      I wish they’d make a simulator where you have to get your family to the farmland. Like, hunt for food, ford rivers, drown the oxen, lose half your kids to rattlesnake bites and dysentery…

          I think the Xennial craze of homesteading is a direct result of this game. This and Little House on the Prairie prepared us to handle crop failures, coyotes in the hen house, and having to care for someone in opioid withdrawal. Haven’t lost any oxen irl though.
