There's a way to make fish even more valuable now. If nothing else, you should check in with Willy while getting your rod sorted out.

I completely forgot about Emily's mind palace! I swear the different elements of this game are so David Lynchian though. Also I didn't know you could complete fetch quests in a cutscene!

I've listened to these videos on my laptop speakers and I never heard the tuning fork sound. Then one day I listened to it via my headphones and the tuning fork is extremely clear

Hey Bryan hope you’re doing well :)

there are secrets all around me but I seldom ever find 'em even when I am around 'em

House Decorations! <3

All purple rocks are worth mining. They're basically a mystery gem. There's the fourth standard type of tree you can unlock by this point, but you've yet bothered to go west of Cindersap.

YAY!

28:06 It has to be a gold star cauliflower, but yes. A regular cauliflower gets you the regular "good" result (+60 friendship instead of +120). The wiki doesn't list any items that work without having at least a silver star, and most of what does work at silver is an aged wine/cheese or a smoked fish. Looks like the only unprocessed fruit/vegetable that gives the best result at silver-star is Starfruit. If I forget to save a gold-star cauliflower, my usual plan for the Luau is trying to catch a gold-star sturgeon. 34:18 At least it's not Junimo Kart. That game is tough. I do wonder how the achievement statistics would look if both of them had achievements.

I miss your minecraft series… so I’m rewatching them. :D

At first i thought Add was the Queen, since she gave the pendant to Gray, we see through Tail that Gray loves someone with breasts and looking akin to Abaddon's statue and etc. I thought that Add (Abaddon) gives Gray her essence or something through the rest trees and etc with memories, basically making her half Gray half dead Add. But now, after that video I'm not so sure, because your interpretation why Gray was Add before is strong connection vid desire of Motherhood and her sterility. Though, then i would ask why does Gray see Tail just as a woman with breasts? I don't think it counts as a desire of motherhood... I'm torn. Upd: I'm torn cause my interpretation lacks the reason why she is sterile, while yours seems to undermine Tail imagery by Gray.

i think i've figured out perpetual: (spoilers ig) perpetual > constant > constantinople > istanbul ?

The roe, dead center of the chest: So alone. And you went to open the secret woods, and then "welp, let me not do that!" Also, you missed a spot while watering on 8. The Deluxe Worm Bin will save you a bit of trouble in the long run. Don't forget to change/randomize your bobber!

Ironically, the lost puzzle was just the one I needed help for :D Fortunately your "from the bottom and from the top" comment was enough to give me new ideas!

This was a very good run today! You have had the best luck with sword equipment!

Just out of curiosity: you can't sell things like helmets and shirts and other cosmetics anywhere? Or are they just not worth enough to be worth the effort turning them in anywhere? Because I can understand you not keeping them if it's not your thing, but you also throw away other non-valuable things sometimes for inventory reasons, like sap and fiber and stuff. Congratulations on reaching the last floor in the mines!

57:16 Oh, good time for the Lightning Rod recipe, considering we're still before Summer 13.

Speaking of places to open up, time to see about a place that I got into early by using a bench seat.

34:51 I find it so funny how almost everyone I've watched wants to solve it with staff. You don't need to use staff for it at all. Outside of grabbing the memory

I wonder when the traveling cart will become a regular visit?

The purple shorts quest is so hilarious. But also I think Lewis is kind of a jerk vis-a-vis the context for why those shorts are where they are.

32:53 Close. It's 72 (or 77 with the repeatable forms of the legendary fish). I did have to look that up, though. 1:01:35 Yeah, if only you had the shrimp with you. 1:04:39 Ah, the sort-of realization.

Someone who studies insects ('the bug people') is called an entomologist. I'm not one myself, but I really like insects, so I just happened to randomly know this nonetheless! Insects are really cool and I have always found them fascinating. I used to keep a bunch of a kind of cockroach as a pet for several years (they were of the species Blaberus atropos), and their social behaviours were incredible. It was one of the kinds of cickroaches not considered pests, and they could get very big. I still miss them, since because they are very rarely kept as feeders or pets here in Sweden mine eventually died out as I couldn't add new ones over time, and eventually they stopped reproducing as they are often very picky with their choices of partners. Maybe I'm kind of one of the bug people, at least in spirit. :p

After speaking to NPC:s you see art of them in the pause menu. With that you can more clearly see the "old man" at the end of Lillies journey. Who has a cape with a symbol on it. That being something akin to what could be seen in Lily's kingdom.

16:55 I was screaming the same thing to my monitor. I liked how you went through the ideas about why you couldn't get to the stairs and that you couldn't kill the top dude, I was surprised you didn't go down the path of "well, since this bottom dude hinders my ability to kill the top dude, let's see if I can deal with that" But nice puzzling nevertheless

1:55 Yep, it does take more exp for each level. The exp from level 9 to level 10 is 50 times as much as from level 0 to level 1. In terms of exp, Level 5 is 14.3% of the way to level 10. The halfway mark is actually just above level 7. Level 9 is only 2/3 of the way to level 10. 29:00 Well, Marble is needed for a couple crafting recipes, but none of the things you sold here were Marble. That's the only mineral that's exclusively from geodes that I can think of that has a use, and you only need to craft everything in the game if you're going for achievements/perfection. 32:30 Oh, huh. Something I didn't know about. I think your pickaxe might already be good enough. But yeah, need an axe upgrade for sure.

GG! What a love play through!

"I don't know that I want to attend the Flower Dance" - I've never even considered not attending one of the events... "But first, we are a farmer" - Allegedly...

Oh, you should have waited with the dinosaur egg. With a coop and a hatching machine you could have grown a dinosaur that will lay more eggs you can donate and sell…

This is such a great set of drops you've gotten. I'm excited for the mine runs you do. Lot of fun in this run.

Just been playing Stardew Valley for 2½ hours. What shall I do now? I know, I'll watch someone else play it for an hour.

43:30 Oh, nice. I don't think I've ever seen that weapon before. I have put Crusader on a weapon, though. You were right that it increases damage to undead. Also if a Mummy is defeated with a Crusader weapon it dies outright instead of collapsing and needing a bomb. Ah, first room complete and it's still Spring. Huzzah!

You missed the chance to bring back the torches torches torches song!

I don't think I've ever once seen you use the hoe in the mines. It's a valuable way to get resources and foragables, but only on the distinct dirt patches.

This playthrough show me so many things I never realized. Also just what a great build and that Neptune Sword is a god tier find. I wish I had gotten that early in my playthroughs. Also I am a big fan of the deadpan commentary on both the cosmetic items and some of the nature of the gifts. Sassing NPCs is always my jam, heh.

That master fisher's bundle is the exact same set of items that someone posted on Reddit recently under the title "I'm never selecting remixed bundles again" :D

"Yoink" may only be used during the act of stealing a Danish from Kent Brockman.

If you finish Cif's Challenge with 0 points you get a picture of Cif falling down the stairs that's based on the Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff stairs comic.

You are my top-3 in KZbin Recap!

Tip: There is a Community Center icon in your chest menu as well - and if you mouse over an item needed for a bundle, the icon will pulse, making it easier to find items you can donate.

Oh, you're living dangerous with that bomb on your hotbar. Thankfully, you put it away.

I'm glad I watched it. Thanks for another puzzl-ey let's play, and congrats on 100%

47:53 Huh, the cave choice already. I think it's tied to total earnings, so cheating in some money to discount books/bags would've sped this up. I'm not sure why this didn't happen right at the start of the day, though. Maybe I'm forgetting part of the trigger.

I remember struggling with the basic sprinklers. Bleaugh that surely needed a buff. Very nice route for this thogh.

You're the first farmer I've known to build the basic sprinklers.

I enjoyed watching this! The more I watched you play though the more it looked like the sort of game I'd be really bad at. these puzzles with the 4 elementals really overwhelmed me and I couldn't make heads or tails of the objectives! much easier to watch you play

Hey Brian, may I make a suggestion for a game you may enjoy for its exploration? Outer wilds may interest you.

What a fascinating game, and I love how this went out, and how flexible the gameplay is. A great ride indeed.

Huh, so 109 stars is 100% now. I guess they actually didn't reuse the puzzle they removed from the place you got the orb anywhere. At least, not yet. Anyway, interesting playthrough. It was cool seeing how much the game had changed since I played it.
