    Left screenshot is player 1; Right is player 2. The money values are different because the players have different amounts of money.

    But they shouldn't have different amounts of shadow.

    Or, hear me out now, should they?

    Are they truly there, or are they just shades passing through each other's world?

    Everyone has always told you that you are the only farmer in Stardew Valley, who is this other figure to claim that they are he?

    He claims that he has loved all of the people of the village, and that they all love him, but when asked about her other friends, Emily mentions only Sandy.

    He casts no shadow as he walks through your farm, even when the sun casts yours brilliantly before you. Such could only be the case if he had no body, if he was some form of spectral being, descended to the underworld.

    Or perhaps this is your underworld, and you remember him not due to your draught from the sweet Lethe that provides you with so many fish. Nobody else seems to remember him either - did they all come here with you?

    It's actually the same multiplayer as dark souls. You're just watering your crops and then all of a sudden the specter of another player materializes and starts scything all of your parsnips because fuck you that's why! HA HA HA HA HA HA!

    Then you stab them with your sword and they disappear in a burst of flame, leaving behind only an echoing laugh and the shredded remains of your hard work.

    Having grown up on a farm, I wish there was an option to turn on semi-rare hailstorms that would destroy your whole crop. I've got three hundred melons that are about two days out from harvest, and it's giving me the kind of low-key constant tension you get when you've got your annual budget in alfalfa swathed and waiting to bale and the horizon's turning an unhealthy shade of purple.

    From a gameplay perspective, it would also add more of a risk/reward mechanic for crops with longer growing seasons.

    I've had my crops struck by lightning before I'm pretty sure (and all of my fruit trees got lightning murdered at one point)

    The fishing is wonderful. Fishing haters can get off my lawn!

    There are kinda sorta magics you can get throughout the game that have various benefits for your farm. Some of them depend on chance, though, and the others you can't get until you've more or less already "completed" the game.

    I love the fishing except for the Legendary fish. Those things are straight up impossible unless you just get really lucky.

  • Options

    The main trick is that you need a trap bobber. The fishing bar decreases 2/3 slower when you're not on the fish, so there's more time to catch up to it. Helps with other hard-to-catch fast movers too - I think I had more trouble catching an octopus than a couple of the legendaries.

    Also you're probably not going to find the legendaries unless your fishing is around level 10 (either by flat skill or eating something that gives +fishing). Supposedly luck plays a role in how often the fish will show up when they do so either fish on a lucky day (purple glowing star from the fortune teller on TV) or eat something that gives +luck, but the latter would cancel out any +fishing.

    I can confirm that prior to 1.1 you didn't need level 10 to hook a legendary. No chance of getting it, but you could still hook it.

    I never go for the legendaries because I don't like pissing around with fishing at a certain spot, at a certain time day, in a certain season, under certain conditions, etc. The only one I ever catch is the sewer one, since it shows up pretty reliably and is also pretty easy to catch.

    catching them before max rank is doable, if you're stubborn enough

    Funny, Elliot never dropped hearts or got mad at me for showering other people in gifts.

    Of course, he's also always wandering off to secluded romantic areas in Leahs company. But since I only married him for the cheevos and the nice library add-on, who cares if he's cheating, as long as he doesn't complain.

    Before following any advice, opinions, or thoughts I may have expressed in the above post, be warned: I found Keven Costners "Waterworld" to be a very entertaining film.

    I checked CA's changelog and it's true that he only removed the jealousy dialogue for giving gifts on birthdays. Your spouse may still express jealousy for giving gifts on normal days.

    I still am not sure it actually affects heart level, though, or if it does, I'm not sure it effects heart level very significantly. If you regularly talk to / hug your spouse, it probably doesn't matter in the slightest.

    Based on community discussions, it also seems like the jealousy dialogues only happen when you give items to eligible singles, but not when you give items to ineligible town folk.

    Yeah, I was reinforcing that bit, =P

    I don't know about the spouse losing hearts thing though. I know the normal townsfolk only lose hearts if you literally do not talk to them at all, so if it's the same rule, you'd have to like, completely ignore your spouse for weeks to lose a single heart

    If you have not maxed out an NPCs hearts, their heart level does degrade over time, but it is very, very slow.

    If you have an NPCs hearts maxed out, then their heart level does not degrade and will stay maxed out forever (including spouse). I think that just means it doesn't NATURALLY degrade, though. It's possible their heart level can still degrade if you do something that makes them angry, such as giving them a hated item.
