I'm experiencing some similar disappointment with the Hearth and Home update, but have decided I'm just gonna have to adjust my play style a bit. However, the flashing numbers on the stamina bar and food icons are just soooo ugly. I can't even ignore it bc the stamina number is perpetually changing and the food icon numbers are flashing half the time. It keeps pulling me out of the game and breaking any feeling of immersion. anyone else experiencing this?

I think your problem is a bit funny, it got nothing to do with you really.
I recall people whining and complaing about needing a timer. And here you are saying its immersion breacking, which i agree on it could be, it should be a option insted of forced on you.
