@wallhackio if you can tolerate noises that is probably the correct move

@wallhackio i mean same but sometimes you just wanna beat a game in two hours

@wallhackio i play games with the sound off bc i’m autistic so i could not comment

@wallhackio you dont have to use any outside sources to do the farming, the in game explanations are solid but it IS apparently very accurate to the time period the game is set (during the Sakoku policy)

@wallhackio refunct if you want something short

@wallhackio sakuna of rice and ruin

@wallhackio have you played hades yet

@The_T @wallhackio jackbox wishes it could be the super monkey ball 2 party games

@The_T @wallhackio i think we mostly did racing but i remember the bowling one being hilarious

@wallhackio @The_T how did you feel about the party pack games

@wallhackio but then i would have to get a steam account :/

@soph_sol @kittyc i hope you enjoy! it seems like that place’s stock changes regularly since they are actually an oat farm / oat processor that just does small batch beans on the side so you may get lucky and see some other less common beans if you keep an eye on them? but yeah frustrating that the uncommon beans are not more easily findable!

@soph_sol @kittyc my experience is that small farm granny smiths are still quite different from grocery store smiths and the same is true for beans but fair enough! i will recommend the black lentils which at least in US grocery store dont show up often (we just get red and green) despite imo being the best lentil

@soph_sol @kittyc not a ton of variety but they do sell beans in reasonable direct to consumer portions! https://adagioacres.com/product-category/oats/

@soph_sol @kittyc this farm seems to sell lentil-containing soup mixes so maybe if you called them and asked they’d mail you Just The Lentils instead??? https://www.swallowtailfarmstead.ca/store/p552/Lentil_%26_Herb_Curry_Mix.html

downside: having to call and ask

@kittyc @soph_sol middle class liberals should learn to appreciate the humble bean imo

@soph_sol @kittyc i think usually its the storage issues that get smaller farms? for a small farm that only does fresh fruit/veg they often aren’t really equipped to store what they harvest for more than a few days whereas dried beans depend on an economy of harvesting all at once and then storing to sell thruout the year

they may still be amenable though to doing at least some quantities, esp if they can mark some portion of the crop down as guaranteed quick sales (thru putting it in CSAs or preorder or whatever) — a farm near my house recently acquired a dehydrator so they can sell dried fruit outside of the growing season and its so nice to get a cup of cranberries in with my fresh produce every week!
