#StardewValley #ThoughtOfTheDay

COFFEE!! Coffee is an amazing in #game item. The crop & the seed are the same thing, once brewed the product is a good item to sell, gives a speed boost when used, & is a liked gift for most of the villagers. It might possible be the perfect crop!

What happens when I deliberately choose the wrong answer during Pierre's 6-heart event in #StardewValley? I discover his SECRET STASH, tell Caroline, and lose 500 friendship points (a full 2 hearts) in the process.

Was it worth it? You decide.

Gift giving to raise friendship is a core system in the #game. Many things, from cutscenes to recipes, are link to Friendship level. I use my coffee strategy for mid to late game friendship gains.

What are your favorite ways to raise friendship?

#StardewValley #ThoughtOfTheDay

At character creation you can choose which in #game pet you will adopt. During our latest playthrough we refused to adopt the pet. It is strange how a small choice changes how the game feels. On a rainy day, the house feels empty without the pet.

As your farm grows, many players use machines to increase raw material value. Where you place these machines impacts your work flow and farm aesthetic.

Where do you put your farm production machines? Outside, inside, around the valley?

Farm Organization, there are many strategies, styles, & layouts to consider when building your farm. Crops, sprinklers, harvesting, navigation, buildings, etc. all play a part in how you build your farm.

What are your farm layout priorities?

Character Customization is a mainstay in #gaming. Making the main character your own adds to immersion within the #game.

How much time do you spend in your character setup? Do you have favorite hair, colors, accessories, or other options?

#StardewValley #ThoughtOfTheDay

Play... Fun... A couple of terms we use a lot when describing #games. These terms are subjective & personal. #Gaming as an activity fulfills many needs, from entertainment to emotional, from belonging to support.

Why do you play games?

Combat & Mining... These skills go hand in hand. Once you reach the bottom of the mines you choose your floor with the elevator for future mining runs.

What floors, enemies, or resources are your favorite when you head back to the mines?

Different playstyles are a hallmark of Stardew. Some will use external resources, programs, techniques, mods, or sticky notes to aid their #gameplay.

Good or Bad? From a certain point of view? Player Perspective?

Characters & Story in #games carry a lot of weight. Some of it comes from the narrative, some from the player experience.

Is there a #game character that resonates strongly with you?

#StardewValley #ThoughtOfTheDay

Production, Consumption, & Investment. Many #Game systems link to these concepts. Balancing #gameplay often comes down to fun wrapped around resource management (time, energy, money, etc).

Where do you balance your short term vs. long term gains?

Early #game energy recovery is a challenge. While this improves & becomes inconsequential later in the game, it can have a huge impact at the start.

What strategies, techniques, or practices do you use to recover energy when you first start out.
