  • I used to feel that way, they didn’t have the depth I wanted.

    My wife has sent me so many tiktoks that I got used to it.

    Now I still don’t watch them, but because I’d get stuck in them. Whatever my wife sends, and specific ones from content people I know make quality, and that’s about it. Once you get past them being presented in a new way, they’re more addicting to ADHD brains.

    I will say that if you were gonna pick your minute long vertical video platform, tiktok is the best one, YouTube the worst, but Facebook and Instagram are a lot closer to YouTube shorts than tiktoks. I’m reasonably confident it’s because YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram see it as a way to extend your stay on a platform with other content, while tiktok focuses on it exclusively. Their algorithms are doing different things.

    I mean, the people in charge of Nintendo now aren’t those people.

    In 50 years, if Microsoft had gone co-op, withdrawn from genocide, removed telemetry, and like half a dozen other things, due to a change in leadership, I’d also not hold that future Microsoft as at fault for current Microsoft.

    I also don’t hold Volkswagen responsible for the Holocaust, presently. Just the emissions fraud (and maybe more that I can’t currently recall).

    See but I’ve never heard Nintendo supporting genocide actively.

    Like, yes, they’re a corporation, they love money, they do stupid things to get money, but they’re not doing nearly the same shit as other companies I hate.

    Or if they are, I haven’t heard of it, it’s all been game key cards.

    The game key card thing feels like a clinton-blowjob level scandal while some other people are doing a whole genocide.

    Am I missing something?








  • For sure but I still find it quicker to just spiral carve up a 2x2 spruce and chuck it all into a dedicated charcoal smelter that uses its own charcoal to smelt everything.

    But if someone strip mines a ton, then yeah, coal as a byproduct is better, I suppose.

    I always like renewables though. Even a slow or wasteful farm is better than doing it myself, when I play, so to each their own.



  • I’ve always used charcoal.

    Sure, coal was easier to find, but charcoal is renewable, and I like that.

    Even ignoring that, 8 logs becomes 7 charcoal, and planting is trivial, so its just faster to farm trees in the long run. Coal is for villagers that demand it, specifically, in early trades.

    Now for smelting I like bamboo, you can fully automate it. Technically you can fully automate kelp now too with the crafter, but bamboo is easy. Just break it like sugarcane and funnel it to your furnace directly, done.


  • Stay with your parents.

    If you can afford to move to a new place on your own with what you make right now, you can afford to put that same money into a savings account. That money in the bank is far more useful if something happens to you, your kid, or your parents. Figure out what you’d pay in a new house, childcare, mortgage, the whole thing, subtracting what you currently pay, and set it aside.

    Also, I assume whatever your dad would’ve given you is some kind of retirement fund, and while that’s very nice of him to offer it, it’d be better for him to still have that later, for all the same reasons it’s good for you to save.

    If it’s not a retirement fund, then it either is in some kind of high interest savings account, or should be. You can take his example or you both can look into that together, and set that up for his current money and your future money.

    Money aside, having family support is worth so much more than it seems. I have a child the same age, too, and the difference between me being able to go do something, anything, from see a movie to shop to go on a date with my wife, and be able to leave my kid at home and know she’s in good hands, it’s worth so much more than it seems like it should be. My advice is even if you decide to move out, do it when your kid is more independent, and you have an even better financial situation.
