At this pace, we are about two weeks away from “Israel has a right to defend itself”

I’m so tired with everything, I don’t have the energy to do anything except play video games when I’m not at work and it’s killing me. I need like a year off of work to take care of the countless looming DIY house projects that I’ve allowed to build up since COVID started and reset my brain.

Also my job is still relatively cushy but it’s become significantly more annoying in the two years I’ve been here, I have a good relationship with my boss but the rest of senior management puts up a huge fight any time I try to do my job because it might make their lives 1% more difficult. Like sorry Susan, but I’m not giving you written or verbal permission to do [very bad thing that I’m being paid specifically to prevent] because “that’s the way we’ve always done it” (the worst possible justification to do anything btw) and you don’t want to do 10 more minutes of work every week, only boss can override it. Then it escalates to boss and we continue wasting everyone’s time, repeat ad nauseum on a weekly basis.

This but there’s a plot twist, where during the time you are trapped and alone with your thoughts it leads to the revelation that you are trans at hour 126 so the solution is actually not that big of a deal (except for the blood loss)

I’m a loud and proud all vertebrates are fish supporter. We are all fish on this blessed day. No one should be ashamed of their heritage.

Have you tried salt substitutes? Salternatives, if you will? I think potassium chloride is the most common one used.

Also, make a conscious effort to drink a ton of water if you aren’t already.

Bruh, not again. If we have another drone panic I might seriously have an aneurysm.

For the record, I live in NJ and it was absolutely just planes.

The number one rule is that there is no time limit for anything - every year repeats exactly the same as the last (big mood) and anything you miss can be done at a later point in time.

Try to save up some money during the first spring to get a ton of strawberry seeds at the Egg Festival - this will give you a massive jump in the first year.

Watering plants every day is by far your biggest energy and time drain in the early game - upgrade your watering can, then get quality and eventually iridium sprinklers as soon as possible. Skip the basic sprinklers, they are not worth the trouble. When it rains and you don’t have to water, spend the day in the mines.

Fishing is tedious at first, but it’s very easy to level up compared to the other skills and it’s a fantastic way to make money in the first year.

Food is seriously OP in this game. Don’t eat your raw crops, but save the cheaper fish and craft some field snacks for food early on. If you don’t eat, you will find yourself running out of energy very quickly.

Work towards the community center bundles once they become available, some of the rewards are VERY good.

Unless you really like the animals, focus on growing plants. Processed fruits and vegetables are significantly more profitable than animal products later on in the game and they require much less work. One or two of each animal is plenty for the “achievements” they will eventually provide. FENCE IN YOUR BARNS AND COOPS or you will spend half your day looking around for that damn cow.

It’s not easy to do, but in the same sense that first spring strawberries are extremely helpful, getting some lightning rods out at some point in the first summer can also be very helpful. Don’t sweat it if you can’t, though.

Above all else, just take your time and try not to turn your first run into a spreadsheet-fest. Save that for subsequent playthroughs.

Counterpoint: Maybe I’m just a filthy casual, but I would have never finished my first playthrough if I didn’t read the wiki as I went along. There’s a ton of stuff going on in this game, including things that aren’t possible to discover without some very arduous trial and error (gift preferences, when and where to buy things, fish species hours and locations, etc). It’s also not a story-heavy game so you can’t really spoil much.

Babe wake up, new red scare just dropped

That’s my thoughts as well. People here and generally everywhere else on the internet are very quick to assume this was a false flag or the guy is a patsy, but if they were going through all that trouble, they wouldn’t be using this guy. He’s just some terminally online groyper who did a shitpost assassination.

This picture just makes me think that Rob Schneider looks like Hitler without a stache. Maybe there’s a little bit of Kevin Spacey in there as well.

It’s a super fun game. There’s no enemies, only droughts that are fairly easy to prepare for, and then you spend like 100 in-game years building a post-scarcity communist beaver utopia.

Edit: also you can eventually replace your entire workforce with beaver robots so the entire population can engage in debauchery all day and never work again

This happens to me with heart palpitations, sometimes it’ll happen for a few hours, one time I had them for like six months and then one day they just stopped. Hoping I didn’t invoke them again by typing that out.

If you happen to like both RTS games and beavers, I would strongly recommend Timberborn. Super chill game and probably the only beaver-centric one in existence.

Also I personally know the location of two beaver lodges and three dams and I hike to them frequently, unfortunately the little fellers are crepuscular and shy so it’s rare that I actually see them. The dams are super cool though. Sometimes I can hear them making their little beaver noises inside the lodges.

Fuckin got emmm

Buddy is literally melting

I don’t know if the shooter intended on that placement or if they were aiming center mass and just got lucky, but it really was a perfect shot. Probably less survivable than right between the eyes since you can live without most of your brain, and center mass will neutralize a threat but it’s easy to miss vitals.

They haven’t announced it but it’s not a survivable injury. News outlets won’t report anything until he’s declared by a medical professional and it’s made public. Dude was absolutely dead by the time his handlers reached him.

I don’t know if Trump will order flags to be at half mast, but I’m personally going to be at full mast for the rest of the week.
