I don’t know if this is an indictment of my life at the moment or how good the game is: but I don’t think I’ve fist-bumped the air harder as I did when I caught a tiger trout and an eel, in Stardew Valley.

My thoughts so far on the game…
- Why is the fishing mechanic so frustrating?
- Why am I ignoring everything else in the game to master the fishing mechanic?
- It sucks that I picked a name for my farmer that was banned between when I started the game and an update was installed. Now my name is ****

I’m two-weeks into recovering from jaw surgery and decided to start playing Stardew Valley to help fill the time with a chill gaming experience. This games fits the bill and is really fun. It’s like taking an Ativan but involves harvesting digital corn.

This seems nice.
