“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.”

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.

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

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

Alex has a character arc where he becomes less of a sexist pig, too. Sam is a total freaking manchild through and through, though.
