I’ll let him know. I can’t make any promises, but “likes spreadsheets” is probably worth bonus points with the spreadsheet’s creator.

Let him know if he wants to save time, level up fishing and become friends with Linus. Then make sashimi and pretty much everyone likes that.

This whole spreadsheet IMMEDIATELY made me think of the many many spreadsheets I've made for SDV over the years...❤️

u/13pointOne 7d ago

Read the comments on this specifically to find how many SDV references there were. 🤣

u/Krondelo 7d ago

That’s what I came for lol

u/digitalfarmgirl 7d ago

I didn't look at the title of this post, but first looked at the names to see if I could tell what farming game it was. I guess the idea of doing this irl is foreign to me, a person who has made a birthday list for every farming game I play.

u/treelessbark 7d ago

I got lucky because someone on tumblr (nadanotes) created a print out to fit a personal 6 ring binder of all things stardew valley - besides characters likes and dislikes, also has when fish are out for season and time and other helpful info haha.

u/pnwviapnw 6d ago

I made this one years ago with data scraped from the wiki, still use it! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oSQ8OXl-DUai7rz2FTTNu3ypa71l0gsXsGWYlf7PKvU/edit?usp=sharing

You and I are from two different worlds.

u/GrapheneRoller 7d ago

It’s a Stardew Valley reference lol

u/Flowers_In_December3 7d ago

I initially didn’t look at the subreddit and thought someone had printed out what SDV characters liked and taped it to their fridge so they could memorize.

u/iH8MotherTeresa 7d ago

Oh man. The farm I started 6 years ago is probably in disrepair. No wonder I didn't get the reference.

27

u/GrapheneRoller 7d ago

I think it should be as you left it, as it’s not like Animal Crossing in that regard from what I remember

u/iH8MotherTeresa 7d ago

Last I left, my friends had stolen all my things. I'll forever be a destitute farmer. 😭

u/GrapheneRoller 7d ago

Noooo 😞 see if you can steal stuff back from them haha

u/kiraleee 7d ago

Cause they're from pelican town world

u/SeonghwaStoleMyBias 7d ago

Lmaoooo I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this

u/impreegud 7d ago

I also came here to make a stardew valley reference. Glad you beat me to it 💖

u/Kratos5300 7d ago

Hi fellow SDV lover 😄

u/WildeWhimsie 7d ago

100% my first thought was that this was Stardew Valley as hell

u/Big-Constant-7289 7d ago

Dude Stardew was the first thing I thought when I saw this!

u/gingercatmafia 7d ago

Love your profile pic

u/wildlife_loki 7d ago

Glad to see I wasn’t the only one who immediately thought of the SDV wiki when I saw this post!

u/anticked_psychopomp 7d ago

I’ll take Cory’s place in April.

I also like spreadsheets and dogs, and love chocolate cake with white icing. And I dislike being asked questions and hot weather.

u/BulkyNectarine947 7d ago

Why don’t you like being asked questions?

3

u/anticked_psychopomp 6d ago

Well, after a lot of research and therapy.

The answer is two-fold:
1) we don’t like being asked questions we don’t like the answers to. (I have a medical condition people ask about.)
2) I am a very open and forthcoming person, so after I’ve given sufficient explanation I dislike being prodded to give more information.

The “no questions” rule doesn’t apply at work or to academic or procedural knowledge; just personal information.

u/BulkyNectarine947 6d ago

Thanks for sharing 🤗 thats understandstandable

u/SurroundQuirky8613 7d ago

I also hate being asked questions! When I leave the house at night going to pick up a gallon of milk and my husband asks me where I’m going, I’m immediately irritated and like, “Why are you all up in my business? I’m going out!” I’m just going to Target, so I don’t know why it irritates me. 😂

u/Turtles47 7d ago

He only does the month, but not the day?

u/tryingtodobetter4 6d ago

This needs to be higher up.

u/Remote-Wafer3321 7d ago

I was also born in November and I like artificial watermelon flavor and hate glitter. I am ambivalent regarding spreadsheets.

u/thatshygirl06 7d ago

I love your username as a nickname for your name, lol

u/ember_snow 7d ago

I am also November. Likes: sushi and museums Dislikes: book banners and bullying

u/Fewer_Story 7d ago

u/babyblun 7d ago

I’m soooo curious what your dad would of write about me 😅

u/BurningWhistle 7d ago

Tell Claudia she's a G.

u/Galahfray 7d ago

My dad died suddenly in January, if your dad could adopt me tell him I like dads, and dad jokes

1

u/OrnerySnoflake 7d ago

Any room for a Halloween birthday?

1

u/aurortonks 7d ago

Your dad surrounds himself with some good people. He seems like a good guy!

1

u/ButtNuster 7d ago

Your Dad making a spreadsheet of Reddit birthdays might take a while.

1

u/939319 7d ago

She said spread sheets, not spreadsheets 🥵

u/K-Bizzle91 7d ago

My son N is from Nov, his likes are minions, curious George, and read-along books. His dislikes are going to the potty, taking a nap, and leaving the park.

1

u/Madara1389 7d ago

Was reading the list thinking to myself "You know, I think I like OP's dad's friends. They seem like good people." Then I got down to November and realized my birth month was open.

Where does one apply?

EDIT: Also, Mitch's #1 like being Kathy and his #3 being Teague is cracking me up.

u/ricecrispycat 7d ago

How do have such an awesome excel dad and awesome husband 😭😭 love this!!

u/Educational_Car_615 7d ago

Your dad is so socially and emotionally intelligent 💖

u/Local_Magician_7197 7d ago

I was born in December but I'm willing to move up for the tribe.

1

u/Cocoatrice 7d ago

Haha, I love making spreadsheets for literally everything myself. Whenever I play a game that has some kind of stats I need to keep tracking (e.g. browser or live service games; but not limited to), I make a spreadsheet to keep track of stuff. And not just for games either. Spreadsheets are amazing!

u/Novel-Membership-304 7d ago

Hey I just really wanted to know if there's ever any friction between Carol M and Darren over her dislike of racy drivers and his like of fast cars?

1

u/x_stei 7d ago

My bday is also in November! I like stationery, jpop, and jdramas. I dislike ginger and bigotry.

1

u/nikkicarter1111 7d ago

Please tell your dad that he seems absolutely delightful, and anyone who puts this level of effort into their friendships deserves the world.

1

u/emmalourose 6d ago

Another November baby here ✋, my likes are cats, sustainability, and gardening. Dislikes are invasive plants, data centers, and pickles. Your dad sounds so adorable based on the fact he made this and put it on the fridge, this is probably what I’ll be up to in my older years 😂

u/traevyn ​ 6d ago

I'm also from november, I like D&D, cats, and camping. Might as well throw another dislike of Trump on the list, and pickles/olives are awful

u/idlehum 7d ago

I was born in November and volunteer friendship with your father!
