I guess the thing to remember is, days don't actually matter.

If you spend 100 years to do anything, that's okay. It really just has the most feature set of all the farming games.

I've gotten Covid twice. Once early pandemic, and once when vaccinated.

I do not want to get covid without the vaccine again. 0/10, would not recommend.

Sometimes songs don't have deep stories, are nonsense, or are just straight forward.

My head cannon (that is not true at all) is that "Cupid Stranglehold" and "According to You" involve the same people.

"According to you I'm stupid, I'm useless I can't do anything right According to you I'm difficult, hard to please Forever changing my mind I'm a mess in a dress Can't show up on time Even if it would save my life According to you, according to you"

So in my head the above verse is about the guy in the below verse.

"Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got (ba ba da da) Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)"

Then this below verse:

"But according to him I'm beautiful, incredible He can't get me out of his head According to him I'm funny, irresistible Everything he ever wanted Everything is opposite I don't feel like stopping it So baby, tell me what I got to lose He's into me for everything I'm not According to you"

Is about this guy: " It's been awhile since we talked last and I'm tryin' hard not to talk fast But dad I'm finally thinkin' I may have found the one Type of girl that will make you way proud of your son And I know you heard the last song about the girls that didn't last long But I promise this is on a whole new plane I can tell by the way she says my name (ba ba da da) I love it when she calls my phone She even got her very own ringtone If that ain't love then I don't know what love is (ba ba da da) It's gonna be a long drive home but I know as soon as I arrive home And I open the door take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor She'll be back into my arms once more for sure "

Are these songs at all related? No of course not. Was any real thought put into Cupid Chokehold? No, not at all. They made it one day when they were bored and the "not much of a girl friend" part is just sampled for the beat.

But in my head, the "According to him" guy, just can't help but gush about how lucky he is to his parents.

Aww they are so cute!

I didn't realize they are so prone to getting themselves killed though :( Poor little dummies.

[-] ericbomb@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

Oh wait, so if they don't have chew toys, can it grow long enough to harm themselves?

That's super sad! They are the cutest little things.

[-] ericbomb@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

Oh man that would be sick!...

I do have a spare tiled room in my basement... maybe one day as that would be awesome! No more escaping for them (unless they escape the room some how, which I know they will try.)

[-] ericbomb@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah they're so smart! I know some are considered to be as smart as a 5 year old.

So they deserve all the love and enrichment of a 5 year old, which would mean a variety of food, new toys, lots of exercise, and lots of interaction.

I never had one but I still feel bad for all the birds that just end up in a cage for 70% of their lives because they are so smart.

Not really adding anything, just agreeing with you whole heartedly.

I own red eared slider turtles, while not exactly exotic it's funny that the three things they are known for by owners are things normal folks would not expect.

  1. Turtles are escape artists. Because they need so much water to swim in and need basking areas, you'll generally want to fill your tank up as high as you can, and then have a basking platform up there. They will use those and filters to try to escape. They may succeed. There are a ton of questions/guides online to address this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHbV5nsDCb8&ab_channel=TheTurtleGirl
  2. They are destructive. You will want to have a filter for them, and they will attack the filter with the fury of a bored creature attacking the thing making a noise. Many filters will fall to their wrath. If you google it you'll find ton of stories of turtles destroying filters/water heaters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnD3cKuFOa0&ab_channel=HMoore
  3. They smell. How can such a small creature smell so powerfully? Magic.

Any other pet owners have secrets about their type of pet?

Hopefully you understand why I was a little suspicious!

But I tried it out, and holy moly it feels like a different era. My brain can't compute the fact that I just got a free to play game (Just have the demo, which honestly sounds like a ton of game) and it's not trying to sell me anything in game? The tutorial was all about game play in universe, and never once told me about premium currency? My ui doesn't have 5 different things? Crafting doesn't involve long cool downs that I can 5 gems to speed up?

Like it feels like a different era of game, thank you for being persistent! I've only played a couple hours, but so far it feels like it's going to become a comfort game at the very least.

Not sure if it's my cup of tea, but that is a really good answer!

[-] ericbomb@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I see you can buy gems, are gems nothing?

Hmm these look sus:

Maybe they're not so popular, or in context not worth that much, but levels and money usually are no-nos for me. Because the one appears to be straight up levels and gil.

I miss playing MMO's, but micro transactions ruin any sense of progression for me.

Any mmo's out there that fit the bill?

Cosmetics are fine, as long as you can't just turn around and sell said cosmetics in game.
