Country Story Appreciation

Hi! I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to read this and provide me feedback. It seems that some would prefer the text not to be centered. And some like and some dislike the three-column layout. I don't know what I can do about the layout. But the text shall be left-aligned!

Today, I feel like appreciating Country Story.

There is too many people complaining about it day and night. Although I understand there is a lot to complain about.

It's time to take some time and remember what we love about the game, don't you think?

I'm not sure why myself, but soon after the expansion update I suddenly felt so much better about Country Story. Partially because of expansion, but perhaps I just let go and moved on about the auto-sell. I still prefer no or optional auto-sell, but I can see nothing is changing.

After the expansion update, one thing I do appreciate more is definitely my old slow laptop. I used to think it was an old really horrible computer that's couldn't play cs at all, and kept getting errors etc.

Admittedly, my laptop is not too great. But there is something I noticed after the update.

One was the large amount of people complaining about how after expanding, Country Story is too slow to play, too painful. This actually freaked me out quite a bit. I waited a few days and expanded at an internet cafe, which has faster computers.

After going home. I loaded cs in a state of anxiety. However I found cs quite fine. Quite the same. There didn't seem to be more lag or more errors. Though it is still slow and sometimes errors appeared.

Because of this I had a small epiphany. I realized my laptop was not that slow. And I realized I knew my laptop. The signs of slowness, and what to do when it's slow or when errors keep appearing. I used my knowledge and optimized my cs playing experience.

Contrasting to before, one incident a couple of months prior where I spent 3 hours trying to work on my farm only to have majority of it not save, and having to do everything again. This happened at night. I was tired and stayed up to farm!

But now I know what to do. And am very happy that I can still play cs. With minimal slowness, usually. An occasionally it's even pretty smooth.

I've been blessed by cs. I've rarely had any selective bugs, I've almost always been able to get in, except once or twice but only for a day. With all the complaining I now know I'm pretty lucky. :D

====================

Another thing I've realized is orange trees are really really nice.

I've never planted oranges trees in a mass amount before. Actually almost never planted orange trees. I planted a few when trees came out but after that, none, zip, nada.

Well I've planted a bunch of orange trees for the Tree Spirit Drop rate guide on the forum.

And looking at them today I just think they are quite quite beautiful!

I'm just starting at the beautiful oranges <3 I'm infuriated with them

A reminder how good CS graphics are. ;)

==========================

It's true Country Story has it's ups and downs.

Yes we all see the numerous amount of downs. lol.

But I think we can agree that cs is really great!
And there are features about it we love!!

Unfortunately some of us are pushed pass the point where we'll keep playing.

But I hope we all do for a long time! ;)
