  • This reads like a Rimworld post.

    I don’t think there’s a Rimworld community on Lemmy and I’m not going on Reddit anymore so I’ll just throw this comment into the void and hope some fans are out there. 👋

    Also in Rimworld terms the answer is corn (if monoculture) and send everyone to harvest at the first sign of blight.

    But in both Rimworld and real life, a monoculture strategy isn’t sustainable. Diversifying via multiple food sources reduces your risk of disaster leading to starvation.




  • I agree. I was in college at 19 and I would not have been able to grow as a person in the same way, if I had been dating a 25 year old at the time. You’re just at different stages of life at this point.

    I’m not saying it’s impossible for this to work out well for some people. Clearly in the comments here it has, and I have friends with a greater age difference who are now happily married.

    But in general, no I don’t think this is a good idea. If it was the same age gap but meeting later in life, no big deal. But a 19 year old is at a very different point in life than a 25 year old and she needs to be able to grow on her own outside of a relationship with an older person.




  • So I work in QA. I know how to troubleshoot things, it’s literally my job.

    Recently my game card for Zelda TOTK kicked the bucket, so I tried contacting Nintendo support.

    Again, I work in QA. So I made sure my Switch software was up to date and reported in the beginning to Support that I had done this and told them the version number.

    First they ask me to check for a software update. 😐 It gets worse from there.

    After copying and pasting several different sets of troubleshooting steps to me (all of which unnecessarily started off with checking for a system update) the Support agent eventually finds out I’m using an SD Card for external memory on my switch.

    So I turn off the Switch, take out the SD Card, reboot the switch, and still the game will not launch. I report this to Nintendo Support. Who then tell me that I need to reformat my SD Card.

    My brother in Christ, if I am still hitting the issue, without the SD Card in use, then reformatting the SD Card will do literally nothing to help.

    Complete waste of my time. I closed the chat and went to Target, who happily let me exchange for another copy of the game that functioned again.
