The game I remembered

[Teleskop]

I can not find moral to these story.

There isn't a moral. It's a recollection of experiences you sack of shit.

Call him like that one more time and you will regret it kid

What would this game even be like for someone playing it casual? Would it be appealing? What would your goals be like?

Somewhere in legacy there is a cupboard full of q500 chicken bones, next to a bone clay kiln. I never played to quite the same extent as you, and I never botted, but I do remember keeping up three village claims and putting far too much thought into the quality of my carrots.

Last world my goals were, gold and silver. We hadn't found any in all our legacy mining, so why not, something new to me. I decided that I couldn't be doing with livestock, and wasn't even going to have chickens - but then I wanted eggs, and the new recipes using them were nice, so a chicken coop appeared. And a rabbit hutch, because why not, rabbits were new. But I was merrily mining around because I could, and found silver, and was happy (and then, hey, someone else came along and acquired some livestock and fed me cheese, so that helped the mining go faster). I was living in a deliberately untidy palisaded hermitage, although I also helped build the very pretty stone tower next door; I was friendly with my neighbours; I was in a realm while it lasted; I was casual and it was fun.

(Two days before the end of the world, I made an alt to practice being new again and run around saying 'what do you *mean* I can't make this thing yet, what skill do I have to buy for that?'. A tree gave me a gold ring as a christmas present, so technically, gold was also acquired that world).

This world we are once again the same three people who made that bone clay kiln, still with a similar desire for reality-avoidance, but possibly with slightly better reality-digital balance (possibly). In my case at least a fluoxetine prescription is really helping because hello, yes, depression and anxiety are really quite annoying things to live with and harvesting fictional carrots once helped me feel like I was actually doing something (brain chemistry is *weird and complicated*, ok?) but in my case the fluoxetine helps me get around to doing things in the real world more often as well (YMMV, does not work for everyone, other things not necessarily including medication also work for other people, etc), which in turn I think helps me enjoy my gaming time without getting quite as caught up in it as I used to.

So yeah, my plan for this world? Build something pretty. So far that has mostly meant, do some mining and find us some metal, but mining is still fun so that's fair enough. We'll see how long it takes to get to something I feel confident is pretty

Whenever i find myself thinking something like a video game was a waste of time, i think,

"Did i actually enjoy it? Did i really have fun? Or did it change me for the good? Did it effect me, anyone else or anything for the better? Did it make me or anyone else happy? If it did, then it was in no way a waste of time."

Haven & Hearth falls into i actually enjoyed it. I really did have fun, and, believe it or not, it really did change me for good.

Ever since i was born, i lived far out in the country, up in northern US. I never talked to any people or socialized in any way very much. A month or two after W8 started, i actually started to contribute to the forums. Ever since then, this place has exponentially increased my overall social skills.

And for me always actually enjoying it, and really having fun,

I've always been a "casual" player. As in, my long-term goal is to get every item (Whether it be from foraging or crafting or whatever) build every object, besically do everything you can possibly do in the game. While other people waste time and use countless alts and bots to get their stats and quality's higher, i'm either out exploring, seeing the beautiful world of Haven, and possibly meeting other people. That's always been fun to me, it's always made me happy.
