Hoof trimming?
*reglemented, but yeah.
I feel this
I love your humor and can relate.
I'm glad May is into her job. If she's enjoying it, even better.
"You do the job that's in front of you" - Samuel Vimes, in one of my favourite Discworld novels; it's become my mantra over the past two years, and the only way I manage to keep on adulting. I think I'm going to have it tattooed on my forearm so it's always facing me.
I love Terry Pratchett novels and the watch series was my absolute favorite of his Discworld series. Hit me hard when he passed away.
I am kinda surprised that "Hoof Trimming Simulator" isn't on Steam yet. Nate > Hoof GP
I agree with Marigold! I would give anything to not have to be a functional adult right now!!!
I would be making fun of the idea of a 'hoof trimming simulator' if I didn't literally yesterday get an add for a paw trimming game or whatever it was T_T *input I don't want to live on this planet anymore meme here*
At first, I read that as "fictional adult", and was concerned that Jeph was getting meta.
Can we get "Being a functional adult sucks" put on a t-shirt, please? Along with some appropriate graphic, of course.
Am I the only adult here that is not conflict avoidant? I'd love a manager, and an assitant, and if I can sit in the chair while i do yoga, my assistant can drive me there.
So, in XHT-Sim, are you the farrier, or are you the goat? Or is OniBurger going to trim MommyMilkers hooves? That seems weirdly . . . wrong. I'm not sure why.
It’s like a nail salon!
One velveeta smoothie please!

Adulting is hard. One star. Wouldn't recommend. Can I get an AI manager?
Sure, but since this is world doesn't have Marigold's dad, your AI manager is Tay (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/microsoft-shuts-down-ai-chatbot-after-it-turned-into-racist-nazi/)
The negative 0.5% is all ratings from Punchbot, who doesn’t understand that it’s a simulator and is concerned about all the horses he has unwittingly injured.
That said, Crushbot also has some of the same issues and also unwittingly injured a simulated horse and was crushed by the experience.
that smoothie sounds really, really bad
Oy, yes. I went to go reread the comic because I hadn't seen the ingredients list, and was momentarily confused because in the comic text it's just orange. It is only in the seekret notes to us Patreon supporters -- which I'd missed the first time -- that Jeph shares the horror. Luckily, my headcanon is that the notes like that are non-canonical. :)
I am fascinated by the question: which part of the phrase is modified by “Extreme”?
Simulator. The VR uses ASCII-art.
“Being a functional adult sucks.” Truth
I need to know what makes it extreme though...
haptic feedback
For real though hoof trimming videos are surprisingly so engaging. The best one to watch IMO is Nate the Hoof Guy. He's a really experienced and skilled expert and he always takes such good care of the cows he does trimming for and values their comfort so much. He also is super educational and tries his best to explain what's going on and what he's doing. Just be aware there's sometimes blood and squicky things he deals with but its real satisfying seeing how he takes care of them and sometimes shows the aftermath when everything's healed up.
Can confirm. It's a rollercoaster ride with lots of near nopes, but still good. I can see the appeal for the Milkmaids.
Marigold needs to give the game a farrier shake than she has so far
Mare-igold is a pro at the game.
I was distracted by yoga shorts, what's happening?
You beat me to it, panel 2 is a wonderful work of art.
I read "fictional adult" and got confused about the fourth wall for a sec
Work/life balance is a hard thing.
The blender looks like it has a face. I don't suppose it houses an AI...
I wonder which calf is going to show up unexpectedly.
The left one.
Being a functional adult has been sucking all day. This strip arrived in my inbox at the tail end of an 8 hour shift trying to solve the problems of "we need to run a university" and "everyone has Covid" simultaneously, and basically -- thanks Mar, I needed that.
The "vaccines and masks and ventilation and air filters" solution keeps getting sabotaged by people refusing to be functional adults about the situation, also.
Smoothie of the gods . o O (I haven't had circus peanuts in decades! They're so terrible I love it!)
My cat will eat anything. She eats kale! But we once offered a circus peanut, she sniffed it and then backed away slowly with a wince on her face that said she would never trust us again.
I wonder if she knows of Aurelia's role in mommymilkers.
Not yet.
You can only pretend to be a stupid-rich teenager for so long. Eventually you'll have to at least pay taxes.
That game sounds like it’s off the hoof.
Goat simulator rec
I'm waiting for the Hoof GP DLC before I spring for that game.
I liked its predecessor, “Extreme Choice Shearing Simulator” where you play with another player as a lesbian couple who shear sheep, goats, alpacas, and llamas trying to balance working with their clients’s herds and making it big on YouTube and TikTok.
Being an object-oriented adult, on the other hand...
Also sucks, but in a more classified way
“Being a functional adult sucks.” Mood.
Big fucking mood.
Oh Mar. Most of us fail at it, don't worry.
Poor Marigold. Being a functional and successful adult can have its drawbacks.
I know the feeling Marigold, it'll be okay ❤️
