I'm enjoying this playthrough, and it's inspired me to try Stardew Valley for myself. It's exactly the kind of chilled out game I need. In an earlier episode you mentioned another chill game you like but I couldn't make out the name. What was it called?

And do you (or anyone here) know of other chilled out games for a stressed out person?

I named my dog Hellbeast. He's a good boy.

Pam is also easy because she loves parsnips.

I got super lucky in my game because the day the mines opened was rainy with maximum luck. I did 15 levels that day. Since then I've found a level 2 club and later a level 3 one. I was at mine level 50 by Egg Festival day. I imagine that would have been a lot harder with the default swords.

And here's a too-long horse name: Dobbin the Horse-Elf

That's pretty quick! I've been neglecting the mine a bit because I'm trying to do everything at once so that I can complete the community center as early as possible. I've also been a little crippled for time since I've started befriending every villager simultaneously. Once you max someone out you don't have to keep giving them gifts so the first time through I was more focused and did a few people at a time and I had a lot more free time in each day. I'll probably do a lot of catching up in the winter when I don't have to worry too much about babysitting the crops.

Well watching your LP I decided I wanted sprinklers and better tools ASAP, so I prioritised mining. I quite like the exploration aspect of mining too. I've also been sticking to high-value crops to minimise the time I spend watering. I figure it'll be much easier to work on bundles next spring. But you're doing an LP and want to showcase everything so you're bound to take a different approach. I've been giving people a gift on their birthdays but other than that they can screw off until I have more free time :D

I think the only bundles you really should shoot for asap are the crops ones, because they've got a pretty good reward

The bundle that requires just one of each crop, sure, but the 5x golden one? With low farming skill I'd have to water so many parsnips I don't even want to think about it. I'd rather make some money and buy useful stuff :)

If it were up to me, I'd keep the shorts just to troll the mayor every year.

Wear them to a festival over your trousers.

Well, I'm caught up on the videos. Is it pedantic of me to point out you're mispronouncing pedantry? Pedant sounds like pendant and you just stick a 'tree' on the end of it. I enjoyed the shorts troll.

Animal name suggestions:

Sheep:
Ewe Bastard
Rambo
Woolly Thinking

Pigs:
Porkins
Cameron’s Pal
Stinkyface

Goats:
Scapegoat
Judas
Nannygoat State

Rabbits:
Sex Pest
poo poo Eater

Horse:
Hoof it mofo

Make basic fertiliser x10 and grow parsnip x10. Once grown, replant.

You'll get enough by the end of spring.

Yeah, I know it's possible. I'm just choosing to prioritise money at the moment and to grow parsnips later when my farming skill is higher and money is less of a concern.

You got the pronunciation down now Pursus. I'm guessing you started with a correct pronunciation of pedantic and extrapolated from there. English is loving weird.

Holy poo poo I love the backpack upgrades. Inventory juggling was tedious as hell. I kept a chest on level 0 but I still had to throw some things away. I reached level 110 by the end of Spring, and all with the starter pick. I really wish I'd upgraded it :D

Pet theory: Elliot is Fabio, only he writes the romance novels as well as appearing on the covers.

My suggestions are leading the sheep, goat and horse polls. This makes me happy :)

The next decision we make is going to be the big "who do we romance" one. I'm not going to put up a poll until we see most of the cutscenes, but by all means go ahead and start discussing who you'd like to get with!

Let's be gay! Alex spends a lot of time lifting weights with his shirt off ;)
