After a fairly stressful day at work I spent the evening playing RollerCoaster Tycoon. I definitely don't have a headache and a stiff neck from sitting in the same place for 3 hours listening to merry-go-round music...

Random memory / observation...

Here in #Saskatchewan, we have lots of place names that are memorable or unusual (for English speakers) or just plain odd [1]. Some, like the province's name, are just anglicized words or phrases from various First Nations languages (flavours of Cree, Dene, and others). Others are English translations of such phrases, which may sound odd to native English speakers. Occasionally this oddness gets them used in various contexts, like in Weird Al's "Canadian Idiot", where he says "Eat their weight in Kraft macaroni, and dream of driving a zamboni all over Saskatchewan".

The random recollection is of a game I used to play on the Amiga computer back in the late 80s or early 90s. I don't recall its name, but it was a driving/racing game of some sort. One of its levels was called Moose Jaw, which is one of our memorable place names (a mid-sized city and home to a Canadian Armed Forces air base).

The funny part is that the level included towering cliffs, jungle, an enormous waterfall ... anyone who's been to southern Saskatchewan will now be chuckling to themselves. I guess the Swedish developer (IIRC) just thought it was a good, unique name. I doubt he or she had ever been here.

[1] For example, we have towns for both #Elbow *and* #Eyebrow.

trying to find mods for #StardewValley that improve the #COMBAT or add #MORE or at least add more #WEAPONS / #ARMOR / #MONSTERS / #SOMETHING

the gaming-audience for this #computergame is kinda telling, though, when the the top mod on nexus for combat is one largely used to make the combat #EASIER

clearly i am trying to make the game something both the creator and the audience believe it's #NOT

regardless: i persist

i do like this game and its aesthetic, i just get #BORED and need #VIOLENCE

#stardewvalley #combat #more #weapons #armor #monsters
