◼
►
plus RPG elements where you like build
◼
►
stuff on your farm or there's a little
◼
►
there's some you know there's games in
◼
►
one it's amazing anyway but this place
◼
►
the name of the town is Pelican town but
◼
►
they are just riddled with singles whom
◼
►
you can woo into marriage to get some
◼
►
help on your farm those of which you can
◼
►
mingle yeah I didn't say they're riddled
◼
►
with singles there there are six single
◼
►
people of each gender and totally twelve
◼
►
total like there's not many people in
◼
►
a lot of people yeah forgiveness isn't a
◼
►
dating simulator that's quite a few
◼
►
people there's a plethora of options you
◼
►
know it's like when I play a Formula One
◼
►
I don't bump into a bunch of single
◼
►
people with whom you can mingle as do
◼
►
you play a lot of Formula one games
◼
►
aren't you British like do they even
◼
►
have that no I haven't I have literally
◼
►
no idea why that came into my mind I
◼
►
don't know if I've played a Formula One
◼
►
racing game in like ten years but that
◼
►
was what came into my head all right so
◼
►
I think I want to start this episode to
◼
►
introduce our bachelors and
◼
►
bachelorettes and in this game you are
◼
►
free to pursue any gender you like you
◼
►
could do whatever you want because it's
◼
►
free for all and everyone's cool
◼
►
so all right let us introduce our
◼
►
bachelors bachelor number one we have
◼
►
Alex the fitness obsessed jock we have
◼
►
Elliot who I like to call Fabio the
◼
►
long-haired deep thinking novelist I
◼
►
have the wiki pedia page up and he's
◼
►
just smoldering his eyes at me right now
◼
►
all right bye I have a problem with
◼
►
Elliot and that I can I can never tell
◼
►
I always think he's one of the female
◼
►
characters every single time every time
◼
►
I think that Sevilla is that that's
◼
►
that's just he just cuz he has long hair
◼
►
doesn't mean he's a woman no but of that
◼
►
kind of size I can tell everyone in
◼
►
about like a third of people in this
◼
►
yeah there's yeah the diversity is
◼
►
pretty not there like yeah like among
◼
►
them and we have there's six women three
◼
►
of them are redheads one's blonde one
◼
►
has blue hair and one has purple hair
◼
►
like there's no pair Nets like there's
◼
►
like there's there's like one like kind
◼
►
of Blacky dark gothy hair anyway we'll
◼
►
get today all right all right not the
◼
►
most diverse selection
◼
►
we're on Ronnie bachelor number three
◼
►
Harvey the nerdy germaphobic doctor we
◼
►
have Sam the anime haired skater
◼
►
he just jumped right out of Street
◼
►
Fighter 2 we have sebastian whom I like
◼
►
to call orange the dark and moody emo
◼
►
goth and finally for our bachelors we
◼
►
round it out with Shane these
◼
►
self-loathing drunken slob who loves
◼
►
chickens so we have a real winning
◼
►
winning set there for the bachelors for
◼
►
we have Haley the prissy girly girl we
◼
►
have Maru the nerdy scientist
◼
►
we have Abigail the rebellious
◼
►
adventurous vide video game chick we
◼
►
have Leah the sensitive environmental
◼
►
artists penny the uptight conservative
◼
►
teacher and Emily the new-age Spacey
◼
►
fashion designer barmaid we have for the
◼
►
bachelorettes there's a better selection
◼
►
of people they don't have as much
◼
►
extreme quirks but yet they have their
◼
►
own personalities so as someone who is
◼
►
pursuing a man in the game I'm really
◼
►
very disappointed okay
◼
►
there's so many better women to pick
◼
►
from there really is I don't know how do
◼
►
you guys feel okay so I mostly don't
◼
►
interact with very many people in this
◼
►
game in general just because I really
◼
►
was focused I'm like halfway through my
◼
►
second year my first year was completely
◼
►
focused on building the most optimal
◼
►
growing situation possible and they're
◼
►
mining for the entire winter yep I
◼
►
didn't speak to somebody for the entire
◼
►
winter I was mining the whole time so my
◼
►
relationships with the individuals in
◼
►
study valley is is not high in the
◼
►
aggregate and it's mostly because I
◼
►
actually find most of the male
◼
►
characters to kind of be annoying or
◼
►
boring yes yeah the reason I'm saying
◼
►
this is because I want you to note if
◼
►
that like I can simplify of where you're
◼
►
coming from because I mostly stay away
◼
►
from the guys because I'm kind of not
◼
►
really interested in them well half of
◼
►
them tell you to go away like the first
◼
►
interaction you have with them they tell
◼
►
you to like get out of my face go away
◼
►
or they're too busy with like whatever
◼
►
they're doing the only guy that I have
◼
►
any interest in is line
◼
►
because I want to know he's all about
◼
►
right and and he's the homeless man who
◼
►
lives in a tent and yeah he seems to be
◼
►
the nicest one but you can't date him
◼
►
not allowed it's a shame and Louis the
◼
►
mayor as well he's kind of cool but
◼
►
Oh Louis has got a thing going on with
◼
►
someone else in town it's it's funny how
◼
►
like the like as you like the first year
◼
►
in game time that I play it through I
◼
►
got to know almost nobody and it was it
◼
►
was only like in like the winter that I
◼
►
started you know TIF is very social with
◼
►
everybody tips going around spending
◼
►
like two-thirds of every game day like
◼
►
keeping everybody like fruit and stuff
◼
►
and she knows it everyone likes when
◼
►
everyone hates and I'm just like meh I
◼
►
don't like I don't know how you have
◼
►
time for that well they all end up
◼
►
developing so much depth let me tell you
◼
►
like as you bust into their little
◼
►
shells like you start caring about these
◼
►
little digital people and they have like
◼
►
ups and downs and little past like
◼
►
background stories and ever someone's
◼
►
like hot and on someone else and this
◼
►
person sleeping yeah oh it's that's deep
◼
►
because like if you pay attention you
◼
►
can kind of see like oh you know like
◼
►
these people are always kind of standing
◼
►
together even though they're both
◼
►
technically single as far as the game
◼
►
concerns like they seem to be into each
◼
►
other you know like they're and there's
◼
►
and there's certain ones that make it
◼
►
apparent to you that they are like the
◼
►
whole situation between my blacksmith
◼
►
and my crazy blue girlfriend that that
◼
►
went that went oh macha but but yeah
◼
►
like it is it is tricky though like this
◼
►
game has you know like like the rest of
◼
►
it has a surprising amount of depth in
◼
►
the characters and in the writing and
◼
►
and their storylines and everything and
◼
►
when you first interact with everybody
◼
►
you do feel like it's pretty shallow
◼
►
like okay this person is a drunk this
◼
►
person hangs out here this person likes
◼
►
animals you know this person hates
◼
►
everything I give them but like for the
◼
►
most part almost all these characters do
◼
►
develop a lot of depth if you give them
◼
►
time it takes a long time for that for
◼
►
you to like build up your little
◼
►
friendship heart level for remember
◼
►
these people to like see their various
◼
►
cutscenes and to have them tell you a
◼
►
little bit more about themselves and
◼
►
have like the little conversation with
◼
►
them it all takes time
◼
►
and because the way the game is designed
◼
►
and because of how much time it takes
◼
►
like you're only really getting to know
◼
►
a handful of people in town very well
◼
►
for most playthroughs I think like I
◼
►
actually have some interest in starting
◼
►
over in the game at some point in the
◼
►
future and just getting to know
◼
►
different people maybe joining up with
◼
►
Joe Joe instead of doing the community
◼
►
center or stuff like that like like like
◼
►
there's so much in this game and
◼
►
whenever you like make a choice like you
◼
►
like you you know Joyner John join Joe
◼
►
Joe and I'm like later on like you you
◼
►
know the people you talk to them like
◼
►
you marry somebody even just like the
◼
►
kind of farm you live on like there's so
◼
►
many so many like choices that become
◼
►
permanent choices in the game where
◼
►
there's so much to this game that I feel
◼
►
like I'm only seeing like 20 percent of
◼
►
it playing through the way I'm playing
◼
►
you just don't want fruit bats anymore
◼
►
because they're garbage
◼
►
yeah through pets suck the mushroom
◼
►
boxes are a way better they can play in
◼
►
your cave can you imagine how this must
◼
►
sound to people who are not playing
◼
►
oh yes wild mushroom it was an easy
◼
►
choice come on like you come for you
◼
►
gets just free foraging I who goes with
◼
►
the fruit bats I did yeah because
◼
►
Tiffani with the mushrooms and she got
◼
►
there before I did so I figured like you
◼
►
know we're playing separate games so if
◼
►
you're like the choices that she makes
◼
►
I'll make different choices so then at
◼
►
least because we watch each other play a
◼
►
lot so at least then I'll see different
◼
►
things that happen in the game but yeah
◼
►
fruit bats were there slackers they
◼
►
hardly ever have anything in their eye
◼
►
so I'm interested then this is is this
◼
►
everyone else's first playthrough like
◼
►
their first farm yep oh all right do we
◼
►
have an experienced player amongst us uh
◼
►
well actually I've always been like a
◼
►
farm slacker I'm exactly the opposite I
◼
►
went straight for the relationships and
◼
►
I think it's because I've always enjoyed
◼
►
Animal Crossing more than games like The
◼
►
Sims or civilization and like I love
◼
►
resource management games but this is
◼
►
great because you kind of have to
◼
►
resource manage your relationships which
◼
►
I can't do in real life and this is
◼
►
great there's literally a guide online
◼
►
to tell you how to date and romance
◼
►
these people it is perfect one of the
◼
►
things I love most about this I have a
◼
►
guy directly to your heart
◼
►
like one of the things I love most about
◼
►
this game is that it was developed
◼
►
entirely by one person like one young
◼
►
made this game he made all of the art he
◼
►
composed the music all like all the
◼
►
programming all the sound effects like
◼
►
that's an incredible feat and there's so
◼
►
much and the art is excellent the music
◼
►
is fantastic like that he wrote of a
◼
►
dialogue it's pretty decent
◼
►
the gameplay is great like for one
◼
►
person to do all this let alone to do to
◼
►
do all these things incredibly well is
◼
►
really impressive but I do have a little
◼
►
bit of concern about how he views
◼
►
relationships like it seems it seems
◼
►
like you know like I'm not entirely sure
◼
►
like you're supposed to make friends by
◼
►
like giving them mayonnaise every day
◼
►
well apparently that's how you make
◼
►
the rest of us have conversations and
◼
►
talk to people I do that too but if you
◼
►
don't give them the mayonnaise than the
◼
►
NiO you don't really level up with the
◼
►
hearts I mean it's just like anyone
◼
►
though if you give them lots of presents
◼
►
they're gonna like you more like
◼
►
conversations the slow road the other
◼
►
problem I have with with some of the
◼
►
with all the singles really is that it's
◼
►
kind of hard to tell like what age we're
◼
►
supposed to be yeah some of them are
◼
►
very childlike yet we're like you know
◼
►
like and some of them still live with
◼
►
their parents in town who are different
◼
►
characters in town some of them live by
◼
►
themselves you know some of them are
◼
►
like seemingly more independent some of
◼
►
them have fights with their parents as
◼
►
if they were teenagers some of them are
◼
►
you know totally independent adults like
◼
►
it's very Leah had an ex that had called
◼
►
her on the phone yeah yeah yeah and I
◼
►
have to say in my game because I'm
◼
►
playing as a woman she referred to her
◼
►
ex as a she so I thought that was pretty
◼
►
nice resting mm-hmm I don't know if she
◼
►
did that with everybody or if change is
◼
►
related to who you're playing as because
◼
►
I don't see everyone is into me not not
◼
►
everyone's into me now I'm not trying to
◼
►
be complaining here Alex and Haley
◼
►
alright cuz they're the conceited one
◼
►
but I must say I'm pretty popular I'm I
◼
►
handed out a lot of bouquets because I
◼
►
don't know what to do but oh wow how
◼
►
see you in whoa you're getting a round
◼
►
TIFF I feel like four people in the
◼
►
pocket here I'm ready to go and I've got
◼
►
two more coming up so I pursued a you
◼
►
know most of the singles I at least
◼
►
tried to like start giving them gifts
◼
►
and so and like start getting on their
◼
►
good side and I got nowhere with almost
◼
►
all of them like I only had a chance
◼
►
with a few but we'll get to that in a

a huge stack of recipe cards it's pretty

totally great like we pay for it like

everyone else and it's just awesome even

though we've used it for that all this
◼
►
time they don't repeat the same recipe
◼
►
within a year and then even the next
◼
►
year if they have something kind of
◼
►
similar it's usually different in some
◼
►
way they usually like alter it in some
◼
►
way so I'm not sure if we've ever had
◼
►
the same recipe twice that was totally I
◼
►
modified and honestly I don't even mind
◼
►
when we do because I'm happy to have it

better way to cook yeah so basically I
◼
►
want to hear whatever who everyone is
◼
►
pursuing and I think then we should do
◼
►
instead of the round going around saying
◼
►
are one two threes and four is like each
◼
►
individually we say them as a as a
◼
►
grouping all right here is my full list
◼
►
of my top four so who wants I want you
◼
►
yeah I want to know who you are going
◼
►
after well and so first of all I also
◼
►
want to know Alex like so you said you
◼
►
know you played this you like you've
◼
►
played multiple games of this mm-hmm
◼
►
have you have you made different
◼
►
relationship choices in each one yes I
◼
►
have not gotten divorced yet but that's
◼
►
kind of like become a goal for me not
◼
►
not in this game children because I
◼
►
think you like you let returning to the
◼
►
ether or something if you accidentally
◼
►
have children you don't want oh my god
◼
►
really yeah you can indeed return them I
◼
►
don't know if you can if you have
◼
►
biological children but if you have a
◼
►
queer relationship I believe they just
◼
►
can like disappear and then you get the
◼
►
resources resources alright so how do
◼
►
you want to play it outs do you want to
◼
►
say who you buy for the most recent game
◼
►
or just jet your general opinions of the
◼
►
sum total of all your games um you know
◼
►
what how about I start with four down
◼
►
and I've romanced all of these people
◼
►
but the first person I ever romanced was
◼
►
Leah because I felt like the first time
◼
►
I played I kind of really got into the
◼
►
character of like yeah I'm this loner
◼
►
farmer this is a new thing for me and we
◼
►
seemed to kind of the same rapport like
◼
►
she doesn't really live quite in town
◼
►
like everybody else and doesn't have a
◼
►
of it when you start off doesn't have a
◼
►
ton of interactions with other people
◼
►
and then my next game I romanced Harvey
◼
►
because he reminded me of myself because
◼
►
he's always very anxious and standoffish
◼
►
and he's me dude in the game that I
◼
►
found appealing in anyway no surprise I
◼
►
mean we talked a bit about the ages in
◼
►
the it's hard to get this until later on
◼
►
in the game but in if you go in the wiki
◼
►
it specifically says he's one of the
◼
►
older bachelors so and you could really
◼
►
tell because he's not a man-child and
◼
►
he's not complaining about his parents
◼
►
or just playing video games in the
◼
►
basement I mean Sebastian literally
◼
►
plays videogames in basement well but
◼
►
anytime you get into Harvey's bedroom
◼
►
he's in there like listening to his like
◼
►
CB radios and he's like Harvey's busy
◼
►
right now he can't talk to you he's so
◼
►
preoccupied with his hobbies he was the
◼
►
challenge just keeps telling me to cover
◼
►
my mouth when I cough like it does seem
◼
►
like different people are seemingly like
◼
►
programmed to be easier or harder to
◼
►
become friends with is that is that true
◼
►
or does it just seem that way like do I
◼
►
just guess wrong on what they like in my
◼
►
opinion it is harder like I feel like
◼
►
Harvey Harvey was kind of a challenge
◼
►
but my next pick Abigail she's my number
◼
►
two and still one of my favorite
◼
►
characters like right now I'm not
◼
►
currently pursuing her but she's like my
◼
►
best friend in the game and she's kind
◼
►
of like the I think it's because I'm
◼
►
Wynonna up right now and like she's this
◼
►
cool awesome adventurer and we talked
◼
►
about the Mayans and she showed me her
◼
►
secret sword which is not an issue for
◼
►
anything and she's just cool I also
◼
►
there's kind of like some coded language
◼
►
of like the mom is concerned about her
◼
►
alternative lifestyle and I was like
◼
►
wait do you mean her like that we're
◼
►
dating or that she's like way too into
◼
►
I my white whale who I have never this I
◼
►
think this is the this switch game this
◼
►
is the one I'm pursuing Maru who is like
◼
►
she is interested in science she built
◼
►
robots she's the only one who
◼
►
appreciates copper ores which are really
◼
►
her father whose super protective he's
◼
►
always like don't touch my baby like yes
◼
►
right and Demetrius is quite right he's
◼
►
quite protective but like I've so I
◼
►
found out this you know what this could
◼
►
just be in my mind I haven't looked this
◼
►
up because I'm trying again
◼
►
to like sort of step back and we like
◼
►
Marco said it's just so deep and you can
◼
►
get really deep in like the wiki's and
◼
►
and the tutorial videos and stuff like
◼
►
that but like maru's kind of like my
◼
►
pure relationship like I found out how
◼
►
much you liked batteries and I'm like oh
◼
►
my god you are my actual soul mate oh
◼
►
wow how do you feel about hdmi cables if
◼
►
should be a question for you about
◼
►
harvey though for just a sec just a very
◼
►
white whale harvey seems to have a thing
◼
►
for maru right there's like a thing
◼
►
going on there and there's a couple
◼
►
people who seem to have things for each
◼
►
other like margot brought up earlier so
◼
►
i was a little hesitant to break up
◼
►
relationships like oh new farmer in town
◼
►
here i come gonna break like be a
◼
►
homewrecker right III feel a little bit
◼
►
bad cuz he's always like oh wow do you
◼
►
think marui noticed me or something and
◼
►
I'm like I can't I can't I don't know I
◼
►
don't know that's like I can't I think
◼
►
that's why she's harder and that's why I
◼
►
went with Leah initially because I I
◼
►
felt like I was an outsider and I wanted
◼
►
to bond with someone who was most like
◼
►
my character but so far I am only in the
◼
►
first year of my current game so I guess
◼
►
if you were going to call this top for a
◼
►
challenge I failed because I have not
◼
►
yet we have not yet become engaged but I
◼
►
think we're on the cusp of it I've got
◼
►
all of the hearts I'm gonna get a
◼
►
bouquet I think today might be the day
◼
►
excited new phone new wife great so you
◼
►
see you consider so you so you consider
◼
►
the D bouquet and engagement not so much
◼
►
as a hey let's go hang out
◼
►
well there is an engagement period when
◼
►
you give them the you know the pendant
◼
►
yes I'm sorry yes the pendant not the
◼
►
bouquet okay okay now do you see I sense
◼
►
a thing between Leah and Elliot because
◼
►
you know Elliot has a piece of Leah's
◼
►
art in his in his cabin yes there are we
◼
►
standing together yes tables and
◼
►
everything I'd like the flower festival
◼
►
there like next to each other and then
◼
►
hanging out they kind of seem like the
◼
►
two cabin people you know they're like
◼
►
the mirrors of each other to live in
◼
►
that cabin life again I was like ah
◼
►
freaking like if there's any two people
◼
►
in all of town that would have their own
◼
►
little house full of cats it would be
◼
►
those two probably I'm like ah you I'm
◼
►
just like hang out and watch Netflix and
◼
►
play whatever the start I wonder if
◼
►
there's like a stardew valley in stardew
◼
►
valley like like what do what what
◼
►
sebastian playing in his basement is he
◼
►
playing like the equivalent of pub G or
◼
►
is he like in Demario Odyssey I don't
◼
►
think he probably plays that cart game
◼
►
there's the minecart game Abigail plays
◼
►
a little like running around shooting
◼
►
things prairie game Barry King
◼
►
adventures Perry she has the fairy king
◼
►
home edition her little Super Nintendo
◼
►
and in her area that was one of my
◼
►
favorite cuts and when she's like
◼
►
whenever Gail was like oh he can't help
◼
►
me with this game he's totally my BFF in
◼
►
the game - I agree when when Morrow's
◼
►
like oh can I show you the robot I was
◼
►
building I I think I audibly gasped all
◼
►
I have to offer you is mayonnaise just
◼
►
like it just stops then you start
◼
►
hearing Dreamweaver playing right
◼
►
here take all the batteries just take
◼
►
it's just slow mo and she's like working
◼
►
on a robot and you're just like gonna
◼
►
hey alright so is that your official do
◼
►
what my official top four yeah ed get
◼
►
list them out list them out nice and
◼
►
number three Harvey number two Abigail
◼
►
there she is alright Mike pretty good
◼
►
how are you doing and and and also I'm
◼
►
curious like how far you've gotten but
◼
►
you can lead up to that if you want
◼
►
alright so I'm like halfway through year
◼
►
two and I've only spent you two really
◼
►
trying to get to know anybody with any
◼
►
kind of intent for a relationship
◼
►
so basically effectively when Marco and
◼
►
TIFF asked me to do this a couple of
◼
►
weeks ago like a week ago I've just put
◼
►
all of my time into trying to get to a
◼
►
relationship status for somebody and
◼
►
there were maybe four people that I were
◼
►
there were four people that I was like
◼
►
thinking about and like starting to have
◼
►
conversations with and like trying to
◼
►
give gifts to and kind of see what the
◼
►
vibe was and I've kind of ranked them in
◼
►
the best way that I can so number four
◼
►
is Emily I didn't really get very far
◼
►
with Emily what I liked about Emily is
◼
►
that she has blue hair and works in a
◼
►
saloon so that's kind of a little I've
◼
►
got which indicates potentially how far
◼
►
she seemed cool but also I was kind of
◼
►
put off by the Clint situation right
◼
►
when when he started mentioning that I
◼
►
was like I'm gonna back I'm gonna back
◼
►
away from this this I want to step on
◼
►
any toes because this is the only like
◼
►
in my in what I've been doing and what
◼
►
I've been playing this is the only kind
◼
►
of cold out potential relationship that
◼
►
I've come across is is Emily in Clint so
◼
►
I kind of left that off to the side then
◼
►
I was also like really impressed by Maru
◼
►
because she's super smart and techy
◼
►
focused but my problem with Maru
◼
►
I could never find her yeah I can't find
◼
►
so if I'm trying to speed run this
◼
►
relationship I could never find her so I
◼
►
had to kind of I'm sorry tomorrow if I
◼
►
if I can't find you you can't have my
◼
►
love you know you can't have this
◼
►
mayonnaise at least so then I was kind
◼
►
of starting to build relationships with
◼
►
Leah and Penny so they were the two
◼
►
people that was saying to like out of
◼
►
the four they were the last two Kenny's
◼
►
a tough nut to crack that's yeah that's
◼
►
impressive interesting okay penny is my
◼
►
girlfriend we've got we've gotten that
◼
►
far and there's a reason for this which
◼
►
I'll come to because she's obviously my
◼
►
number one I've destroyed top floor
◼
►
style so I like Leah I really like Leigh
◼
►
her a lot because she is independent and
◼
►
she seems strong minded right like I've
◼
►
I haven't seen many cutscenes but one of
◼
►
the cutscenes I've seen is the time when
◼
►
she's on the telephone right and I
◼
►
really liked the way that she interacted
◼
►
that and then how she speaks to you and
◼
►
I like that she wants to put on an art
◼
►
show and stuff like that like I like
◼
►
that about her she's really cool and I
◼
►
was kind of progressing with Leah and
◼
►
penny at the same rate until I hit
◼
►
Penny's cutscene when she's fighting
◼
►
with her mum that one it hit me and
◼
►
feels a little bit and I decided that I
◼
►
needed to make Penny's life better right
◼
►
cuz penny says something about like oh I
◼
►
wish I lived in like a big house because
◼
►
she lives in the trailer with her mom in
◼
►
the town well she said to me I wish I
◼
►
lived on a farm tee-hee-hee okay I see I
◼
►
see what's going on here but yeah when
◼
►
when I saw that like it it kind of made
◼
►
me uncomfortable and sad right because
◼
►
she's always talking about the fact that
◼
►
her mum is a kind of a layabout and a
◼
►
drunk right like this kind of what she's
◼
►
getting to and I wanted to see if I
◼
►
kind of the route that I went down plus
◼
►
I like penny because she has a cool job
◼
►
in the town right she's a teacher
◼
►
and she's also super easy to find so
◼
►
that was great or she's under a tree or
◼
►
she has like three places and if she's
◼
►
not in either of those three places then
◼
►
I just go to sleep that day because I
◼
►
can't find her anymore I've been going
◼
►
to bed at like 11 o'clock in the morning
◼
►
because this is my speed running does
◼
►
she go to like the little fitness class
◼
►
that's in the general store no she
◼
►
I always laugh whenever I come it's like
◼
►
every time I've forgotten that they are
◼
►
all in that back room with the weird
◼
►
temple thing and then they're yeah
◼
►
they're all just kind of dancing but
◼
►
yeah so I'm watching with penny I have
◼
►
given penny a bouquet she is my
◼
►
girlfriend I have two hearts left to go
◼
►
and I assume when I get to the top is
◼
►
when is when we can get married so
◼
►
that's the route that I'm going down and
◼
►
Benny I want to help penny out I've
◼
►
already gotten her mom her job back
◼
►
that's good that I've reinstalled the
◼
►
bus in the town cuz I think that would
◼
►
plus you know I figure you know gotta
◼
►
get on the good side of the family if
◼
►
I'm gonna eventually ask her to marry me
◼
►
so how much better can it be than
◼
►
getting a mama a job back so that's good
◼
►
because now I can go out on the bus if I
◼
►
want to but yeah penny penny is my
◼
►
can I ask you Mike have you reached a
◼
►
certain cutscene that I guess I could
◼
►
only describe as literally and
◼
►
figuratively steamy no all right
◼
►
you've uh you've got someone look
◼
►
forward to like it would it be like
◼
►
should Mike make sure that Adina is not
◼
►
there like would that be weird if she
◼
►
was she should be there to know if we
◼
►
literally and figuratively steamy I
◼
►
think I get the clue Alex okay okay I
◼
►
oh yeah I'm right now making my way to
◼
►
let's see let's see what if there's
◼
►
anything awaiting me I have wondered
◼
►
what that place was full Hey
◼
►
so yeah my top floor again Emily Maru
◼
►
Lia and Penny alright
◼
►
TIFF want me to go next word you want to
◼
►
know no I I want you to go I want to
◼
►
I do I have lots of day and I want
◼
►
everyone to say stuff with me so yeah so
◼
►
I had a bit of a tough time at the
◼
►
beginning figuring out who to even
◼
►
pursue because at first I was like oh
◼
►
I'll go for robbing the carpenter
◼
►
because it would be great to have a
◼
►
carpenter as my wife like that would be
◼
►
so useful on the farm but no then she's
◼
►
married and in general like I find
◼
►
myself in a lot of the cut scenes I find
◼
►
it not so clear-cut whether I'm siding
◼
►
with the parents or the single person a
◼
►
lot of the cut scenes it's like kind of
◼
►
awkward like I don't really want to be
◼
►
involved in this discussion and also if
◼
►
you are some kind of weird like adult
◼
►
child your parent here is actually right
◼
►
and I agree with them but it was very
◼
►
hard like to get around that what kind
◼
►
of like weird like adult child weird
◼
►
split this game seems to be not quite
◼
►
making and so and and like as an old
◼
►
boring person at a parent now I did a
◼
►
frequently sign with the parents but
◼
►
anyway my I actually kind of ranked and
◼
►
discussed all six hailey the blonde
◼
►
she's my number six I I could never find
◼
►
her and then when I did try to talk to
◼
►
her she is so defensive and insulting
◼
►
for like when you don't know her very
◼
►
well that I was like alright forget this
◼
►
she like makes funnier clothes right
◼
►
away - yeah she's like making fun of me
◼
►
immediately like I'll use like just gave
◼
►
you this nice thing a honey or something
◼
►
and you're making fun of me like come on
◼
►
she's always looking for Alex - yeah
◼
►
yeah you can kind of tell like she's not
◼
►
really looking looking at me anyway I
◼
►
was also told that like she really likes
◼
►
diamonds and I'm like I've not got that
◼
►
many diamonds yeah exactly
◼
►
she's constantly nagging you it's very
◼
►
I mean some people are into that I guess
◼
►
but anyway everyone I guess number five
◼
►
penny I'm sorry Mike because I had I had
◼
►
similar problems with her in that she
◼
►
was easy to find which was nice but
◼
►
whenever I would try to you know give
◼
►
her things and talk to her and
◼
►
everything she always seemed totally not
◼
►
interested would totally shut me down
◼
►
and I just couldn't get anywhere with
◼
►
penny I tried I really did and like even
◼
►
when even her positive reactions to
◼
►
things aren't that positive like at
◼
►
least when you first get that when
◼
►
you're first trying get to know her and
◼
►
like I was also you know like Alex I
◼
►
think you mentioned earlier Demetrius
◼
►
kind of getting in the way of you
◼
►
getting close to Maru mm-hmm I I was
◼
►
really scared of a very protective drunk
◼
►
Pam getting in the way of me trying to
◼
►
get to know her daughter very well oh
◼
►
yeah there there's like a moment where
◼
►
she is almost like violent towards you
◼
►
yeah like right now like yeah I am
◼
►
already married in the game and Pam
◼
►
likes me a lot and yet every time I talk
◼
►
to Pam she's like hey you better stay
◼
►
away from my daughter and I'm not
◼
►
married to her daughter that's okay like
◼
►
you know I'm married now right like if
◼
►
she's still she's still driving that
◼
►
hard and she likes me so it's like yeah
◼
►
so I would be a little afraid of what
◼
►
like the town drunk would do in
◼
►
overprotective mode if I went for her
◼
►
daughter but just fine it wasn't an
◼
►
issue because her daughter seems to hate
◼
►
me anyway no matter what I give her my
◼
►
number four was Maru I was interested in
◼
►
getting to know her because she seems
◼
►
like you know nerdy and everything but I
◼
►
had the same problem you to my guy I
◼
►
like the entire time that I was like
◼
►
building up the relationships I think I
◼
►
saw Maru like three times total really
◼
►
hard to ever find her I also like so you
◼
►
know mechanically in the game when you
◼
►
marry someone they come to live on your
◼
►
farm with you and they basically become
◼
►
like you know like your assistant in
◼
►
some way that they don't do a lot on the
◼
►
farm they do like minor chores around so
◼
►
like they'll do like they'll fix the
◼
►
fence sometimes though occasionally
◼
►
water your dog bowl for you or whatever
◼
►
else like they do small things I kind of
◼
►
felt bad like Maru is like building
◼
►
robots and stuff and like what I think
◼
►
she'd be miserable coming to work on my
◼
►
farm it's like I kind of felt like I was
◼
►
a favor by trying to get her to come
◼
►
live with me you know like I kind of
◼
►
felt bad doing that my number three was
◼
►
Lea she I found her very hard to read
◼
►
like I like it was a little hard to know
◼
►
like whether she was liking anything or
◼
►
Lea seemed fairly neutral but ultimately
◼
►
disinterested in me I think she's going
◼
►
for Fabio and so it seems like you know
◼
►
maybe and she also you know it's hard to
◼
►
read part of like the the seeming
◼
►
disinterest was that she is she's one of
◼
►
the more independent adult characters
◼
►
that we can choose from so like it like
◼
►
maybe she just seemed like an
◼
►
independent adult rather than some kind
◼
►
of weird you know child adult thing that
◼
►
we had some of the other ones but
◼
►
ultimately yeah I wasn't anywhere with
◼
►
Lea either because I think she's gone
◼
►
for Fabio I was mainly dating two women
◼
►
in the game abigail and Emily blue and
◼
►
purple okay I refer to them as my purple
◼
►
girlfriend of my Glu girlfriend two
◼
►
redheads yeah and it's also very
◼
►
convenient in the game that they're easy
◼
►
to spot because they blue and purple but
◼
►
they're really easy to find and if you
◼
►
have a screen full of people it's really
◼
►
easy to figure out which ones they are
◼
►
so that made it easy Emily the my crazy
◼
►
blue girlfriend she seemed like she was
◼
►
she was one of the easier characters
◼
►
like her hearts seemed to go up faster
◼
►
than others she seemed very easily
◼
►
impressed by anything I gave her pretty
◼
►
much maybe I was just looking out with
◼
►
what I was giving her oh no she was
◼
►
super easy with me - yeah so she yes
◼
►
she's very forward and so I got to see a
◼
►
lot of her cutscenes also and so one of
◼
►
the problems you mentioned earlier Mike
◼
►
is that the blacksmith Clint it has a
◼
►
huge crush on her but he's like the sad
◼
►
sack or like never does anything but
◼
►
he's always like mopey about how much he
◼
►
likes Emily and how much she like
◼
►
doesn't notice him because he's sitting
◼
►
in the back being sad not doing anything
◼
►
this game you know there's only one
◼
►
blacksmith in town and you need the
◼
►
blacksmith for some pretty critical
◼
►
features of the game so I'm like you
◼
►
know I don't think I want to hangar my
◼
►
blacksmith in this game where there's
◼
►
only one in town like that doesn't sound
◼
►
and and in one of the later cutscene
◼
►
with Emily as you get up the heart meter
◼
►
there actually is a scene where like
◼
►
you're like hanging out with her in her
◼
►
house and then Clint comes in and sees
◼
►
you with her even but even when you
◼
►
aren't like a girlfriend level it's like
◼
►
it's just like one of the like the one
◼
►
of the hearts that was a fashion show
◼
►
yeah they did the fashion yeah Clint
◼
►
comes in and sees you with her he's like
◼
►
oh well congratulations Marco yeah and
◼
►
yeah like and like with a period at the
◼
►
end you know like not not animation
◼
►
point I'm just like it was the most
◼
►
painful thing and and at that point I
◼
►
had already decided that I was actually
◼
►
going to pursue Abigail so I'm like here
◼
►
I'm like I don't even want my crazy blue
◼
►
girlfriend you can have her like she's
◼
►
very very forward and also like really
◼
►
like new agey Spacey dreams about you
◼
►
and like and like her cut scenes are all
◼
►
like acid trips like it's really weak
◼
►
Wow yeah you should you should at least
◼
►
get a crazy blue girlfriend for a little
◼
►
while just so you can see some of these
◼
►
cut scenes they're hilarious you don't
◼
►
have to give her a bouquet to get all
◼
►
those cut scenes yeah you can give she
◼
►
likes rubies and you can get rubies
◼
►
constantly so yeah give her rubies okay
◼
►
yeah I'm gonna Ruby it up if you have
◼
►
one of those crystal copiers that's I I
◼
►
made my crystal copier a Ruby machine
◼
►
and just gave her one like every few
◼
►
days no crazy blue girlfriend anyway so
◼
►
my number one is Abigail I I did
◼
►
eventually marry her so I went from my
◼
►
purple girlfriend to my purple wife
◼
►
yeah she seemed like she seemed like I
◼
►
mean first of all like you know I have a
◼
►
type and she seemed the most TIFF like
◼
►
of all the character and you know it's
◼
►
cool she likes video games
◼
►
I just complimented she's pretty hot
◼
►
yeah yeah she she likes video games
◼
►
she's she is reasonably normal but fun
◼
►
like she has like a fun side she's not
◼
►
like super weird or super out there or
◼
►
like a drunk or anything like she's just
◼
►
like a normal but fun person
◼
►
conveniently in the game she's easy to
◼
►
find because she lives in the general
◼
►
store so it was really he's a definer
◼
►
for you know almost any day that I was
◼
►
trying to find her except Wednesdays
◼
►
her parents seemed normal easy to you
◼
►
know I I too was very friendly to her
◼
►
parents the whole time trying you know
◼
►
trying to like with them it doesn't
◼
►
actually except for that matter
◼
►
you found Pierre stash that's have you
◼
►
seen that cutscene no no what's that you
◼
►
like go into Pierre's room the gate
◼
►
makes you do it like I I didn't want to
◼
►
look at my future father-in-law's
◼
►
bedroom that's kind of awkward but like
◼
►
you go into his room and he catches you
◼
►
and he's and like you like found his
◼
►
stash and he gets all awkward and upset
◼
►
and it doesn't specify his stash of what
◼
►
it could be like either drugs or porn it
◼
►
was kind of unclear what the stash was
◼
►
but those are my two guesses but like it
◼
►
was it was really awkward and I'm like
◼
►
oh god like I'm about to marry this
◼
►
guy's daughter in like three days and
◼
►
I'm finding his drugs or porn stash if
◼
►
he's getting all mad but yeah otherwise
◼
►
it was good and the only thing that the
◼
►
only hesitation I had with Abigail is as
◼
►
you as you mentioned Alex she wants to
◼
►
go on adventure she wants to go in the
◼
►
caves and have these adventures with
◼
►
swords and everything as far as I know
◼
►
like mechanically in the game it's not
◼
►
possible for me to bring her like I
◼
►
don't think I can bring her on
◼
►
adventures and so I I kind of had the
◼
►
same feeling as like with Maru it's like
◼
►
well she wants this other kind of life
◼
►
but if she marries me I mechanically
◼
►
can't even give that to her I can't have
◼
►
her have her life of adventure
◼
►
so like am i like dooming her to like
◼
►
this unfulfilled life of like feeding my
◼
►
chickens and stuff like this she's free
◼
►
to go in adventures now that she's
◼
►
married to you right like before under
◼
►
her parents house like her dad was
◼
►
getting all mad that she was gonna you
◼
►
would if she's like hey Margo imma gonna
◼
►
go off to the caves is that cool if
◼
►
you're like of course let's go yeah
◼
►
anyway so that definite my my top six
◼
►
hey Lia penny marÃlia Emily and Abigail
◼
►
number one I did marry Abigail it's
◼
►
really nice having a purple wife and
◼
►
it's cool because like like the marriage
◼
►
in the game is so adorable like and not
◼
►
just the wedding but like just being
◼
►
married in the game is so cute like the
◼
►
spouse is all helpful she like gets me
◼
►
bombs and plates of food and stuff for
◼
►
like going in the mines like like the
◼
►
first morning we woke up together she
◼
►
hands me a bomb like here this is for
◼
►
your day like some explosives yeah
◼
►
exactly that's incredibly useful and
◼
►
awesome and she'd like they're so cute
◼
►
like when you when you walk up when you
◼
►
walk up to hint to them and hit the hit
◼
►
the talk button after you've already
◼
►
talked for the day you get like a little
◼
►
hug this little heart floats up with
◼
►
this little hug it's so cute it's
◼
►
adorable so it's it's a it's a really
◼
►
fun system and I'm glad I did it she
◼
►
does she's not that useful on the farm
◼
►
to be honest but it's it's fun and cute
◼
►
anyway like I love that your whole
◼
►
purpose for marriage though was
◼
►
initially it was like I just need some
◼
►
help on this farm feeding all these
◼
►
chickens well then I got the upgraded
◼
►
barn and couplet auto feed everybody I'm
◼
►
like well I guess I don't need anybody's
◼
►
help anymore but I guess I'll have a
◼
►
yeah the hugs it the hugs are worth it
◼
►
alright so now we get to talk about the
◼
►
men two of them can't even function with
◼
►
getting dressed because they have like
◼
►
holes in all their clothes right there's
◼
►
not a single woman with holes in her
◼
►
clothes I got two guys at holes in their
◼
►
clothes oh gosh I just don't even know
◼
►
where to start with this group like do
◼
►
you think it's definitely not a
◼
►
coincidence that this game was made by a
◼
►
guy and that the women candidates are
◼
►
overall pretty decent I really for a
◼
►
long time very internally struggled with
◼
►
the thought of being like I like the
◼
►
women so much more but I just can't
◼
►
bring myself to even in a fantasy world
◼
►
be forming a relationship with them
◼
►
because I feel like I would be lying to
◼
►
them and I didn't want them to live a
◼
►
lie with me in case the secret gets out
◼
►
like what if leah is a lesbian and then
◼
►
like I'm a fraud and I like marry her
◼
►
and it's not in my heart like that would
◼
►
she deserves a real a real true lesbian
◼
►
you and Marco are like well am I going
◼
►
to keep them from a happy life and I was
◼
►
just like the thirsty villager in town
◼
►
like Harvey Morrow come on let's cook
◼
►
marry me first come down to the love
◼
►
well she said there wasn't many you know
◼
►
crops or anything what else you gonna do
◼
►
all day that's true exactly but no like
◼
►
yeah I just IM v IM v the the pick of
◼
►
the ladies because man my dudes are just
◼
►
not great but I also did have a whole
◼
►
internal dialogue a internal struggle of
◼
►
who wants to live on a farm right like I
◼
►
feel like I didn't want to do many buddy
◼
►
to farm life that wasn't really
◼
►
interested in living on a farm and so
◼
►
that was like a little bit of a struggle
◼
►
well but like none of the characters
◼
►
want to live in a farm all of them are
◼
►
all like you had one day I want you out
◼
►
of this town I want to have an adventure
◼
►
Jane wants to raise chickens he's super
◼
►
into living on a farm it's the only
◼
►
reason like I kind of went into it but
◼
►
then you felt like Shane is this huge
◼
►
drunk right and he's just a mess of a
◼
►
person and he's tons of self-doubt and
◼
►
self-loathing and he you have all these
◼
►
cut scenes where he's like drinking on a
◼
►
cliff and gonna commit suicide and he's
◼
►
like oh it's so complicated but yeah his
◼
►
favorite gift is a beer and eventually
◼
►
he kind of cleans up after you have kind
◼
►
of like a you know a what's it called
◼
►
what's it called intervention yeah yeah
◼
►
yeah you have like an intervention
◼
►
heart-to-heart moment with him and he
◼
►
starts cleaning up Wow
◼
►
but his favorite is still a beer trying
◼
►
to stop drinking and you're giving him
◼
►
beer like do I give him the beer that I
◼
►
know he shouldn't be drinking because
◼
►
it'll make him like me master oh this is
◼
►
dark Emma I know and then also you have
◼
►
that panic of like is he gonna you know
◼
►
regress like is it gonna relapse
◼
►
is he actually better if I like going to
◼
►
be marrying him Apple girlfriend just
◼
►
likes cake it's a lot easier well my
◼
►
guys are so complicated it's so hard
◼
►
penny loves flowers I think what Lisa's
◼
►
been working for me flowers and I have
◼
►
lots of flowers cuz I grow lots of
◼
►
flowers at least at least she's like an
◼
►
inexpensive date you know like yeah Maru
◼
►
wanting batteries I mean jeez I've got
◼
►
I've been playing this game for like two
◼
►
years now in the game and I only have
◼
►
two batteries no you need more batteries
◼
►
man I know I have two oh you need a
◼
►
better place for those lightning rods
◼
►
Marco but and then another thing about
◼
►
Shane so I peeked at the wiki and I
◼
►
looked at like the different rooms that
◼
►
they bring into your house which is
◼
►
essentially like a mirror of their room
◼
►
in their own house where they live when
◼
►
you do get married and Shane's room is a
◼
►
pigsty like it's so messy so I don't
◼
►
know if I want a messy room in my house
◼
►
if I end up marrying Shane I mean my
◼
►
purple girlfriend brought me a guinea
◼
►
pig in yeah but at least it's clean like
◼
►
Shane is like still I think he actually
◼
►
does relapse to see those like spilt
◼
►
beer everywhere and like muddy boots and
◼
►
like pizza it's like it's gross yeah I
◼
►
don't you know you try to fix people but
◼
►
I don't I don't think he's gonna stay
◼
►
like all nice to me and I gave him a
◼
►
bouquet oh yeah he could be nice
◼
►
sometimes yeah this is really I know I
◼
►
Shane's like you know it's very spooky
◼
►
and then he works at Jojo Marx he like
◼
►
has too and he kind of like hates
◼
►
everything but I kind of fixed him I
◼
►
don't know I don't know it's really hard
◼
►
you never really fix him I know and then
◼
►
we have Alex who I was also pursuing
◼
►
heart I mean at first he was like oh go
◼
►
away I'm just gonna lift some weights
◼
►
I'm busy right now you know and he was
◼
►
like brushing me off and he's all into
◼
►
himself and kept asking where Hayley was
◼
►
and I was like ah but now he's being
◼
►
really nice to me I like pursued him a
◼
►
little bit more and he told me a little
◼
►
bit about his past and being unloved and
◼
►
all this kind of stuff all these guys
◼
►
have been unloved and then then he's
◼
►
like I don't know what they're asking me
◼
►
I don't know what's happening in all
◼
►
their relationships but I also have this
◼
►
fear of that he's gonna be like the hot
◼
►
boyfriend that is always looking over
◼
►
his shoulder for like the the other girl
◼
►
that's hotter in town like haze looking
◼
►
for Hayley I don't know if this is like
◼
►
teenage fears coming out said a lot of
◼
►
how's Yuto like really like live out
◼
►
your fantasies and also your fears and
◼
►
I'm like oh if I date like the hot jock
◼
►
guy is am I just gonna be like second
◼
►
place and he's so he's gonna be looking
◼
►
over his shoulder for someone else and
◼
►
I'm like I just I don't know if I could
◼
►
do that even though he's he's being
◼
►
really nice to me and he always has a
◼
►
shirt off lifting weights which isn't
◼
►
horrible and then Elliot he's just too
◼
►
Fabio like he's all romantic and we got
◼
►
drunk together once in the bar and that
◼
►
have you gotten has anyone else got
◼
►
drunk oh I love getting turn I don't
◼
►
know it's so like you get all glowy and
◼
►
wobbly it's real and giggly
◼
►
but yeah me and Elliot got drunk
◼
►
together so that was kind of nice but I
◼
►
still think he's into Leah so I'm
◼
►
I keep trying with Sebastian I've given
◼
►
him like 700 frozen tears and he does
◼
►
not care they are and he just doesn't
◼
►
care another person who has like
◼
►
something like expensive and rare as
◼
►
their favorite and he lives in his
◼
►
parents basement and he's just so oh and
◼
►
I caught him vaping out by the lake so
◼
►
I'm like ah so not into you man you just
◼
►
killed it he's if he's on the vape he's
◼
►
a sweet vape life yeah it was like in
◼
►
the rain like in the dark he's out there
◼
►
vaping by himself so like your choices
◼
►
Fabio and a sports guy who's always
◼
►
looking way to the shirt off yep yep so
◼
►
far that's my choices and then there's
◼
►
Sam the you know you know he pretty much
◼
►
looks like he's ready to catch some
◼
►
Pokemon and he's always complaining
◼
►
about helping around the house even
◼
►
though he still lives at home for some
◼
►
reason I feel like if you took the sky
◼
►
to his hair you'd get a fiber out of it
◼
►
yeah but so far I mean he we're not
◼
►
dating yet I have I gave a bouquet to
◼
►
Shane and Alex and Sam's next but and
◼
►
say I'm an Elliot or next you're a
◼
►
fourth yes I mean whoa why not I'm doing
◼
►
this thing this is who I am now
◼
►
I am the town bouquet Giver I guess if
◼
►
your options are all bad you can kind of
◼
►
really well if you just mooch them all
◼
►
together then they become a decent
◼
►
like a dateable person but yes Sam he
◼
►
just seems at least nice and mellow and
◼
►
chill and even though he still lives at
◼
►
home I think maybe he'll be a little bit
◼
►
better once I get him out but I don't
◼
►
think he's gonna give up that skateboard
◼
►
which is fine he can skate like that's
◼
►
cool he just seems like such a man-child
◼
►
that a little bit problem and then
◼
►
Harvey I have a hard time busting
◼
►
through like he just keeps telling me
◼
►
not to sneeze in my hands and shake
◼
►
people's hands every I don't know he's
◼
►
very upset about my germs such a doctor
◼
►
and he's always on his radio in his room
◼
►
and I just can't crack that nut so okay
◼
►
so my top four I have Sam as my number
◼
►
one even though we're not dating yet but
◼
►
I am hard pursuing him he just I need to
◼
►
give him some pizza I think he'll like
◼
►
that as teenage boys do god I said that
◼
►
doesn't sound good but his family's
◼
►
really nice and they live in town and I
◼
►
think he enjoys staying close to his
◼
►
family alright alex is my number two
◼
►
even though I'm worried about his
◼
►
hotness and lifting weights all the time
◼
►
I don't know but I think he'd be a good
◼
►
worker on the farm so that's good what's
◼
►
up your cow mm-hmm yeah that's that'd be
◼
►
okay we can always get divorced later
◼
►
it's fine Alex will be my future
◼
►
ex-husband that's that's a movie and
◼
►
then I have Shane as my number three
◼
►
because I'm just really upset about him
◼
►
possibly relapsing and bringing a messy
◼
►
room into my house which I'm not down
◼
►
with which of those are the bigger fear
◼
►
for you the messy room vile is glad to
◼
►
look at that every day there's muddy
◼
►
boots and he's out there in the back pet
◼
►
in that chicken I don't know I might
◼
►
have dirty children who Oh
◼
►
oh my gosh yeah just bury stained all
◼
►
over the place and my my safety is
◼
►
Elliott because I he's just he's very
◼
►
intense and very romantic I think I
◼
►
would just feel like I was stuck in a
◼
►
romance novel all the time which is fine
◼
►
sometimes but it just feels I don't know
◼
►
I just got a little stifled but I mean
◼
►
his room would be really clean yeah his
◼
►
room would be really clean and but it
◼
►
might be covered in like long hair you
◼
►
might get like long hairs in your toes
◼
►
that's true yeah his hair would be but
◼
►
yeah Ellie it's my safety because I feel
◼
►
like he will just roam an
◼
►
a rock if it you know if it's there yeah
◼
►
that's my that's my top four bachelors
◼
►
thanks reams prefix okay and if I were
◼
►
to bite the bullet and go with a lady I
◼
►
think I would pick Leah yeah I'd pick
◼
►
Leah why because I like the cheese an
◼
►
artist and I feel like we can like hang
◼
►
out and art together I think we would
◼
►
cuddle it would be nice yeah yep see you
◼
►
guys have been mentioning the wiki and I
◼
►
didn't really think about this before
◼
►
and oh my word there's so much
◼
►
incredible information hi Minister do
◼
►
you value wiki C I feel like I did not
◼
►
read too much in it because part of the
◼
►
joy of the game is figuring out this
◼
►
stuff you know and so like I try to only
◼
►
refer to the wiki if I'm really stumped
◼
►
about something or if I'm if I'm curious
◼
►
about some detail of the game that
◼
►
doesn't really matter like I was curious
◼
►
I just got a horse which by the way is
◼
►
awesome and I was here like do I need to
◼
►
flick feed the horse anything or do
◼
►
anything with the horse so I look I look
◼
►
that up you know and there was a swarm
◼
►
fish that I just could not figure out
◼
►
when the hell to catch it and I looked
◼
►
up a fish once but like I try to not
◼
►
read too much out but I know that's
◼
►
where I accidentally discovered that my
◼
►
purple wife loved the chocolate cake so
◼
►
I could I just looked up yes I've never
◼
►
even thought about looking up like what
◼
►
does penny like turns out penny really
◼
►
loves diamonds to the engagement stage
◼
►
at this point running this one a little
◼
►
way to the bank now the chocolate cake
◼
►
is really easy to make so like I had it
◼
►
really easy and and my crazy blue
◼
►
girlfriend like they're like the rubies
◼
►
so that was super easy cuz I had tons of
◼
►
those so like it yeah it definitely
◼
►
matters a lot and it's also good to know
◼
►
like as you're getting to know the
◼
►
people in town it's good to read the
◼
►
lists of universal likes and universal
◼
►
dislikes like when I first started
◼
►
surely you know TIFF told me I have to
◼
►
get people gifts so I first started I'm
◼
►
giving them like you know these cool
◼
►
crystals and so I found in the caves
◼
►
no one likes those pretty much like
◼
►
those are like like on the universal
◼
►
dislikes it's like almost all the
◼
►
minerals yeah don't give anybody fish
◼
►
they don't like that oh well I wouldn't
◼
►
have guessed that but like I've found
◼
►
the bad way yeah I wouldn't have guessed
◼
►
how many people like like the most of
◼
►
the artisan goods are included on the
◼
►
universal likes so if you can get you
◼
►
can walk around town with a handful of
◼
►
honey or mayonnaise and give them to
◼
►
almost everybody and almost everybody
◼
►
will like them although I did have a
◼
►
huge foot pot with my mother-in-law when
◼
►
I gave her either honey or mayonnaise
◼
►
she hates one of them didn't know that
◼
►
gave it to her twice because that every
◼
►
night you still don't know my code
◼
►
because you can't remember I feel like
◼
►
you need to play this game like with a
◼
►
notebook next to you it's like there's
◼
►
so many things where like it like one of
◼
►
the fish information because like on one
◼
►
of the living in the land TV shows it
◼
►
told me where to catch this fish and I
◼
►
just forgot and I'm like I should have
◼
►
heard that down dammit you can't you
◼
►
can't go back and like look at past ones
◼
►
yeah I did draw out what I considered to
◼
►
be the optimum sprinkler layout my farm
◼
►
so like my farm is that's why I spent my
◼
►
first year just mining the resources to
◼
►
buy enough sprinklers to mean that I
◼
►
never had the water plants anymore
◼
►
oh yeah that's step one is get yourself
◼
►
out of the business of watering anything
◼
►
but your dog wait you wanted a dog oh
◼
►
you haven't been giving your dog any
◼
►
water I have a cat I know I've never
◼
►
done it I did give your caddy water why
◼
►
do you have a cat I don't know I have a
◼
►
well of course alex has a cat of course
◼
►
no I just chose the cat because you know
◼
►
honestly I thought the cat would take
◼
►
would be less work is so cute though
◼
►
like it was a tail it goes thump thump
◼
►
thump on the ground Jeeves I called my
◼
►
and James just like I didn't know he
◼
►
needed anything so now I need to go put
◼
►
some water in his bowl like did you ever
◼
►
notice when it was raining that the bowl
◼
►
would fill up with water
◼
►
no and then every other day it was empty

►
again I mention to Jeeves right like
◼
►
Jesus just out that live in his life
◼
►
yeah I'm really glad you don't own like
◼
►
real pets I'm good for my chickens and
◼
►
my cows though okay so what's the what's
◼
►
name of everyone's farm so I kind of
◼
►
screwed up new farm is the farm name
◼
►
well the melee so I hate I just hate
◼
►
like all these like sim guns they make
◼
►
you name it's like I don't know what to
◼
►
call it so I wanted to I was just gonna
◼
►
call it mega farm because I thought it
◼
►
was kind of funny mega I call it mega
◼
►
farm so now it's called mega farm farm
◼
►
machine so it's just called mega farm
◼
►
phone hates so much and you can't change
◼
►
it after ten minutes of sitting there
◼
►
and trying to come up with something I
◼
►
thought I come up with something kind of
◼
►
funny and then just made it so much
◼
►
worse like I may as well have just
◼
►
called it Mike yeah it would have been
◼
►
mega farm fun that's pretty bad
◼
►
Marco I don't even know the name of your
◼
►
farm I thought I was being funny too and
◼
►
it was like name your farm and I was
◼
►
like sausage sausage is a funny word you
◼
►
you did you decided on the wrong gender
◼
►
mine's super boring it's called the
◼
►
upper farm because like I said I'm
◼
►
Wynonna Erb if if people like really
◼
►
campy sci-fi shows I recommend it
◼
►
because I'm like an adventurer in this
◼
►
I'm a I went with Schrute farm because I
◼
►
really like and my character's name is
◼
►
fanny so you got the whole thing like
◼
►
TIFF Fanny so right and then there's
◼
►
oh that's Dwight's sister and then
◼
►
everything on my farm is an out of
◼
►
reference to the office so anything I
◼
►
ever had to nays and all your cows and
◼
►
everything yeah my dog's name is Dwight
◼
►
and all my cows name and chickens and
◼
►
everything are named all different
◼
►
things I even have a mastered
◼
►
if the goat and peepee this is a good
◼
►
theme so you don't play as yourself - I
◼
►
know I am myself but I just decided that
◼
►
I just can't get it like huh I I have a
◼
►
I have a naming scheme for my animals in
◼
►
that is related to the animals and it
◼
►
changed the vowels in it so my cows
◼
►
they're all variation of the word Moo
◼
►
but I just changed the OO - like I I or
◼
►
you you or why why well sometime I mean
◼
►
I there's some variation like milk
◼
►
machine egg machine eggs herb get KitKat
◼
►
for me cat anyway I'm very lazy with
◼
►
animals in this game yeah mine are kind
◼
►
of closer to the Alex ones
◼
►
mine are like the foods that they could
◼
►
eventually become so like my chickens
◼
►
are all named like salad soup
◼
►
cacciatore things like that my my duck
◼
►
is confit the rabbit rabbit stew yeah
◼
►
the rep's names to do tartare you have
◼
►
two cows tartare the pig is pulled
◼
►
cordovan cordovan yeah also dark man I
◼
►
just have like Kevin there's one of the
◼
►
reasons I did this is because like there
◼
►
are a few bugs in the switch version and
◼
►
one of them that I came across just
◼
►
through reading reddit is that if you
◼
►
accidentally or purposefully name an
◼
►
animal after somebody in the town it
◼
►
will eventually corrupt your game really
◼
►
check I don't think I have there's no
◼
►
office names yeah yeah I think this is
◼
►
one of the things that fixing soon but
◼
►
yeah it like because if it starts like
◼
►
getting confused as to who is who like
◼
►
out of the cow and the person and then
◼
►
like eventually it just falls in on
◼
►
oh also if you leave a blank space in
◼
►
your refrigerator you won't be able to
◼
►
say crash at night every time yeah I've
◼
►
heard about that yeah every time you
◼
►
cook anything go back to their fridge
◼
►
make sure there's no gaps otherwise it
◼
►
will crash at night it's not it's not
◼
►
it's not I I saw in the wiki I was
◼
►
looking up information for my horse and
◼
►
whether I had to feed him or not and
◼
►
that it said there's a funny bug at the
◼
►
horse where if you park the horse in the
◼
►
and you can buy ice cream anytime
◼
►
someone is here working you must be able
◼
►
to buy a that's literally the book so
◼
►
like this is in the winter is that you
◼
►
can buy ice cream if the host is that I
◼
►
haven't actually tried yet but I'm gonna
◼
►
try that's amazing it counts as a person
◼
►
being there unlimited ice cream exactly
◼
►
man I'm just enjoying this game so much
◼
►
I'm so glad that we talked about all
◼
►
these crazy townspeople because Marco
◼
►
and I it's like our stories now we're
◼
►
like whoa what's the mayor up to like he
◼
►
just asked me for some truffle oil and
◼
►
was mentioning the slickness of it and
◼
►
we're like whoa no it was crazy it was
◼
►
like the this asked me for the truffle
◼
►
oil and it's and he says he won't tell
◼
►
you why he won't tell you what it's
◼
►
worth I don't like if anyone else asked
◼
►
for truffle oil and just you would
◼
►
assume okay it's for you know putting on
◼
►
things to make them taste slightly
◼
►
better you if they say and I'm not gonna
◼
►
tell you why that immediately makes it
◼
►
incredibly suspicious and creepy oh yeah
◼
►
the mayor's got something going on you
◼
►
should all sleep through his house it's
◼
►
amazing TIFF has gone through a whole
◼
►
town yeah you you've really done some
◼
►
investigation like my plan was I'm gonna
◼
►
start like really investigating after I
◼
►
get married right like that's what I'm
◼
►
gonna try and build more friendships and
◼
►
stuff like that because I feel like the
◼
►
marriage thing is like my next goal in
◼
►
the game in a way like this game is
◼
►
pretty loose with I mean there is story
◼
►
there's stuff going on right I mean
◼
►
there are things that I can see that
◼
►
gonna happen that I haven't gone to yet
◼
►
but if it feels very much like in that
◼
►
idea of like build your own game and I
◼
►
just decided for sure say like
◼
►
speedrunning my relationship and then
◼
►
once I got to the marriage staged and
◼
►
I'm gonna maybe make some friends well
◼
►
that's that the problem with that so
◼
►
this is the problem I'm facing now is
◼
►
like so I got married and so now I've
◼
►
kind of immediately lost interest in
◼
►
going around giving everybody gifts all
◼
►
the time like mmm it maybe it's cuz it's
◼
►
like it's it's somewhere in fall so I've
◼
►
been very busy on the farm just
◼
►
harvesting all my awesome automatic
◼
►
automatically water crops
◼
►
but like you know it also kind of feels
◼
►
like a little bit like should I keep
◼
►
giving gifts to like all the single
◼
►
women after I'm married it feels a
◼
►
little bit wrong you know like as long
◼
►
as you don't give them a bouquet I think
◼
►
technically yes but it just feels
◼
►
awkward like in real life I would
◼
►
probably not keep doing that yeah real
◼
►
life I don't let him talk to anybody go
◼
►
hang out with your bikes so I want to
◼
►
know Alex do you have a different farm
◼
►
layout than the standard one because see
◼
►
I didn't have much farming to do because
◼
►
I had the forest farm so I don't have a
◼
►
ton of farmland so I had a lot of time
◼
►
to snoop in everyone's dressers so I was
◼
►
out relationship inquiry no I did it
◼
►
mostly because I wanted to see what the
◼
►
mechanics were like on the switch and I
◼
►
have to say this port is absolutely
◼
►
amazing I'm so impressed at how it's
◼
►
gone to other platforms with the one
◼
►
caveat that saves take like ten times
◼
►
it's it it's kind of I I don't know
◼
►
people like oh you should enjoy it I'm
◼
►
like no I want to get to the next day I
◼
►
want to water my crops ah to browse
◼
►
Instagram yeah I use it as my Twitter
◼
►
break yeah but that has kind of sort of
◼
►
made me get into making to-do lists more
◼
►
like I do I keep a notebook next I'm on
◼
►
the verge of making an OmniFocus project
◼
►
and because I don't do that and there's
◼
►
so much lemming I remember tomorrow go
◼
►
try to get the slime hutch built but
◼
►
first I got to make sure the space is
◼
►
cleared like there's not like everything
◼
►
like there's and then it's Wednesday and
◼
►
then it's wet all the stores closed and
◼
►
then oh I had to buy a calendar for my
◼
►
house to just give me some idea and
◼
►
exercise class the Carpenters not there
◼
►
every every every season I screw up
◼
►
every season I think I'm getting a head
◼
►
start on myself but like I know what
◼
►
like I was I will like like 10 to the
◼
►
ground and I'll get the fertilizer ready
◼
►
and the season changes and it all
◼
►
disappears I've done this three times
◼
►
why I keep thinking that is good oh it's
◼
►
fine going into summer it won't happen
◼
►
summer no it happened again so I need to
◼
►
stop doing that so my my advice to you
◼
►
is stop using fertilizer oh really
◼
►
so I mean it depends like how many crops
◼
►
you have like so my farm right now is
◼
►
pretty big I I only will expand when I
◼
►
can afford a sprinkler so I'd never
◼
►
manually watering anything set the bug
◼
►
bowl marker the only thing you're really
◼
►
good at growing on your farm is money
◼
►
right now you guys you have so I'll have
◼
►
to send you a screenshot of my father
◼
►
guys I'm doing as much space as I can
◼
►
with like kegs and jelly jars and
◼
►
beehives oh and everything I don't know
◼
►
how he grew his farm so fast
◼
►
it's absolutely intra sounding it's a
◼
►
machine it's I just it's insane it's
◼
►
insane every single night he's raking in
◼
►
like you know 30 grand yeah Macha you
◼
►
have some like hacks that I need to know
◼
►
about what are you doing
◼
►
so I heard you mentioned I think was on
◼
►
remaster you mentioned somewhere
◼
►
recently that like you figured out like
◼
►
that you should rather than like trying
◼
►
to save up your money early you should
◼
►
just like spends it all on new seeds
◼
►
yeah timely so yeah so you know step
◼
►
number one is always have a lot of seeds
◼
►
around so that as soon as you harvest
◼
►
something you plant that seed right back
◼
►
in there so you never have any unused
◼
►
farmland that you that you could be
◼
►
using number two is get yourself out of
◼
►
the business of watering things
◼
►
immediately so like do whatever it takes
◼
►
to get enough resources to build at
◼
►
least the quality sprinkler I don't have
◼
►
any iridium sprinkler because I don't
◼
►
have a good Iridium supply coming in yet
◼
►
but the quality like I know the ones
◼
►
that just do little tea patterns those
◼
►
suck like don't even bother with those
◼
►
because what happens when you grow the
◼
►
farm large enough the limiting factor
◼
►
starts to become your time in both
◼
►
planting and harvesting so when you have
◼
►
those little dumb tea sprinklers you
◼
►
have to make these weird awkward
◼
►
patterns to optimize their space as you
◼
►
as you mentioned but then they become
◼
►
much harder to walk through they become
◼
►
hoe the ground because you'd be more
◼
►
careful but what spots your hoeing and
◼
►
which ones you're not it just adds a lot
◼
►
more time so what you need to do is do
◼
►
whatever it takes you know spend a lot
◼
►
of time in the mines whatever it takes
◼
►
to get enough is it iron and copper to
◼
►
build the quality sprinklers the ones
◼
►
that just water the the whole eight
◼
►
squares around them and then you just
◼
►
make lines of those and then when you
◼
►
have that's kind of setup you can do
◼
►
things in bulk so one little trick you
◼
►
can harvest continuously by just holding
◼
►
down the harvest button and just walking
◼
►
through the field and so optimize things
◼
►
for being able to do things in large
◼
►
strips like that so like plant the same
◼
►
thing for like a huge strip or anything
◼
►
that's harvested with the sky plant a
◼
►
lot of those because those are really
◼
►
fast to harvest obviously favor crops
◼
►
that reach that regenerate so you don't
◼
►
to replant them every time certain crops
◼
►
are worth more than others if you get
◼
►
into the business of having like the
◼
►
kegs and the jelly jars those basically
◼
►
multiply the price of whatever you put
◼
►
in them so grow expensive things and put
◼
►
them in those jars and then that you get
◼
►
like a bottle of star fruit wine sells
◼
►
for $3,000 like it's incredible and the
◼
►
star fruit seed is it's like 400 bucks
◼
►
but hey if you're getting three thousand
◼
►
dollars after a while it's worth it
◼
►
right so anyway you just optimize things
◼
►
for like growing in bulk and then you
◼
►
will have an infinite supply of money
◼
►
yeah kegs and jaws is a world that I
◼
►
haven't even aware existed I just
◼
►
started doing that like after my first
◼
►
winter and and listen now I have like
◼
►
these boxes on my farm I'm just like
◼
►
most of the things I grow now I don't
◼
►
even sell I I see them in boxes and just
◼
►
fill up my giant row of cakes but anyway
◼
►
the reason I said stop using fertilizer
◼
►
is once you have you know because right
◼
►
now I think my total farmland is
◼
►
something like 200 squares of Oh
◼
►
sprinkler plant I just unlocked the
◼
►
greenhouse so I'm gonna have more and a
◼
►
so I've roughly took his like like I
◼
►
added up one time to like how many seats
◼
►
we have to buy on day one of the season
◼
►
and it was it was like 160 then and I've
◼
►
added a little bit more we basically
◼
►
stopped watching TV and all we do is
◼
►
yeah I have some more I need to spend a
◼
►
lot more time in Saudi Valley I mean I
◼
►
will say Mario kind of put a big dent
◼
►
who needs a sorry Valley time
◼
►
I will just tell you right now you need
◼
►
Mario no no sorry Valley or do study
◼
►
Valley is of course incredible Super
◼
►
Mario Odyssey is just super Mario
◼
►
Odyssey you'd be surprised at Beach I
◼
►
keep being tempted cuz you see like your
◼
►
friends come online and they're like up
◼
►
Odyssey Odyssey and I'm like oh no but I
◼
►
gotta get those batteries Oh
◼
►
must get baru I feel like you're
◼
►
starting like a collection oh yeah look
◼
►
at my beautiful there you want to end
◼
►
there uh yeah I think we should add some
◼
►
of the farm talk is like a little after
◼
►
show possibly yeah yeah oh so anyway so
◼
►
the reason you don't want you don't want
◼
►
fertilizer is because once you have so
◼
►
many farm spots your main limitation
◼
►
becomes time of like yourself just
◼
►
walking through harvesting stuff and
◼
►
planting stuff yeah and so not only do
◼
►
you not need fertilizer because you have
◼
►
so many spots that the amount that you
◼
►
grow that our premium matters less
◼
►
because you'll get gold star stuff
◼
►
anyway I'm just you won't get as much of
◼
►
it also the citroen habits of the most
◼
►
successful farmer also if you're putting
◼
►
everything in the jars to jam or pickle
◼
►
or wine them anyway it doesn't matter
◼
►
what stars they have also if you don't
◼
►
fertilize then your crops grow at the
◼
►
like I never got like the speed grow and
◼
►
stuff because it's like it could
◼
►
increase your crops by a random amount
◼
►
well if the crops are already at the
◼
►
same time they take less time to harvest
◼
►
so like you gotta optimize what these
◼
►
big offers for high-volume production
◼
►
that will save yourself the time we
◼
►
should do a cortex episode about this
◼
►
game I mean it's a I like dating around
◼
►
my horse carrying 50 wheat trying to
◼
►
figure out where to put it
◼
►
yeah I'm just gonna walk around town get
◼
►
200 berries and if the top four signal
◼
►
was not shined in the air I would have
◼
►
the marker roof just trying to build the
◼
►
best farm possible like that that was
◼
►
what I was doing anyway like I always
◼
►
figured like though the relationship
◼
►
stuff will come I want to make all the
◼
►
possible money first yeah like that was
◼
►
kind of where I was going so I will I
◼
►
will I think I'm close to marriage with
◼
►
penny I have one more heart before its
◼
►
maximum hearts and I'm assuming maximal
◼
►
and hearts is where where the money is
◼
►
yeah that that is when it becomes
◼
►
possible to marry her all right then I'm
◼
►
gonna then I'm gonna try and build out
◼
►
my farm to be bigger and better which
◼
►
means a lot more mine and time
◼
►
gotta get those resources but it's
◼
►
coming up to winter you see I think I I
◼
►
was I was better off because I had I
◼
►
reached the end of the of the main mine
◼
►
pretty early on like I it was like by
◼
►
like my first fall I hit bottom yeah I
◼
►
did it my first winter yeah and so like
◼
►
because because I did that early wait if
◼
►
so TIF is still working on her she's
◼
►
almost at the bottom but not yet like
◼
►
because she's been spending all the time
◼
►
he's know everybody I have nobody and
◼
►
I'm doing some serious quest that I fell
◼
►
into is anyone else doing that weird
◼
►
quest the mr. Chi one yeah yeah I
◼
►
haven't I haven't seen that myself Alex
◼
►
you played this a couple of times yeah I
◼
►
came across at one time and never
◼
►
finished it right now I'm working on
◼
►
getting the mayor's shorts back which is
◼
►
one of my favorite little quests oh yeah
◼
►
you're gonna find out so much about the
◼
►
mayor okay yep it's so tough like a year
◼
►
to find his shorts every times like I
◼
►
still haven't found the mayor's damn
◼
►
shorts also cheese challenge which is to
◼
►
get to level 25 in the thing right is
◼
►
that what the cheese challenge is no I
◼
►
did that that seems really hard so what
◼
►
you had you have to first of all you
◼
►
gotta obviously bring a lot of food and
◼
►
a lot of and you know bring some bombs
◼
►
or some staircases maybe I haven't I
◼
►
haven't bought a staircase yet but I
◼
►
hear that will help but what you really
◼
►
have to do is you have to check the
◼
►
fortune teller show on TV and only go to
◼
►
the mines on days where it says you have
◼
►
really good luck that's what that means
◼
►
because that will that I think that that
◼
►
that determines not not only what kind
◼
►
of minerals you get but that determines
◼
►
how often staircases come up mm-hmm
◼
►
so that like set yourself up to succeed
◼
►
all right so I'm only gonna go inside no
◼
►
I didn't know what that fortune tellers
◼
►
show was fool I could see in US I kinda
◼
►
figured it was some to do crops related
◼
►
the whole first year I didn't I was like
◼
►
what is this for I just need
◼
►
watch it but there's like everyday
◼
►
there's like a global luck value
◼
►
basically and that affects fishing
◼
►
mining anything we're like oh you might
◼
►
get something good like this game yeah
◼
►
yeah so like in so if it says like oh
◼
►
you know the fortunes are bad are mad
◼
►
today you're gonna have bad luck
◼
►
don't even bother going to the mind and
◼
►
you probably shouldn't even be fishing
◼
►
like it's because you're gonna just
◼
►
waste time and not and waste your stuff
◼
►
if you have really good luck and it's
◼
►
also some some of the foods that you can
◼
►
make will increase your luck make those
◼
►
and bring those when you go mining and
◼
►
and then you'll get like more staircases
◼
►
that appear and you know maybe more
◼
►
minerals that appear and stuff like that
◼
►
interesting that explains what I like
◼
►
sometimes like I've been like just
◼
►
mining for resources and I can see a
◼
►
staircase and then I'm mining and
◼
►
another staircase appears and I'm like
◼
►
why is this happening yeah it's a luck
◼
►
factor right there's just more
◼
►
staircases you can hit it's kind of nice
◼
►
though because the bad fortune days I
◼
►
kind of essentially take is like my
◼
►
dating days because that doesn't affect
◼
►
the cutscene I make the wall my fortune
◼
►
what a game what a great game so good I
◼
►
mean this this to me like you know

because I'm I'm not really much of a
◼
►
gamer for most of the time but
◼
►
occasionally I will get super into a
◼
►
game and so in the past that's been like
◼
►
SimCity 2000 you know things like you
◼
►
know building games like that
◼
►
occasionally like an RTS might get me
◼
►
but not enough for a long time usually
◼
►
it's been building games like like and
◼
►
to me I would say this is a great
◼
►
candidate to be like the current
◼
►
generations SimCity 2000 like it is that
◼
►
it is that good where it's it's a
◼
►
building kind of game it's it's very
◼
►
uplifting it's like it's it's precious
◼
►
it is you know in a good way it's it's
◼
►
adorable it's charming it is also very
◼
►
it's very light-hearted it doesn't have
◼
►
any of the like annoying exploitive
◼
►
mechanics of modern like iOS games and
◼
►
even some console games it's just nice
◼
►
like when like when we were trying to
◼
►
explain this game - it's a Tiff's father
◼
►
recently and you know he's he's used to
◼
►
he plays you know he plays the same
◼
►
games that everyone else plays in the
◼
►
iPad like clash of clans stuff like that
◼
►
and like when you explain when you
◼
►
mention that you're playing like a
◼
►
farming game to somebody from most of
◼
►
the world they assume it's gonna be more
◼
►
like farmville which is very like you
◼
►
know exploitive like oh you better come
◼
►
back at 2 a.m. or you're gonna lose your
◼
►
farm or like stuff like that and this
◼
►
game has none of that crap it has like
◼
►
nothing based on real time and you know
◼
►
you don't have to come check the game in
◼
►
every real life day like you can just
◼
►
stop playing and your world pauses when
◼
►
you have time you can go play it again
◼
►
just as little to do as you want yeah
◼
►
like like the whole like the whole first
◼
►
like few days I was playing it you know
◼
►
I knew nothing about the game I was just
◼
►
playing a blonde and I kept thinking
◼
►
like alright what what's gonna come out
◼
►
and just kill me like what like what
◼
►
what random thing that I didn't know
◼
►
about is gonna come just kill me and
◼
►
then we call and teach me a lesson you
◼
►
know and this game just doesn't have
◼
►
that like it's just a nice game it's low
◼
►
it's low stress you're not constantly
◼
►
like worrying about some random thing
◼
►
that's gonna come out and kill you like
◼
►
it's or some like oh god what horrible
◼
►
things gonna happen if I forget about X
◼
►
Y or Z if I forget to do this thing and
◼
►
yeah the answer is nothing bad really
◼
►
happens like it's just a nice game and
◼
►
yet it's still despite having nothing
◼
►
bad really happening it still manages to
◼
►
be good and fun and challenging and
◼
►
rewarding and it's and and I keep going
◼
►
back like I can't believe one person
◼
►
made this game like it's such a marvel
◼
►
and when you see like the more you play
◼
►
it the more impressive that gets because
◼
►
you see like oh my god this whole world
◼
►
like the world is huge all of the art
◼
►
just the art alone the fact that the art
◼
►
was done by one person even if that same
◼
►
person didn't do anything else that
◼
►
alone would be impressive because
◼
►
there's so much of it everything has
◼
►
different seasonal you know drawings and
◼
►
different lighting conditions and some
◼
►
stuff looks different in the rain it's
◼
►
just it's crazy like how many variations
◼
►
of everything there are a little alone
◼
►
how many objects there are in the game
◼
►
at all like it's it's a huge game and
◼
►
it's just so impressive on so many
◼
►
levels and the fact that was all done by
◼
►
one person just blows my mind he's
◼
►
working on a sequel now and it's it's
◼
►
going to be set in the
◼
►
like stardew valley universe but it's
◼
►
probably like the the hints are that
◼
►
it's going to be an RPG
◼
►
sim but set in a like a Hogwarts magic
◼
►
school setting and I'm like oh man I'm
◼
►
so excited to like make my potions
◼
►
explore all the crazy dungeons it's it's
◼
►
gonna be really really cool is is that
◼
►
the the magic school one is that the one
◼
►
that he's doing or is that the one that
◼
►
chuckle fish are doing because I'm
◼
►
getting I was getting a bit confused
◼
►
because I was reading through an AMA
◼
►
that the guy did the charcoal fish is
◼
►
the publisher now right like they
◼
►
handled the porting and stuff because
◼
►
the guy doesn't work on society valley
◼
►
anymore does he he's done and he's
◼
►
working on this new thing but I couldn't
◼
►
work out whether the Hogwarts magic
◼
►
school one was his game or their game
◼
►
well he he is chuckle fish or okay was
◼
►
like part of chuckle fish from the
◼
►
beginning so like yeah they have the
◼
►
thing is they have a bunch of games that
◼
►
aren't I mean they're fine I guess but
◼
►
he's what's called like a partnered game
◼
►
so I guess it's kind of like like
◼
►
capybara how all of their games even the
◼
►
ones who are like that are developed by
◼
►
one person it's still kind of I'm not
◼
►
really sure but I he is going to be the
◼
►
sole developer on that one but now he
◼
►
has money so he can do like whatever he
◼
►
include like if you think how good a
◼
►
little stuff is that he's done like with
◼
►
more money you could have even better
◼
►
music and you know that sort of stuff
◼
►
yeah it's very exciting well that kind
◼
►
of that might ruin it though like
◼
►
because like he did so well with just
◼
►
himself and like yeah like it was in his
◼
►
parents basement for four years making
◼
►
this game how long yeah boy yeah like it
◼
►
might there might be a George Lucas
◼
►
effect to worry about here like that
◼
►
like now that he has tons of money what
◼
►
will he do yeah I worry about like
◼
►
yeah like because this was such a
◼
►
masterpiece like I I everything's in
◼
►
perfect balance oh good oh good well
