#smooshless

I'm not in nor from the UK (or any other anglophone country for that matter) and unfortunately i can't think of anything similar here. So far i've had most luck thrawling second hand stores, but then you do need plenty of time and patience and it still might not always work out

thank you!! still very Surprised but have told the family now so that makes it official I think... dang

Somehow I get the feeling that I’ve learnt more about Massachusetts in this past day than I have in my entire life.

@burr-youdisgustme tagged me in this and I thought it was a handwriting thing 😂 WHOOPS oh well, it is now. I'm taggin @smooshless, @mintpenguins, @interplanetaryassd0jo, @cloacina, @nordreys, @jackoffalope, @strings-and-pedals, @sapphic-sunshine, @escapetheory

THANK YOU T____T it’s still not 100% hit me. i’m at like 30-40% now. I think I’m deliberately holding off feeling the strong emotion of it, almost like I’m waiting for something shitty to happen today. But the day is nearly over. I figure that by the time everyone’s in bed and i’m chatting to anthony later i’ll start crying

(to me he will always be the manager in the spice girls film. every time i see him, that is what i think of first, before his name)

I never played Harvest Moon growing up because my parents didn’t buy me any kind of console (I only got to play Kingdom Hearts because my best friend brought her PlayStation2 to my house during sleepovers haha!), but HM would have been exactly the kind of game I would have loved growing up, and indeed, love now. Don’t Starve is one of my favourite games ever for a reason, I love “grindy” games, I love maintaining a little base, mining, fishing (Sims 3 fishing, oh boy oh boy), and just “collecting”. So I could play infinite incarnations of that kind of game. From what I’ve heard during the LPs I watched before playing myself, it’s one man’s 4 year labour of love in homage to games like HM, while also improving on almost every aspect of the games that needed improving. Apparently the storyline is not as rich as HM, but the technical aspects, ie controls, farming, pickups/drops, interacting etc, are all much better and more intuitive. Also, my little sprite is female, and I’m able to romance female villagers, which is exactly what I wanted. The girl I mostly have my eyes on, a cutscene triggered for me to help her get past a level in a videogame in her room, which was just adorable. And it’s going to be mod supported on steam, so the story could be added to through that, endless possibilities really! But yeah, if you liked HM, I would imagine that you would like this, that it wouldn’t feel too much like a ripoff, and that it just comfortably sits into that genre of relaxing farming/fishing/mining/dating sim. 

PHEW, I'm not the only one who likes pulling faces while brushing my teeth! I think having an expressive face is a really lovely characteristic - you're right that it means your heart is on your sleeve a bit, but I don't think that's a bad thing at all. It means that you've got to be out there for all to see - there's no hiding, which makes you pretty gosh darn brave. Plus as we've already discussed, hilarious bathroom mirror face possibilities!
