Stardew Valley

It is a very charming game. It makes you happy. There's tons of stuff to do, you get up every day and just do whatever you want. Fishing or fighting or chatting up townsfolk or farming or chopping trees.

Charming music, charming art, charming writing. It even has a few mods! I use GetDressed, a mod that lets you change your appearance, which I use daily.

So, can someone tell me the allure of this game? I see so many people, especially grown men, playing this. I'd have thought at first glance it was something for 12 year old girls. I would genuinely like to know.

Its a fun enough game but personally I got super bored after about a week of playing it like 6 hours a day. There is a certain amount of "one more day" factor similar to Civ which can really make the hours float away. I never got "super" into it because I honestly find the process of building virtual relationships and OCD farming very tedious and boring. So once I established my farm and cleared the dungeons I was basically done with it because I don't really care about my farmer getting married and having kids.

Hmm I don't know of anything like that, but I haven't seen everything.

I'm so ready for more of this. I jumped in today to hug all the things but didn't play so I will be super ready for multiplayer.

With my luck it will hit about the same time as Coirnav

When it first came out it had some odd limitations, like shared money pool, but it was a lot of fun. I'm not sure if some of the annoyances have been fixed or modded away, haven't played in a long time.

What a good day!
