Sounds like a dirty word

It is small and cramped in adult hands.

They are focusing on the dry part of the term. Using a liquid during the process goes against the dry part.

No, the bridge is too well-guarded.

But is space (and its resources) truly infinite?

I think they mean that the “Wobblies” and the “Pinkertons” just sound like a bunch of cartoon characters or something.

As an illustration, grab an endgame save from 1.0 and open it up in a modern version of the game. The moment you step out of the door, you will be greeted with a series of cutscenes/dialogs explaining several of the various game mechanics that were added in the versions since 1.0. These are game mechanics that, if they had been part of the game from the start, would have greatly altered how one would have chosen to play and reach endgame. One may have prioritized different crops, events, upgrades, relationships, decorations, etc.

Stardew Valley is absolutely worth the money, and the content updates definitely make it even more of a bargain. But calling the transition from 1.0 to 1.6+ “minor adjustments to gameplay” is disingenuous.

I just miss the days when games were already finished upon release.

What would you call it? Live service does not really fit

My issue with Stardew Valley content updates is that they change how the game works. It is not just adding extra postgame missions or something. The content updates tend to fundamentally change how some things work. Your possible/preferred routes to reach endgame today are much different than they were in 2016. It makes it feel like perpetual Early Access.

Game changing updates like this every so often that make you feel like it is an unfinished game still in early access. You may as well just wait until it is finished to actually start playing.

but it’s like a completely different show most of the time

I haven’t watched recent seasons, but wasn’t that always the point?

“The” emoji keyboard? Is the order standardized at all?

Didn’t we have a big kerfuffle over humans consuming horse medication years back?

If anything, it’s a glorified picture book.

Not just that. Cognitive dissonance is when someone realizes that they hold conflicting beliefs. Most people that hold conflicting beliefs have not yet experienced that dissonance.

Just give it a few years. The continent you are currently on will be largely submerged soon enough.

“People” refers to a group of humans as a unit. “Persons” also refers to a group, but puts emphasis on the individuality of the humans in the group.
