I tried all kinds of things to get Stardew Valley on my Mac to work with an XBox controller, and just gave up eventually.

The XBox controller works fine for everything else, just Stardew Valley doesn’t work with it :/

Gonna follow this thread in case you find someone with a solution

Yeah! It’s what makes being an adult great! I can choose to spend time with my friends.

Do you go to the movie theater by yourself?

The comment does not miss the point. You’re thinking from the perspective of a consumer, not a business.

Without Epic, World of Goo 2 would not exist.

If I was World of Goo’s developers, I would much rather have a job than not.

I find it so frustrating you’re being downvoted for a sane opinion.

I want Lemmy to succeed, but the userbase can be so mean :(

It’s just a tv show. I went to watch parties for Legend of Korra, anime, movies, and board game nights.

I’m not sure there’s much more to get

A watch party for people that like the television show and fandom surrounding My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

My wife and I are huge nerds

I met her at my university’s Brony club. I sat next to her because she had a sketchbook open. I brought out my own sketchbook and struck up a conversation.

We had a two-year courtship and have been married for 6 years now.

You know how hand sanitizer kills 99.7% of germs?

The current strain of tumblr user that survived the porn ban leans more aromantic/asexual. With less competition this new strain has thrived, and can solely focus on its main food source: fandoms for obscure media.

The English language is missing a gender neutral term for a cow/bull.

Cows are female

Bulls are male

Steers are castrated bulls

Cattle - the term for multiple cows and/or bulls and/or steers

It’s odd because every other animal with gendered language has a gender neutral term. Take chicken for example.

Hens are female

Roosters (or Cocks) are male

Capons are castrated roosters

It’s so nice to have a word like chicken to describe all these animals. But no word for that exists for cow/bull in English.

The writer of the tumblr post above either didn’t know the right word to use would be “Bull,” or the writer wanted to make sure they were understood so used the word Cow. Which… linguistically at this point may have become the gender neutral term for this animal because people need one.

Cow is such a common word, and bull is so uncommon that to be understood by everyone, cow might just be the best word.

Though anyone with knowledge of animal husbandry would be baffled because by the strict definition cows are always female.

I’m sorry you had to learn this nightmare language.

This sounds likely. I’d have to imagine at that stage of life the very concept of learning how to learn something for the first time is monumental.

What they’re learning isn’t as important as learning something for the first time. Since animals are so interesting, it sounds like a reasonable thing to start with.

I imagine it also has to do with establishing and reinforcing the concept that “things make noises and so can you”

There are few things that boost inspiration and innovation quite like a competent competitor.
