  • I preface this with the caveat that all grants are subjective and you can like what you like.

    Stardew Valley is a love letter to the harvest Moon games(and I guess rune factory as well). If you have ever encountered those games you immediately know what to do in Stardew.

    I think where Stardew is different is that it came later and benefited massively from the “cozy game” popularity.

    While I played harvest Moon on a super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, and Gameboy my girl friend who did not have that exposure growing up loves Stardew. This generational and gender Crossing game has tapped markets that were not available back then. Couple that with the fact that at this point you can play that game on basically any platform from phone to console, new and old and it’s totally understandable why this headline might be true.

    The problem is it is rarely an easy proposition to just “pay more and get a better product” especially when it comes to home appliances.

    In most big box stores every option will be shit. Companies know that there are consumers at every price point and so they have a product for every price print.

    The problem is the expensive isn’t really better, it’s the same fridge with the same compressor as a cheap one except it has a wifi dongle or a tablet in the door.

    Of course there are the Vikings and Thermidors and whatever but those are Velben goods that priced so high that you could get 5 to 10 of the cheap options for the price of one.

    • they are often “cheaper” then what you would have paid in the 80s and they are built to that price
    • they are more efficient, which means every thing has tighter tolerances and thus more likely to break
    • they are more complicated due to the above which means more to break
    • with the above efficiently they use way less water but in my experience that means they clean worse

  • It doesn’t really matter if he sees them, he already knows he is a disingenuous twat. The reality is his followers will see only the tweet as they scroll on by and this response will be somewhere under the fold mixed in with all the bots and simpletons circle jerking about how “true” this tweet is.

    This is why these Twitter gotchas don’t mean anything. Yelling into the void doesn’t break into other people’s media bubble it just tells the algorithms that this tweet is getting engagement and should be bumped up.
