Neither of you get it. Ironically his post highlights why he doesn't get it.
He's so far in to the game he basically has no idea how things feel in the early game anymore.
The recent harvest cost changes were beyond pointless.
The game was already 'challenging', and things are continually nerfed. If you're already significantly in to the game then many things that change DON'T AFFECT YOU. You've ALREADY benefitted from how things functioned before nerfs.
Edit - I should also add how ridiculous it is that the only people who seem to 'cope' with these nerfs are LONG term players that borderline know the game inside and out. That level of mastery should not be required. Day 248 on a pure run? Jesus christ, this game truly has bloated to high heavens.
