A Bisexual Look at "Stardew Valley" (Patreon)

This is a review, sort of? To be completely honest, I started making a Stardew Valley sheet in the style of the ones I did for Octopath Traveller and Hades and I thought it deserved an accompanying audio post.

This is less a "review" of the game and more me talking about some interesting patterns I found in game design while making the document. Stardew is a 10-year-old game that's had years of updates, and the pattern of updates has created some unique problems. It's almost like... powerscaling? Uniquely futile bandage solutions. I thought it was funny so I wanted to talk about it.

Please look at my dumb Stardew chart. I spent so long making it look nice.

Rollover anything with a black triangle in the corner for notes. And be sure to look at the tabs at the bottom of the document to switch pages! There's a lot of stuff in here.
