00:05:12 ◼   ► fashion designer barmaid we have for the

00:05:19 ◼   ► bachelorettes there's a better selection

00:05:21 ◼   ► of people they don't have as much

00:05:24 ◼   ► extreme quirks but yet they have their

00:05:26 ◼   ► own personalities so as someone who is

00:05:29 ◼   ► pursuing a man in the game I'm really

00:05:31 ◼   ► very disappointed okay

00:05:34 ◼   ► there's so many better women to pick

00:05:36 ◼   ► from there really is I don't know how do

00:05:37 ◼   ► you guys feel okay so I mostly don't

00:05:40 ◼   ► interact with very many people in this

00:05:42 ◼   ► game in general just because I really

00:05:46 ◼   ► was focused I'm like halfway through my

00:05:48 ◼   ► second year my first year was completely

00:05:51 ◼   ► focused on building the most optimal

00:05:53 ◼   ► growing situation possible and they're

00:05:56 ◼   ► mining for the entire winter yep I

00:05:58 ◼   ► didn't speak to somebody for the entire

00:06:00 ◼   ► winter I was mining the whole time so my

00:06:05 ◼   ► relationships with the individuals in

00:06:07 ◼   ► study valley is is not high in the

00:06:09 ◼   ► aggregate and it's mostly because I

00:06:11 ◼   ► actually find most of the male

00:06:13 ◼   ► characters to kind of be annoying or

00:06:15 ◼   ► boring yes yeah the reason I'm saying

00:06:20 ◼   ► this is because I want you to note if

00:06:22 ◼   ► that like I can simplify of where you're

00:06:24 ◼   ► coming from because I mostly stay away

00:06:27 ◼   ► from the guys because I'm kind of not

00:06:29 ◼   ► really interested in them well half of

00:06:31 ◼   ► them tell you to go away like the first

00:06:33 ◼   ► interaction you have with them they tell

00:06:35 ◼   ► you to like get out of my face go away

00:06:36 ◼   ► or they're too busy with like whatever

00:06:38 ◼   ► they're doing the only guy that I have

00:06:39 ◼   ► any interest in is line

00:06:41 ◼   ► because I want to know he's all about

00:06:43 ◼   ► right and and he's the homeless man who

00:06:46 ◼   ► lives in a tent and yeah he seems to be

00:06:50 ◼   ► the nicest one but you can't date him

00:06:51 ◼   ► not allowed it's a shame and Louis the

00:06:54 ◼   ► mayor as well he's kind of cool but

00:06:55 ◼   ► that's it

00:06:56 ◼   ► Oh Louis has got a thing going on with

00:06:58 ◼   ► someone else in town it's it's funny how

00:07:06 ◼   ► like the like as you like the first year

00:07:09 ◼   ► in game time that I play it through I

00:07:11 ◼   ► got to know almost nobody and it was it

00:07:13 ◼   ► was only like in like the winter that I

00:07:15 ◼   ► started you know TIF is very social with

00:07:17 ◼   ► everybody tips going around spending

00:07:18 ◼   ► like two-thirds of every game day like

00:07:21 ◼   ► keeping everybody like fruit and stuff

00:07:23 ◼   ► and she knows it everyone likes when

00:07:24 ◼   ► everyone hates and I'm just like meh I

00:07:25 ◼   ► don't like I don't know how you have

00:07:27 ◼   ► time for that well they all end up

00:07:28 ◼   ► developing so much depth let me tell you

00:07:30 ◼   ► like as you bust into their little

00:07:32 ◼   ► shells like you start caring about these

00:07:34 ◼   ► little digital people and they have like

00:07:36 ◼   ► ups and downs and little past like

00:07:38 ◼   ► background stories and ever someone's

00:07:41 ◼   ► like hot and on someone else and this

00:07:43 ◼   ► person sleeping yeah oh it's that's deep

00:07:46 ◼   ► because like if you pay attention you

00:07:48 ◼   ► can kind of see like oh you know like

00:07:50 ◼   ► these people are always kind of standing

00:07:52 ◼   ► together even though they're both

00:07:53 ◼   ► technically single as far as the game

00:07:55 ◼   ► concerns like they seem to be into each

00:07:57 ◼   ► other you know like they're and there's

00:07:58 ◼   ► and there's certain ones that make it

00:07:59 ◼   ► apparent to you that they are like the

00:08:01 ◼   ► whole situation between my blacksmith

00:08:03 ◼   ► and my crazy blue girlfriend that that

00:08:06 ◼   ► went that went oh macha but but yeah

00:08:14 ◼   ► like it is it is tricky though like this

00:08:17 ◼   ► game has you know like like the rest of

00:08:19 ◼   ► the game really

00:08:20 ◼   ► it has a surprising amount of depth in

00:08:22 ◼   ► the characters and in the writing and

00:08:24 ◼   ► and their storylines and everything and

00:08:25 ◼   ► when you first interact with everybody

00:08:27 ◼   ► you do feel like it's pretty shallow

00:08:29 ◼   ► like okay this person is a drunk this

00:08:31 ◼   ► person hangs out here this person likes

00:08:32 ◼   ► animals you know this person hates

00:08:34 ◼   ► everything I give them but like for the

00:08:36 ◼   ► most part almost all these characters do

00:08:38 ◼   ► develop a lot of depth if you give them

00:08:40 ◼   ► time it takes a long time for that for

00:08:42 ◼   ► you to like build up your little

00:08:43 ◼   ► friendship heart level for remember

00:08:46 ◼   ► these people to like see their various

00:08:47 ◼   ► cutscenes and to have them tell you a

00:08:50 ◼   ► little bit more about themselves and

00:08:52 ◼   ► have like the little conversation with

00:08:53 ◼   ► them it all takes time

00:08:54 ◼   ► and because the way the game is designed

00:08:57 ◼   ► and because of how much time it takes

00:08:59 ◼   ► like you're only really getting to know

00:09:01 ◼   ► a handful of people in town very well

00:09:03 ◼   ► for most playthroughs I think like I

00:09:05 ◼   ► actually have some interest in starting

00:09:08 ◼   ► over in the game at some point in the

00:09:09 ◼   ► future and just getting to know

00:09:11 ◼   ► different people maybe joining up with

00:09:13 ◼   ► Joe Joe instead of doing the community

00:09:14 ◼   ► center or stuff like that like like like

00:09:21 ◼   ► there's so much in this game and

00:09:23 ◼   ► whenever you like make a choice like you

00:09:25 ◼   ► like you you know Joyner John join Joe

00:09:27 ◼   ► Joe and I'm like later on like you you

00:09:28 ◼   ► know the people you talk to them like

00:09:30 ◼   ► you marry somebody even just like the

00:09:31 ◼   ► kind of farm you live on like there's so

00:09:34 ◼   ► many so many like choices that become

00:09:36 ◼   ► permanent choices in the game where

00:09:38 ◼   ► there's so much to this game that I feel

00:09:41 ◼   ► like I'm only seeing like 20 percent of

00:09:42 ◼   ► it playing through the way I'm playing

00:09:43 ◼   ► you just don't want fruit bats anymore

00:09:45 ◼   ► because they're garbage

00:09:46 ◼   ► yeah through pets suck the mushroom

00:09:47 ◼   ► boxes are a way better they can play in

00:09:49 ◼   ► your cave can you imagine how this must

00:09:50 ◼   ► sound to people who are not playing

00:09:52 ◼   ► oh yes wild mushroom it was an easy

00:09:55 ◼   ► choice come on like you come for you

00:09:56 ◼   ► gets just free foraging I who goes with

00:09:59 ◼   ► the fruit bats I did yeah because

00:10:01 ◼   ► Tiffani with the mushrooms and she got

00:10:03 ◼   ► there before I did so I figured like you

00:10:05 ◼   ► know we're playing separate games so if

00:10:06 ◼   ► you're like the choices that she makes

00:10:08 ◼   ► I'll make different choices so then at

00:10:10 ◼   ► least because we watch each other play a

00:10:11 ◼   ► lot so at least then I'll see different

00:10:13 ◼   ► things that happen in the game but yeah

00:10:15 ◼   ► fruit bats were there slackers they

00:10:17 ◼   ► hardly ever have anything in their eye

00:10:18 ◼   ► so I'm interested then this is is this

00:10:21 ◼   ► everyone else's first playthrough like

00:10:24 ◼   ► their first farm yep oh all right do we

00:10:28 ◼   ► have an experienced player amongst us uh

00:10:30 ◼   ► well actually I've always been like a

00:10:33 ◼   ► farm slacker I'm exactly the opposite I

00:10:35 ◼   ► went straight for the relationships and

00:10:37 ◼   ► I think it's because I've always enjoyed

00:10:40 ◼   ► Animal Crossing more than games like The

00:10:43 ◼   ► Sims or civilization and like I love

00:10:45 ◼   ► resource management games but this is

00:10:48 ◼   ► great because you kind of have to

00:10:50 ◼   ► resource manage your relationships which

00:10:52 ◼   ► I can't do in real life and this is

00:10:54 ◼   ► great there's literally a guide online

00:10:56 ◼   ► to tell you how to date and romance

00:10:58 ◼   ► these people it is perfect one of the

00:11:04 ◼   ► things I love most about this I have a

00:11:05 ◼   ► guy directly to your heart

00:11:08 ◼   ► like one of the things I love most about

00:11:10 ◼   ► this game is that it was developed

00:11:12 ◼   ► entirely by one person like one young

00:11:14 ◼   ► made this game he made all of the art he

00:11:17 ◼   ► composed the music all like all the

00:11:20 ◼   ► programming all the sound effects like

00:11:21 ◼   ► that's an incredible feat and there's so

00:11:23 ◼   ► much and the art is excellent the music

00:11:26 ◼   ► is fantastic like that he wrote of a

00:11:28 ◼   ► dialogue it's pretty decent

00:11:30 ◼   ► the gameplay is great like for one

00:11:33 ◼   ► person to do all this let alone to do to

00:11:35 ◼   ► do all these things incredibly well is

00:11:36 ◼   ► really impressive but I do have a little

00:11:40 ◼   ► bit of concern about how he views

00:11:41 ◼   ► relationships like it seems it seems

00:11:45 ◼   ► like you know like I'm not entirely sure

00:11:47 ◼   ► like you're supposed to make friends by

00:11:50 ◼   ► like giving them mayonnaise every day

00:11:52 ◼   ► well apparently that's how you make

00:11:54 ◼   ► friends

00:11:56 ◼   ► the rest of us have conversations and

00:11:59 ◼   ► talk to people I do that too but if you

00:12:00 ◼   ► don't give them the mayonnaise than the

00:12:02 ◼   ► NiO you don't really level up with the

00:12:03 ◼   ► hearts I mean it's just like anyone

00:12:05 ◼   ► though if you give them lots of presents

00:12:07 ◼   ► they're gonna like you more like

00:12:11 ◼   ► conversations the slow road the other

00:12:13 ◼   ► problem I have with with some of the

00:12:15 ◼   ► with all the singles really is that it's

00:12:18 ◼   ► kind of hard to tell like what age we're

00:12:21 ◼   ► supposed to be yeah some of them are

00:12:24 ◼   ► very childlike yet we're like you know

00:12:26 ◼   ► like and some of them still live with

00:12:27 ◼   ► their parents in town who are different

00:12:28 ◼   ► characters in town some of them live by

00:12:30 ◼   ► themselves you know some of them are

00:12:31 ◼   ► like seemingly more independent some of

00:12:33 ◼   ► them have fights with their parents as

00:12:35 ◼   ► if they were teenagers some of them are

00:12:38 ◼   ► you know totally independent adults like

00:12:40 ◼   ► it's very Leah had an ex that had called

00:12:43 ◼   ► her on the phone yeah yeah yeah and I

00:12:46 ◼   ► have to say in my game because I'm

00:12:48 ◼   ► playing as a woman she referred to her

00:12:50 ◼   ► ex as a she so I thought that was pretty

00:12:52 ◼   ► nice resting mm-hmm I don't know if she

00:12:55 ◼   ► did that with everybody or if change is

00:12:59 ◼   ► related to who you're playing as because

00:13:01 ◼   ► I don't see everyone is into me not not

00:13:04 ◼   ► everyone's into me now I'm not trying to

00:13:06 ◼   ► be complaining here Alex and Haley

00:13:09 ◼   ► alright cuz they're the conceited one

00:13:11 ◼   ► but I must say I'm pretty popular I'm I

00:13:14 ◼   ► handed out a lot of bouquets because I

00:13:16 ◼   ► don't know what to do but oh wow how

00:13:20 ◼   ► many relationship

00:16:37 ◼   ► kind of like become a goal for me not

00:16:39 ◼   ► not in this game children because I

00:16:49 ◼   ► think you like you let returning to the

00:16:56 ◼   ► really yeah you can indeed return them I

00:16:59 ◼   ► don't know if you can if you have

00:17:00 ◼   ► biological children but if you have a

00:17:02 ◼   ► queer relationship I believe they just

00:17:04 ◼   ► can like disappear and then you get the

00:17:06 ◼   ► resources resources alright so how do

00:17:17 ◼   ► you want to play it outs do you want to

00:17:18 ◼   ► say who you buy for the most recent game

00:17:20 ◼   ► or just jet your general opinions of the

00:17:22 ◼   ► sum total of all your games um you know

00:17:25 ◼   ► what how about I start with four down

00:17:27 ◼   ► and I've romanced all of these people

00:17:30 ◼   ► but the first person I ever romanced was

00:17:34 ◼   ► Leah because I felt like the first time

00:17:36 ◼   ► I played I kind of really got into the

00:17:38 ◼   ► character of like yeah I'm this loner

00:17:39 ◼   ► farmer this is a new thing for me and we

00:17:42 ◼   ► seemed to kind of the same rapport like

00:17:45 ◼   ► she doesn't really live quite in town

00:17:47 ◼   ► like everybody else and doesn't have a

00:17:48 ◼   ► of it when you start off doesn't have a

00:17:50 ◼   ► ton of interactions with other people

00:17:52 ◼   ► and then my next game I romanced Harvey

00:17:56 ◼   ► because he reminded me of myself because

00:17:58 ◼   ► he's always very anxious and standoffish

00:18:01 ◼   ► and he's me dude in the game that I

00:18:05 ◼   ► found appealing in anyway no surprise I

00:18:14 ◼   ► [Laughter]

00:18:19 ◼   ► mean we talked a bit about the ages in

00:18:23 ◼   ► the it's hard to get this until later on

00:18:26 ◼   ► in the game but in if you go in the wiki

00:18:28 ◼   ► it specifically says he's one of the

00:18:30 ◼   ► older bachelors so and you could really

00:18:32 ◼   ► tell because he's not a man-child and

00:18:34 ◼   ► he's not complaining about his parents

00:18:36 ◼   ► or just playing video games in the

00:18:38 ◼   ► basement I mean Sebastian literally

00:18:40 ◼   ► plays videogames in basement well but

00:18:42 ◼   ► anytime you get into Harvey's bedroom

00:18:44 ◼   ► he's in there like listening to his like

00:18:45 ◼   ► CB radios and he's like Harvey's busy

00:18:47 ◼   ► right now he can't talk to you he's so

00:18:50 ◼   ► preoccupied with his hobbies he was the

00:18:52 ◼   ► challenge just keeps telling me to cover

00:18:55 ◼   ► my mouth when I cough like it does seem

00:18:58 ◼   ► like different people are seemingly like

00:19:01 ◼   ► programmed to be easier or harder to

00:19:04 ◼   ► become friends with is that is that true

00:19:06 ◼   ► or does it just seem that way like do I

00:19:07 ◼   ► just guess wrong on what they like in my

00:19:10 ◼   ► opinion it is harder like I feel like

00:19:14 ◼   ► Harvey Harvey was kind of a challenge

00:19:16 ◼   ► but my next pick Abigail she's my number

00:19:20 ◼   ► two and still one of my favorite

00:19:21 ◼   ► characters like right now I'm not

00:19:23 ◼   ► currently pursuing her but she's like my

00:19:24 ◼   ► best friend in the game and she's kind

00:19:27 ◼   ► of like the I think it's because I'm

00:19:29 ◼   ► into the show

00:19:30 ◼   ► Wynonna up right now and like she's this

00:19:32 ◼   ► cool awesome adventurer and we talked

00:19:36 ◼   ► about the Mayans and she showed me her

00:19:39 ◼   ► secret sword which is not an issue for

00:19:42 ◼   ► anything and she's just cool I also

00:19:45 ◼   ► there's kind of like some coded language

00:19:46 ◼   ► of like the mom is concerned about her

00:19:50 ◼   ► alternative lifestyle and I was like

00:19:52 ◼   ► wait do you mean her like that we're

00:19:55 ◼   ► dating or that she's like way too into

00:19:58 ◼   ► adventuring but

00:20:00 ◼   ► I my white whale who I have never this I

00:20:04 ◼   ► think this is the this switch game this

00:20:06 ◼   ► is the one I'm pursuing Maru who is like

00:20:11 ◼   ► she is interested in science she built

00:20:14 ◼   ► robots she's the only one who

00:20:16 ◼   ► appreciates copper ores which are really

00:20:22 ◼   ► her father whose super protective he's

00:20:26 ◼   ► always like don't touch my baby like yes

00:20:28 ◼   ► right and Demetrius is quite right he's

00:20:34 ◼   ► quite protective but like I've so I

00:20:37 ◼   ► found out this you know what this could

00:20:39 ◼   ► just be in my mind I haven't looked this

00:20:41 ◼   ► up because I'm trying again

00:20:43 ◼   ► to like sort of step back and we like

00:20:46 ◼   ► Marco said it's just so deep and you can

00:20:49 ◼   ► get really deep in like the wiki's and

00:20:51 ◼   ► and the tutorial videos and stuff like

00:20:53 ◼   ► that but like maru's kind of like my

00:20:55 ◼   ► pure relationship like I found out how

00:20:57 ◼   ► much you liked batteries and I'm like oh

00:20:59 ◼   ► my god you are my actual soul mate oh

00:21:02 ◼   ► wow how do you feel about hdmi cables if

00:21:06 ◼   ► should be a question for you about

00:21:10 ◼   ► harvey though for just a sec just a very

00:21:13 ◼   ► white whale harvey seems to have a thing

00:21:16 ◼   ► for maru right there's like a thing

00:21:19 ◼   ► going on there and there's a couple

00:21:20 ◼   ► people who seem to have things for each

00:21:22 ◼   ► other like margot brought up earlier so

00:21:23 ◼   ► i was a little hesitant to break up

00:21:26 ◼   ► relationships like oh new farmer in town

00:21:28 ◼   ► here i come gonna break like be a

00:21:30 ◼   ► homewrecker right III feel a little bit

00:21:34 ◼   ► bad cuz he's always like oh wow do you

00:21:36 ◼   ► think marui noticed me or something and

00:21:38 ◼   ► I'm like I can't I can't I don't know I

00:21:41 ◼   ► don't know that's like I can't I think

00:21:43 ◼   ► that's why she's harder and that's why I

00:21:46 ◼   ► went with Leah initially because I I

00:21:49 ◼   ► felt like I was an outsider and I wanted

00:21:51 ◼   ► to bond with someone who was most like

00:21:54 ◼   ► my character but so far I am only in the

00:21:57 ◼   ► first year of my current game so I guess

00:22:00 ◼   ► if you were going to call this top for a

00:22:02 ◼   ► challenge I failed because I have not

00:22:04 ◼   ► yet we have not yet become engaged but I

00:22:08 ◼   ► think we're on the cusp of it I've got

00:22:10 ◼   ► all of the hearts I'm gonna get a

00:22:11 ◼   ► bouquet I think today might be the day

00:22:14 ◼   ► excited new phone new wife great so you

00:22:17 ◼   ► see you consider so you so you consider

00:22:24 ◼   ► the D bouquet and engagement not so much

00:22:27 ◼   ► as a hey let's go hang out

00:22:29 ◼   ► well there is an engagement period when

00:22:31 ◼   ► you give them the you know the pendant

00:22:33 ◼   ► it's just three days

00:22:34 ◼   ► yes I'm sorry yes the pendant not the

00:22:36 ◼   ► bouquet okay okay now do you see I sense

00:22:39 ◼   ► a thing between Leah and Elliot because

00:22:41 ◼   ► you know Elliot has a piece of Leah's

00:22:42 ◼   ► art in his in his cabin yes there are we

00:22:45 ◼   ► standing together yes tables and

00:22:47 ◼   ► everything I'd like the flower festival

00:22:48 ◼   ► there like next to each other and then

00:22:50 ◼   ► hanging out they kind of seem like the

00:22:52 ◼   ► two cabin people you know they're like

00:22:54 ◼   ► the mirrors of each other to live in

00:22:55 ◼   ► that cabin life again I was like ah

00:22:59 ◼   ► freaking like if there's any two people

00:23:02 ◼   ► in all of town that would have their own

00:23:03 ◼   ► little house full of cats it would be

00:23:05 ◼   ► those two probably I'm like ah you I'm

00:23:11 ◼   ► just like hang out and watch Netflix and

00:23:13 ◼   ► play whatever the start I wonder if

00:23:19 ◼   ► valley like like what do what what

00:23:22 ◼   ► sebastian playing in his basement is he

00:23:24 ◼   ► playing like the equivalent of pub G or

00:23:27 ◼   ► is he like in Demario Odyssey I don't

00:23:34 ◼   ► a little like running around shooting

00:23:35 ◼   ► things prairie game Barry King

00:24:10 ◼   ► I have to offer you is mayonnaise just

00:24:37 ◼   ► clear for Leah

00:24:39 ◼   ► number three Harvey number two Abigail

00:24:42 ◼   ► and number one Maru

00:24:44 ◼   ► there she is alright Mike pretty good

00:24:48 ◼   ► how are you doing and and and also I'm

00:24:52 ◼   ► curious like how far you've gotten but

00:24:54 ◼   ► you can lead up to that if you want

00:24:55 ◼   ► alright so I'm like halfway through year

00:24:58 ◼   ► two and I've only spent you two really

00:25:00 ◼   ► trying to get to know anybody with any

00:25:03 ◼   ► kind of intent for a relationship

00:25:05 ◼   ► so basically effectively when Marco and

00:25:10 ◼   ► TIFF asked me to do this a couple of

00:25:12 ◼   ► weeks ago like a week ago I've just put

00:25:14 ◼   ► all of my time into trying to get to a

00:25:16 ◼   ► relationship status for somebody and

00:25:19 ◼   ► there were maybe four people that I were

00:25:22 ◼   ► there were four people that I was like

00:25:24 ◼   ► thinking about and like starting to have

00:25:25 ◼   ► conversations with and like trying to

00:25:27 ◼   ► give gifts to and kind of see what the

00:25:29 ◼   ► vibe was and I've kind of ranked them in

00:25:33 ◼   ► the best way that I can so number four

00:25:36 ◼   ► is Emily I didn't really get very far

00:25:39 ◼   ► with Emily what I liked about Emily is

00:25:41 ◼   ► that she has blue hair and works in a

00:25:43 ◼   ► saloon so that's kind of a little I've

00:25:46 ◼   ► got which indicates potentially how far

00:25:51 ◼   ► I got with Emily

00:25:54 ◼   ► she seemed cool but also I was kind of

00:25:57 ◼   ► put off by the Clint situation right

00:26:02 ◼   ► when when he started mentioning that I

00:26:04 ◼   ► was like I'm gonna back I'm gonna back

00:26:06 ◼   ► away from this this I want to step on

00:26:08 ◼   ► any toes because this is the only like

00:26:10 ◼   ► in my in what I've been doing and what

00:26:13 ◼   ► I've been playing this is the only kind

00:26:15 ◼   ► of cold out potential relationship that

00:26:18 ◼   ► I've come across is is Emily in Clint so

00:26:20 ◼   ► I kind of left that off to the side then

00:26:23 ◼   ► I was also like really impressed by Maru

00:26:26 ◼   ► because she's super smart and techy

00:26:29 ◼   ► focused but my problem with Maru

00:26:32 ◼   ► I could never find her yeah I can't find

00:26:37 ◼   ► so if I'm trying to speed run this

00:26:39 ◼   ► relationship I could never find her so I

00:26:53 ◼   ► had to kind of I'm sorry tomorrow if I

00:26:55 ◼   ► if I can't find you you can't have my

00:26:56 ◼   ► love you know you can't have this

00:26:59 ◼   ► mayonnaise at least so then I was kind

00:27:03 ◼   ► of starting to build relationships with

00:27:06 ◼   ► Leah and Penny so they were the two

00:27:09 ◼   ► people that was saying to like out of

00:27:11 ◼   ► the four they were the last two Kenny's

00:27:13 ◼   ► a tough nut to crack that's yeah that's

00:27:15 ◼   ► impressive interesting okay penny is my

00:27:19 ◼   ► girlfriend we've got we've gotten that

00:27:23 ◼   ► far and there's a reason for this which

00:27:25 ◼   ► I'll come to because she's obviously my

00:27:27 ◼   ► number one I've destroyed top floor

00:27:28 ◼   ► style so I like Leah I really like Leigh

00:27:32 ◼   ► her a lot because she is independent and

00:27:35 ◼   ► she seems strong minded right like I've

00:27:37 ◼   ► I haven't seen many cutscenes but one of

00:27:39 ◼   ► the cutscenes I've seen is the time when

00:27:41 ◼   ► she's on the telephone right and I

00:27:43 ◼   ► really liked the way that she interacted

00:27:45 ◼   ► that and then how she speaks to you and

00:27:47 ◼   ► I like that she wants to put on an art

00:27:49 ◼   ► show and stuff like that like I like

00:27:51 ◼   ► that about her she's really cool and I

00:27:54 ◼   ► was kind of progressing with Leah and

00:27:55 ◼   ► penny at the same rate until I hit

00:27:58 ◼   ► Penny's cutscene when she's fighting

00:28:00 ◼   ► with her mum that one it hit me and

00:28:04 ◼   ► feels a little bit and I decided that I

00:28:08 ◼   ► needed to make Penny's life better right

00:28:09 ◼   ► cuz penny says something about like oh I

00:28:12 ◼   ► wish I lived in like a big house because

00:28:13 ◼   ► she lives in the trailer with her mom in

00:28:16 ◼   ► the town well she said to me I wish I

00:28:19 ◼   ► lived on a farm tee-hee-hee okay I see I

00:28:22 ◼   ► see what's going on here but yeah when

00:28:25 ◼   ► when I saw that like it it kind of made

00:28:27 ◼   ► me uncomfortable and sad right because

00:28:29 ◼   ► she's always talking about the fact that

00:28:30 ◼   ► her mum is a kind of a layabout and a

00:28:34 ◼   ► drunk right like this kind of what she's

00:28:36 ◼   ► getting to and I wanted to see if I

00:28:40 ◼   ► could help her

00:28:43 ◼   ► so that

00:28:44 ◼   ► kind of the route that I went down plus

00:28:45 ◼   ► I like penny because she has a cool job

00:28:48 ◼   ► in the town right she's a teacher

00:28:50 ◼   ► and she's also super easy to find so

00:28:56 ◼   ► that was great or she's under a tree or

00:29:00 ◼   ► on a bench

00:29:00 ◼   ► she has like three places and if she's

00:29:02 ◼   ► not in either of those three places then

00:29:03 ◼   ► I just go to sleep that day because I

00:29:05 ◼   ► can't find her anymore I've been going

00:29:08 ◼   ► to bed at like 11 o'clock in the morning

00:29:10 ◼   ► because this is my speed running does

00:29:12 ◼   ► she go to like the little fitness class

00:29:13 ◼   ► that's in the general store no she

00:29:16 ◼   ► doesn't

00:29:16 ◼   ► I always laugh whenever I come it's like

00:29:21 ◼   ► every time I've forgotten that they are

00:29:23 ◼   ► all in that back room with the weird

00:29:25 ◼   ► temple thing and then they're yeah

00:29:27 ◼   ► they're all just kind of dancing but

00:29:29 ◼   ► yeah so I'm watching with penny I have

00:29:32 ◼   ► given penny a bouquet she is my

00:29:34 ◼   ► girlfriend I have two hearts left to go

00:29:37 ◼   ► and I assume when I get to the top is

00:29:39 ◼   ► when is when we can get married so

00:29:41 ◼   ► that's the route that I'm going down and

00:29:43 ◼   ► Benny I want to help penny out I've

00:29:47 ◼   ► already gotten her mom her job back

00:29:50 ◼   ► that's good that I've reinstalled the

00:29:52 ◼   ► bus in the town cuz I think that would

00:29:54 ◼   ► help too

00:29:55 ◼   ► plus you know I figure you know gotta

00:29:57 ◼   ► get on the good side of the family if

00:29:58 ◼   ► I'm gonna eventually ask her to marry me

00:30:00 ◼   ► so how much better can it be than

00:30:02 ◼   ► getting a mama a job back so that's good

00:30:04 ◼   ► because now I can go out on the bus if I

00:30:06 ◼   ► want to but yeah penny penny is my

00:30:09 ◼   ► number one

00:30:10 ◼   ► can I ask you Mike have you reached a

00:30:14 ◼   ► certain cutscene that I guess I could

00:30:16 ◼   ► only describe as literally and

00:30:19 ◼   ► figuratively steamy no all right

00:30:24 ◼   ► you've uh you've got someone look

00:30:26 ◼   ► forward to like it would it be like

00:30:34 ◼   ► should Mike make sure that Adina is not

00:30:36 ◼   ► there like would that be weird if she

00:30:37 ◼   ► was she should be there to know if we

00:30:40 ◼   ► literally and figuratively steamy I

00:30:43 ◼   ► think I get the clue Alex okay okay I

00:30:49 ◼   ► think I do too

00:30:49 ◼   ► oh yeah I'm right now making my way to

00:30:54 ◼   ► the location

00:30:58 ◼   ► let's see let's see what if there's

00:31:00 ◼   ► anything awaiting me I have wondered

00:31:02 ◼   ► what that place was full Hey

00:31:06 ◼   ► so yeah my top floor again Emily Maru

00:31:09 ◼   ► Lia and Penny alright

00:31:13 ◼   ► TIFF want me to go next word you want to

00:31:14 ◼   ► know no I I want you to go I want to

00:31:16 ◼   ► close this one out

00:31:17 ◼   ► I do I have lots of day and I want

00:31:19 ◼   ► everyone to say stuff with me so yeah so

00:31:22 ◼   ► I had a bit of a tough time at the

00:31:24 ◼   ► beginning figuring out who to even

00:31:26 ◼   ► pursue because at first I was like oh

00:31:28 ◼   ► I'll go for robbing the carpenter

00:31:30 ◼   ► because it would be great to have a

00:31:31 ◼   ► carpenter as my wife like that would be

00:31:32 ◼   ► so useful on the farm but no then she's

00:31:34 ◼   ► married and in general like I find

00:31:38 ◼   ► myself in a lot of the cut scenes I find

00:31:41 ◼   ► it not so clear-cut whether I'm siding

00:31:43 ◼   ► with the parents or the single person a

00:31:47 ◼   ► lot of the cut scenes it's like kind of

00:31:48 ◼   ► awkward like I don't really want to be

00:31:50 ◼   ► involved in this discussion and also if

00:31:52 ◼   ► you are some kind of weird like adult

00:31:54 ◼   ► child your parent here is actually right

00:31:57 ◼   ► and I agree with them but it was very

00:32:00 ◼   ► hard like to get around that what kind

00:32:03 ◼   ► of like weird like adult child weird

00:32:06 ◼   ► split this game seems to be not quite

00:32:07 ◼   ► making and so and and like as an old

00:32:12 ◼   ► boring person at a parent now I did a

00:32:14 ◼   ► frequently sign with the parents but

00:32:16 ◼   ► anyway my I actually kind of ranked and

00:32:20 ◼   ► discussed all six hailey the blonde

00:32:24 ◼   ► she's my number six I I could never find

00:32:27 ◼   ► her and then when I did try to talk to

00:32:29 ◼   ► her she is so defensive and insulting

00:32:33 ◼   ► for like when you don't know her very

00:32:35 ◼   ► well that I was like alright forget this

00:32:37 ◼   ► she like makes funnier clothes right

00:32:39 ◼   ► away - yeah she's like making fun of me

00:32:41 ◼   ► immediately like I'll use like just gave

00:32:42 ◼   ► you this nice thing a honey or something

00:32:44 ◼   ► and you're making fun of me like come on

00:32:45 ◼   ► she's always looking for Alex - yeah

00:32:48 ◼   ► yeah you can kind of tell like she's not

00:32:49 ◼   ► really looking looking at me anyway I

00:32:51 ◼   ► was also told that like she really likes

00:32:53 ◼   ► diamonds and I'm like I've not got that

00:32:55 ◼   ► many diamonds yeah exactly

00:32:59 ◼   ► she's constantly nagging you it's very

00:33:00 ◼   ► weird yeah exactly

00:33:03 ◼   ► I mean some people are into that I guess

00:33:05 ◼   ► but anyway everyone I guess number five

00:33:09 ◼   ► I

00:33:09 ◼   ► penny I'm sorry Mike because I had I had

00:33:12 ◼   ► similar problems with her in that she

00:33:14 ◼   ► was easy to find which was nice but

00:33:16 ◼   ► whenever I would try to you know give

00:33:18 ◼   ► her things and talk to her and

00:33:19 ◼   ► everything she always seemed totally not

00:33:22 ◼   ► interested would totally shut me down

00:33:23 ◼   ► and I just couldn't get anywhere with

00:33:26 ◼   ► penny I tried I really did and like even

00:33:29 ◼   ► when even her positive reactions to

00:33:31 ◼   ► things aren't that positive like at

00:33:34 ◼   ► least when you first get that when

00:33:34 ◼   ► you're first trying get to know her and

00:33:36 ◼   ► like I was also you know like Alex I

00:33:40 ◼   ► think you mentioned earlier Demetrius

00:33:41 ◼   ► kind of getting in the way of you

00:33:43 ◼   ► getting close to Maru mm-hmm I I was

00:33:45 ◼   ► really scared of a very protective drunk

00:33:50 ◼   ► Pam getting in the way of me trying to

00:33:53 ◼   ► get to know her daughter very well oh

00:33:55 ◼   ► yeah there there's like a moment where

00:33:58 ◼   ► she is almost like violent towards you

00:34:01 ◼   ► yeah like right now like yeah I am

00:34:03 ◼   ► already married in the game and Pam

00:34:05 ◼   ► likes me a lot and yet every time I talk

00:34:09 ◼   ► to Pam she's like hey you better stay

00:34:11 ◼   ► away from my daughter and I'm not

00:34:12 ◼   ► married to her daughter that's okay like

00:34:16 ◼   ► you know I'm married now right like if

00:34:17 ◼   ► she's still she's still driving that

00:34:18 ◼   ► hard and she likes me so it's like yeah

00:34:21 ◼   ► so I would be a little afraid of what

00:34:23 ◼   ► like the town drunk would do in

00:34:26 ◼   ► overprotective mode if I went for her

00:34:28 ◼   ► daughter but just fine it wasn't an

00:34:30 ◼   ► issue because her daughter seems to hate

00:34:31 ◼   ► me anyway no matter what I give her my

00:34:33 ◼   ► number four was Maru I was interested in

00:34:36 ◼   ► getting to know her because she seems

00:34:37 ◼   ► like you know nerdy and everything but I

00:34:39 ◼   ► had the same problem you to my guy I

00:34:40 ◼   ► could never find her

00:34:41 ◼   ► like the entire time that I was like

00:34:43 ◼   ► building up the relationships I think I

00:34:45 ◼   ► saw Maru like three times total really

00:34:48 ◼   ► hard to ever find her I also like so you

00:34:52 ◼   ► know mechanically in the game when you

00:34:54 ◼   ► marry someone they come to live on your

00:34:56 ◼   ► farm with you and they basically become

00:34:59 ◼   ► like you know like your assistant in

00:35:01 ◼   ► some way that they don't do a lot on the

00:35:02 ◼   ► farm they do like minor chores around so

00:35:06 ◼   ► like they'll do like they'll fix the

00:35:07 ◼   ► fence sometimes though occasionally

00:35:09 ◼   ► water your dog bowl for you or whatever

00:35:11 ◼   ► else like they do small things I kind of

00:35:13 ◼   ► felt bad like Maru is like building

00:35:15 ◼   ► robots and stuff and like what I think

00:35:19 ◼   ► she'd be miserable coming to work on my

00:35:20 ◼   ► farm it's like I kind of felt like I was

00:35:22 ◼   ► like not doing her

00:35:23 ◼   ► a favor by trying to get her to come

00:35:25 ◼   ► live with me you know like I kind of

00:35:27 ◼   ► felt bad doing that my number three was

00:35:30 ◼   ► Lea she I found her very hard to read

00:35:33 ◼   ► like I like it was a little hard to know

00:35:35 ◼   ► like whether she was liking anything or

00:35:38 ◼   ► not

00:35:39 ◼   ► Lea seemed fairly neutral but ultimately

00:35:42 ◼   ► disinterested in me I think she's going

00:35:44 ◼   ► for Fabio and so it seems like you know

00:35:48 ◼   ► maybe and she also you know it's hard to

00:35:50 ◼   ► read part of like the the seeming

00:35:52 ◼   ► disinterest was that she is she's one of

00:35:54 ◼   ► the more independent adult characters

00:35:56 ◼   ► that we can choose from so like it like

00:35:59 ◼   ► maybe she just seemed like an

00:36:00 ◼   ► independent adult rather than some kind

00:36:01 ◼   ► of weird you know child adult thing that

00:36:04 ◼   ► we had some of the other ones but

00:36:07 ◼   ► ultimately yeah I wasn't anywhere with

00:36:08 ◼   ► Lea either because I think she's gone

00:36:10 ◼   ► for Fabio I was mainly dating two women

00:36:14 ◼   ► in the game abigail and Emily blue and

00:36:17 ◼   ► purple okay I refer to them as my purple

00:36:20 ◼   ► girlfriend of my Glu girlfriend two

00:36:26 ◼   ► redheads yeah and it's also very

00:36:28 ◼   ► convenient in the game that they're easy

00:36:29 ◼   ► to spot because they blue and purple but

00:36:32 ◼   ► they're really easy to find and if you

00:36:34 ◼   ► have a screen full of people it's really

00:36:36 ◼   ► easy to figure out which ones they are

00:36:37 ◼   ► so that made it easy Emily the my crazy

00:36:42 ◼   ► blue girlfriend she seemed like she was

00:36:45 ◼   ► she was one of the easier characters

00:36:47 ◼   ► like her hearts seemed to go up faster

00:36:49 ◼   ► than others she seemed very easily

00:36:51 ◼   ► impressed by anything I gave her pretty

00:36:52 ◼   ► much maybe I was just looking out with

00:36:54 ◼   ► what I was giving her oh no she was

00:36:55 ◼   ► super easy with me - yeah so she yes

00:36:58 ◼   ► she's very forward and so I got to see a

00:37:02 ◼   ► lot of her cutscenes also and so one of

00:37:04 ◼   ► the problems you mentioned earlier Mike

00:37:05 ◼   ► is that the blacksmith Clint it has a

00:37:08 ◼   ► huge crush on her but he's like the sad

00:37:09 ◼   ► sack or like never does anything but

00:37:12 ◼   ► he's always like mopey about how much he

00:37:13 ◼   ► likes Emily and how much she like

00:37:14 ◼   ► doesn't notice him because he's sitting

00:37:16 ◼   ► in the back being sad not doing anything

00:37:18 ◼   ► this game you know there's only one

00:37:20 ◼   ► blacksmith in town and you need the

00:37:23 ◼   ► blacksmith for some pretty critical

00:37:25 ◼   ► features of the game so I'm like you

00:37:27 ◼   ► know I don't think I want to hangar my

00:37:29 ◼   ► blacksmith in this game where there's

00:37:31 ◼   ► only one in town like that doesn't sound

00:37:33 ◼   ► like a good idea

00:37:35 ◼   ► and and in one of the later cutscene

00:37:37 ◼   ► with Emily as you get up the heart meter

00:37:39 ◼   ► there actually is a scene where like

00:37:42 ◼   ► you're like hanging out with her in her

00:37:44 ◼   ► house and then Clint comes in and sees

00:37:47 ◼   ► you with her even but even when you

00:37:50 ◼   ► aren't like a girlfriend level it's like

00:37:51 ◼   ► it's just like one of the like the one

00:37:53 ◼   ► of the hearts that was a fashion show

00:37:54 ◼   ► yeah they did the fashion yeah Clint

00:37:56 ◼   ► comes in and sees you with her he's like

00:37:57 ◼   ► oh well congratulations Marco yeah and

00:38:08 ◼   ► yeah like and like with a period at the

00:38:10 ◼   ► end you know like not not animation

00:38:12 ◼   ► point I'm just like it was the most

00:38:14 ◼   ► painful thing and and at that point I

00:38:16 ◼   ► had already decided that I was actually

00:38:19 ◼   ► going to pursue Abigail so I'm like here

00:38:22 ◼   ► I'm like I don't even want my crazy blue

00:38:24 ◼   ► girlfriend you can have her like she's

00:38:33 ◼   ► very very forward and also like really

00:38:37 ◼   ► like new agey Spacey dreams about you

00:38:40 ◼   ► and like and like her cut scenes are all

00:38:42 ◼   ► like acid trips like it's really weak

00:38:44 ◼   ► Wow yeah you should you should at least

00:38:50 ◼   ► get a crazy blue girlfriend for a little

00:38:51 ◼   ► while just so you can see some of these

00:38:52 ◼   ► cut scenes they're hilarious you don't

00:38:55 ◼   ► have to give her a bouquet to get all

00:38:57 ◼   ► those cut scenes yeah you can give she

00:38:59 ◼   ► likes rubies and you can get rubies

00:39:00 ◼   ► constantly so yeah give her rubies okay

00:39:02 ◼   ► yeah I'm gonna Ruby it up if you have

00:39:04 ◼   ► one of those crystal copiers that's I I

00:39:06 ◼   ► made my crystal copier a Ruby machine

00:39:08 ◼   ► and just gave her one like every few

00:39:10 ◼   ► days no crazy blue girlfriend anyway so

00:39:12 ◼   ► my number one is Abigail I I did

00:39:16 ◼   ► eventually marry her so I went from my

00:39:18 ◼   ► purple girlfriend to my purple wife

00:39:20 ◼   ► congratulations

00:39:21 ◼   ► yeah she seemed like she seemed like I

00:39:23 ◼   ► mean first of all like you know I have a

00:39:26 ◼   ► type and she seemed the most TIFF like

00:39:28 ◼   ► of all the character and you know it's

00:39:32 ◼   ► cool she likes video games

00:39:34 ◼   ► I just complimented she's pretty hot

00:39:35 ◼   ► yeah yeah she she likes video games

00:39:37 ◼   ► she's she is reasonably normal but fun

00:39:41 ◼   ► like she has like a fun side she's not

00:39:43 ◼   ► like super weird or super out there or

00:39:46 ◼   ► like a drunk or anything like she's just

00:39:48 ◼   ► like a normal but fun person

00:39:50 ◼   ► conveniently in the game she's easy to

00:39:52 ◼   ► find because she lives in the general

00:39:54 ◼   ► store so it was really he's a definer

00:39:57 ◼   ► for you know almost any day that I was

00:39:59 ◼   ► trying to find her except Wednesdays

00:40:00 ◼   ► when they're closed

00:40:01 ◼   ► her parents seemed normal easy to you

00:40:05 ◼   ► know I I too was very friendly to her

00:40:07 ◼   ► parents the whole time trying you know

00:40:08 ◼   ► trying to like with them it doesn't

00:40:10 ◼   ► actually except for that matter

00:40:11 ◼   ► you found Pierre stash that's have you

00:40:14 ◼   ► seen that cutscene no no what's that you

00:40:16 ◼   ► like go into Pierre's room the gate

00:40:18 ◼   ► makes you do it like I I didn't want to

00:40:20 ◼   ► look at my future father-in-law's

00:40:21 ◼   ► bedroom that's kind of awkward but like

00:40:23 ◼   ► you go into his room and he catches you

00:40:25 ◼   ► and he's and like you like found his

00:40:28 ◼   ► stash and he gets all awkward and upset

00:40:31 ◼   ► and it doesn't specify his stash of what

00:40:33 ◼   ► it could be like either drugs or porn it

00:40:35 ◼   ► was kind of unclear what the stash was

00:40:37 ◼   ► but those are my two guesses but like it

00:40:39 ◼   ► was it was really awkward and I'm like

00:40:42 ◼   ► oh god like I'm about to marry this

00:40:44 ◼   ► guy's daughter in like three days and

00:40:45 ◼   ► I'm finding his drugs or porn stash if

00:40:48 ◼   ► he's getting all mad but yeah otherwise

00:40:55 ◼   ► it was good and the only thing that the

00:40:57 ◼   ► only hesitation I had with Abigail is as

00:41:00 ◼   ► you as you mentioned Alex she wants to

00:41:02 ◼   ► go on adventure she wants to go in the

00:41:04 ◼   ► caves and have these adventures with

00:41:05 ◼   ► swords and everything as far as I know

00:41:07 ◼   ► like mechanically in the game it's not

00:41:08 ◼   ► possible for me to bring her like I

00:41:11 ◼   ► don't think I can bring her on

00:41:12 ◼   ► adventures and so I I kind of had the

00:41:14 ◼   ► same feeling as like with Maru it's like

00:41:16 ◼   ► well she wants this other kind of life

00:41:18 ◼   ► but if she marries me I mechanically

00:41:20 ◼   ► can't even give that to her I can't have

00:41:23 ◼   ► her have her life of adventure

00:41:25 ◼   ► so like am i like dooming her to like

00:41:28 ◼   ► this unfulfilled life of like feeding my

00:41:30 ◼   ► chickens and stuff like this she's free

00:41:31 ◼   ► to go in adventures now that she's

00:41:33 ◼   ► married to you right like before under

00:41:35 ◼   ► her parents house like her dad was

00:41:37 ◼   ► getting all mad that she was gonna you

00:41:39 ◼   ► would if she's like hey Margo imma gonna

00:41:42 ◼   ► go off to the caves is that cool if

00:41:43 ◼   ► you're like of course let's go yeah

00:41:45 ◼   ► anyway so that definite my my top six

00:41:50 ◼   ► hey Lia penny marília Emily and Abigail

00:41:54 ◼   ► number one I did marry Abigail it's

00:43:43 ◼   ► bring myself to even in a fantasy world

00:43:47 ◼   ► be forming a relationship with them

00:45:31 ◼   ► person and he's tons of self-doubt and

00:45:34 ◼   ► self-loathing and he you have all these

00:50:42 ◼   ► together then they become a decent

00:50:43 ◼   ► person

00:50:44 ◼   ► like a dateable person but yes Sam he

00:50:47 ◼   ► just seems at least nice and mellow and

00:50:50 ◼   ► chill and even though he still lives at

00:50:54 ◼   ► better once I get him out but I don't

00:50:55 ◼   ► think he's gonna give up that skateboard

00:50:57 ◼   ► which is fine he can skate like that's

00:50:58 ◼   ► cool he just seems like such a man-child

00:51:00 ◼   ► that a little bit problem and then

00:51:03 ◼   ► Harvey I have a hard time busting

00:51:04 ◼   ► through like he just keeps telling me

00:53:38 ◼   ► incredible information hi Minister do

00:53:40 ◼   ► you value wiki C I feel like I did not

00:53:44 ◼   ► read too much in it because part of the

00:53:46 ◼   ► joy of the game is figuring out this

00:53:47 ◼   ► stuff you know and so like I try to only

00:53:50 ◼   ► refer to the wiki if I'm really stumped

00:53:51 ◼   ► about something or if I'm if I'm curious

00:53:54 ◼   ► about some detail of the game that

00:53:55 ◼   ► doesn't really matter like I was curious

00:54:07 ◼   ► fish that I just could not figure out

00:54:08 ◼   ► when the hell to catch it and I looked

00:54:11 ◼   ► up a fish once but like I try to not

00:54:13 ◼   ► read too much out but I know that's

00:54:15 ◼   ► where I accidentally discovered that my

00:54:16 ◼   ► purple wife loved the chocolate cake so

00:54:19 ◼   ► I could I just looked up yes I've never

00:54:22 ◼   ► even thought about looking up like what

00:54:23 ◼   ► does penny like turns out penny really

00:54:25 ◼   ► loves diamonds to the engagement stage

00:54:31 ◼   ► at this point running this one a little

00:54:39 ◼   ► really easy and and my crazy blue

00:54:40 ◼   ► girlfriend like they're like the rubies

00:54:42 ◼   ► so that was super easy cuz I had tons of

00:54:44 ◼   ► those so like it yeah it definitely

00:54:46 ◼   ► matters a lot and it's also good to know

00:54:48 ◼   ► like as you're getting to know the

00:54:49 ◼   ► people in town it's good to read the

00:54:51 ◼   ► lists of universal likes and universal

00:55:12 ◼   ► that

00:55:12 ◼   ► the bad way yeah I wouldn't have guessed

00:55:14 ◼   ► how many people like like the most of

00:55:16 ◼   ► the artisan goods are included on the

00:55:18 ◼   ► universal likes so if you can get you

00:55:20 ◼   ► can walk around town with a handful of

00:55:22 ◼   ► honey or mayonnaise and give them to

00:55:23 ◼   ► almost everybody and almost everybody

00:55:24 ◼   ► will like them although I did have a

00:55:26 ◼   ► huge foot pot with my mother-in-law when

00:55:28 ◼   ► I gave her either honey or mayonnaise

00:55:29 ◼   ► she hates one of them didn't know that

00:55:31 ◼   ► gave it to her twice because that every

00:55:35 ◼   ► night you still don't know my code

00:55:36 ◼   ► because you can't remember I feel like

00:55:41 ◼   ► you need to play this game like with a

00:55:42 ◼   ► notebook next to you it's like there's

00:55:44 ◼   ► so many things where like it like one of

00:55:45 ◼   ► the fish information because like on one

00:55:49 ◼   ► of the living in the land TV shows it

00:55:50 ◼   ► told me where to catch this fish and I

00:55:52 ◼   ► just forgot and I'm like I should have

00:55:53 ◼   ► heard that down dammit you can't you

00:55:55 ◼   ► can't go back and like look at past ones

00:55:57 ◼   ► yeah I did draw out what I considered to

00:56:00 ◼   ► be the optimum sprinkler layout my farm

00:56:04 ◼   ► so like my farm is that's why I spent my

00:56:06 ◼   ► first year just mining the resources to

00:56:08 ◼   ► buy enough sprinklers to mean that I

00:56:10 ◼   ► never had the water plants anymore

00:56:12 ◼   ► oh yeah that's step one is get yourself

00:56:14 ◼   ► out of the business of watering anything

00:56:15 ◼   ► but your dog wait you wanted a dog oh

00:56:18 ◼   ► you haven't been giving your dog any

00:56:20 ◼   ► water I have a cat I know I've never

00:56:24 ◼   ► done it I did give your caddy water why

00:56:27 ◼   ► do you have a cat I don't know I have a

00:56:29 ◼   ► cat

00:56:30 ◼   ► well of course alex has a cat of course

00:56:32 ◼   ► no I just chose the cat because you know

00:56:39 ◼   ► honestly I thought the cat would take

00:56:40 ◼   ► would be less work is so cute though

00:56:45 ◼   ► like it was a tail it goes thump thump

00:56:47 ◼   ► thump on the ground Jeeves I called my

00:56:49 ◼   ► cat Jeeves

00:56:50 ◼   ► and James just like I didn't know he

00:56:52 ◼   ► needed anything so now I need to go put

00:56:55 ◼   ► some water in his bowl like did you ever

00:56:57 ◼   ► notice when it was raining that the bowl

00:56:58 ◼   ► would fill up with water

00:56:59 ◼   ► no and then every other day it was empty

00:57:01 ◼   ► again I mention to Jeeves right like

00:57:04 ◼   ► Jesus just out that live in his life

00:57:06 ◼   ► yeah I'm really glad you don't own like

00:57:07 ◼   ► real pets I'm good for my chickens and

00:57:16 ◼   ► my cows though okay so what's the what's

00:57:35 ◼   ► call it so I wanted to I was just gonna

00:57:37 ◼   ► call it mega farm because I thought it

00:57:39 ◼   ► was kind of funny mega I call it mega

00:57:42 ◼   ► farm so now it's called mega farm farm

00:57:44 ◼   ► [Laughter]

00:57:56 ◼   ► machine so it's just called mega farm

00:57:59 ◼   ► phone hates so much and you can't change

00:58:03 ◼   ► it after ten minutes of sitting there

00:58:09 ◼   ► and trying to come up with something I

00:58:10 ◼   ► thought I come up with something kind of

00:58:12 ◼   ► funny and then just made it so much

00:58:14 ◼   ► worse like I may as well have just

00:58:15 ◼   ► called it Mike yeah it would have been

00:58:18 ◼   ► better

00:58:19 ◼   ► mega farm fun that's pretty bad

00:58:23 ◼   ► Marco I don't even know the name of your

00:58:25 ◼   ► farm I thought I was being funny too and

00:58:27 ◼   ► it was like name your farm and I was

00:58:28 ◼   ► like sausage sausage is a funny word you

00:58:39 ◼   ► you did you decided on the wrong gender

00:58:48 ◼   ► mine's super boring it's called the

00:58:51 ◼   ► upper farm because like I said I'm

00:58:53 ◼   ► really into the show

00:58:55 ◼   ► Wynonna Erb if if people like really

00:58:59 ◼   ► campy sci-fi shows I recommend it

00:59:02 ◼   ► because I'm like an adventurer in this

00:59:04 ◼   ► game that's perfect

00:59:06 ◼   ► I'm a I went with Schrute farm because I

00:59:09 ◼   ► really like and my character's name is

00:59:15 ◼   ► fanny so you got the whole thing like

00:59:18 ◼   ► TIFF Fanny so right and then there's

00:59:20 ◼   ► also a Fanny Schrute

00:59:21 ◼   ► oh that's Dwight's sister and then

00:59:24 ◼   ► everything on my farm is an out of

00:59:26 ◼   ► reference to the office so anything I

00:59:28 ◼   ► ever had to nays and all your cows and

00:59:30 ◼   ► everything yeah my dog's name is Dwight

00:59:32 ◼   ► and all my cows name and chickens and

00:59:36 ◼   ► everything are named all different

00:59:37 ◼   ► things I even have a mastered

00:59:39 ◼   ► if the goat and peepee this is a good

00:59:43 ◼   ► theme so you don't play as yourself - I

00:59:45 ◼   ► know I am myself but I just decided that

00:59:47 ◼   ► I just can't get it like huh I I have a

00:59:55 ◼   ► I have a naming scheme for my animals in

00:59:58 ◼   ► that I choose a word

00:59:58 ◼   ► that I choose a word

01:00:00 ◼   ► that is related to the animals and it

01:00:01 ◼   ► changed the vowels in it so my cows

01:00:05 ◼   ► they're all variation of the word Moo

01:00:09 ◼   ► but I just changed the OO - like I I or

01:00:12 ◼   ► you you or why why well sometime I mean

01:00:24 ◼   ► I there's some variation like milk

01:00:26 ◼   ► machine egg machine eggs herb get KitKat

01:00:30 ◼   ► for me cat anyway I'm very lazy with

01:00:33 ◼   ► animals in this game yeah mine are kind

01:00:35 ◼   ► of closer to the Alex ones

01:00:37 ◼   ► mine are like the foods that they could

01:00:39 ◼   ► eventually become so like my chickens

01:00:41 ◼   ► are all named like salad soup

01:00:43 ◼   ► cacciatore things like that my my duck

01:00:47 ◼   ► is confit the rabbit rabbit stew yeah

01:00:51 ◼   ► the rep's names to do tartare you have

01:00:53 ◼   ► two cows tartare the pig is pulled

01:00:57 ◼   ► [Laughter]

01:01:03 ◼   ► cordovan cordovan yeah also dark man I

01:01:08 ◼   ► just have like Kevin there's one of the

01:01:16 ◼   ► reasons I did this is because like there

01:01:18 ◼   ► are a few bugs in the switch version and

01:01:20 ◼   ► one of them that I came across just

01:01:23 ◼   ► through reading reddit is that if you

01:01:25 ◼   ► accidentally or purposefully name an

01:01:28 ◼   ► animal after somebody in the town it

01:01:30 ◼   ► will eventually corrupt your game really

01:01:35 ◼   ► check I don't think I have there's no

01:01:37 ◼   ► office names yeah yeah I think this is

01:01:40 ◼   ► one of the things that fixing soon but

01:01:42 ◼   ► yeah it like because if it starts like

01:01:45 ◼   ► getting confused as to who is who like

01:01:47 ◼   ► out of the cow and the person and then

01:01:49 ◼   ► like eventually it just falls in on

01:01:51 ◼   ► itself

01:01:52 ◼   ► oh also if you leave a blank space in

01:01:54 ◼   ► your refrigerator you won't be able to

01:01:55 ◼   ► say crash at night every time yeah I've

01:01:57 ◼   ► heard about that yeah every time you

01:01:59 ◼   ► cook anything go back to their fridge

01:02:00 ◼   ► make sure there's no gaps otherwise it

01:02:02 ◼   ► will crash at night it's not it's not

01:02:03 ◼   ► it's not I I saw in the wiki I was

01:02:07 ◼   ► looking up information for my horse and

01:02:08 ◼   ► whether I had to feed him or not and

01:02:10 ◼   ► that it said there's a funny bug at the

01:02:12 ◼   ► horse where if you park the horse in the

01:02:13 ◼   ► ice

01:02:13 ◼   ► and you can buy ice cream anytime

01:02:25 ◼   ► someone is here working you must be able

01:02:27 ◼   ► to buy a that's literally the book so

01:02:30 ◼   ► like this is in the winter is that you

01:02:31 ◼   ► can buy ice cream if the host is that I

01:02:33 ◼   ► haven't actually tried yet but I'm gonna

01:02:34 ◼   ► try that's amazing it counts as a person

01:02:37 ◼   ► being there unlimited ice cream exactly

01:02:40 ◼   ► man I'm just enjoying this game so much

01:02:42 ◼   ► I'm so glad that we talked about all

01:02:44 ◼   ► these crazy townspeople because Marco

01:02:46 ◼   ► and I it's like our stories now we're

01:02:48 ◼   ► like whoa what's the mayor up to like he

01:02:51 ◼   ► just asked me for some truffle oil and

01:02:53 ◼   ► was mentioning the slickness of it and

01:02:56 ◼   ► we're like whoa no it was crazy it was

01:02:59 ◼   ► like the this asked me for the truffle

01:03:02 ◼   ► oil and it's and he says he won't tell

01:03:04 ◼   ► you why he won't tell you what it's

01:03:05 ◼   ► worth I don't like if anyone else asked

01:03:08 ◼   ► for truffle oil and just you would

01:03:10 ◼   ► assume okay it's for you know putting on

01:03:12 ◼   ► things to make them taste slightly

01:03:13 ◼   ► better you if they say and I'm not gonna

01:03:16 ◼   ► tell you why that immediately makes it

01:03:18 ◼   ► incredibly suspicious and creepy oh yeah

01:03:21 ◼   ► the mayor's got something going on you

01:03:22 ◼   ► should all sleep through his house it's

01:03:24 ◼   ► amazing TIFF has gone through a whole

01:03:28 ◼   ► town yeah you you've really done some

01:03:30 ◼   ► investigation like my plan was I'm gonna

01:03:33 ◼   ► start like really investigating after I

01:03:36 ◼   ► get married right like that's what I'm

01:03:38 ◼   ► gonna try and build more friendships and

01:03:39 ◼   ► stuff like that because I feel like the

01:03:42 ◼   ► marriage thing is like my next goal in

01:03:44 ◼   ► the game in a way like this game is

01:03:46 ◼   ► pretty loose with I mean there is story

01:03:49 ◼   ► there's stuff going on right I mean

01:03:51 ◼   ► there are things that I can see that

01:03:53 ◼   ► gonna happen that I haven't gone to yet

01:03:54 ◼   ► but if it feels very much like in that

01:03:57 ◼   ► idea of like build your own game and I

01:04:00 ◼   ► just decided for sure say like

01:04:02 ◼   ► speedrunning my relationship and then

01:04:04 ◼   ► once I got to the marriage staged and

01:04:06 ◼   ► I'm gonna maybe make some friends well

01:04:08 ◼   ► that's that the problem with that so

01:04:10 ◼   ► this is the problem I'm facing now is

01:04:11 ◼   ► like so I got married and so now I've

01:04:13 ◼   ► kind of immediately lost interest in

01:04:15 ◼   ► going around giving everybody gifts all

01:04:17 ◼   ► the time like mmm it maybe it's cuz it's

01:04:20 ◼   ► like it's it's somewhere in fall so I've

01:04:21 ◼   ► been very busy on the farm just

01:04:22 ◼   ► harvesting all my awesome automatic

01:04:24 ◼   ► automatically water crops

01:04:26 ◼   ► but like you know it also kind of feels

01:04:29 ◼   ► like a little bit like should I keep

01:04:31 ◼   ► giving gifts to like all the single

01:04:33 ◼   ► women after I'm married it feels a

01:04:35 ◼   ► little bit wrong you know like as long

01:04:37 ◼   ► as you don't give them a bouquet I think

01:04:39 ◼   ► you're okay right

01:04:40 ◼   ► technically yes but it just feels

01:04:42 ◼   ► awkward like in real life I would

01:04:44 ◼   ► probably not keep doing that yeah real

01:04:45 ◼   ► life I don't let him talk to anybody go

01:04:52 ◼   ► hang out with your bikes so I want to

01:05:01 ◼   ► know Alex do you have a different farm

01:05:03 ◼   ► layout than the standard one because see

01:05:05 ◼   ► I didn't have much farming to do because

01:05:07 ◼   ► I had the forest farm so I don't have a

01:05:10 ◼   ► ton of farmland so I had a lot of time

01:05:13 ◼   ► to snoop in everyone's dressers so I was

01:05:16 ◼   ► out relationship inquiry no I did it

01:05:24 ◼   ► mostly because I wanted to see what the

01:05:27 ◼   ► mechanics were like on the switch and I

01:05:29 ◼   ► have to say this port is absolutely

01:05:31 ◼   ► amazing I'm so impressed at how it's

01:05:33 ◼   ► gone to other platforms with the one

01:05:35 ◼   ► caveat that saves take like ten times

01:05:41 ◼   ► it's it it's kind of I I don't know

01:05:45 ◼   ► people like oh you should enjoy it I'm

01:05:48 ◼   ► like no I want to get to the next day I

01:05:49 ◼   ► want to water my crops ah to browse

01:05:53 ◼   ► Instagram yeah I use it as my Twitter

01:05:56 ◼   ► break yeah but that has kind of sort of

01:05:59 ◼   ► made me get into making to-do lists more

01:06:03 ◼   ► like I do I keep a notebook next I'm on

01:06:07 ◼   ► the verge of making an OmniFocus project

01:06:10 ◼   ► and because I don't do that and there's

01:06:15 ◼   ► so much lemming I remember tomorrow go

01:06:17 ◼   ► try to get the slime hutch built but

01:06:19 ◼   ► first I got to make sure the space is

01:06:20 ◼   ► cleared like there's not like everything

01:06:21 ◼   ► like there's and then it's Wednesday and

01:06:23 ◼   ► then it's wet all the stores closed and

01:06:25 ◼   ► then oh I had to buy a calendar for my

01:06:27 ◼   ► house to just give me some idea and

01:06:29 ◼   ► exercise class the Carpenters not there

01:06:32 ◼   ► every every every season I screw up

01:06:36 ◼   ► every season I think I'm getting a head

01:06:38 ◼   ► start on myself but like I know what

01:06:40 ◼   ► like I was I will like like 10 to the

01:06:43 ◼   ► ground and I'll get the fertilizer ready

01:06:45 ◼   ► and the season changes and it all

01:06:47 ◼   ► disappears I've done this three times

01:06:49 ◼   ► why I keep thinking that is good oh it's

01:06:54 ◼   ► fine going into summer it won't happen

01:06:55 ◼   ► summer no it happened again so I need to

01:06:58 ◼   ► stop doing that so my my advice to you

01:07:01 ◼   ► is stop using fertilizer oh really

01:07:04 ◼   ► so I mean it depends like how many crops

01:07:06 ◼   ► you have like so my farm right now is

01:07:08 ◼   ► pretty big I I only will expand when I

01:07:11 ◼   ► can afford a sprinkler so I'd never

01:07:12 ◼   ► manually watering anything set the bug

01:07:14 ◼   ► bowl marker the only thing you're really

01:07:15 ◼   ► good at growing on your farm is money

01:07:17 ◼   ► right now you guys you have so I'll have

01:07:22 ◼   ► to send you a screenshot of my father

01:07:23 ◼   ► guys I'm doing as much space as I can

01:07:26 ◼   ► with like kegs and jelly jars and

01:07:29 ◼   ► beehives oh and everything I don't know

01:07:31 ◼   ► how he grew his farm so fast

01:07:34 ◼   ► it's absolutely intra sounding it's a

01:07:36 ◼   ► machine it's I just it's insane it's

01:07:40 ◼   ► insane every single night he's raking in

01:07:42 ◼   ► like you know 30 grand yeah Macha you

01:07:51 ◼   ► have some like hacks that I need to know

01:07:52 ◼   ► about what are you doing

01:07:54 ◼   ► so I heard you mentioned I think was on

01:07:56 ◼   ► remaster you mentioned somewhere

01:07:57 ◼   ► recently that like you figured out like

01:07:59 ◼   ► that you should rather than like trying

01:08:01 ◼   ► to save up your money early you should

01:08:02 ◼   ► just like spends it all on new seeds

01:08:04 ◼   ► yeah timely so yeah so you know step

01:08:06 ◼   ► number one is always have a lot of seeds

01:08:09 ◼   ► around so that as soon as you harvest

01:08:11 ◼   ► something you plant that seed right back

01:08:12 ◼   ► in there so you never have any unused

01:08:13 ◼   ► farmland that you that you could be

01:08:15 ◼   ► using number two is get yourself out of

01:08:17 ◼   ► the business of watering things

01:08:18 ◼   ► immediately so like do whatever it takes

01:08:21 ◼   ► to get enough resources to build at

01:08:23 ◼   ► least the quality sprinkler I don't have

01:08:25 ◼   ► any iridium sprinkler because I don't

01:08:26 ◼   ► have a good Iridium supply coming in yet

01:08:28 ◼   ► but the quality like I know the ones

01:08:31 ◼   ► that just do little tea patterns those

01:08:33 ◼   ► suck like don't even bother with those

01:08:34 ◼   ► because what happens when you grow the

01:08:36 ◼   ► farm large enough the limiting factor

01:08:39 ◼   ► starts to become your time in both

01:08:41 ◼   ► planting and harvesting so when you have

01:08:44 ◼   ► those little dumb tea sprinklers you

01:08:46 ◼   ► have to make these weird awkward

01:08:47 ◼   ► patterns to optimize their space as you

01:08:49 ◼   ► as you mentioned but then they become

01:08:51 ◼   ► much harder to walk through they become

01:08:53 ◼   ► much harder to

01:08:53 ◼   ► hoe the ground because you'd be more

01:08:55 ◼   ► careful but what spots your hoeing and

01:08:57 ◼   ► which ones you're not it just adds a lot

01:08:59 ◼   ► more time so what you need to do is do

01:09:01 ◼   ► whatever it takes you know spend a lot

01:09:02 ◼   ► of time in the mines whatever it takes

01:09:04 ◼   ► to get enough is it iron and copper to

01:09:06 ◼   ► build the quality sprinklers the ones

01:09:09 ◼   ► that just water the the whole eight

01:09:10 ◼   ► squares around them and then you just

01:09:12 ◼   ► make lines of those and then when you

01:09:14 ◼   ► have that's kind of setup you can do

01:09:16 ◼   ► things in bulk so one little trick you

01:09:18 ◼   ► can harvest continuously by just holding

01:09:20 ◼   ► down the harvest button and just walking

01:09:22 ◼   ► through the field and so optimize things

01:09:25 ◼   ► for being able to do things in large

01:09:27 ◼   ► strips like that so like plant the same

01:09:29 ◼   ► thing for like a huge strip or anything

01:09:32 ◼   ► that's harvested with the sky plant a

01:09:33 ◼   ► lot of those because those are really

01:09:34 ◼   ► fast to harvest obviously favor crops

01:09:37 ◼   ► that reach that regenerate so you don't

01:09:39 ◼   ► to replant them every time certain crops

01:09:42 ◼   ► are worth more than others if you get

01:09:44 ◼   ► into the business of having like the

01:09:45 ◼   ► kegs and the jelly jars those basically

01:09:48 ◼   ► multiply the price of whatever you put

01:09:50 ◼   ► in them so grow expensive things and put

01:09:52 ◼   ► them in those jars and then that you get

01:09:53 ◼   ► like a bottle of star fruit wine sells

01:09:56 ◼   ► for $3,000 like it's incredible and the

01:09:59 ◼   ► star fruit seed is it's like 400 bucks

01:10:01 ◼   ► but hey if you're getting three thousand

01:10:03 ◼   ► dollars after a while it's worth it

01:10:05 ◼   ► right so anyway you just optimize things

01:10:07 ◼   ► for like growing in bulk and then you

01:10:10 ◼   ► will have an infinite supply of money

01:10:11 ◼   ► yeah kegs and jaws is a world that I

01:10:13 ◼   ► haven't even aware existed I just

01:10:16 ◼   ► started doing that like after my first

01:10:18 ◼   ► winter and and listen now I have like

01:10:21 ◼   ► these boxes on my farm I'm just like

01:10:23 ◼   ► most of the things I grow now I don't

01:10:24 ◼   ► even sell I I see them in boxes and just

01:10:27 ◼   ► fill up my giant row of cakes but anyway

01:10:30 ◼   ► the reason I said stop using fertilizer

01:10:32 ◼   ► is once you have you know because right

01:10:34 ◼   ► now I think my total farmland is

01:10:36 ◼   ► something like 200 squares of Oh

01:10:39 ◼   ► sprinkler plant I just unlocked the

01:10:42 ◼   ► greenhouse so I'm gonna have more and a

01:10:44 ◼   ► little bow

01:10:45 ◼   ► so I've roughly took his like like I

01:10:47 ◼   ► added up one time to like how many seats

01:10:49 ◼   ► we have to buy on day one of the season

01:10:50 ◼   ► and it was it was like 160 then and I've

01:10:52 ◼   ► added a little bit more we basically

01:10:54 ◼   ► stopped watching TV and all we do is

01:10:55 ◼   ► play this game yeah

01:10:56 ◼   ► yeah I have some more I need to spend a

01:10:59 ◼   ► lot more time in Saudi Valley I mean I

01:11:01 ◼   ► will say Mario kind of put a big dent

01:11:05 ◼   ► who needs a sorry Valley time

01:11:07 ◼   ► I will just tell you right now you need

01:11:09 ◼   ► Mario no no sorry Valley or do study

01:11:13 ◼   ► Valley is of course incredible Super

01:11:16 ◼   ► Mario Odyssey is just super Mario

01:11:21 ◼   ► Odyssey you'd be surprised at Beach I

01:11:25 ◼   ► keep being tempted cuz you see like your

01:11:28 ◼   ► friends come online and they're like up

01:11:30 ◼   ► Odyssey Odyssey and I'm like oh no but I

01:11:32 ◼   ► gotta get those batteries Oh

01:11:35 ◼   ► must get baru I feel like you're

01:11:42 ◼   ► starting like a collection oh yeah look

01:11:48 ◼   ► at my beautiful there you want to end

01:11:58 ◼   ► there uh yeah I think we should add some

01:12:01 ◼   ► of the farm talk is like a little after

01:12:04 ◼   ► show possibly yeah yeah oh so anyway so

01:12:06 ◼   ► the reason you don't want you don't want

01:12:07 ◼   ► fertilizer is because once you have so

01:12:10 ◼   ► many farm spots your main limitation

01:12:12 ◼   ► becomes time of like yourself just

01:12:13 ◼   ► walking through harvesting stuff and

01:12:15 ◼   ► planting stuff yeah and so not only do

01:12:17 ◼   ► you not need fertilizer because you have

01:12:18 ◼   ► so many spots that the amount that you

01:12:20 ◼   ► grow that our premium matters less

01:12:22 ◼   ► because you'll get gold star stuff

01:12:23 ◼   ► anyway I'm just you won't get as much of

01:12:25 ◼   ► it also the citroen habits of the most

01:12:28 ◼   ► successful farmer also if you're putting

01:12:32 ◼   ► everything in the jars to jam or pickle

01:12:34 ◼   ► or wine them anyway it doesn't matter

01:12:36 ◼   ► what stars they have also if you don't

01:12:39 ◼   ► fertilize then your crops grow at the

01:12:40 ◼   ► same rate

01:12:41 ◼   ► like I never got like the speed grow and

01:12:42 ◼   ► stuff because it's like it could

01:12:43 ◼   ► increase your crops by a random amount

01:12:45 ◼   ► well if the crops are already at the

01:12:47 ◼   ► same time they take less time to harvest

01:12:49 ◼   ► so like you gotta optimize what these

01:12:51 ◼   ► big offers for high-volume production

01:12:54 ◼   ► that will save yourself the time we

01:12:57 ◼   ► should do a cortex episode about this

01:12:58 ◼   ► game I mean it's a I like dating around

01:13:08 ◼   ► my horse carrying 50 wheat trying to

01:13:11 ◼   ► figure out where to put it

01:13:12 ◼   ► yeah I'm just gonna walk around town get

01:13:14 ◼   ► 200 berries and if the top four signal

01:13:17 ◼   ► was not shined in the air I would have

01:13:19 ◼   ► been too

01:13:20 ◼   ► the marker roof just trying to build the

01:13:21 ◼   ► best farm possible like that that was

01:13:23 ◼   ► what I was doing anyway like I always

01:13:25 ◼   ► figured like though the relationship

01:13:27 ◼   ► stuff will come I want to make all the

01:13:29 ◼   ► possible money first yeah like that was

01:13:31 ◼   ► kind of where I was going so I will I

01:13:33 ◼   ► will I think I'm close to marriage with

01:13:36 ◼   ► penny I have one more heart before its

01:13:38 ◼   ► maximum hearts and I'm assuming maximal

01:13:39 ◼   ► and hearts is where where the money is

01:13:42 ◼   ► yeah that that is when it becomes

01:13:44 ◼   ► possible to marry her all right then I'm

01:13:47 ◼   ► gonna then I'm gonna try and build out

01:13:48 ◼   ► my farm to be bigger and better which

01:13:50 ◼   ► means a lot more mine and time

01:13:52 ◼   ► gotta get those resources but it's

01:13:54 ◼   ► coming up to winter you see I think I I

01:13:56 ◼   ► was I was better off because I had I

01:13:58 ◼   ► reached the end of the of the main mine

01:14:01 ◼   ► pretty early on like I it was like by

01:14:05 ◼   ► like my first fall I hit bottom yeah I

01:14:07 ◼   ► did it my first winter yeah and so like

01:14:09 ◼   ► because because I did that early wait if

01:14:11 ◼   ► so TIF is still working on her she's

01:14:13 ◼   ► almost at the bottom but not yet like

01:14:14 ◼   ► because she's been spending all the time

01:14:15 ◼   ► he's know everybody I have nobody and

01:14:18 ◼   ► I'm doing some serious quest that I fell

01:14:20 ◼   ► into is anyone else doing that weird

01:14:22 ◼   ► quest the mr. Chi one yeah yeah I

01:14:25 ◼   ► haven't I haven't seen that myself Alex

01:14:27 ◼   ► you played this a couple of times yeah I

01:14:29 ◼   ► came across at one time and never

01:14:30 ◼   ► finished it right now I'm working on

01:14:33 ◼   ► getting the mayor's shorts back which is

01:14:34 ◼   ► one of my favorite little quests oh yeah

01:14:37 ◼   ► you're gonna find out so much about the

01:14:38 ◼   ► mayor okay yep it's so tough like a year

01:14:40 ◼   ► to find his shorts every times like I

01:14:42 ◼   ► still haven't found the mayor's damn

01:14:43 ◼   ► shorts also cheese challenge which is to

01:14:45 ◼   ► get to level 25 in the thing right is

01:14:49 ◼   ► that what the cheese challenge is no I

01:14:51 ◼   ► did that that seems really hard so what

01:14:53 ◼   ► you had you have to first of all you

01:14:55 ◼   ► gotta obviously bring a lot of food and

01:14:56 ◼   ► a lot of and you know bring some bombs

01:14:58 ◼   ► or some staircases maybe I haven't I

01:14:59 ◼   ► haven't bought a staircase yet but I

01:15:02 ◼   ► hear that will help but what you really

01:15:04 ◼   ► have to do is you have to check the

01:15:05 ◼   ► fortune teller show on TV and only go to

01:15:08 ◼   ► the mines on days where it says you have

01:15:09 ◼   ► really good luck that's what that means

01:15:11 ◼   ► because that will that I think that that

01:15:14 ◼   ► that determines not not only what kind

01:15:15 ◼   ► of minerals you get but that determines

01:15:16 ◼   ► how often staircases come up mm-hmm

01:15:19 ◼   ► so that like set yourself up to succeed

01:15:21 ◼   ► all right so I'm only gonna go inside no

01:15:24 ◼   ► I didn't know what that fortune tellers

01:15:26 ◼   ► show was fool I could see in US I kinda

01:15:27 ◼   ► figured it was some to do crops related

01:15:30 ◼   ► the whole first year I didn't I was like

01:15:32 ◼   ► what is this for I just need

01:15:33 ◼   ► watch it but there's like everyday

01:15:35 ◼   ► there's like a global luck value

01:15:37 ◼   ► basically and that affects fishing

01:15:39 ◼   ► mining anything we're like oh you might

01:15:41 ◼   ► get something good like this game yeah

01:15:46 ◼   ► yeah so like in so if it says like oh

01:15:48 ◼   ► you know the fortunes are bad are mad

01:15:50 ◼   ► today you're gonna have bad luck

01:15:51 ◼   ► don't even bother going to the mind and

01:15:53 ◼   ► you probably shouldn't even be fishing

01:15:54 ◼   ► like it's because you're gonna just

01:15:56 ◼   ► waste time and not and waste your stuff

01:15:57 ◼   ► if you have really good luck and it's

01:15:59 ◼   ► also some some of the foods that you can

01:16:00 ◼   ► make will increase your luck make those

01:16:03 ◼   ► and bring those when you go mining and

01:16:05 ◼   ► and then you'll get like more staircases

01:16:07 ◼   ► that appear and you know maybe more

01:16:09 ◼   ► minerals that appear and stuff like that

01:16:10 ◼   ► interesting that explains what I like

01:16:12 ◼   ► sometimes like I've been like just

01:16:14 ◼   ► mining for resources and I can see a

01:16:16 ◼   ► staircase and then I'm mining and

01:16:19 ◼   ► another staircase appears and I'm like

01:16:21 ◼   ► why is this happening yeah it's a luck

01:16:23 ◼   ► factor right there's just more

01:16:24 ◼   ► staircases you can hit it's kind of nice

01:16:26 ◼   ► though because the bad fortune days I

01:16:28 ◼   ► kind of essentially take is like my

01:16:30 ◼   ► dating days because that doesn't affect

01:16:31 ◼   ► the cutscene I make the wall my fortune

01:16:44 ◼   ► what a game what a great game so good I

01:16:48 ◼   ► mean this this to me like you know

01:16:51 ◼   ► because I'm I'm not really much of a

01:16:52 ◼   ► gamer for most of the time but

01:16:55 ◼   ► occasionally I will get super into a

01:16:57 ◼   ► game and so in the past that's been like

01:17:00 ◼   ► SimCity 2000 you know things like you

01:17:02 ◼   ► know building games like that

01:17:03 ◼   ► occasionally like an RTS might get me

01:17:05 ◼   ► but not enough for a long time usually

01:17:07 ◼   ► it's been building games like like and

01:17:08 ◼   ► to me I would say this is a great

01:17:11 ◼   ► candidate to be like the current

01:17:13 ◼   ► generations SimCity 2000 like it is that

01:17:15 ◼   ► it is that good where it's it's a

01:17:17 ◼   ► building kind of game it's it's very

01:17:20 ◼   ► uplifting it's like it's it's precious

01:17:22 ◼   ► it is you know in a good way it's it's

01:17:26 ◼   ► adorable it's charming it is also very

01:17:28 ◼   ► fun

01:17:29 ◼   ► it's very light-hearted it doesn't have

01:17:31 ◼   ► any of the like annoying exploitive

01:17:33 ◼   ► mechanics of modern like iOS games and

01:17:36 ◼   ► even some console games it's just nice

01:17:39 ◼   ► like when like when we were trying to

01:17:41 ◼   ► explain this game - it's a Tiff's father

01:17:43 ◼   ► recently and you know he's he's used to

01:17:47 ◼   ► games on the iPad

01:17:47 ◼   ► he plays you know he plays the same

01:17:49 ◼   ► games that everyone else plays in the

01:17:50 ◼   ► iPad like clash of clans stuff like that

01:17:51 ◼   ► and like when you explain when you

01:17:52 ◼   ► mention that you're playing like a

01:17:53 ◼   ► farming game to somebody from most of

01:17:56 ◼   ► the world they assume it's gonna be more

01:17:58 ◼   ► like farmville which is very like you

01:17:59 ◼   ► know exploitive like oh you better come

01:18:01 ◼   ► back at 2 a.m. or you're gonna lose your

01:18:03 ◼   ► farm or like stuff like that and this

01:18:04 ◼   ► game has none of that crap it has like

01:18:06 ◼   ► no in-app purchases

01:18:07 ◼   ► nothing based on real time and you know

01:18:09 ◼   ► you don't have to come check the game in

01:18:11 ◼   ► every real life day like you can just

01:18:14 ◼   ► stop playing and your world pauses when

01:18:16 ◼   ► you have time you can go play it again

01:18:18 ◼   ► just as little to do as you want yeah

01:18:21 ◼   ► like like the whole like the whole first

01:18:25 ◼   ► like few days I was playing it you know

01:18:26 ◼   ► I knew nothing about the game I was just

01:18:28 ◼   ► playing a blonde and I kept thinking

01:18:29 ◼   ► like alright what what's gonna come out

01:18:31 ◼   ► and just kill me like what like what

01:18:33 ◼   ► what random thing that I didn't know

01:18:35 ◼   ► about is gonna come just kill me and

01:18:36 ◼   ► then we call and teach me a lesson you

01:18:38 ◼   ► know and this game just doesn't have

01:18:39 ◼   ► that like it's just a nice game it's low

01:18:42 ◼   ► it's low stress you're not constantly

01:18:45 ◼   ► like worrying about some random thing

01:18:48 ◼   ► that's gonna come out and kill you like

01:18:49 ◼   ► it's or some like oh god what horrible

01:18:52 ◼   ► things gonna happen if I forget about X

01:18:53 ◼   ► Y or Z if I forget to do this thing and

01:18:55 ◼   ► yeah the answer is nothing bad really

01:18:57 ◼   ► happens like it's just a nice game and

01:18:59 ◼   ► yet it's still despite having nothing

01:19:01 ◼   ► bad really happening it still manages to

01:19:03 ◼   ► be good and fun and challenging and

01:19:05 ◼   ► rewarding and it's and and I keep going

01:19:08 ◼   ► back like I can't believe one person

01:19:10 ◼   ► made this game like it's such a marvel

01:19:13 ◼   ► and when you see like the more you play

01:19:15 ◼   ► it the more impressive that gets because

01:19:17 ◼   ► you see like oh my god this whole world

01:19:20 ◼   ► like the world is huge all of the art

01:19:23 ◼   ► just the art alone the fact that the art
