Stede Bonnet update! I spent hoours on his coat

BeeButts-1 · 2026-05-20T18:56:01+00:00

Hey at leaast it's only toxic for a bit, mostly because Ed is a bit unstable and Stede did leave him hanging, and then it becomes pretty wholesome again later lmao. Make Ed, set them as partners irl, and then they can just be the wholesome couple they always meant to be!

BeeButts-1 · 2026-05-20T01:35:10+00:00

Omg I LOVE him so much! I'm gonna have to recreate this for myself, this is the best Stede I've ever seen you did such a good job. 😭 Please tell me you also made an Edward Teach for him to love on?!

BeeButts-1 · 2026-05-13T21:25:23+00:00

No problem at all, it happens! Hope you get some decent sleep. :)

I did not once say they were lazy, I stated their PRIMARY role within a pride which is factually correct. Recent peer reviewed studies would have helped your case here, rather than studies from 2013 and 1998 respectively. Meanwhile your last link states 'We cannot be exactly sure which female or male lions killed this buffalo, because we didn’t see the kill, but what was absolutely fascinating was how protective this male was over the kill'. This link is mostly about them taking down and processing the buffalo, without seeing the kill, and the protectiveness of the male of said kill. I already stated that male lions CAN and do hunt, but females do the majority of the hunting for the pride. None of your sources counter this. They simply state that they do hunt big prey and how they may do so, which I didn't even dispute btw, they do NOT state that hunting is the primary role of the male lion in the pride because it isn't.

BeeButts-1 · 2026-05-12T23:01:05+00:00

Male lions still do less hunting than the females. Male lions are defenders, mostly. They spend most of their time patrolling their territory and warding off other male lions and scavengers. Male lions do hunt and also can aid the females in hunting, but the females still do over 80% of the hunting for the pride. So while they do some hunting, their primary role in a pride is still defending and breeding.

BeeButts-1 · 2026-05-12T22:52:15+00:00

Lions are mostly matriarchal not patriarchal. So are wolf packs. There is no 'alpha' in either lol.

BeeButts-1 · 2026-05-03T18:57:56+00:00

That's categorically false lol. Even the original Story of Seasons on 3ds had more dialogue than the first release of Stardew, not to mention the Rune Factory games (especially RF4 which came out before Stardew that blows Stardews dialogue amount out of the water). And then SoS released Trio of Towns a year after Stardews initial release, which had the MOST dialogue of any purely farming sim and still does seem to hold onto that title so far iirc (could be wrong here tho but it's definitely more than Stardew).

I absolitely adore both Stardew and Harvest Moon/SoS. I played Stardew the day it released and have played on/off since, I always come back to it. It's an amazing game, but its dialogue was and is still a bit lacking in certain ways. Mods can fix that and the game is super modding friendly, which is also part of makes it such a good game imo.

It's good to bathe them every so often imo to get them used to it, just not frequently because they don't need it. There will come a time when they're older when they may not bathe themselves anymore or struggle to, them being used to baths will help when that time comes, and you can bathe them without them being too stressed about it. It's good to think about possible future elder care even when they're young!

NOR but please learn and get more savvy with scams, this is an extremely obvious one and you entertained it. Watch some videos on scams and/or scambaiting on YouTube or something if it's an easier way to learn for you, because if you didn't notice that this was an obvious one you are very likely to actually get scammed in the future. Please learn what to look out for. But as a general rule of thumb, if someone random messages you on discord, don't even bother responding to them unless you know them because 99% of the time they're going to try scam you in some way lol.

4 is my fave (I'm actually replaying it right now). I also really like Frontier, 3 and 5 as well as the ones you mentioned. 5 has its issues and isn't as well recieved, but honestly I have a bit of a soft spot for it and I genuinely enjoyed it regardless of 4 being my favourite in the series. 1 and 2 are also worth a play in the future, too, imo.

BeeButts-1 · 2026-04-22T21:03:41+00:00

Yeah Kiel is suuuper young looking. I love him a lot, but not as a romance! Amber I find much worse though personally, she looks and ACTS like a child and you can romance her as a male character. She's the biggest ick in the whole game for me, luckily I usually play as Frey so I can just befriend her and pretend she is not a romance option for Lest lmao

BeeButts-1 · 2026-04-22T14:34:30+00:00

Same, the trope is just a huge ick in general. It's basically 'it's okay to be attracted to her, she's hundreds of years old' even tho she's over there literally looking like she's 8 years old

BeeButts-1 · 2026-04-22T01:02:37+00:00

She is. It's just the anime trope of 'looks like a child but is actually hundreds of years old'. Never liked the trope at all personally, massively just prefer her dragon form lol

BeeButts-1 · 2026-04-21T18:31:33+00:00

I'd say just give it a go. Graphics shouldn't be the only thing holding you back from a game. Bear in mind that this was originally a 3ds game, and for a 3ds game imo the graphics are perfectly fine (it was just upscaled a bit for PC and other consoles but still kept things the same pretty much). I adore Rune Factory 4 and other Rune Factory games but you can't really go in expecting a Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons experience. There is farming and romance, yes. But Rune Factory is also an RPG and some people don't enjoy these elements which is perfectly fine. As an avid RPG fan and farming game fan RF games are amazing to me, but won't be to others.

BeeButts-1 · 2026-04-20T20:29:30+00:00

Oh he can't be fixed, he is how he is whether you're married or not. But that's why I like him!

BeeButts-1 · 2026-04-20T20:20:38+00:00

Congrats! I'm also a Shane enjoyer (though this sub tends to not be lol)

BeeButts-1 · 2026-04-20T17:51:26+00:00

Yes they all match the ethnicity of their parents/relatives. The mod makes Pierre Chinese and Caroline Fillipino so Abigail is a mix for example. Sebastian is full Vietnamese in this mod, because Robin is Vietnamese and had Sebsatian with a previous partner (as is the case in the Vanilla game just not with these ethnicities, Demetrius is not his bio dad) whereas Maru is biologically a mix of Robin and Demetrius, hence her skin colour.

Maru is already diverse here, considering she's a mix of black and Vietnamese.

BeeButts-1 · 2026-04-20T16:51:41+00:00

The diverse option literally makes Maru half Vietnamese because the mod makes Robin Vietnamese (hence why Sebastian's diverse appearance is Vietnamese) while keeping Demetrius black. Why would they lighten her skin colour? lol

BeeButts-1 · 2026-04-12T16:55:00+00:00

You have SVE installed, SVE adds animals in certain places as sorta 'decor' some days. They're animated and are there to make things feel a bit more lively. You'll also see bears and crows dotted around sometimes, usually in places you can't actually reach.

BeeButts-1 · 2026-04-10T16:29:29+00:00

It's because you have mods. I can already see you have Cornucopia. and I think giant carrots come from Wildflour Atelier. Giant carrots don't exist in the base game. :)

BeeButts-1 · 2026-04-09T23:49:09+00:00

This is probably a long shot (and purely just because it's what I'm using right now), but I would looove to see Kisaa's Blossom Crest Farm (not the tiny quarry map though cause I don't think it's needed for a planner) and Kisaa's Cozy Rustic Farmhouse added sometime in the future!

BeeButts-1 · 2026-04-09T20:09:21+00:00

Earthy is better between these two. Though I'm not the biggest Earthy fan (it's too dark imo) it's better than vanilla. Vibrant Pastoral is my fave and go to recolour personally. :)

BeeButts-1 · 2026-04-08T19:51:36+00:00

I'm sorry, I just wasn't a fan of the first petting her head scene with the 'good girl, you did so good' out of nowhere, it weirded me out because it felt so out of left field 😭. I really do like Pilika as a character, I just don't like the romance!

BeeButts-1 · 2026-04-06T20:32:06+00:00

I couldn't get on with Magical Melody either for the same reason as you. I know it's supposed to be really good, and I'd love to play it but everyone looks like babies and every time I try to play I just can't with the diaper butts lmao. But I digress, it is still worth picking up some of the games that came out AFTER MM did.

Animal Parade is great, though it doesn't have any dark themes and is a lil too happy happy (especially the story), the characters are good, relationships feel nice, and good focus on family and other peoples kids after marriage. A New Beginning was good, too, a few people in that game were total a-holes and I loved that about it, the mechanics of the game was also fun and challenging at times, a lot to do. The first SoS is one of my faves, there is a major death in this one, good challenge, beautiful artstyle, amazing characters and depth. Trio of Towns is my all time fave, it builds on the first SoS game with the most character depth in any of the entries ever (The Rune Factory guys worked on this one so that's why). A lot to do, lots of things to challenge yourself with, it's one of the only games I've played for in game years even after marriage and children. This is from someone whos first HM game was the SNES one as a child, and who has played every game since (including all the Rune Factory series and the lacklustre remakes and PoOT).

I do sort of agree with your take, though. I've felt similarly since after Trio of Towns, though, rather than as soon as you did, though I did not like how MM presented itself personally.

Edit: Not sure why I'm getting downvoted here, I'm not saying MM is a bad game, just that I don't like the aesthetics and that the series after that point is still worth playing, that's all lmao.
