It IS weird how doing chores in real life annoys you, but in Stardew Valley it relaxes you. Like, seriously. What's up with that?

[@deliquate]

well, you can do it without getting weird pain in your aging body and get rewarded with more than a pleasant view (that doesn't stay for long) ^^

[@addenanda]

if only I could move my body with a controller I would love doing chores irl

[@Luxalpa]

It's very simple; doing things with a goal feels like a chore, doing things just because you feel like it on the other hand feels great. If you go into Stardew Valley with the mindset of first cleaning up the entire yard it will probably feel much worse too, but most of the time you just go and you're like "this tree is annoying" and so you remove it without thinking about all the other stuff that you could be doing instead.

[@jwhvel]

Could be that just weeding out a small garden in real life takes a half hour and requires a lot of bending, pulling, squatting and dealing with bugs. But you can do it in a few seconds on Stardew Valley:-)

[@rivermaster6910]

lmao i love this game to death i can’t even lie. when i have a stressful day at work it’s nice to sit down have a beer and wonder why abigail is so obsessed with rocks.

[@Karthos1000]

Abigail is secretly a lithoid. Her original response to any liked gift is "how'd you know I was hungry", but one of her liked gifts is quartz. This was accidental, but rather than remove the dialogue, the developer leaned into it. Now, when you're married to her, she will sometimes ask if you're going to go to the mines, because she's hungry. For quartz, and other minerals, one would assume.

[@jito7377]

Her dad is the wizard. I don't trust her rockeating face.

That fishing minigame really is the most brutal one out there. Pro-gamer tip: sometimes you can buy the fish you need from the traveling cart that parks by the big tree in the field south of your farm on weekends

[@88LmAn]

Another tip, tap the rod instead of holding it, control the position of the slider by the speed of the taps. It's way easier to control. (I don't know if this works of keyboard, I only use controller)
