Does anyone have opinions on Stardew Valley? My wife really liked the Wii Harvest Moon, I'm wondering if she might like it.

From what I understand Stardew Valley, is pretty much a straight up Harvest Moon ripoff. It's a really good one though, so if she likes that type of game, she'll probably like this.

Stardew Valley rules. Playing it makes me feel warm inside and it might be partly because of my inner desire to see numbers go up, but also because the game is very charming.

She is worried that she will disappear into a black hole of playing it forever if I get it for her, but maybe I will anyway sometime as a surprise.

It's really addicting (in a good way!) and fun. I don't quite dig the vibe as much as some Harvest Moons, but on the other hand you can use mods

Stardew Valley is extremely good. But please, for the sake of anyone playing, install a mod to show where people are on the map.

This and the F1 key consults the wiki mod. Maybe try experimenting with poo poo at first so you get the virgin experience but have that sitting close by ready to install because trying to figure out what's worth keeping and saving and what to give to people or not can get old fast.

I think she played the Wii one with her laptop at the ready to consult the wiki, which is definitely something I have done with games. Sometimes you need a navigator.

The mod is cool cause you mouse over a person or item and press F1 and it brings up like all the wiki information but formatted into an in-game window so you never have to alt-tab or anything. It's such a quality of life item I can't imagine playing the game without it anymore.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Stardew Valley is a good game to give wives. Source: my wife who rarely plays games.

Beat Batman: A Telltale Game tonight. Good overall but I wish we had waited for a patch to fix some graphical issues and it couldn't pull up our choices at the end of the game. Still, that's another Platinum trophy to add to the pile (of two).

That's actually really cool and I want it for every Final Fantasy and Bethesda game I've ever played now.

The first four times you think, "boy, Chapter 13 has to be wrapping up soon," you're going to be wrong. I'm eager to read your thoughts when you finish it.

Well I've beaten FFXV now, so it's kind of crazy that there's just a moment when the budget gets turned back on, and it's almost entirely the point after that pointless reveal of Prompto being a robot or something? That was so quick and nothing it may as well not have been. Also why is Leviathan the only not-human summon? Like that's a cool idea but it sticks out all the more because of it (I'm sure the answer is because they had that design for forever). Heard people complaining about the final boss being mostly QTEs and I can kinda see it, but then there's also the two major bosses before him that are pretty bombastic and do require you to try, especially Ravus which I beat with only Gladio and Noct still alive (ran out of Phoenix Downs). More disappointed that at no point does he turn into some gigantic angel/demon.

I did laugh a bunch because I wasn't expecting that final cutscene in CG and accidentally dropped my controller trying to grab it and I hit the home button but thankfully it's just a fluff QTE and waits on you. Also I forgot I saved a few photos from when the ocean in Galdin Quay failed to load it so a bunch of glitchy pictures showed up in the ending.

Cherno Alpha and the Chinese one chumping out like that was literally the entire point of that scene. Not because of the kaiju powering up, but because the idiot fanboy linked his brain to the kaiju hivemind, giving them exact details about the Jaeger battle tactics and maneuvers. It's why they specifically point out the Chinese ones are masters of the Thundercloud Formation, they don't improvise, they use a specific tactic, or why leatherback had an EMP generator on its back, to deal with the aussie jaeger. It's also why Ron Perlman flips his poo poo at Charlie Day, because he handed the aliens all our battle tactics. It's also why gypsy danger did better against them, because the pilot didn't follow a plan, he just winged it.

The movie might not be perfect but it's surprisingly consistent.

I never heard people complaining about that sequence as a plot hole, just that it was pretty lame in a movie built up as a team of robots defending humanity to have all but one immediately explode in the first action scene. They had posters of all the robots and then you get to the actual movie and one of them throws a punch and then they all die.

Please do not judge the contents of a movie by the marketing and trailers, they are two completely separate parts of the production. There's a reason people generally hate marketing teams.
