Stardew Valley

its a better harvest moon is all. good enough for me. the length of a single day is like perfectly timed to make it addictive

A year in. Soooo tempted to cheat more, I've already looked up some stuff on the wiki - especially for those fish that never seem to appear for the bundles.

I love this game. But I am in autumn of year two, and I have not caught a single fish. Lo, how I have tried. But I cannot do it. Fuck a chub.

You guys have made me feel better about myself

i'm the fishing golden boy. i have 2 left to finish off the fish tank bundles. i still can't get near the super slippery rare fish tho. i think you need to really plan ahead, have that fisherman's breakfast meal on hand. none of the tackles seem to really help.

xp oh god the fish thing drove me CRAZY until I finally understood you can hold down Button 1 instead of mashing it like a psycho

I know I can/should optimize my gardening by growing a single high yield crop in a staggered plan using strategic sprinklers. but I like the idea of growing a varied garden and making wacky dishes to sell back as i need cash. I am sure I will be in year 78 before I get shit right.

No dude playing this game ”optimally” is for wankers. Trust your instincts

I just.. I don't know why I'm so addicted to this game which is ostensibly super boring and repetitive

Starfruit?

i had to stop playing because i was losing days at a time to the lulling, hypnotic rhythm of it

of course now i'm similarly addicted to marvel puzzle quest

at least stardew doesn't have criminally-tempting in-app purchases :(

it's finally happening!

That explains why SD has blown back up on twitch. I promise to go back to playing it once I do everything else on my list of stuff

yeah i never finished my first year even

So I plumped for this and not regretting it so far.

Fishing is hard, but that's good.

And I cannot seem to get my fence gates to open.

..and will have to try out that multiplayer beta, my godson will be pleased to hear about this.

I started playing this again this week after dropping it for months (thanks Yakuza). Now I’m married to Abigail and I’ve got one of those irridium generators. I also constructed a cabin on my property without realising it was meant for a multiplayer friend, d’oh.

I also want to continue working on my friendships with people, but Abigail was sore about me giving pink cake to Haley.

Also, my cellar is full of cheese and wine and I want to produce more animal products but Marnie is never there.

I bought this and it arrived today and it’s very lovely and useful.

I stopped playing for months again but am back on it again. Who should I marry next time?

go chaos mode and marry alex

that guidebook looks amazing. if i was 10 i would be absolutely obsessed with it

this is an addictive game. my 8-year-old daughter and i have been playing separate games of it and she's like a season ahead of me already. we bought her that book for a "good job on school this year" present

Have you tried multiplayer with her? I guess you’d have to have two switches, unless cross-platform multiplayer is a thing

i don't think we have a way we can do that

both of my kids are playing this now. the 8-year-old is zooming ahead and spoils everything that's going to happen for me. the 4-year-old makes a new character (we have to spell out whatever names she wants to give the character and farm letter by letter), plays about a day, then goes back and starts a new game to make another new character.

the 8-year-old mainly seems to be interested in building relationships. she already has sam as her boyfriend in year 2. she doesn't farm or mine or fish at all.

big update out. Anyone tried yet? Not ventured into finding out about it yet as i'm ready for bed but just saw it trending

new one from the stardew guy
