I spent most of year 1 cozying up to Jodi and giving her presents, and then her husband shows up and tells me he's glad I'm part of the community and friends with his kids. Also he's been leaving bombs in my mailbox. What a chill dude.

I haven't gotten around to buying any furniture yet, and she spends every evening just standing in the corner staring at our one potted plant, and when I talk to her she just mumbles "Oh, don't worry, I'm not bored, I'm just appreciating everything we have..." while staring unblinkingly into the middle distance. She keeps "helping out with the farm" by watering my crops that are already watered via sprinklers and feeding my animals that all have automated feeding systems in their coops and barns, and then saying "Wow, farming is almost as interesting and complicated as working in a lab, isn't it?" while gazing wistfully towards the mountains to the northeast. And then yesterday morning she goes "Hey, I found this in my scrap pile; maybe you could use it for something!" and proceeds to hand me a platter of fried mushrooms. this sounds like a creepypasta i married abigail and she also seemed to be trying her damndest to still enjoy her life

Alex loves working out, doing farmer's walks, watching football, and visiting his grandparents. I love my husband and I'm glad he's flourishing on our little patch of heaven.

i do wish you could have a little more input into your spouse's life, i feel a twinge of guilt when i come home and abigail is just standing in the exact same spot she was when i left the fact that she'll randomly give me crab cakes and bombs, though...that is good

Elliot won my heart, then as soon as we got married he hosed off out of town. …the occasional letter he sends me is written beautifully, though.

It's always the quiet ones that end up being serial murderers, though, so I'd almost be more worried about Penny. Still married her, though. Haven't regretted it.

I also married Maru and yeah, she seems pretty checked out in this marriage. And she wanted a baby so bad and I said sure, hoping that she'd fially feel like she has some purpose here at the farm, but now that the new baby smell has worn off, she barely even acknowledges little Snubba. In a previous life I brought Krobus up out of the sewer. Now there was an S tier housemate.

Don't you be accusing Best Gal of serial murders, if anyone's doing that stuff it's Leah "viscera is just such a visually stunning medium to work in, you see" Penny just keeps on living her life, teaching the kids and helping out around town, it's just that once she gets married she has a solid foundation of support and love that she tries to reciprocate as opposed to the shaky foundation of mutual codependence and mild loathing she had living with Pam

I don't remember if I've said this before or not, but I don't get the sense that Penny needs someone to "save" her from Pam; more like you marry her and she thrives away from her mother's messy, alcoholic life.

I married Alex once (it was very cute, he was nervous about being with another dude, but he got there) and then I married Penny next time. This time I am going for Elliot. I've gone kinda soft on him. I do wish there were a couple of older people to marry though, if you want your farmer to be middle aged. Harvey is a doctor but he still comes off maybe 30ish to me. Let me marry Marnie or someone.

All the spouses get jealous if you give gifts to bachelor/ettes when it's not their birthday, that's not just Penny. I don't think they tell you every single time though, so there's probably just a chance of that happening.

I've finally hit the point where my daily income is just stupid. My animals give me a baseline 10k off milk, mayo and truffles, I've JUST gotten the Greenhouse, and finished the house with the Cellar full of casks waiting for my wine to brew. Just got to up my Oak treefarm's size, because that's the bottleneck on more kegs. Now I just need a way to not suck at fishing so I can stand a chance of completing the Community Center, because that's all that's left to it.  BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:No just 12 Yeah, that's when it happened for me. F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:It's always the quiet ones that end up being serial murderers, though, so I'd almost be more worried about Penny. Nah, Penny's no serial killer. When she snaps, she's gonna kill Pam in a single moment of instinctive violence and everyone's going to have to stand around looking shocked and appalled while quietly being surprised it didn't happen sooner.

Use trapper bobbers it reduces the speed with which the escape bar lowers when it’s outside the catch zone. You can also level fishing by planting a million crab pots somewhere. Make good that raises fishing beyond level 10 too, it really helps. Edit:

The fishing skill improving food is awesome (especially since Willy sells Trout Soup so it's really convenient to grab a simple +1). This playthrough I learned the virtue of foraging-increasing food though, I got some Autumn's Bounty right before blackberry season and it pushed me up one in the number of berries I got from each bush. Incredibly useful. I should probably use farming increasing food for big harvests but I always forget. Doesn't look like mining improvement is super useful outside of energy conservation.

Cooking always seems like a pain in Stardew. Not many dishes that use stuff from one season, lot of ingredients you can only (or almost only) buy. Don't even get the recipes until you are kind of bored with the game already.

Poque posted:I should probably use farming increasing food for big harvests but I always forget. Doesn't look like mining improvement is super useful outside of energy conservation. Farming skill is okay if you're selling your produce, but if you're jarring/kegging it, it's pointless since anything that goes into a jar or keg comes out as base quality. Maybe it might give you a double harvest slightly more often? I dunno. I have enough trouble burning through a season's worth of cranberries as it is. At least the Farmer's Lunch is cheap -- 1 egg, 1 milk, 1 parsnip. Mining skill is pretty pointless. At "high levels" of play, you just run around and bomb everything you want to pick up rather than waste time with a pickaxe. For mining I usually run spicy eel and espresso buffs.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Well I know what I'm doing then! Get the training rod from Willy. It fixes your skill to 5 in exchange for only catching crappy (pun intended) fish. Good for skilling up. And you can put any fish and some of the crab pot boys in ponds on your farm, but you don't get any experience from fishing them out. Good for raising a stock of fish for food though.

Get the training rod for the first 5 or so levels, it takes a lot of the frustration out of early Fishing. You'll only be able to hook easy, unstarred fish, but at least you don't have to deal with the frustration of hooking a fish that's hard to catch.
