Day 7: Favorite way to make money?
In the classic sense...
Mining, especially in Mineral Town and DS Cute (even though you could do the indoor farming cheat in DS Cute...)
It always felt like the fastest way to make money while trying to wait for your crops to grow, especially if you invested in a basket first instead of upgrading your bag (it feels like an eternity at first since your bag doesn’t have many slots, but it’s really worth it on the long run). Then afterwards, it became the challenge of how deep can you go before the day is through or I’m almost out of energy and I have no food!
Fishing always seemed like a mixed bag and took up too much of your time in a time-sensitive game and I would almost always get garbage. I do enjoy foraging, but depending on the game, it was extremely limited or fairly plentiful, but the amount of money is usually minimal.
And of course, farming and producing items will make the best money in the end, but I’ll be honest.... I was usually “done” playing the game once I got around to the point where I could build the makers. The makers didn’t fit my “schedule“, but I have weird priorities...
Kar asked if I could make a vector of Jamie and Cheese Sandwich awhile back for Year of the Horse/Jamie, finally got it done! @_@
I "tried" to give Jamie an Equestia Girls look.
(Also, Happy Late Birthday, Asa! >_< )
I bought some perler beads after my friend, Dark, bought some. Decided to make Mr. Saturn from the Mother series and Rabite from the Mana series to practice and try these out.
Day 30: Tell the tale of how exactly you found yourself getting into the HM series. Make it long and detailed! :D
Well, I was first introduced to it when I was probably around 8 years old. I went to FuncoLand (a couple of years before it became Gamestop) with my mom and brother to sell off several NES games.
While we were waiting, my brother and I were browsing the games and I remember him showing me the cover for Harvest Moon (but I guess it was either an older print or a European copy?) and he asks me what genre I thought the game was and since I wasn’t used to simulators at the time, I said horror because of the night sky and silhouettes, which pleased him and he flipped over the box and showed me that it was a farming sim (I hadn’t heard the term “Harvest Moon” before, so what can you do?) I was intrigued, but we didn’t get to buy it, which bummed both of us.
Some time later, my brother had discovered emulators and was playing Harvest Moon, I ended up watching him from time to time and it just caught my interest, especially when he hit festivals. I remember him even asking me when I thought he should propose to Maria (we agreed the Starry Night Festival, but discovered you can’t do that lol).
Years later, I was probably a freshman in high school, my brother brought me along to go to Gamestop (different store though) and I noticed mfomt and I was going to buy it, but my brother was told that it wasn’t good by his friends and told me to put it back (I was naive and did), but it bugged me. So I ended up getting a rom of it and played it like crazy over the weekend and scolded him for making me put it back.
I was going to buy it the very next week, but it was already gone... (Honestly, not for story effect, anything with anime artwork was usually sold by the time you visited the store again).
I did eventually get it, but I had to wait a few years before it was in the wild again (I was discouraged to use ebay at the time), it was around the same time DS Cute came out (which I pre-ordered and got my black kitty! Though the house fire ate the doll... But the cartridge survived!)
HM 30 Day Challenge
I couldn't be patient... so I "time-traveled". Here's my attempts to make BJ and Pinoko's outfits... I know I'll end up trying to make more... it's addictive.
Hopefully, I'll have a few more Higurashi outfits tomorrow, was planning to do more tonight and I noticed the time.
Every time I see Gourmet’s new look, I just keep thinking this...
