Updates!:
Vague title this time, but it's been an interesting past week. While some things went completely fine, despite the cold temperatures lingering here... we had the washing machine suddenly stop in the middle of laundry day. We're hoping it's just something that can be easily fixed, but if not, we'll have to get a new washer, which is not going to be fun. Though, given this washer's age, something was bound to happen sooner or later. Nothing keeps on working perfectly indefinitely after all. Other than that, the new fish tank is fully set up and doing alright. We had to purchase some medicine for the rice fish in quarantine. It's so hard to diagnose what's wrong, whether it's a parasite or wasting disease. Both have such similar symptoms. We're trying not to lose the last 4 adults we have to this....thing. Though, while at the fish store, I noticed they had ottocinculus in again so purchased a couple to help with my tank. I used to have 4 to begin with, but only 2 remained so I also felt that with a bigger tank, having 4 again, given they are social group fish, was a smart choice. So everyone is getting along and all seems stable and good. Still have several months before the tank fully cycles, but we've given it a jump start and that seems to be going well.
I did try a game this past weekend as well...and I have to say, I'm glad I received the game for free, because it's way out of my mental league. I only played for 6 hours, but it was difficult for my brain to handle the economic side of it. I'm sure it's one of those that you have to keep doing and practicing with, especially if numbers and commerce are not a forte in your knowledge pool, but it did become a bit frustrating. I spent 5 of those hours just in the tutorial stages and realized I wasn't even half way through the tutorial by then. That alone boggles my mind. Usually the longest tutorial I have that is right up front is maybe 10-30 minutes long. Most tutorials are spread through out in the games I generally play so when you come across something new or hit a new button, it explains it to you then. But 5 hrs and not even half way through? O.O I do feel like the audience of this sort of game is maybe on the small side. Not sure who would be willing to sit for days to go through all 14-15 tutorial stages instead of just playing the game on their own and attempting to learn as you go.
Oh well. I gave it a good go though.
I can tell you, after that long on the same thing, my dreams were nothing but numbers and economics and watching little people go about their day XD
Thank you for everyone's support and patience!
