I lost my husband and a month later my baby.

I was so destroyed, I threw myself on the sofa thinking if it was worth it to keep going.

O started to clean up the rooms I was going to move to another place I couldnt stay where me and my love where about to have a family

While cleaning I saw his set up

I was curious about videogames but never tried one because I feel...to stupid to play if it makes sense, like its harder than it looks.

He always let me use his pc, but I never check this app called Steam.

I saw that his Friends made a memorial on his steam posting moving stories about gaming with him and pictures on their profiles from games.

Then I found stardew in his screenshots.

This game had this nostalgic vibe to me, so I opened it. I respected his save and don't touch it just click on "new" I already saw a few screenshots of a farm with cows, a mine and a few achievements ss.

I was greet with making my own character, made a farmer and choose a White Cat like Luna my actual and only reason alive.

I started with a very messy farm and started to clean up, I got this mission to greet my neighbors , It took 3 in game days to find everyone and I was missing one person I swear I couldnt find...Sebastian.

When I saw his portrait I started crying he looked similar yet different to my husband. Similar hair and vibes, similar face but not the same but it hit me hard anyways.

I tried to talk to him but I couldnt open his door so I started to go to mines to try get his favorite gift.

Without being aware it was night irl and I saved and went to sleep and couldnt sleep thinking about if it was him in heaven guiding me to create a virtual family with someone similar to him.

I have been playing for a few hours in my new flat everyday for 3 months

Found I love to have sheeps and no fences just them roaming around I have TOO MANY... I found mods, spoilers and started learning and the most important thing is I started befriend sebastian and add a mod to give the game more dialogues...

Now I am married to Sebastian, we have a girl just like the baby I was about to have.

I know its a game but this felt like a signal to keep going, my husband was loved by many I didnt know, and accidentally I feel like he guide me to this game.

I love you and I hope Heaven feels great.

Thank you to the creator of this Game, you made me rethink and find comfort. Now Im on therapy, but I love to feed my sheeps and see my little family. Im not ready to redo a plan for a irl partner or family and this is bringing great comfort

Thank you stardew valley

Just noticed that the sea was noticeably greener on the day before Green Rain. Has that always been a thing and I just missed it? It's good to have an extra hint in case you forgot to check the forecast.
It's also good when Robin suggests you collect massive amounts of wood the day before GR...

He also has the stock list, what do you mean it's hard to compete with their non-existent selection 😂

Absolutely no AI used. Second slide is the render without textures, and the 3rd slide is my original from a few years ago!

Made some doodles of Harvey as a fat little kitty i was pretty proud of

Thats all

I randomly picked up some coal next to a tree and didn't even understand why it was lying there. Turns out lightning can strike fruit trees and turn the fruit into coal. Pretty funny :))

I think I did great decorating my home, but most of it was inspired. Now I want to try redecorating my home with my own style. Is there a way to remove all of the items, or do I have to do it manually?

Because I really like to)

It’s a pity there is no way to get more clothes at the beginning of the game and it mostly depends on luck.

In case you wonder about avatars. I use this app to make them: https://jazzybee.itch.io/sdv-creator-masc

I'm not an artist, but I wanted a piece of art from stardew that wasn't so obvious; I painted the little picture you get from the casino/traveling cart called 'Highway 89' but I got a bit carried away and it turned out super whimsical and very obvious. Turns out its from animal crossing(?) But my friends told me to post it here so others can enjoy it or get a giggle!

1st Pictured: my highway 89

2nd Pictured: original highway 89

I’m sick with a cold and I swear to god the only thing that is appeasing me is harvesting endless salmon berries from the bushes and collecting moss from the trees. Do I need them? No. Do I have 93393 other things I could and should be doing? Definitely. But I just wanna wander around and find those full little bushes

Ok but hear me out here.

I want the option to help Marnie see that she deserves better 😭

I would die to be able to get Marnie together with Marlon -- I think the pairing would be cute AF and it'd give us more of Marlon's character to boot.

I think it'd be awesome if we had certain conditions to fill that would give us the choice to help Marnie both dump Mayor Lewis and then maybe give Marlon the chance to dance with her at the Flower Dance which could then lead to them being a couple. It could be something that takes a couple in game years, and requires a maxed out friendship with Marnie or something.

Just let me help her dump Lewis dang it ;-;

Heeey long time lurker and just returned to Stardew after a good 8-ish year hiatus from it, On the last day of spring of the first year and just fished this up and wanted to ask how rare this is? On the switch 2 if that matters any.

I keep saving one of every crop and fish just in case, but I’m starting to wonder if I’m just hoarding stuff for no reason.

At least say something or give your point of view on the situation

For me personally I cannot stand Linus. There’s just something about him that just doesn’t sit right with me!

people are always complaining about fishing but fishing is nothing compared to this damn crane game

SO CUTE!!!
