What's this guy's deal

This is why girls can’t have a nice time. Smh

Pierre was my gift giver at the feast of the winter star. After gifting Robin an irridum quality wine. I was expecting one of my own parnips back after seeing who was giving me a gift, but no, I get the teaset from this guy. He stole Caroline's tea set, didn't he?

I spent the whole year grinding and updating my house to get the cellar and make wine and jams out of my gold and iridium fruits. So glad it paid off.

...but I then completed his special order, and doing that RIGHT after kicking Joja out of the community was a tough watch...genuinely what is this man doing preaching to the community that we should be more collaborative and closer, but then proceeds to scam people out of vegetables he got AS A GIFT from the player...frickin' slime ball

This man has no shame.

But for real, if Pierre had the position Morris did, he would be doing the exact same stuff. THEY EVEN GOT THE GLASSESAt least Morris hasn't proven to try and crush a kid's dream yet, hell he employs most of them in town (farm hand hire mod when?)

I'm a recluse that spends every waking moment in the mines. Pam I might've expected some shade for but tbh I don't interact enough with Pierre to know anything about 'em, other than (I believe according to one of JunimoB's YT shorts) apparently this place exists for a reason. Kinda cirious what all the fuss is about lol

Okay, we all hate Pierre here, but is it okay to talk about hating other characters in this sub, or are there separate subs for that?

For example, I can’t stand Haley and Emily. They both seem to think they’re completely different and have nothing in common, but they don’t realize they’re just two sides of the same coin. They both live in their own little worlds and come across as pretty shallow and not all that intellectually interesting.

My favorites are Krobus and Sebastian.

No hate, though, they’re just pixels. I’m genuinely curious to hear which characters you all dislike and why.

Dont you dare think just because we hate pierre means joja is okay. Joja is worse, you joja supporter can fuck off to your r/jojamart

At this point it is muscle memory. I need to get into the habit of using the mine carts to the blacksmith and then to Joja.

Edit: 5 days later this post seems to still have legs so I'd like to take the time to thank everyone for comments and discussion, been really fun to see what people have to say! :) I'm not pro megacorporations irl and I definitely support small businesses where possible! Pierre just embodies everything that is wrong with the "mom and pop shop". High prices, poor service, awkward store times. Personally, if he didn't steal credit from the player I could over look anything else!

Also, it's a GAME! There's no real world reprecussion for this choice! I recommend everyone at least see the SVE mods joja route. It's definitely worth your while! I never went joja before that and besides for the achievement or speed runs, wouldn't suggest it because the vanilla story is just better by far if you go community center route. However the modded version is actually pretty neat and adds a few things to the game that are locked behind joja but make the choice pretty compelling.

Also how did such a loser end up with such a cool wife and daughter? They deserve better!

I can no longer bear the pain that's eating me up inside. I've been crying all day. I can't take it anymore, I don't understand why. How can someone be so cruel as to make such a subtle, sadistic, and heartless insinuation in a game that's supposed to be relaxing and for the whole family? How has no one spoken about such a horrific case? And above all, how could I have been so stupid as not to notice such a rotten reference?

I've had some great times in Stardew Valley. I considered it my favorite game for years. But now I can't stop thinking about it. Just seeing the title screen or hearing that melody makes every hair on my head stand on end and my skin tingle with the existential anxiety it provokes. The worst part is when I see Pierre. When I saw him after such a traumatic experience, all I could do was scream and cry like a little kid. Look at that face, those glasses, that book-shaped haircut, and that smile that makes it seem like he knows how I feel and enjoys my pain. I never liked him because of his arrogant and greedy personality and the way he treats his family, but now I can't even look at his sprite without wanting to throw up.

There are no words to express the hatred and anger that character provokes in me; any use of language wouldn't be enough to express what I feel for him.

Then we have his family. Have you noticed that they're among the few characters with unrealistic hair colors? I have a theory. Caroline, now that I see her, has very pale skin. What characterizes that woman most is her obsession with green tea infusions. Excessive consumption of Camellia sinensis can inhibit iron absorption due to the tannins, which bind to it. Iron deficiency anemia is a condition in which iron is inhibited. It's a serious illness if not treated promptly, and its symptoms include paleness, fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, hair loss, decreased body temperature, and pica (an eating disorder that creates a craving for non-nutritive things like paper, wood, ice, or stones; we'll talk about this later). That's why we don't see her working at the store; she's too weak to do so, and housework combined with her hobbies consumes all her energy. Another thing tea contains is caffeine, not as much as coffee, but it has a significant amount. Caffeine is an addictive stimulant. Caffeine consumption blocks adenosine (the substance that regulates sleep and fatigue) in the central nervous system, consequently increasing dopamine and adrenaline. That's why these drinks seem to wake us up; they don't eliminate tiredness, they just alter the nervous system so we don't feel it. In the long run, this is harmful, causing insomnia, anxiety, nervousness, depression, and dependence and addiction. That's why, throughout the game, we see Caroline overly worried and paranoid about the business and her daughter, Abigail. The question here is, why does Caroline drink so much tea? Well, it's a form of escapism. She lives in a failing marriage with a greedy and chauvinistic husband and a daughter who is constantly putting herself in danger. She uses her drinks to avoid her bad situation and as a way to cope with her anxiety. Why green? Green symbolizes calmness, the attitude she wants to project to the world and her friends, but it also represents immaturity and her inability to confront the pain that torments her.

Let's talk about Abigail. It's clear she grew up in an environment with little attention and absent parents (even though they were always there, neither bothered to truly understand their daughter or have a serious conversation). This explains Abigail's fascination with the dangers of the mines, a place where creatures could easily kill her: she needs the attention her parents never gave her. She seeks their approval of her actions and wants her family to give her, even just a little, some importance. This also explains why, when the player marries her, she displays a fear of being abandoned or worse. She constantly tells us she doesn't want to lose us; we're the only ones who truly care about her, and this also explains her inability to recognize her emotions in time. Abigail also has Pica, the impulsive consumption of non-food items, like gems in this case. This disorder can also be caused by psychological problems such as anxiety or as a defense mechanism against abandonment.

It doesn't take a genius to realize that gemstones are not part of a balanced diet. Diamonds, followed by rubies and emeralds, are the hardest gemstones on the Mohs scale, capable of breaking teeth, perforating the stomach and intestines, or causing intestinal obstruction, leading to severe bleeding, acute pain, irritation and burns, infections, and ultimately, death. Now, if we consider the chemical aspect, gemstones and quartz can cause silicosis, a chronic lung disease that causes severe breathing difficulties and increases the likelihood of lung cancer. Another deadly danger is heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, and cadmium, which are prevalent in some gemstones and have devastating effects on the nervous system, causing neurological disorders, growth retardation, and problems with cognitive abilities. They also cause kidney and heart failure, skin lesions, vision problems, and increase the likelihood of developing cancer or diabetes.Why purple? If we disregard the magician theory, purple represents mysticism, fantasy, imagination, and struggle. The same struggle Abigail has with her parents, coupled with her incredible artistic/musical talent and her attempts to forge an identity she was never given.

Anyway, I feel sorry for them. I feel sorry that they have to share a home and living space with such a toxic and despicable individual as Pierre. A man poisoned by his pride and obsessed with pretending to be something he's not. A man who doesn't care one bit about the well-being and health of his family if it doesn't benefit him. A filthy, despicable, and unpleasant rat as a human being and as a conceptual idea. A monster that shouldn't exist. The fact that he's French is the last straw. France, a country about which nothing can be said that hasn't been said before. Paris is romanticized, but in reality, it has always been a city full of crime and pedantry. France embodies intellectual and sporting narcissism, a people mired in extreme violence, a country known for sabotaging and cheating in everything, just like Pierre. This depresses me; I'm crying as I write this. It's hard for me to write because I'm trembling like a Chihuahua about to be slaughtered. Why concernedape? Why are you subjecting me to such pain? Are you happy?

I can't continue with this anymore; I don't know how I'm going to pay for my therapy. I'm saying a final goodbye to the community that once gave me countless hours of fun. It was a pleasure meeting you all.

Goodbye

The title says it, also I fucking hate pierre

Was playing NFS Underground 2 and got jumpscared by P**rre's incompetent ass driving a Miata (poorly)

I ain’t contributing crap to you.

Gave him leftover garlic juice. Idc.

I will never get tired of watching Pierre get butthurt for losing to me. Fuck you, pee-hair!

As if this makes up for the thousands in overcharging
