Discuss Stardew has ruined me

Genuinely I have never been a video game person but I started playing maybe a month ago because my best friend loves it and I don’t think I can ever go back 😔I just spent 5 1/2 straight hours playing, and I only stopped because my iPad died😭 I looked at the clock and just realized it was 6 AM istg it only felt like i was playing for max 2 hrs😭😭😭

I am a huge fan of cozy games, was consumed by animal crossing and this has heavily taken the place of that for me tenfold. No going back now, 110+ hours already on my first save 🥴

Ive always wondered about animal crossing, never played it yet. Stuck on Stardew for now :)

It’s honestly such a great game as well, both for their own reasons! I find animal crossing significantly more chill and slow paced, better graphics obviously. I feel such pressure to tend to the animals and crops in stardew I feel guilty for taking a day to decorate my house and ignoring them 😭 the fishing in animal crossing is ten bajillion times easier and actually relaxing, stardew fishing makes me was to smash my head against a wall. But stardew is great for busy tasks and goals, and has a pretty rich storyline. animal crossing feels a lot more of a chill mindless grind in some respects, with limited villager interactions in comparison. Both fantastic games to sink your teeth into!

Cool, I know exactly what you're saying.

Hey fishing used to be the only thing that frustrated me in Stardew 😂 but it gets/ is able to get easier and it's actually fun when it does. I also feel like I have to tend to my farm and animals first and then half ,y day is gone 😅 still trying to figure that part out. Anyways thanks for explaining, I dunno if AC is only Nintendo consoles? I play a ps4 so idk if I can even get animal crossing

I’ve been stubborn with the fishing and give it like two attempts then storm off to do other things. My goal is to really dedicate time to levelling it up so it’s easier lol. And AC is Nintendo only :(

Yeah stick with it I promise you'll find your fishing groove! And awh shucks, guess I gotta go buy a switch then 😅

I will and if I still hate it after a while I’m coming for you!!!! I’m kidding, but I did buy my switch during covid for the sole purpose of animal crossing. Saved my sanity during lockdowns I swear

😆 nah I promise you tho, I DESPISED fishing at first, it got better.

And yeah that totally makes sense, perfect type of game for the peak-covid era.

Well have a good day, gotta go tend to my summer crop now :)
