Ok ... I might not have time to listen during finals week and when a billion grades are due, but I'm super curious what Julian did to piss everyone off. lol 

That was one of two games making me want an XBO when it released. I really want to play the new ones, but I'm happy with my PS4. 

Oh yeah; any radio station owned by iHeart is gonna be a strict playlist on a computer. Been that way since at least mid 90s I think.

Ooohhh I forgot the Onion had a book. I'll check that out. 

Well then you should have zero problems becoming internet famous! Lol

I mean ... I kinda would actually. Lol It's like people who are hilarious at parties but can't preform stand up well. It's a particular context and skill set. 

But I'd still listen to you riff something. Lol Now you can't use the "I don't know video editing or YouTube" excuse for THAT, because it really isn't editing- intensive at all.

Sadly, the songs are all on a computer playlist, we were only allowed to rotate 3 an hour, and with mostly hip hop heads running an alt rock station, not many had any personality when it came to music selection because they didn't like or understand the music.

BUT I later became the Station Mgr and Music Dir. in grad school (GA) and made sure that computer playlist was at least playing what it SHOULD and on weekends as a DJ, the classic rock was all on CDs, and we knew what we were doing then. Only issue there was couldn't play any of the same songs one hour to next, so if you came in for 5pm Sunday, you were in this horrible spot re: what music you could play. That was mostly where the (bad) slow jams came in.

Oh and if you heard American Pie during classic hits or Master of Puppets during alt rock, it meant someone had to take a dump. 

That's about what i expected w country folk vs college kids. Now that I think of it, my town basically IS country folk vs colleges kids. Lol

I still am going to give MineCraft a chance; I'm just saying the type of game it is usually doesn't appeal to me. But since I have it, I'll still try it again at some point. Sunk cost fallacy and all ...

See here's the thing: it's not the graphics. I've enjoyed ugly games before. It's more that I've just never been interested in building things in a game. Even leveling up characters can be a chore to me. I honestly prefer to have a clear challenge laid out for me and overcome it, where building-oriented games and RPGs often turn me off with ... I googled and still couldn't find the term I've seen used for having too many choices, but that.

Now, I'm not saying that I'll neglect a game that lets you choose how to tackle it or what upgrades you get or allows you to build etc. But I need to be eased into it and hate large menus in a game. I didn't like having so much text thrown at me in the Minecraft tutorial either. I love to read, just not in a video game where I'd rather baby step my way through learning by doing. 

Anyway, did you think the inventory in Stardew looked an awful lot like Minecraft? I did. Of course, they both might be borrowing from older games I never played. Maybe Harvest Moon always had that type of inventory and I just wouldn't know, having never played it.
