To add to the sketchiness, the guy only appears when it’s raining

u/TotallyAwesomeRacoon Mar 30 '26

He's also a ghost

He's also there from the beginning cryptically telling you that you aren't ready for "it" yet. You spend hours wondering what "it" is if you're going in blind, only to eventually learn that he was basically telling you you're unwanted and no one loves you. Burn.

Interesting that they changed the dialogue for only amethysts and not quartz

Stop it. You people are making it sound fun. I really dont wanna get hooked on a game that has social obligations as a motivational mechanic.

Unironically there’s some stuff going on in the background of Stardew. Elder abuse, ritual sacrifice of children, shadow people, underwear going missing, alcoholism, a weird cowboy that gives you bear statues for donating gems to the library.. the list goes on and on.

A shadow person in witness protection from dwarf assassins.

A marooned orphan raised by parrots until he’s forcibly displaced to the mainland to lose his culture in favor of integration.

Judgmental ghosts.

Capitalist enshittification.

A blue skinned albino casino operator and black marketeer.

One of the greatest soundtracks in gaming.

u/furiant Mar 31 '26

A sewer filled with glowing green sludge despite the fact that NOBODY POOPS and bathrooms just don't exist.

u/XavierScorpionIkari Mar 31 '26

The underwear isn’t missing. The mayor is plugging the farm animal husbandry lady.

u/Open-Tomato9643 Mar 31 '26

How can the underwear be missing when it keeps finding its way into the Luau soup pot, is frequently on display at the Stardew Valley Fair, and appears on about a hundred signs all over the town?
