If all apps that you want to use work, there's no reason for you to be concerned.

As yet another 30-something year old I've never even seen a cheque. Is that a USA thing?

And it worked. Try finding any professional art/design jobs that don't use Adobe.

That's the issue with online advertising in a nutshell, isn't it.

Looking at it from the outside it doesn't look like a failure at all, it provides the prison industrial complex with an endless stream of ~~slaves~~ cheap prison labour. If we assume that that's the actual goal, it's a resounding success.

Where are you from? Where are you going? Can't really give you advice without knowing those things.

As a general rule: don't expect perfection. Some things will suck, and if you go in expecting everything to be perfect you'll be disappointed. Also, wherever you go is still a normal place, filled with normal people, living normal lives. Don't be a nuisance to the locals, and don't expect/demand anyone not working in hospitality to go out of their way on your behalf (and even people working in hospitality, the "the customer is always right" mentality isn't a thing everywhere).

I'm right with you on Stardew Valley. Might be because I'm a city kid but I just can't connect with the game. I know that it's supposed to be "cosy" but my idea of cosy is a downtown apartment, not a farm. It just doesn't work for me.

Also, you'd need to know for certain that the planet you're sending your generation ship to is habitable for your species. While this may be technologically trivial for a society that can build a functional generation ship, the timescales for such projects (literally hundreds or even thousands of years from the launch of the probe to the yes/no signal) makes it extremely difficult to actually organise.
