This boy has been my best bud for 11 years. I can't imagine a day without him. We got him from a rescue and were told that he used to live in a barn. Although with how afraid of new people and outside noises he is it's hard to believe.
I've worked from home for years now and he posts up on my desk like this most of the day. I love him with all my heart 馃槶
PS: Blanket is a tortilla pattern, not super dirty or anything
I posted about the farm I'm using to get through depression and I wanted to do an update post too. It's year 2 fall and I've had a lot of weird luck with this play through.
I've had at 4 fairies visit, completed the community center, unlocked all the mastery levels, got ginger island up with a huge amount of pineapples growing, and fully upgraded the galaxy sword. I know it's not a rush for this stuff, but I've put in 1100 hours into the game and have a hard time taking it slow when I know what I 'should' be focusing on to progress.
As far as mental health goes: Prior to playing this I have had a hard time getting myself to cry although I've been needing a good sob for a while now. I finally had a breakdown and have cried several times, which felt like a necessary release of all the pent up feelings I've had.
I'm not sure how much longer I'll play before I decide I'm finished with the playthrough. I've already 100%'d two other farms so I don't think I'll attempt that again.
Bonus: Krobus is my roomie
I've played stardew since 2018 and recently I've created a new farm about every year (usually in the fall). I often get something different out of each playthrough, but this time I'm explicitly trying to get myself out of a depressive funk I'm stuck in.
I chose the fishing farm because it's one I've only done once before and it can be fun to have islands for different parts of the farm. Does anyone else use SDV as a mental health resource? I often joke that it's like cheap therapy for me.
---Update--- I've been having a great time with this playthrough. I got an early ancient seed and thought this coincidence that I matched this junimo was adorable
