    I guess on some level there’s something wholesome about it being a gardening game. I wonder how much of the success is owed to the natural human inclination towards farming

      What? Is there a natural human inclination to farming?

      I ask because I’ve always had a natural disinclination to anything out in the sun.

        I’ve always been an indoors gamer type myself. Then when I was in my mid thirties I decided to grow a couple tomato plants in pots. Now I’m apparently a gardner. As much as I complain about it, I really like it. Seeing the seeds sprout, eating to veggies. I think I spend more growing than if I bought it, but I’ve still come to like it a lot.

          That’s just growing things.

          I have a few little house plants, that were foisted on me by my sister. But by no stretch of the imagination is that at all related to farming.

          Even gardening at its most extreme, only might be a hobby farm.

          Actual farming, is a whole other kind of annoying. Its just way different when your lively hood depends on it.

            I suppose then a more accurate description would have been horticulture; but I’m using “farming” here as in planting and growing things, not for subsistence necessarily
