AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Entei, what are you doing?
You're not a Diglet/Dugtrio... or even a ground type for that matter.
Go home Entei, you're drunk.

By the nonexistent power vested in me, I rule that all comics from here on out must have at least one Entei edit.

Also, Entei's a dog. Something would be terribly, terribly wrong if it didn't know how to dig.

Fantastic game, but the good path just defies all logic! Leave him in the ditch alone, and he survives!? The only clue is the meta, video game logic that ignoring him is harder than helping him

Or the other kind of meta video game logic. "If I go down, there will obviously be plot, so I'd better check out all the other places beforehand."
Granted, Cave Story didn't usually shut you out of places, but it's common enough in games that the above has become the default approach for me.

edit: how do I syntax

I actually did manage to get far in this game. Partly because my sister and I decided to share a save file after a while and partly because it was the first Harvest Moon for either of us. It got to the point where all the crops were trees (no watering), we had the milk room (the cows milk themselves!) and endless supplies of bird feed and fodder. Every in game day consisted of waking up, letting the animals out, picking fruit, feeding err'body, loving err'body, collecting milk and eggs, checking the seeds in the seed maker (tree fruits sold better this way), selling stuff and then letting the animals in and going to bed. I only did it to pass in game time and only because I had some childish hope that my main character (who now had a full head of grey hair) would die off and his son (who was now the age that his father was at the start) would take over the farm, because he never shut up about wanting to do so. It never happened.
