Joja Mart could have been defeated by the residents of pelican town gathering for any period of time at once with the hours loss of customers being so catastrophic the manager is forced to investigate then engage in a fire sale and Pierre still couldn’t do it so no I don’t think he would be

Once per turn, you can Tribute 1 WATER monster you control (except this card) to Special Summon 1 WATER monster from your hand. The monster Special Summoned by this effect is destroyed if "Raging Eria" is removed from your side of the field.
Pierre would never be able to tolerate being in Morris' position. At best he could've gotten an MBA and been Morris' semi-absent lovely "friendly" boss.

I really need to start playing this game sober - it's not that I necessarily make mistakes, but rather more than I play all night and then come back the next night and have zero recollection of what I've done and waste half an in-game day figuring it out.

My favorite thing to do is scratch out a half dozen todo notes on my way out of a session. It takes way too long to abstract out my goals and the tab just stays open for months and I never get back to it, but it's nice to have there.

Most disabled people have horror stories about well-meaning people trying to help them, the problems the well-meaning people caused, and how invalidated the disabled people felt. Eric the Mauve is right about this: if you see a disabled person struggling, always ask them if they need help before jumping in. Never touch them, their equipment, or their service animals without permission unless it's an emergency.

One touch I would have liked to see about the Penny / George interaction, is why the mailbox is so inaccessible to George in the first place. Perhaps a community upgrade you get from Robin that not only fixes the mailbox issue, but makes the town easier to navigate for those using mobility assisting devices. It seems like the guy is stuck relying on Evelyn to get him around anywhere outside.

... Or the option to implant George's body into a 50 foot, twin diesel-powered exosuit - complete with giant chainsaw and gattling cannon upgrades, for him to care for your chicken coop.

Maybe make it so you can access the Flower Festival through some other means than a bunch of wooden planks laid over the gap separating the festival grounds from the forest. Someone's gonna slip and fall one day!

I restarted the console for an update and it somehow teleported Bitey from his pen into the blobfish pond, where he is now trapped. Attempts to knock him out with a scythe did not succeed, and if I get close he just harmlessly jumps up and down on the edge.

I choose to believe Bitey has entered a romance with my singular blobfish in there and support their interspecies roundness union.

If you're talking about the sewer entrance south of Marnie's and Leah's houses there is a quest that will clean it up. Not sure if it also cleans up south of the cat house.

Does having crops there stop it from improving quality? Fruit trees are supposed to improve star quality by 1 step every year. I always make fruit trees into jam so I've never paid much attention to the mechanic.

Quality still improves. Once the tree is producing fruit, it doesn't matter what's touching it.

I've been doing a playthrough with it. It's not terrible.

I'm usually super wary of fan-made content but I haven't run into anything that's made me roll my eyes too hard yet. I like most of the added characters (with the exception of one who just feels like she's specifically written to be someone's self-insert waifu) and a lot of the new maps are pretty neat. A lot of new/expanded content is pretty rooted in the 'lore' that SDV already has, so it doesn't feel too out of place. There's a lot of mid to late-game content that expands heavily on the Wizard and the Adventurer's guild, both of which are expanded quite a bit and made into more important characters overall. Joja playthroughs also have a bunch of new content late game as well.

It also makes a few fan theories canon, like Abigail being the Wizard's daughter which I find fairly innocuous but I understand if other people think it's cringy as gently caress.

It's worth a try if you've played vanilla Stardew to death and want something new.

That thing you spoilered is canon, CA practically drew a map with the ingame text and the "nuh-uh it's actually Emily!!" crowd are just hardwired contrarians.

My one go at SDV I abandoned early because the whole thing felt very Not Stardew to me, so obviously YMMV.

Coffee if you find a bean in the mine or traveling cart, or pepper poppers if you befriend Shane and get the ingredients.

Putting down paths can help around the farm a bit too. Crab Cakes are theoretically available early, but then involves buying cooking oil, probably flour, maybe eggs?

I think I’ll focus on befriending Shane for the pepper popper recipe. I’m on a new farm (forest) and I think I’m going to prioritize animal farming this time so I ought to have a reliable cheese source soonish.

I also think I’m going to make this a Joja game. I have to imagine doing so will give me more freedom to do as I please with my farm since I won’t be chasing down items for the community center?

I did a jojamart run to get the achievement and honestly found it less enjoyable because yeah you've got the freedom to do what you want but it's nothing but a money grind so you prioritise just money, at one point I was running up and down the gold levels of the mine feeding furnaces around the mountain lake because it was easy money but it was so dull.
E: fun fact I made more money quicker from iron bars than gold.

Chasing down items for the community centre made me experience all the game has to offer.

re: Joja It's worth trying for the difference, but probably risky if you brain demands optimization.

OTOH, I definitely love the remix bundle. At least in theory, IIRC some of the alternate fish bundles and such can be pretty cruel.

Weirdly I wonder if Joja is better for lazy chill play, because you don't have the moments of 'Welp, I forgot to do that so no progress can be made for a year.'

If you do do community bundle, I can definitely suggest the Stardew Predictor (if you can use it.) as taking some of the edge off.

And coffee is definitely the first speed food. All the rest require the kitchen upgrade. And you can just buy it from Gus if you don't have kegs yet.

I just finished a 100% perfection run on SVE. Overall, I like the mechanical stuff it adds, a lot. Most of the rest of it annoyed the crap out of me.

To get the most out of it I would suggest not trying for 100% perfection with SVE, that way you can ignore their stupid OCs and the extra unnecessary crap it adds and just enjoy the mechanical benefits.

This game is cute and I own it, but it's hard and caters to my minmax approach to the game, not the video games chillness other people might be craving out of it. It's a complicated co-op efficiency challenge with quite a bit of randomness.
