The not daily not-a-daily Stardew Valley post

[thistlechaser]

Quickie post, mostly because I got the screenshot I think teaandfailure wanted.



The cold never bothered me anyway~


I finally got a hat I liked for Haken. It's just awful! Also, this shows off the amazing ring I got (from a fish!). It does everything: Lights up the area (more than the weak light ring does), has a magnet to draw in drops, and has +10% attack! Now I just need a second one. :P



Aww, Sebastian, I know that feeling...


I played Sebastian's birthday as my final day tonight. Man giving him a gift shot my heart level through the roof! His most liked item + birthday = wow!

I'm really not enjoying winter, which is odd as I hadn't liked planting crops, so I don't know.

As soon as I get my animals to max stars, I'm getting rid of them all except the ducks (until I get some duck feathers, then they're gone too). I really should upgrade for rabbits so I can get rabbit feet, but I got my stable instead. Tomorrow, I suppose.



I'm definitely slowing down on my gameplay now, which is good, as I was falling behind in all sorts of other stuff.

HAKEN YOUR HAT, I LOVE IT.

Also yes, that is the screenshot I wanted! YAY, well done you!

I have decided to take the animals really slowly after reading your experience, so I got a single chicken and named her after the chicken my dad had when we lived in Arkansas, and that is all I have for now. I will maybe do them one at a time for the animal bundles and get rid of each of them as I finish? We'll see.

I felt the same way about winter! I loved it at first, because it was nice to have some time to run around in the mines BUT THEN I ENDED UP NOT HAVING TIME TO RUN AROUND IN THE MINES because there were other things I needed to do that day, but I did a lot of upgrading tools and such. I think probably it worked in my favor going really slowly because I had more to do in winter maybe?

I'm starting to slow down a little too, which is good because OH GOD I HAVE STAYED UP WAY TOO LATE ONE TOO MANY TIMES all ONE MORE DAY JUST ONE MORE DAY.

Yeah, going slower with the animals might work better. I got max chickens (four) and max cows (four) within a day of each other. Chickens are okay, you just have to put food down and pat them once a day, but cows (and goats)? Milking them is the most annoying thing ever. Especially goats, which only make milk every other day, so, since I NEVER REMEMBER IF I MILKED THEM THE DAY BEFORE OR NOT, I always have to go through the gross kneeling and milking animation. PLUS IT'S ALL TOO EASY TO 'MISS' THE ANIMAL AND YOU HAVE TO MILK THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN.

Yeah, I don't get how I seem to have LESS time in winter than I did in summer. I wonder if the days are shorter/time runs a little faster? I planted some winter crops and all of a sudden it was dark out and I still had max energy AND I CANNOT END THE DAY WITH MAX ENERGY BECAUSE THAT IS A WASTE.
