As I pick my tiny Paleo Pines guide to new dino looks up off cohost (where nobody will look at it) and place it on reddit (where 30 people will look at it) I am once again contemplating how spending a lot of time hanging out in AAA gaming spaces gets me accustomed to tools and guides and analysis ~just happening~ because in those games a billionty talented enthusiastic fans exist to tackle math and tables and videos.
And then I go play one of my Games Designed Specifically To Please Me, Wobble T. Gong and suddenly my half-assed write-ups and crappy MS Paint-tier visual aids are worth posting because if I don't post it... possibly nobody will! Possibly it won't exist at all on the public internet where anyone can look at it. Because adorable indie titles where you can pet the animal friends usually don't win a billionty fans, and the smaller your fan headcount the lower the odds that some freak who likes [boring yet valuable info collating task] will exist to serve up answers and clarity and help.
I don't feel special or anything, it's just another "oh right..." moment every time I remember that, like, my table analyzing Paleo Pines crop values– which is blatantly useful since it's a FARM SIM– might actually be useful for other people, because possibly nobody else beat me to running the math simple arithmetic!

Oh, I should probably crosspost that one to Steam Guides too. Oops.
