make refractory bricks, go hunting for at least some bauxite. Also I never leave home without my prospecting pick. We'll be out on a yonder and I'll be like "hold up, this wall is perfect for prospecting!" He also has this fascination with berries. Pretty sure nearly every berry bush within a 1k block radius has been stolen and resides within his berry farm area.

been playing a fuck ton of vintage story lately and the sheer amount of pride this game gives you is actually painful. like i genuinely cant play for more than an hour at a time because of the overwhelming urge to talk about all of the stuff ive done. it does such a good job of putting your accomplishments on display, and making those accomplishments take actual work. i step into my home and every piece of wood, every bowl, vase, and pot, every tool, every hot soup, and even the light itself took so much effort that i have to step away from my computer because the feeling of joy in my chest feels like its gonna kill me. i hear my clothing rustle with every step and im reminded of the hours of planting, watering, harvesting, and crafting flax that gave me my clothes. the stack of firewood in the corner was the result of knapping stone tools, chopping trees, splitting the wood, and finally stacking it, and it will keep me warm and cook my food for months. everything feels so cozy and nice. anyway i love vintage story go buy it its good 👍

When your partner is in distress, you should always be there for them in any capacity you can. If they've gone through something confrontational or traumatic you should take time to be with them. This is all probably redundant info but saying it and acknowledging it to them is important.

Ive been on a new medication that helps with some stuff and it's a stimulant and I was recently diagnosed with mild adhd so my doc was like hey try the med and see how you feel. I started my meds like 4 days ago

Unrelated ive been getting into DIY and metalworking within the past 4 days and I went from having the spare power tool from my folks to making a forge and forging a knife of my own. Every free moment I've spent has been on either the forge itself or the knife, total time being like 9 hours and 5 hours respectively. Im not done with the knife yet.

I know most of you probably don't care because you don't know me but we're in dire straights. I live with my folks and it turns out the mortgage hasn't been payed and our house is at risk of being foreclosed. I don't want to go back to living in a hotel...

To clarify, both are species (yes I'm counting robots as a species) that essentially are immortal to someone with a human-like lifespan. Due to their prolonged life and thus different perception of time they're able to view the world in a lens which is hard to conceive for a normal humanoid. Elves are traditionally seen as graceful and peaceful, with their architecture reflecting this as such, like having elegantly curved structures with bright but subtle color palettes. All of this is usually in some contrast to humans who are more reckless and shortsighted or sinful. Human architecture normally reflects traditional medieval era construction which was simple and plain and/or constructed with war in mind.

Robots on the other hand are calculated and meticulous beings or are played for comedic effect, no in-between. Focusing on the former a core concept about robots are their lack of empathy and emotion. They've seen humans tear themselves apart again and again and istg if there's another movie with a robot antagonist it better not be "in order to save humanity/the planet we need to cull humans." That shit has been overdone to death. Their algorithmic minds focus on efficiency and logic and their structures are usually geometric and metallic.

Been writing this for like half an hour now and I'm tired and losing steam but the point is, is that both elves and robots can teach humans about their harmful impact and Generational shortsightedness, to show the effects of compassion by either the lack thereof (robots) or the Apathy or different perception of it (elves). Both of their styles are traditionally tailored to their respective vibes and generally clash with the humanoid status quo. Also as I said both are immortal I'm relation to humans and treat each other differently from that fundamental difference in perception.

Thank you for coming to my TED TALK, I go sleep now bye bye.

Man I just gotta love spring, congested sinuses from allergies making it slightly harder to breath then further troubles from the occasional bouts or anxiety.

So im primarily a PC gamer, always have been since i had a PC of my own with a console bias to PS. However on rare occasion I'll get super drawn into a mobile game. I find they all share the same themes too, send a lotta your guys to fight/defend from a lot of their guys. Back in High school i started a mini PvZ2 popularity wave with my classmates then ag peak covid it was battle cats. Now I'm back at it again, this time I'm a sucker for Mob Control, which is one of... those mobile game ads. The one in which you shoot lil guys out of a cannon. Also I'm a Rum drinking, pirate coded, enjoyer and this season I joined in on is pirate guy Kaboom!!! Very cool. Anyways I've already spent more than i would like in both time and money but I want a better pirate guy.
