Using a handheld weedeater/trimmer to mow an entire lawn is so silly. Please tell me there's at least an unlockable push mower. (I think the lawns shown in this are too small for a riding mower, but I guess the game isn't super realistic)

Also, the host duo of just Abby and Alex is super chill and I'm really digging it. More like this!

@garwalk: I was just about to mention how ludicrous it is to mow grass with a weedeater. A sickle would be more efficient.

I totally mow my lawn with a weedeater and it sucks.

My lawn is tiny though, so the space I have to dedicate to storing a weedeater as opposed to a lawnmower totally makes up for the extra time I have to spend.

Have you ever played Viva Pinata, Abby? There is a lot in that game which directly mirrors that but also has cute fake animals that you can make fuck!

Came here to check the lawn mower missing complaints. Thank you for delivering. You don't use a weed whacker to mow a normal lawn. Is that really not that widely known?

Also, Americans don't call them "gardens", we call them "yards". British call it their "back garden" we call it the "back or front yard." And in that yard there may be a garden which refers to a specific area that one intentionally grows food, plants, flowers, or whatever you like. My grandma used to grow peas and tomatoes in her garden and I had to mow the yard around it all the time.

I'm not sure I want to watch this quick look without someone inevitably having to explain house flipping to Dan.

@ybbaaabby You really need to try farming simulator. I have a feeling that's the game you're looking for.

I've had a yard all my life and I absolutely loathe caring for my own (extremely wet and sizable) lawn AND anyone who mows their lawn multiple times a week. As someone who's in their late 20's... The cult around lawn care is something I'm just not into.

Also, yes I have "mowed" my lawn with a weedwacker that took a couple days to complete after the riding lawn mower broke and it sucked. What also sucks is when your new neighbor parks on your lawn, ripping up a portion that is now even harder to mow.

Similarly to Alex, I recently drove in England and it was intensely stressful at times. However, drivers on the highway tended to be more polite than the drivers back home. I almost got used to it near the end of the trip, only to have to keep telling myself to turn the right way when back on US roads.

They have some wild roundabouts around highway interchanges too. I was very happy for GPS.

@spacebutler back in 2017 I went to Scotland. I was so nervous about driving on the other side of the road. I think it took me about 5 minutes to get used to it. It was made a lot easier when I realized everything was just mirrored since the drivers side is on the other side as well. You always want to keep your body closest to oncoming traffic (is how I remembered it).

Coming back home was the hard part. Even two years later I still sometimes have to think about it at lights.

I don't think I know a single human in my real life who has never done yard work. That's country life for you I guess. Also, "Do you remember mulch?" made me laugh harder than it should have.

@betamax I was waiting for Alex to reference this the entire time. I nominate Dan as the new Simpsons editor.

I really enjoyed this QL. Abby and Alex seem like genuinely nice people, and just getting to sort of sit in with them while they shoot the breeze and play a chill video game was something I really needed right now. Thanks for doing what you do, GB crew.

There is nothing about this that I would find meditative. My entire gameplay experience would be tainted by either having to mow the lawn with a weedeater, thinking about how I'm going to have to mow the lawn with a weedeater soon, or thinking about how I just had to mow the goddamn lawn with a goddamn weedeater, what the hell, who hires a landscaper who doesn't have their own lawn mower, FIRE ME YOU STUPID GAME MY LANDSCAPING COMPANY DOESN'T DESERVE THE WORK I'M NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY I SHOULD JUST GO BACK INTO ACCOUNTING

I am absolutely shocked that Alex didn't make a Simpsons reference. Frankly, I feel offended that he didn't.

Totally normal person "mowing" a lawn with a weed eater, and somehow convincing someone to pay them for it.
