Hero forge poses are tricky but I did my best.

I can finally share this now it's been gifted; blanket (and pattern) made by me.

Edited to add: thank you all for the lovely comments 💜

To answer a few questions; I'm not taking on commissions (because around work and life in general, this project took approx. 15 months) but I might put together a pattern at some point.

The blanket is 99% solid (4-round) granny squares, crocheted in DK yarn with a 4mm hook. At 18 x 19 squares, it covers a (UK) Double bed with overhang - see photo 2.

The squares were out together using the join-as-you-go method. Where a join is between two different colours, I used the yarn of the colour I was joining on to for the final loop of my stitches e.g.

Joining yellow to black would be as follows:

(UK treble st) work 3 rounds using yellow (Y).

On round 4, when you are working adjoining stitches (i.e. to join to black (B) square), work treble in Y as usual until you have final two loops remaining on hook.

Without breaking Y yarn, pick up / add in B yarn, YO and pull through final two loops to complete treble stitch.

Slip stitch into neighbouring stitch of B square (through both loops) to begin join, then without breaking B yarn, pick Y yarn back up to work your next stitch.

Jumimo was a typo; it's been a long day!

My favourite sidequest in Stardew Valley is collecting golden animal crackers. I haven't been using my shed to make money at all (I am too lazy to do so) so I repurposed them for the greater good.

I really like golden animal crackers.

So I went to buy some stones from Clint and decided to speak directly to him, tools don't require repairs. Was there supposed to be a durability feature for the tools but got changed?

I absolutely love this photo. Makes you start to think what was stardew like 20 to 50 years ago. Credit to ennywey

I (F21) gave birth last night and my husband (M?) Elliot left (for a week long (!) book tour) before I woke up the next morning, leaving me alone with our 6 hour old infant. Am I in the wrong for wanting a divorce?

What’s that Jodi? You think the yummy, nutritious foraged items I plucked with my very two tiny pixelated hands aren’t good enough for you? You think these morsels that Yoba blessed us with are BENEATH you? You are under the impression that you are a Princess deserving of diamonds instead of a housewife who is borderline obsessive to the point your son can’t drop an EGG without having a panic attack? Well, happy birthday…

HERE’S A CAKE I GOT FROM A GARBAGE CAN

Edit to add: I don’t really hate Jodi, this is intended as lighthearted fun and role play anger. She and I got off to a rocky start on my first save. She was the very first person I gave a gift to and it was a daffodil. She was so mean about it 😂 So, in my head, my farmer remembers that rejection and unnecessary rudeness through all her lives (saves)

Every obelisk in the game has some use case, except the Mountain obelisk. The Desert Obelisk lets you visit the Desert at any time and with no fee to worry about. The Beach Obelisk is great for getting to the ocean early in the morning to go to Ginger Island or to fish for an octopus. The Island Obelisk basically turns Ginger Island into an extension of your farm.

But the Mountain Obelisk? Feel free to disagree but imo it is completely useless. If I want to go to the mines fast, it's only a 20 in-game-minute walk to the minecart system.

What about Cindersap Forest? Travel to that area is extremely limited. The only shortcut there is through the Sewers, and even then you're basically walking the same distance, just on a different map. There are several cool things to do in Cindersap (Marnie's Ranch, Wizard Tower, Leah, Secret Woods, waterfalls to fish in, even the Mastery Cave) and only three ways to get there, all of which are a little clunky.

So, why not repurpose the fourth obelisk, the one nobody (afaik) cares about, and create a fast travel option to the most travel-neglected part of the map? There's plenty of room in Cindersap for a fast travel spawn, and it would be great QoL for everyone. And since you could only fast travel to one place in the forest, I don't think it would be that game-breaking.

Edit: Apparently I am wrong and lots of people do in fact like the mountain obelisk. Forest obelisk would still be super cool though.

Thank you, golden mystery box ❤️
ETA: man I lucked out, there’s a 0,5% chance to get one from golden mystery boxes and I didn’t even have max luck or luck boosters on this day

Idk if this is allowed but ..

It's for Sunday October 25 @ 7:30pm.

It was supposed to be a birthday trip for me and my mom, but she had to cancel because of work.. then I was going to take a significant other but he's now an ex.. then I was going to take my little sister and now she also can't go because of work 🫠

You don't have to pay for the ticket, I'd just like some decent company for the trip and for it to not go to waste. Ideally you'll know a good spot for dinner before the show and not be a terrible human.

tw: mentions of car accident

I wanted to share what SV has meant to me throughout the years.

I started playing SV when it first came out. I was in university then, dealing with an incredibly difficult home life and all the ups and downs of figuring yourself out as a young adult. Stardew Valley really helped give me a sense of comfort that i lacked. It got me through to graduation in 2018, my first corporate job, when that job turned into a nightmare, COVID, and so much more. I've taken breaks here and there for a while, but always came back.

A couple weeks ago, i was hit by a car, and that really shook my whole life around. I am mostly ok physically speaking, thank goodness, but mentally all over the place. You obviously never think something like this would happen to you, but I'm a really anxious person generally, and i always pay attention to my surroundings, check both sides when crossing, etc. One way to cope with my anxiety is to be as prepared as possible and do as many things right as I can (rational part of my brain says i cannot control all variables in life, but the anxiety begs to differ). So when something like that happened despite all my precautions, it feels like it took away that coping mechanism, and so that's why everything feels like it's spiralling in my brain.

Since the accident I've been spending a lot more time at home, and a couple days ago I redownloaded SV. I started a brand new farm, used a layout i've never tried before (meadow lands!) and i'm currently working on the community centre for the millionth time. And it just made me feel like, everything can be rebuilt. I've had glorious magnificent farms in the past, and my current one looks all sad! but i can make it into a glorious magnificent car again, just like how i can rebuilt myself after everything that happened!

Cheers to the next 10 years! ♡

Had four for like 2 years then all of a sudden this, and 2 more the next day.

First time on this farm and first time ever making this far in all my years of playing lol.. fully unlocked Ginger Island and got Obelisks! First time ever having an Ostrich or being able to do the Me Qi challenges as well. Starting out with the fish smoker really helped. Currently at 12,383,271g total earnings. Oh and Krobus is my roommate!

Using Gunther’s Library app to track everything has been nice! I love seeing all the different ways people play this game and design their farms so I wanted to share mine.

First Summer Squash of the season and I decided to bread and bake them!
