When You Think About It, the Stardew Valley Farmer Is a Real Weirdo

February 14, 2022 11:22 AM

Ever wondered just what the townspeople of Pelican Town think of you, the Farmer, when you do some absolutely weird nonsense like sell a single raw fish or know every single thing about them courtesy of the Stardew Valley Wiki? If so, Youtubers Matthew McCleskey and UnsurpassableZ have the hilarious rotoscope animations for you!

Other highlights include dropping the Mayor's Lucky Purple Shorts into the Luau soup , visits from Gus the saloon owner, and uncovering a saving-the-Farmer racket.

Thinking about just how you, the Farmer, come off to the people of Pelican Town is truly a delightful addition to gameplay, I highly recommend it. Like, every time I use the Return Scepter to teleport away from a random villager, I'm amused imagining them just sighing all, "there she goes, just fucking teleporting again with barely a goodbye."

Also, I have the Stardew Valley Expanded mod, among others, installed, and I'm fully leaning into being some kind of witchy farming magnate with many powers and multiple properties to farm to build my ever expanding ancient crops and wine empire.

The townsfolk themselves are plenty creepy. I still want to know what the deal is with the grandfather doll, and why Jodi has so much fertilizer to give away when their house doesn't really have a garden. Given that Kent's standard gift is explosives, I think I know what's going on there.

Niiiice.
I'm on my fourth playthrough (added Stardew Valley Expanded and Ridgeside Village) and it's still a fun, relaxing time-suck.

I do wonder what my spouse (Corine, the barmaid/ninja trainee from Ridgeside) thinks when I flop into bed with a backpack full of megabombs, raw fish, and iridium. She never asks.

Weirdo Valley. The farmer apparently isn't alone.
