I'm jealous of Timothee Chalamet. I wanna be a cute lil twink! 😭

Yes! Someone who appreciates Bella!! She and Petri are the pinnacle of mouse designs.

Perfect timing, just finished binging all your Stardew content yesterday!

youtube is going to put the suicide hotline and the wiki page for 9/11-2 underneath the next episode

4:20 Who's this? Is there a mod that puts someone at the store counter when Robin isn't there? Are there equivalents for the other storekeepers?! 'Cause I've wanted that for like the last billion years.

You are pretty funny. Should I subscribe?

Why is every word that comes out of your mouth an absolute mood?

Was that big foot??

I had no idea this game was so dark

banger yet again

NO SCHOOL AND SALEM!?!?!??!?! great day yall

First, 19 seconds ago

First

Maybe the bear is from Stardew Valley who was brought to be sold as an exotic animal by Birdy's Husband and survived the storm and lived on Ginger Island I'm tipsy so I forgot which way was it

Lewis looks at me in a very uneasy way whenever I'm around male residents and also mutters slurs behind my back

As a mom, i didnt realize how much i would love a video on this. I loved it a whole lot. ❤

It’s wild that this ever happened because there were several off-ramps. Save data backups as offered by Nintendo Switch Online? Allowing an absentee sibling to hand over island representative status to another villager, or share it in all its features and privileges? The game was just generally user-unfriendly, burned me out before I got the concert, and then caught my sister with the inability to progress by locking her out of the island representatives position. I wish I could run a multiplayer island. Size it up a bit and have several players play as island representative. The Minecraft effect of being able to specialize on different elements of the game and share spoils.

HIPPEAUX WAS MY FIRST CAMPSITE VILLAGER TOO I HATE THAT MAN

Hiii, i am invested, please continue🙏🏻🙏🏻

I have never considered resetting for a second because my island is MASSIVE. It has the overall maximum resident count. Every house is maxed out and full. The outside is fully decorated and crazy. I spent hundreds of hours on Nookazon getting specific item variants only for HHP to give us access to them. I will never not be frustrated by not knowing that would happen. If you want to visit, search for the PoopIsland made by Kaius in the dream suite c:

We all want the lovely mommies in the game hahahaha

I am absolutely loving Miss Oranje Disco Dancer Plays Stardew Valley

My first time playing i didn't know that Jodi was a mom, wo I tried to romance her. I quickly learned a couldn't and then I moved on to caroline...

Never gonna resest. My island may be somewhat bearbones with no clear theam but its mine.

I knew fauna would win they go together so well <3

The mother in law joke was so smooth I did a double take

1:42 what about fauna? :3 or daisy? >_< or poppy! >_<

2:34 no need, bestie, we know

In older AC games, losing your town would be like a personal 9/11 and now with AC deleting your save has become part of the gameplay loop

26:56 in new horizons she’s horrible tho

I absolutely loved this video. I was just thinking about Jodi’s backstory the other day as I’m new to stardew. 😊

I never once reset my island, but also pretty much dropped NH completely once I finished off 2.0 and tinkered with some design ideas. I think I played for around maybe a month total between maybe 2-3 bursts after that, but that's it. The problem for me is that each time, I wanted to experiment with an idea, but I just could never get it looking exactly how I wanted to, and nothing like it existed online. That, and the rebuilding process is SO slow, and there's no way to undo it fully unless you carefully document how it was before AND take all that painstaking time to rebuild it again. ON TOP of actually making the bells to pay for the items, search for people who had new DIYs I STILL hadn't gotten somehow... It was just too overwhelming. The next game needs either multiple save files, multiple cartridge/save compatibility, a "town blueprint/planning" feature, or something like that. On top of that, I had the usual problems of the villagers being a severe downgrade even from my first AC game: NL. And also, I genuinely kinda hate the whole "island" vibe of NH. I'm sorry, but when I think of "cozy little town I moved to to find a new community/friends" I don't think of "beachy island hellscape where I'm living off coconuts". I don't like constantly being stressed about item durability. In a game that's supposed to be "cozy", it is extremely mentally exhausting to constantly be thinking about that and running back and forth and micromanaging it. I realized this today actually, since it's my first time playing AC GCN, where the tools don't break. They didn't break in NL either, but I'd totally forgotten what it was like to not have that looming anxiety. It was such a relief. The next game needs to be set in a pre-existing town. Either like the old games where it's by some cliffs and forest and the ocean, or let us go the Happy Home Paradise route and let us pick the biome. It needs interesting villagers, more villager types, more nuance, and more to do with them -- preferably minigames, or bugcatching, cave spelunking, diving, etc with them.... And LESS micromanaging. I just made a perfect snowman in ACGCN and the fact that it didn't have the NL lottery minigame and was just a cute little snowman I put up in my yard was SO cathartic and heartwarming and relieving that I wanted to cry. He was just a cute snowman, in my yard. Not another thing in the game trying to commodify my time/attention.

I love this game, and it’s been such a joy to explore the game searching for the lore of the world. It has a sort of Soulsborne feeling in how the information isn’t outright handed to you, you have to pay a bit of attention to pick up on the lore and tidbits of info dropped by the townsfolk. I kick myself for not trying this game sooner

i used to reset really often because i never felt like i was ever playing the game properly? (if that makes sense) i now know it was an OCD problem but honestly i would never reccomend it to anyone because it really hurts to lose all of your progress and little touches that make your island uniquely special :(

but what were they going to say about the squishmallows... D':

i think i just want lockdown vibes again. not to say they were good or that it was a nice time at all, but there was a big community on tiktok and it definitely had the excitement of a “new animal crossing game” backing it. just started a new new leaf town and ive been more capable and willing to return to that every day than i have my new horizons town. i reset in the summer of last year and haven’t even finished Project K between then and now

That video was interesting

The thing is, resetting is seen as a way for a fresh start, a way to "play the game for the first time" again. But it doesnt work. At first, it may give *way more enjoyment* then still playing on your original save, but after a week or 2, it will start to feel empty. Soon, you''ll stop playing the game entirely, and regret deleting your save. I type this from experience, as i deleted my new leaf save, and regretted it immensely.

I'm new here but, i'll give a simple retrospective on my experience with my island. I have never reseted my island, but I've taken a very long hiatus from the game in April of 2022, due to burnout. It will have been almost 3 years since I last touched that save file, and yet I could pick it up again and it would feel like home because i spent hours working on it, no aesthetics, just made it how i wanted and progressed at my own pace. Even now, I'm thinking about my island and how it was left, and I'm pretty content with what i made it, and would never reset it.

22:22 he’s just a baby :<

.. . How did I get here?! I was watching unboxing videos. I don't even play Stardew... excellent video though!

12:51 digby is a sweet little Man i love him he’s just a puppy

Wait you can’t have a separate file? What of the Switch owned by a family? They have to share the island?

My dad got my copy of ACNH for a late birthday present, a month after release. I hold my island close to my heart, all because of my dad buying the game and I can't stand the idea of deleting my save data, my island holds alot of sentimental value. Though I plan on flattening my island(for the 100th time lmao lmao). I still love this game, even after loosing the initial huzzah of the game releasing, I do enjoy seeing people on KZbin reset, redo with a new island, but I personally couldn't do it

I was like millions of other players that started my island on launch day, but later reset my game due to boredom and discovering something huge about myself (transgender) and not being able to change my character's name. After I did it, I was relieved to have a new name but felt sad about everything I left behind. Huge shocker to no one, but COVID was hard for me ! I was a junior in high school with no clear direction in my studies, and was terribly confused about who I wanted to be. But animal crossing had been an old comfort for years, with my first game being back in the wild world days. Even though my island wasn't perfect, it was my escape, and I had thrown it away. You never realize how much work you did until its gone, and suddenly I had no DIY recipes, no furniture, none of my favorite villagers anymore. Whats more is New Horizons overwhelmed me from the very beginning. The sheer amount of control allotted to us as the player was too much for me to bare. Couple that with the overwhelming online presence and "perfect islands" being shared on tiktok and instagram, I immediately shut down. Suddenly every decision I made had to put me a step closer to my "perfect island" and I found myself judging every stylistic choice I made. I soon yearned for the simpler days of New Leaf and City Folk, even though they were extremely boring to me when compared to New Horizons. I tried to revisit the game this year, but left shortly after because I was soon stuck in my endless pursuit of perfection. Maybe one day I will free myself of my crippling internal critic, but today is not that day. My New Horizon's island will remain untouched until then.

I just hate how after a while, playing the game feels like doing chores I *have* to do rather than things I *want* to do. Like the game feels so fresh when you start a new island. You have objectives, villagers are new and exciting and the Island feels like it's comming alive. But when you've played for a month, and all the villagers have repeated their dialogue 100+ times each, and all you're doing is logging on - digging up fossils and planting money trees, it get's really stale..

Salem do NOT tell me that ACNH’s 5 yr anniversary is coming up and that it’s half a decade that hurts my brain

I quit when I saw how much better people were at decorating than I was

I’ve learned that the way I played the game was flawed. What I mean is, whenever I would play it, it would be the only thing I touched on my switch for months on end, leaving me bored and underwhelmed. So, I just restarted my island after 2 years, and I’ve learned that in order to rlly enjoy it for myself, I get through what needs to be done on ACNH (the chores, maybe some decorating, keep in mind I did just restart.) and then I take a break to do something in the house irl. I never took the time to step away from Animal Crossing during covid because at 13, I felt like it was the only haven I had. Away from the troubles of my family at the time, from the pandemic, from the failing school system. It was peaceful, but I’ve learned to balance that peace with reality now.

I used to play Neopets in middle school, maybe 2001? I cant say if ill ever be back since its been over 20 years but this video gave me hope that this classic game will survive. Thanks.
