Oh you'll learn quick enough that beneath the cozy shell lies madness.

Also, spring berries are sold at the egg festival on the 13th for 100G apiece. I like to plan for them. Without speed gro fertiliser you're only getting two crops in before the end of the month, but they are still the most profitable spring crop. With the speed gro you can get from the spring crops bundle, you can get an extra crop if you turn in the bundle, plant, and fertilise the day of the festival.

If you're not interested in optimising, just play and have fun. Outside of two cutscenes in the first year, you won't miss anything. Everything is doable just as easily in year 20 as year 1.

But if you are interested in optimising...

1. Don't let your farm get too big too quickly. You'll spend all your time watering.
2. Fishing can be amazingly lucrative in the single player early game.
3. Mining should be your primary activity until your farm is automated.
4. Don't donate your first dinosaur egg or your first prismatic shard. You'll get more.
5. Basic sprinklers are a trap. Wait for quality.
6. Berries are great first year crops. Especially in 1.6 given the addition of a new way of processing them. But don't forget to grow a bit of everything.
7. Resist the temptation to build a glorious hoard until the second year. Profits and bundles are the most important things in the first year.
8. But that being said, never sell resources. Don't be afraid to buy them either (especially in the first year).
9. Check the travelling cart every Friday and Sunday. High value items are red cabbage, rabbit's feet, and truffles. Getting these from the cart instead of producing them yourself will greatly aid in getting the bundles done earlier.
10. make sure to plant a pomegranate and apple tree as early as you can manage in summer. Plan for a pig before the second week of fall.
11. Fish are seasonal, and appear in different locations. However, outside of the legendary fish, none are unique to spring. This means you can delay worrying about fish bundles until summer. But you can't miss any more seasonal fish after that.

A phenomenon I've noticed many a time, and I'm not a tinfoil hat wearing type. This is why anything smart gets removed when I want a serious talk.

I'd not been following the war that closely until the Kursk invasion. I strongly believed it to be the beginning of the end. It makes absolutely zero strategic sense. Zelensky himself has waffled on what the point of it is. At this point it seems to be just a terrorist attack/PR stunt aimed at harming Russian civilians. That's not really a good use of your best troops if you want to win a war. As we can see with the collapse of the Ukrainian fronts, which Ukraine is still not doing much about. This just isn't sustainable.

The problem with that question is that you get accusations of genocide. If you point out that it's overblown and/or falsified to fit the narrative, it's genocide denial. If you point out that the fine capitalist countries have done and are continuing to do worse than what they accuse communist countries of, it's whattaboutism. If you continue to press, then the capitalist countries made a whoopsie, or it's all the fault of one man, while communists are just bloodthirsty and evil. Evidenced by the genocide... And back to square one.

It matters to Canada because the US told them to care. I have absolutely no clue about the US. Presumably they spent a lot of money getting those judges appointed and don't want to lose their investments?

For anyone else out of the loop: From what I gather, Mexico is currently trying to make it so that judges are elected, rather than appointed. Canada and the US are fussing about this and threating trade sanctions, claiming that electing judges will somehow harm Mexico's democracy (as you might expect, the reasons I found were a bunch of FUD without much substance). Mexico wants them to mind their own fucking business.

I think you'd just have to shoot it yourself to see what I really mean.

Many of them are ambidextrous. But not all, and it's still uncomfortably close either way. Shells ejecting out the bottom is weird in it's own way, as that is where your feet/platform are.

It's been a while since I've shot them, so I don't recall the exact gripping problems I had. I think it might have been the placement of the trigger coupled with the extremely short barrel ahead of it. But magazine changes were awful, since the magazine was practically touching my boob.

Edit: Thinking about it further, it was the SCAR that I had troubles holding. On the SCAR, the magazine is still in front of the trigger. So the trigger is pulled back very close to the body, resulting in your arm being tucked very closely in. It was weird, but magazine changes were easier.

They are SO uncomfortable to shoot though. I'm told you get used to it, but I came away very disappointed after shooting a couple. They're awkward to hold, the brass is usually ejected uncomfortably close to your face (or in your face if you're a leftie), and mag changes are obnoxious.

If you only play one JRPG in your life, make it Chrono Trigger.

If you do, don't judge the franchise based on the first game. Silent Hill 2 is a very different game.
