In playing around with the idea too. I can beat the vanilla game in my sleep, and I enjoy Thorium's extra content, but from what I understand, Calamity ups the difficulty several notches, so I'm a bit hesitant.

I have never left the Terraria addiction. Mods have made that significantly worse haha.

I just got off work at the business factory. I did three businesses today!

Absolutely agree.

I kinda think this whole approach is what got us where we are today. When you deal in absolutes and don't allow people room and time to grow, and instead force this impossible standard of perfection, you get people who give up trying to do the right thing. Then they fall deeper into the rabbit hole they were climbing themselves out of. It's exhausting.

No one is going to be a perfect ally. People need time to adjust and learn, and we need to have grace and let them have it. People make mistakes. Shit happens. Let's dispense with this hostility and have some compassion in guiding them.

What a dork-ass loser.

 
 
 

This one was a little over a decade ago, when plasma TVs were still manufactured and sold, and LCD TVs were still catching in terms of awesomeness.

I was a young, bright-eyed electronics associate working for the big "blue and yellow save money" company. This particular day was a steady but peaceful day, and I was working the counter, cashing people out and directing them to various areas in the department where they could find things.

I had just finished ringing a customer out for a PS3 game when a fella walks up to the counter and the following exchange took place:

Strange Customer: "Hey man... do you sell TVs?"

Me: caught off guard by the question, I slowly turned to the TV wall that sat in full view roughly 30ft away, filled with 30+ different TV models, then slowly turned back to him "Sir, I don't think I can help you."

SC: "Oh alright man, no problem."

And then he just left. It remains, to this day, the most bizarre customer interaction I have ever had, and I would not be surprised if it was a part of a YouTube prank video. I've been at the store I work at for over 13 years now, and nothing has topped this one for weirdness.
