“Once I reopen the book on Stardew, I always have a hard time closing it again because I always want to add more things, make it better, make it cooler, make people happy,” Barone said. “It’s exciting. Every single thing I’m adding, I’m thinking about how people are going to play this and talk about it and love it. It’s gonna be part of their experience. It could make a memory that they might cherish forever. That’s a special thing. It’s hard for me to not want to do that.”

to some extent it does, however, it used to be a bit easier to scrape by and have a roof over your head, hangout with your friends, and hone one’s craft in america. There are a lot of stories where someone worked at a bakery, recorded there after. Another where two guys bought a small place to put a studio together in Portland, just a lot of shit like that. The walls have closed way, way in.

it’s good that you found advice like that. rick rubin’s book is a load of shit and in interviews he’s saying shit like ‘maybe your job is your livelihood and your art is secondary’ basically telling ppl to strive for less straight up, not even veiling it in a myth which is incredible considering he threw his entire life into helping ppl create music

lol, my (estranged) dad did the opposite. Spent X years in the Florida prog rock/metal scene, his band finally recorded and released an EP, and within a couple of years, the band had split up and he was working as a pastry chef over a thousand miles away.
Stardew Valley gonna get the Terraria treatment and get about 100 ‘final’ updates
That’s cool. Reminds me of how Tarn is still working on Dwarf Fortress over two decades later.
I get the hype, I love a good harvest moon game, but fuck if I haven’t had a hard time getting past shit like this
I havent been able to bring myself to open it again since. Not even mentioning a couple of the potential wives are legitimately children. Child bride simulator. Ew.
None of the marriage candidates are ever stated to be children
They are all convicingly in their early 20s, with the exception of maybe Harvey who seems closer to 30
That said it’d be cool to get an older romantic candidate or two.
I think it was Abigail who talks about leaving all her homework til the last minute? Whatever it was just left me feeling uncomfortable… she still lives with her parents too?
i was still way more uncomfortable with the idea that all these interactions were written by some guy, you cant win the game calling out the shit sexist tropes, you need to be gentle and not tell the guys what is that supposed to mean when they say i didnt think a girl would want to throw a ball with me so i didnt invite you
feminism ruined gaming

These both sound college student things to me
Abigail is canonically in college doing a distance learning program while living with her parents. You should be more concerned about the fact that if you marry her and get her to 14 hearts, she

murders a person of color and buries the body alongside the mountain path
Alex has a character arc where he becomes less of a sexist pig, too. Sam is a total freaking manchild through and through, though.
Wait which wife candidates are children?
He doesn’t need it have to…
