#StardewValley #ThoughtOfTheDay

#Games come in all shapes & sizes. The variety of #gameplay, themes, genre, & playstyles is vast. Sometimes we anticipate a #game & other times we fall into an unexpected experience.

How did you discover Stardew? What is your SDV origin story?

#StardewValley #ThoughtOfTheDay

One great aspect of the #game is player choice. The direction you take your playthrough is open to your own #gameplay style.

When you consider adding Animals & Crops, do you prefer one over the other, go all in, or strive for a balanced approach?

#StardewValley #ThoughtOfTheDay

The Witches Hut is a pathway to abilities some might consider to be unnatural, Shrines of Memory,. Selfishness, and Night Terrors showcase a darker side of the #Game.

#StardewValley #ThoughtOfTheDay

Little details make a big difference. Something as simple as the TAB key to change inventory or torches on sprinklers can be a #game changing revelation.

Do you have a favorite, hotkey, strategy, or #gameplay tip that changed the game for you?

#StardewValley #ThoughtOfTheDay

#Games aren't real. This is a true statement but discounts the connections, context, & power of #gaming & gaming communities. These elements are real, the content within a #game can be related to & be real.

Games can make a positive difference.

#StardewValley #ThoughtOfTheDay

Last Names... We have the Mullners (George, Evelyn, & maybe Alex) but the rest of the characters do not have listed surnames.

Would the #game improve if the different characters and families had last names?

#StardewValley #ThoughtOfTheDay

There are 12 datable NPCs in the vanilla #game. Players have their own reasons for which NPC they pursue for dating, marriage, & raising a family.

Beyond the eligible bachelors & bachelorettes, who else would you date in vanilla Stardew Valley?
