You people will by God act like a team, or at least like people who know each other, or I'll incinerate the bunch of you here and now.

Is there much of a point to working on the relationships besides the recipes / crafting blueprints they give you? I'm in year 2 and feel like I'm running around too much every day to give the time to working out who likes which gift (everybody is getting mayo goddamn it).

I think it's the only way to get certain recipes.

So only have a relationship until you get what you want from them, then ignore them forever. Just like real life! :angel:

I thought Linus would be cool but he's so whiney. I guess it would suck to be homeless on the edge of such an expensive town, but still, come on mate.

They're the townspeople you live near and interact with almost daily, be friends with them because you're all delicate humans in a cruel world.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

They will, very rarely, send you gifts in the mail. The main reason people do it is because its fun. If you don't like doing it, you don't need to boost relations with anyone.

Yeah, I'm in a 4P multiplayer game and I'm at the point that aside from a little bit of crop picking and filling kegs/preserving jars, all I really do most days is work on socializing with people I haven't maxed out yet, which usually involves finding out what they like and getting a pile of it and giving it to them as I go. I think I've got a 3rd of the town maxed, the other 3rd about half way, and the rest I haven't dealt with yet (and might not).

The only enjoyable part of the gift game is when you give someone an iridium starred loved gift on their birthday. It's like a 3 or 4 star jump which amuses me for some reason.

I'm afraid so.
Clint's life is suffering and if he leaves the "work" that consists of standing around staring at the walls of his dead end life gradually decay around him early to go drink himself into a few hours of oblivion I'm not going to judge him.

I've been using this mod to replace Clint. Would highly recommend if you're on pc and not using SVE. Replaces everything to do with Clint except a few hardcoded lines afaik.

Creepy, lazy pervert who is also a rude rear end in a top hat. Specifically for a lot of people at least is the fact he stalks Emily and laments constantly that she won't love him.

Except that Emily likes him just fine and even cheerfully accepts the one time he actually does ask her out?

Clint's social awkwardness and self-loathing is hopeless but he deals with it better than Shane does, searing hot take

i hate clint because he doesn't put forth any effort whatsoever to get what he wants and expects happiness to fall into his lap without working for it, which on its own is like whatever man. but he complains when it doesn't, and i won't have that

i hate pierre because he's closed on wednesdays

My first playthrough I never had a good relationship with Clint because the entire first season or so I kept trying to open geodes by giving them to him, rather than the shop dialogue. Clint loving hates geodes.

Social anxiety is really hard to deal with, and makes it really difficult to have social interactions with people -- even the people you've grown up with.

I mean, that's my excuse, I don't know what Clint's problem is. Presumably he's some kind of fungus-based life form that eats rocks and hasn't grasped what "emotions" and "conversation" are yet.

Clint just seems unpleasant to be around. He's never happy or cheerful, he doesn't seem to like his job, he makes no attempt to improve his life in any way, and nothing you can do will help him either.

On top of that he's really inconvenient about his shop opening hours too, so it's easy to resent him for that, especially when he fucks off while the shop's supposed to be open.
