◼   ► 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

◼   ► 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

◼   ► the town

◼   ► 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

◼   ► game

◼   ► 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

◼   ► who he is

◼   ► 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

◼   ► game have red hair

◼   ► 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

◼   ► musician manchild

◼   ► 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

◼   ► the bachelorettes

◼   ► 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

◼   ► that's it

◼   ► 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

◼   ► the game really

◼   ► 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

◼   ► friends

◼   ► 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

◼   ► many relationship

◼   ► 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

◼   ► 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

◼   ► [Laughter]

◼   ► 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

◼   ► into the show

◼   ► 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

◼   ► adventuring but

◼   ► 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

◼   ► it's just three days

◼   ► 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

◼   ► 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

◼   ► clear for Leah

◼   ► number three Harvey number two Abigail

◼   ► and number one Maru

◼   ► 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

◼   ► I got with Emily

◼   ► 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

◼   ► could help her

◼   ► so that

◼   ► 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

◼   ► on a bench

◼   ► 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

◼   ► doesn't

◼   ► 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

◼   ► help too

◼   ► 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

◼   ► number one

◼   ► 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

◼   ► think I do too

◼   ► oh yeah I'm right now making my way to

◼   ► the location

◼   ► 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

◼   ► close this one out

◼   ► 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

◼   ► weird yeah exactly

◼   ► I mean some people are into that I guess

◼   ► but anyway everyone I guess number five

◼   ► I

◼   ► 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

◼   ► could never find her

◼   ► 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

◼   ► like not doing her

◼   ► 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

◼   ► not

◼   ► 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

◼   ► like a good idea

◼   ► 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

◼   ► congratulations

◼   ► 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

◼   ► when they're closed

◼   ► 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 marília 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

◼   ► wife anyway for hugs

◼   ► 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

◼   ► in the town

◼   ► 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

◼   ► be terrible

◼   ► 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

◼   ► phone

◼   ► 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

◼   ► 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

◼   ► 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

◼   ► are a drunks a vapor

◼   ► 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

◼   ► person

◼   ► 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

◼   ► that

◼   ► 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

◼   ► cat

◼   ► 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

◼   ► cat Jeeves

◼   ► 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

◼   ► Mike

◼   ► 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

◼   ► [Laughter]

◼   ► 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

◼   ► better

◼   ► 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

◼   ► really into the show

◼   ► Wynonna Erb if if people like really

◼   ► campy sci-fi shows I recommend it

◼   ► because I'm like an adventurer in this

◼   ► game that's perfect

◼   ► 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

◼   ► also a Fanny Schrute

◼   ► 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 I choose a word

◼   ► that I choose a word

◼   ► 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

◼   ► [Laughter]

◼   ► 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

◼   ► itself

◼   ► 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

◼   ► ice

◼   ► 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

◼   ► you're okay right

◼   ► 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

◼   ► much harder to

◼   ► 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

◼   ► little bow

◼   ► 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

◼   ► play this game yeah

◼   ► 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

◼   ► same rate

◼   ► 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

◼   ► been too

◼   ► 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

◼   ► fun

◼   ► 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

◼   ► games on the iPad

◼   ► 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

◼   ► no in-app purchases

◼   ► 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
