This LP got me to buy Slime Rancher finally. It's fun but now I feel too much pressure to do well and feed my slimes. I'm failing at chilling with this chill game, help.

I was the same way, I felt odd pressure to keep up instead of exploring and stopped after an hour

I'll try again someday :v:

Also anything hungry enough can just break out of the corrals. And potentially into corrals, eating foreign plorts to become tarr and eat all your other slimes!


However, nothing in Slime Rancher is hard to replace if you lose it. The challenge is in reaching the slimes and foods in the first place; once you've filled a corral once you can easily find enough slimes to do it again.

Incidentally, there's a chance that items you drop if you drown will turn up on the coast of the Dry Reef where those stone ring formations are. Of course, if you're carrying food and drown at night, it'll have almost certainly rotted by the time you get there.

there is no failstate whatsoever in either slime rancher or stardew valley, so basically you never need to stress about a single thing. in slime rancher especially, because most everything is easily replaceable even if there's a catastrophic tarr chain reaction on your ranch somehow.

You've eaten a raw egg, now try Balut :v:


Also fun fact, tomatoes and potatoes are in the same family(nightshade), and while potato fruits look pretty much exactly like cherry tomatoes, they're highly poisonous. Which is another reason why you should never eat a fruit salad with tomatoes in it

A tomato is a fruit because scientifically speaking "vegetable" is any plant. It's colloquially a culinary term, and rather arbitrarily means "some parts of plants that we eat but not other parts of plants that we eat". An avocado is a berry, but I wouldn't want to try avocado jam.

On the other hand if you know your SO likes to bake/cook and they ask you to pick up some fruit, it should not be hard to realize they're not interested in the more general botanical kind. Robin could have been more specific but Demetrius should really know by now what she likes to do with groceries.

On the subject of raw eggs, when I went off to church camp we always had an eating challenge. One year was just pickles and milk, but another year was the "Barbarian Blend", consisting of raw eggs, Diet Coke, grits, ketchup, mustard, and other edible foods that really shouldn't be put together. The styrofoam cups were pretty big, so only the senior managed to drink the whole thing; I drank about half of it before the people watching us just told us to forget it and move on to the next section of the relay.

Between this and asthma camp, I think it's just a law that summer camps have to be weird.

No, wisdom is selling people a tomato-based salad on a massive markup because it's full of "anti-oxidants"

There is a reason to continue using a watering can once you've fully sprinklered out your field: sprinklers go on first thing in the morning, so when you plant something if you want it to grow the day you plant it you still have to water the seeds.

I went to Math Camp back in '99. It was pretty fun, we got classes by folks like John Conway and Serge Lang (I think I'm remembering the right people, may have met Lang a couple of years later and I think Conway was the one scheduled who had to cancel, but I'm rambling now.) Fond memories include figuring out how to play chess on different topological boards, sharing the area with Magic: the Gathering and D&D camps, learning what gringos consider "spicy" salsa (quite a shock to my NMican palate, IMO the ketchup was hotter), and all crowding into the TV room to watch the last episode of MST3K.

Yeah, summer camps are weird.

I'm pretty sure the long knock-out timer is why the game advises you not to go out at night early on. When you get knocked out you sleep for 12 hours then until the next 6am. So if it's day time, you'll sleep for twelve then the rest of the night, but if you get knocked out at night, you sleep for 12 hours, then it's late morning/afternoon so you go all the way through the day to the next 6am.
