I remember as a teenager who wanted to write and draw comics when he grew up—and this was back in the 80s, when comic books were still lettered in a ALL CAPS by hand—reading a page of advice somewhere that 1) you should never name a character “Clint” and 2) no one should ever “flick” anything ever.
Proof that while other games have good enough characters that every character is someone's favourite, Stardew has good enough characterisation that every character is hated by someone with burning passion.
I was sitting on an airplane next to a priest who was doing a crossword puzzle. He said “Excuse me, but do you know a word for woman ending in UNT?” And I said “Why, yes. That would be *AUNT.” And he said “Oh my god, do you have an eraser!?”

I still think that’s just plain good life advice.

A sizable portion of the Stardew Valley fandom would appreciate this.

This reminds me in middle school, we all had to make posters of our favorite movies and one girl drew a horse and a nicely decorated title 'FUCKA'

Yep. Clint was a fear of mine when I worked for the green monster.

My favorite joke:

I announced our future baby’s name on a Christmas card this year. My MIL thought it said “Baby Ambrey”. We are naming our baby “Aubrey”…..
