Awesome. I guess the question is - Im really looking to just relax and play - is it possible to relax and play if I play blind or will it be impossible/frustrating?

I will say that with Minecraft - its kinda impossible to play if you dont know crafting recipes.

I've gone in mostly blind and its been a ton of fun.

I would say you could definitely do that.

You'll probably get to the point where you want to look up different items to see what their purpose is but you can just kind of wander around and figure things out at your own pace too. The game isn't terribly punishing.

 

[Razmos]

The script in this game is not very diverse. Perhaps the game's biggest shortcoming IMO.

It always bugs me when Alex talks about girls when you talk to him. If he's an option for both male and female characters then why does he talk like a typical straight guy? Eurgh.

It's like.. I'm trying to romance you. Dick.

he's trying to overcompensate. the pictures of muscular dudes in his locker is a sure giveaway.

Caught a legendary fish what do I do with it?

 

[Brakke]

Put it in your chest and win the grange competition in Fall?

 

[Ventara]

Dammit, ran out of hay and I don't want to buy from Marnie. What are the consequences of letting your animals starve a few days?

Also

"Oh, Ventara... This is embarrassing. I threw one of your Blueberrys you sold us into my compost bin. Now the whole thing smells horrendous. Where did you find that thing again?"

WTF, Caroline? My blueberries are all naturally grown. You trying to start shit with me?

Edit: I forgot I had saved a few pieces of hay as an emergency stash. I am so smart.

Wow. I managed to get full hearts,

all 10 of them w/ "girlfriend" status

on two separate bachelorettes; Abby and Maru. As my relationships with them grew I kept ping-ponging between;

Spoiler

witnessing cutscenes where they divulge their feelings, and embrace me after an emotional moment,

etc.

Because there's no polygamy, I have to choose one. Too bad. I imagine I'm going to break a heart. Maybe there's time to go after Leah

EDIT: I switched over to playing on my TV, after playing HH for hours and hours. I am using my Pro Controller, and the rumble is awesome. Especially when

Spoiler

galloping on the horse. I can feel each hoof as it hits the dirt

. Why doesn't the rumble work in Handheld I wonder?

The penalty for dying in the mine is brutal. Pro tip: don't die in the mine.

I had to redo that day because of it. Like 5k gold and 5 items from your bag will be taken if I'm correct.

But your farm needs you. Think of the citizens of Stardew Valley. Who will fetch them random crops and/or minerals? Who will find the mayor's pants?

Yup, I just restarted the day. I lost like 10k, 8 items, and I "forgot" something like ten levels of the mine. Gah!

Same, the first time it happened to me.

Falling unconscious above ground is great, though if you're low on gold. Get an additional 2 hours and be brought home. Enjoy those 4G you damn thief, lol.

I came dangerously close because of those ghosts. Had to abandon the mine.

On a semi-related note, I only have the

to go before I finally complete the bundles for the mine carts.

I won the stardew festival by just putting an assortment of gold quality fruit, vegetarble, forage, fish, and a few ore.

 

[Zzoram]

I've only passed out above ground, someone takes money from you but nothing else. I've heard passing out in the mine, your inventory gets raided on top of money being stolen.

You also have to re-do a bunch of floors too. It's pretty punishing.

 

[oatmeal]

This game reminds me of a cookie clicker...where I just want to get it to the point where things are automated enough that I don't have to babysit everything and then I will inevitably tire of it. I'm waiting to tire of it. Because I'm not yet.

Yeah he does have different responses if you're male so keep trying.

I just got a prompt for an update. Is that an update for the game or system?

 

[Like the hat?]

I am torn between continuing my first farm (summer year two) or starting a new one now that I know what I'm doing.

 

[EvilChameleon]

Why can't I place any of the paintings I get for donations to the museum on my walls?

 

[Dremorak]

System. They added video recording (for a few games) and some other neat stuff

Why can't I place any of the paintings I get for donations to the museum on my walls?

Hit the (Y) button

 

[PrintedCrayon]

Whoops, I messed up and somehow randomly quoted and posted. My bad everyone.

 

[Makonero]

I’m having this glitch too. I get a weird noise when I press Y but no paintings will go on the wall.

That's for dying in combat. Passing out because of energy or because you are awake until past 2 a.m. only makes you loose money.

 

[eKongDiddy]

Do you guys have upgraded houses? I wasn’t able to place anything until I upgraded.

75 hours on Stardew and 95 on BotW.
SDV isn't that far off becoming my most played game on the Switch

Use the right stick cursor to place furniture. Much easier.

 

[BassForever]

Man winter is such a weird season after spring - fall. It also makes me feel silly for waiting so long on animals since they're a lot easier to care for then crops. What is the best way to get more wood, rocks, and grass for hay next spring? I unlocked the quarry and rocks I can easily get going after the large boulders in the mines. Wood I keep planting trees around town but it seems random if they'll grow.

 

[oatmeal]

Oh my Gooooood

I died in the mines again. Level 99.

Fucking livid.

Just built a fuckload or stairs to blast through them.

I died once and quickly restarted. Are you using powerful tools and armor? I didn’t realize you could buy weapons, rings, and boots until halfway through the first Winter. The mines became super easy after that. Skull Cavern, though? Can barely touch it.

, is it possible to just naturally figure out where to use it? I'm assuming its for that skull cavern you mentioned, but wanted to try and figure it out myself (unless its really hard to figure out and then I'll just google it)

Just pumped 8 hours into the game. Really addicting. Just made it to Summer and made around 40k with potatoes.

Yea it’s easy to figure out how to use. I just explored until I found where it went.

Spoiler

The Skull Caverns are located in the desert.

I have a good sword now. I have the light ring on but no armor yet.
Definitely need it.

 

[Ventara]

Alright, just got the greenhouse! Other than the vault, which is next on my list of stuff to buy, I just need rabbit's foot and that fiddle-whatever fern thing. The former will come in time. No idea where to get the fern. I'm guessing I'll find out once I get the bus running.

Oh, and Botanist skill is great! Iridium quality forages is pretty sweet. Just need combat skill at 10 now.

I have two fully upgraded barns and two fully upgraded coops. Is it better to just sell your animals or ignore them and keep them? I think I overdid it and it's taking too much of my time tending to them and getting their items.

Sell everything that isn't a pig and buy pigs. Collect their truffles in the morning and make truffle oil and make an easy 1000g a pop.
