This is my first AC game so all of the villagers are new to me. My two starter villagers are lame, but I met a valley girl type cat named Merry and invited her to my island.

My wife got some terrifying robot ostrich as one of her starters.

When does shit pick up a little bit? I assume once I get the shop built that may open more options? Right now my entire day is just catching the same few bugs and fish, trying to get tickets. But the islands I'm going to don't seem to be much different in terms of what I can hunt and gather? What am I missing or am I still just too early in?

Trying to get iron for the shop is infuriating. Go to an island, find maybe 3 rocks, two with clay, one iron. Break tools and end up with less iron.

I'm in my fourth day and ready I have nothing to do but catch the same fish over and over. I feel like I'm missing something.
don't break the rocks first. You can hit them 8 times to spit out iron, stones or clay (or eggs, grr). then break them to get your last thing from them.


Standing in front of a rock now. How to I got it without breaking it? Do I need to use a flimsy?

Just started playing last night. I hope things pick up quickly, I was extremely bored. Also I wish I could disable the voices, they're giving me a headache.

I just poured nearly 120 hours into Stardew Valley over the past few weeks, so it's not like I have an issue with tedious task based simulation games. Animal Crossing is just moving too slowly and there doesn't feel like there's anything to do.

I've watched too much British television, it seems. When I call to order, I usually end up saying "I'd like to place an order for take away".

The Asian places think nothing of it. Some of the American places will literally ask me what I mean. As if the context doesn't explain what I want.

I ordered in front of my friend and mid-order Ibhear him behind me say "Take away? What the fuck?".

I just envy all of the curry takeaways you English lads have.

Underrated. Have a decent following but I never see them mentioned when discussing 90s indie bands. See Neutral Milk discussed a lot obviously which I'm surprised you didnt include. I guess they became mainstream enough?

Kinda. You can only be so underground popular before you become mainstream popular, although it's very rare that media doesn't catch on, which is the case for NMH.


I think another problem with including NMH is they only have two albums. Avery Island is okay. Obviously Aeroplane is the shining beacon indie rock holy grail though.

This thread is weird. Usually in these threads I realize bands/albums are older than I thought. I this case, it's backwards.

I was going to mention The Shins, based entirely off of Oh Inverted World and Chutes Too Narrow. But both are 2000s.

Same deal with Pinback. I really had myself convinced Pinback were 90s. Nada Surf had two in the 90s but they've gotten better over time.

Not sure who I would consider a favorite of those listed. I've listened to, owned, and seen BJM more than any of them though.

I've been congested for a good six weeks. But over the last 24 hours it's been worse. I feel a little achey, but both jobs have been extra hellish. Trying to find my thermometer now.

I come in contact with a ton of people every day, including truck drivers going in and out of Columbus and NYC. I've pretty much accepted that I will eventually get it.

In other news, vendors have been telling me that a few positive cases popped up at the main Frito Lay facility in Georgia and that production may be shut down. So, get your Doritos while you can.

Vendors tend to bullshit a lot though.

I said yesterday that 350 out of stock was the biggest I've ever seen in 12 years.

Today the truck was supposed to be 1050 pieces. It's 250. So 800 out of stock. And most of what came in was pet food. There was only one pallet of actual food items. Mostly canned veggies, Chef Boyardee and Spaghetti-Os.

Wife's work finally shut down. For now they are giving everyone full pay and benefits while off too.

I'm glad they shut down though. She doesn't work in a high traffic store, but it's a very high end jewelry place. As more panic and unrest sets in I was starting to worry about robberies more than covid.

Our truck just pulled in. People who noticed it packed into the paper aisle. Some who were getting ready to leave got out of their cars and came back in.

We probably only got 25-40 packs of TP total today. They were gone in literal seconds.

I work receiving. I've had people just walking in through the back asking for things.

One of the bread vendors said he started driving with a gun because people are getting extra aggressive with him already.

Gross. Considering the first confirmed case out here is at Washington hospital, I have a feeling that will change. All of the money and chips and touchscreens and smoking, drinking old people, the casino has to just be a Petri dish.

Drinking some Sierra Nevada Pale Ale right now.

I'll be serving at the brewery tomorrow. Can't say I'm super stoked about it, especially with cases being reported in the county. Breweries here are being slammed too. I guess there's nothing else to do. One of our most popular food trucks tomorrow too.

But between working the brewery and working receiving at a grocery store, I think it's inevitable that I get it. Kinda hoping that I get it sooner than later tbh.

As soon as we wheel TP or Lysol onto the floor we get swarmed. 350 out of stock today on a 900 piece truck. Biggest OOS I've ever seen.

Looks like canned veggies and pasta are going to be the next thing hit. Rice was dented a bit.

Strangely water hasn't seemed TOO hit yet.

The brew festival that my wife and I poured a lot of hours into has been cancelled/postponed. Thankfully it wasn't OUR business, but the owner may be out 20k if this thing doesn't happen in the next few months. We're scrambling to find businesses to buy expensive kegs that we had brought in from around the country.

For most of the week we were given the option of keeping it going, but today a city official shut it down with some very ominous language. Phrases like "New information", "possible contact", "possible patients being screened" and "effort to contain".

In other words, I suspect that the virus has hit Pittsburgh and hasn't been announced yet.

Except that the warehouses that stores get their stock from don't have unlimited supply. And the warehouses that the warehouses get THEIR stock from, also do not have unlimited supply.

Our truck was supposed to be 800 pieces today. There were 300 out of stocks. I don't think I've ever seen an OOS number that high in 12 years.

This is the paper aisle at 730 am, right after we put the truck up. When I looked at noon there was pretty much nothing.
