I quite like the climate here in the Netherlands. Could do with some colder winters though because ice skating on natural ice is becoming more and more rare. The Dutch weather gives us something to bitch an moan about, but relatively speaking it's very mild. No deadly heat or cold, no tornadoes or hurricanes. Though I think I prefer the "old" climate a bit more than what it's changing into. The hotter summer days and milder winters are not ideal

Vex and Blaze are pretty cool names tbh

Ah I wasn't sure so I put a decade to be safe. I thought it was released in 2006. But yeah it's 2004/2005. I'm well aware of how old it is because I've owned mine long enough that it could legally drink where I'm from.

Why :( The poor thing has been surviving for more than a decade, let it live in peace.

My DS lite still turns on as if it's 2010. I've had my fair share of spicy pillows in old phones, powerbanks, etc. but the DS appears immune.

We can clearly see that this design is silly, because it allows for so many invalid states. Yet when we represent some type, let's say in Java, were so often forced to do this exact same thing. Have variables in a container of which only a certain combination is valid. And then have at most a comment saying "this number is only valid if X is also set" or "if the validity boolean is true". Luckily Java finally has some ability for the so-called sum types now, just like Haskell's data types or Rust's enum types. Imo any language should have this.

The "anti-woke" men at my office once crowned me the "woke police" because I commented on one of their sexist/racist/homophobic/ whatever "jokes". It's my badge of honour. The weird part is that we kinda entered into some sort of cold war. I could comment on their "jokes", pretending it was in jest as part of my job as "woke police", while still getting the message across. I guess it kinda kept some semblance of friendliness and ability to cooperate while we still got our opinions out.

Retain my knowledge of the (west) Frysian language. At one point I spoke it fairly well, but I can only understand it now and not speak or write it. It wouldn't really have helped me in any way, but I guess it would've given me a bit more of a regional identity and it would be nice to preserve the language.

Damn I should do this. I've gotten "Dear ${name}" before tho

Tbh at the moment I just have an idea, tell everyone about it, and I have no energy for it for 2 weeks and forget about it. It's more frustrating because you don't even get the satisfaction of starting anything and seeing the early rapid progress before ditching it

Personally I'd say that "always striving for the maximum and stressing myself out" is a personality trait that's not only a problem in Stardew Valley for me haha. I'm o it's not a great mindset to have, but unfortunately it's a subconscious drive that's hard to eliminate.

I guess it's just a mindset difference. I'd say me and my friends are all pretty competitive gamers (as opposed to more creative gamers). We tend to play games mostly for the challenge. Also didn't help that we had just finished our Facorio playthrough. So in our mind we still had "the factory must grow". So our minds were like "if space -> use space".
