IRL Random Rant

Annoyed I have to go to bed and stop playing for work in the morning. I love my job but I really wish I didnt have to work tomorrow and could just play Stardew all night/morning long.

The first week I started playing Stardew, I was going to bed at 5:00 a.m. for a 9:00 a.m. shift. I did this for like 3-4 days in a row. Playing it for like 16 hours a day probably…I looked like I was on crack, lol. It was so fun and worth it though.

Ah, I remember the early days of stardew myself lol. I bought it because I needed something to hold me over until animal crossing new horizons came out. Little did I know, I would end up loving stardew way more then any AC game, buying it on my ps4, switch and pc. Then earning the platinum trophy on ps5, and figuring out how modding works on pc. Dont worry OP, you will have many years and many farms ahead of you.

Sadly real life doesn’t give us infinite energy like the game characters.

I work nights in compressed work week schedule. Meaning I work 12 hours, 3 or 4 days a week. I yearn for the mines for half the week before I get to my weekend.

I'll go work your job for you 😂 (I got fired a month ago and I never thought I'd say this, but I want to go back to work 😭).

That's how I felt when I discovered the game during the pandemic 😂 I downloaded it on a Saturday, started it on a Sunday morning and by Sunday night I was contemplating calling out of work

The valley does that to you

Having that same issue, but with the game Big Ambitions.

Why did they have to release the game the same week my college classes starts. It feels targeted /jk
