I WAS TODAY YEARS OLD WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT SEBASTIAN IS CANONICALLY A SMOKER AND USED TO HAVE A BONG IN HIS ROOM BEFORE THEY UPDATED THE GAME

They eventually turned it into a vase and now it's just not there at all

Tragically disappointed that the capsule in Stardew Valley doesn't hatch a blue space cow.

That's only one part of how well made it is. As someone who makes code for Stardew Valley mods, I can assure you that there's at least as much care put into the documentation and modding tutorials as there is into user experience, it's probably the best Framework I've worked with. Also the modding community is very helpfull and welcoming.

The game itself however... A nightmare for my brain, so many disrespected standards... To be expected from any shipped game.

It doesn't make Stardew Valley less of an awesome game.

Was playing Stardew Valley last night, extremely high, and realized I wanted to install some mods. I'm not new to modding games but I'd never gotten into modding SV so I went to install SMAPI, and holy shit y'all.

The love and care that was put into designing this piece of sortware. You run it and it pops up a command prompt and *it has instructions for how to use a command prompt built in.*

This is the single friendliest piece of software I've ever encountered. There's a meticulous wiki page with screenshots of exactly what everything looks like, where to click, what to type, everything.

It's designed so literally anybody can do it.

And it's designed to not be scary to somebody who doesn't understand computers very well but wants to download mods for this cute little farming game. Deadass had me crying of the amount of compassion and *care* that a whole community put in to make it so accessible, for free.

Humans are good, actually, and you can't change my mind

I keep trying to come up with a metroidvania upgrade gimmick that's even dumber than stuff like Hollow Knight requiring you to spend a charm slot to see your location on the map, or Rebel: Trasmute making it possible to unequip your own HUD (i.e., thereby removing your health bar from the screen), but always come back to the fact that in the original PC version of Bunny Must Die! Chelsea and the 7 Devils, the opening room has to be completed while exclusively walking to the left because you need a specific upgrade to be able to walk to the right. This is a game from 2006, and the bit had already reached its ultimate form – I genuinely can't think of anywhere to go from there.

You probably don't know this but they can be real dicks sometimes, for example they can drag other pikmin in the water with them in Pikmin 3 if they're carrying something with non-blue pikmins.

as someone who has never pik'd a min once ever in forever, the fact that the blue one is always the most tormented is funny to me. they're the only ones with mouths, see, and knowing this nintendo wanted to make sure that mouth is screaming as often as possible. and yet, in Pikmin 2(? might be all the games idfk) blue pikmin, being the only ones that can swim throughout the whole franchise, have designated themselves as the resident lifeguards of the pikmin military force, rescuing anyone they can from drowning. that shows that, despite the fact that the god of their universe has declared them the butt of every cosmic joke of fate, they still choose to be kind and that's why they're the best imo. coincidentally, this also helps with minimum throw runs and also I think it funny when cute little gritters get tormented

Catalogue Framework for Stardew Valley

Another quick post about Stardew modding : I made a mod called Catalogue Framework to allow Content Pack creators to easily add custom catalogues!

For modders, most of the work to add your custom catalogue is done with Content Patcher (creating Furniture to host the Catalogue and defining the Shop and its content), so you won't have to learn much to use this Framework, you just have to write the Ids of the Furniture and the Shop in a json file, everything is in this tutorial.

Please let me know if this was helpful for you!

Modular Zen Gardens for Stardew Valley

Hello again, I'm back with another mod for Stardew Valley!

I've seen some people in the comments of Updated Seasonal Buildings asking for a separate mod for the Obelisks, and I also wanted to take a shot at C# modding, so I made this mod adding a new furniture set to Stardew Valley : Modular Zen Gardens.

They are called "modular" because their border will change when they touch to connect them! (this was the hardest part to program). This mod also includes a custom catalogue (for the new furniture) that you can buy at Robin's shop and that will also connect with the Zen Gardens.

It is also compatible with Seasonal Japanese Buildings : it will replace the Obelisks with connected gardens to allow for pretty cool decoration.

If you are an artist and want to add your own piece of Zen Garden I made a tutorial on how to proceed! I can also add your creations to the mod (with credit of course) if you'd like to.

I'm all for it tbh.

The link to the article you included was really helpfull! Thank you!

The actual reason we need a revolution is because it's the only way to ever get an English spelling reform done

You are wrong for six reasons:

English is an official language in 67 different countries. You will not successfully coordinate a revolution in 67 different countries.

The lack of an official English orthography is good, actually. Academie Francais-style attempts at language planning are cringe as hell, and often ineffective. They are not the product of sensible policy, they are the product of head-up-your-ass nationalism, and their decrees usually reflect that fact.

English spelling is fine. English orthography correctly predicts the sound of words in the vast majority of cases; where it fails, it's usually because a vowel isn't reduced quite enough. It's true that you can't really reverse pronunciation to get spelling, but in almost all orthographies there are multiple spellings to a single pronunciation.

Where English spelling is truly irregular, it's typically to preserve etymological transparency, which is actually a good thing in a writing system.

English orthography is complex, but it must be so: there are more phonemic consonants in English than there are consonant letters in the alphabet used to write it, and many more phonemic vowels than there are vowel letters. If this displeases you, take it up with the Romans and their shitty alphabet; it's not the fault of English.

English orthography is also conservative, but this is also a good thing: it means it's possible to read texts written in Early Modern English, and even in some forms of Middle English, with only moderate effort. If (for instance) we used a purely phonetic writing system, English of only 300 years ago would look very strange on the page, and English of 600 years ago would be nearly incomprehensible. As it stands, a fluent English speaker can read Shakespeare with only light editing, and can read Chaucer with the help of a few footnotes. That's pretty good for a phonetic script!
