Intro:

[Meta]Something just hit me. We're a fandom for a popular game that's been around for years now and we have no famous controversy tied to us, are not regarded as toxic and have not generated a 'push back' negative reaction despite the fact that we're always recommending the game and gushing about it

Replying to @astersunfl What do you think about Elliot’s 10 heart event? Are there more reasons I’m forgetting? #StardewValley

  1. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!!! This might be the most proud I've ever been of a video I hope you like it!! What community should I cover next if I do this again??

  2. God, one look at the Nexus will tell you there's plenty of unwholesome… well, maybe holesome…. content for Stardew. I've been modding Stardew since before SMAPI was the standard, and the NSFW mods have ALWAYS been a staple. Whether it's nude mods, extensive adult themed event expansions, or even the opportunity to raise naked people as cattle, the Stardew modding community has you covered. Or uncovered, I guess.

  3. And here I was thinking I wouldn't know most of the war crimes 🤣 The crochet one was huuuuge. People love doing pixel style work so the idea that you could achieve it with a crochet hook alone was huuuge. It would be like saying you could make something with a bead loom but you actually have to glue the beads to make a shape; it's valid for a craft, but not at aaaall the same thing.

    Also I totally thought the war was going to be about the sad af situation with Krobus and the shadow people 🥲 Poor guy.

  4. Love this, the geneva convention violation is by far the funniest patch note I ever read back in the day besides sims patch notes lmao.

    Also got jumpscared HARD when you spiced up the "you think my name is jake but its not" part of your intros when my deadname happened to be the one you whipped out, it was hilarious though ngl

  5. I’m almost surprised that in the lighting round, Blake didn’t mention the whole Haley putting up posters in the community center asking for girls or a cute boy to bring her weird things like either cave carrots, eggplants, super cucumbers, squids, etc. and her reasoning is “you know what’s it’s for”.

  6. I think this is a good Topic series. Fandoms can be anywhere from Wholesome to Committing War Crimes for their favorite character getting an ouchie.

  7. This man is one of a handful of creatures keeping my mind from unraveling from the amount of homework that is due in 3 week and my hubby not being around for a week.

  8. Come on, be fair to Trump. He isn't gonna embezzle money for he gold statue, he's gonna fund it himself solely to piss off his haters – and he's gonna make he ethically sourced gold not because he cares about the cause THAT much but because it makes it even more expensive and thus even more of a troll.
