I realize stardew valley has become the de facto farming game inspiration for all indies now but what I really desperately want is a game inspired by the sickos.png part of rune factory where each individual soil plot on your farm has both a level (and can level up from being used repeatedly) AND tracks soil nutrient values to force you to rotate crops and also the dirt has a Defense stat for how likely it is to be destroyed by hurricanes AND individual seeds/crops have levels and you can selectively breed crops to make them higher level and then they sell for more and make stronger food and also higher level crops give the soil more xp so that you can grow better crops more easily so that y

well, see, there are a lot of things to consider. which things are good to buy, which words are good to say, which foods are good to eat, et cetera. how to be a good friend, how to be a good parent, how to be a good partner. things to consider which make the world a bit better. there are a lot of them! too many to think about at once, actually. you can usually only think about a few at at time. sometimes only one at a time.

so we invented society so that even if you weren't considering something, you can be sure that someone else is. and they can help you by considering something that you want to consider, but you forgot to, or you were too busy, or something. so it's very obnoxious when you can't rely on society to think about the things that are important, especially if society thinks about things that are unimportant, or bad. like when society sells you things that do not help you or the world very much. or when the behavior you have been taught does not help you or the people around you. it means you have to choose between what society is considering and what you are considering, instead of knowing that both you and society would consider the same things.

now the problem is that society is everyone, all the people, including you. so its hard to get society to think about the right things. but if you participate with as many people as you can, you can all work together to make society a little better at remembering which things are important to consider. then you will have more energy for having fun with your friends because society is taking care of you instead of making you do everything yourself.
