My brother-in-law just got a new computer and was excited that he again has a device functional enough to play Stardew, so we just started a new farm. This is the third farm I've played with him and we've never yet made it to Winter year 1 (together) as differing schedules always eventually get in the way. Going back to the beginning is grindy, but also a nice change of pace.

If it's their original thought, or I'm including their comment on the thing they shared, then I include the username.

If they've just reposted an image with no extra commentary, I only share the image and not where I found it. Since "where I found it" is not the original source, no attribution is necessary imho.

Thanks for digging this up.

I was having a similar problem with another game, and I had a similar desire to learn general troubleshooting rather than have someone give me a specific fix. That said, I don't know if I can help because for me it's basically butt my head against a wall until I poke something enough that it works - usually I don't know enough to understand why the thing works.

I was installing my games onto a secondary drive. The problem turned out to be that that drive had been formatted by Windows back when my computer was set up to dual-boot. Some games still ran fine in Linux, but this particular game nothing would happen when I clicked Play. On a whim I tried installing it on the primary drive with the OS, and it worked first time. So there was something about that game that didn't work with the drive formatting.

(I've since reformatted the second hard drive so that everything should now play nice with Linux, now that I no longer have Windows. Game is fine now.)

I wasn't going to plant a veggie garden at home this year. We're hoping to move soon, so it seemed like wasted effort - I rented a plot at the community garden instead. But finding a new place has been slow, so we've just put in some leafy greens in the home garden. We'll be able to eat from them even if we do manage to move before end of summer. Hopefully the heat will slow down the grass that likes to take over this bed.

The bed at the community garden came with a lot of leeks. They're very crowded (I suspect mostly self-sown) and we really need to pull some out this week. I'll keep the roots and re-plant them at home to grow new leeks.

Thanks!

Speed and luck are definitely stats I often overlook. I'll try to make use of them.

I just picked up my old farm on Switch, now that Switch has the 1.6 update. Always takes me a while to get back into the swing of a farm when I haven't looked at it for a while.

Need to grit my teeth and dive to the bottom of the Skull Cavern. I've never made it in any of my farms. Any tips?

Slice and dehydrated some!

Dehydrated mushies can be kept (long shelf life) to add to meals. Or put them through a food processor to make a powder (takes up much less space, if that's an issue for you) which is great for extra flavour in soups, sauces, casseroles, etc.

Did mine a couple of years ago after reading an article about the potential for lead in soils in residential areas.

Thankfully my yard is fine, only the drip line of the house shows elevated lead (probably was originally painted with lead paint). So we just won't put food plants in the beds next to the house.

If you can find an annual plan that fits your needs, and paying for a year at once is possible, that may work out cheaper per month.

It's been a while since I looked for a new plan, but it seems to me that the direction mobile plans are going is that the only differences are how much data and whether anything international is included. Most plans these days include unlimited calls and texts. As someone who doesn't do much calling or texting and needs like 2GB/month tops, pretty much everything has more than I need. A few years ago I was service hopping to whoever would give me a $10/month plan, but many of those have increased to $15/month.

The plan I'm currently on is no longer available to new customers, so unfortunately I can't recommend it to you.

I've never had a scarecrow wrecked. Can that actually happen?
