“video games let you pursue your deepest darkest fantasies” yes stardew valley lets me be part of a tight knit walkable community ur so right abt that!!! jokes aside this was such a lovely little article that made me tear up - i have so many feelings about these villagers who i’ve spent hundreds of hours with 🥹💙 i started playing acnh (my first animal crossing) recently and while it’s quite fun i definitely missed the personal story lines that sdv delivered so well

I found Stardew during the pandemic, I credit my ability to endure to this game. Congratulations on your perfection run!

First of all congrats on the amazing achievement!! I have not even gotten close to even getting 10 in all the skills 😭

Stardew has gotten me through some rough times and is such a great game. Enjoyed reading your take and especially exploring the background behind the game!

glad to hear you love stardew too! make no mistake, it took me a very, very long time to hit perfection lol. any progress is good progress—I played the game for fun until I realized I was about 80% of the way to completing it.

I've heard so much about this game and did not realize it was this complex nor detailed in its lore! I feel so bad now for assuming it was one of those simple farming games 😭 sounds like a wonderful pasttime that i might seriously consider trying over christmas break!!
