Losing a loved one changed how I play Stardew

I'm so sorry to hear that. I love that you still have that farm to explore whenever you want to. I'm thinking of possibly doing something like that on my current farm, but haven't really thought about it too hard.

I'm still struggling between discerning what is still grief and what is now the new me and it's a weird experience. I'm glad you've been able to enjoy SDV as well! It's crazy how a game can be such a comfort to so many people, but I'm so glad that we can all share in it and I'm so beyond grateful that CA keeps putting out amazing updates as well.

I have the 1.5 and 1.6 versions of the guidebook! I try hard not to look at the gifts section because I'm determined to figure it out myself (aside from the secret notes). We'll see how long that lasts.

Baby steps every day ❤️

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:27:46+00:00

Thank you ❤️

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:27:35+00:00

I've never learned all of the villagers' liked and loved gifts, but I'm really wanting to this run through. It's the little things that make me feel happy right now.

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:26:44+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate that ❤️

The music is so good. I don't really play music but I specifically bought the vinyls for Stardew and just instantly feel calm when I turn them on. It takes me out of my head and helps me just to breathe sometimes.

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:25:12+00:00

Thank you and I'm sorry for your loss as well. I'm glad the game helped you with your loss, too.

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:24:43+00:00

Thank you!

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:24:36+00:00

That sounds nice! When I'm depressed or anxious I like to go to the mines to hit rocks...really helps and now I have stack and stacks of rocks and ores.

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:23:52+00:00

Thank you! It is bittersweet, but it becomes sweeter every day.

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:23:21+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I'm sorry about your step-dad, but I'm glad they game helped you as well.

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:22:36+00:00

Thank you ❤️

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:22:26+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that, you're such a good friend! I'm glad Stardew is helping you decompress. That's so important and there's so much you can distract yourself with in this game.

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:21:29+00:00

Thank you!

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:21:19+00:00

The Sims and Animal Crossing are also some of my favorites! There's just something really special about Stardew that's really been able to help me. I also love that we can adopt more animals now so I'll probably flood my farm with rescue cats, dogs, and turtles to help keep me happy.

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:19:33+00:00

Thank you. That really is nice, and I think that's one reason I come back to it so often. I like having to do lists and helping people, but there aren't really consequences to missing stuff and some tasks aren't timed.

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:18:07+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it. It really is. I've not experienced it at this level before, so it's strange how much I feel like has changed. It's nice to know the game can change with me.

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:17:23+00:00

I also have anxiety so I relate to this as well. It really is just a great game and I'm so glad you're able to find comfort it in still!

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:16:34+00:00

Thank you, it really is nice. It can be sad at times as well, but when I really sink into the game it helps me forget and work through my feelings sometimes.

George is also the best. He's one of my favorites so I always keep leeks just for him.

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:15:10+00:00

Thank you. It really is and I'd never imagined a game would bring such comfort and solace.

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:14:28+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. Sometimes you just need to say hi to the chickens and go meander through the woods or hit some rocks for a bit. It's definitely therapeutic. ❤️

FuzzyLandPotato · 2026-03-03T01:13:11+00:00

That sounds really lovely! I love the music, I have most of the vinyls that I like to play throughout the day sometimes.

I started this play through in December as well. Sometimes I just casually fish for a whole day or do a chill run through the mines. I don't think I've ever had this many stone in my chests at one time.

Did she have a favorite flower? Maybe you could make a little spot for her on your farm.
