i am an artist. and like every artist, i have my muse

@lapis the iron pencil statues yearn for the farm mines

my stardew math wonkery has devolved into haleyposting. as it should

@lapis she has videos on every marriage candidate, say goodbye to 30 hours of your life

@lapis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlCAOJKTC80

she has a three hour video on shane and it is only part 1

@lapis have you ever seen Fiona Sangster's stardew valley character deep dives? they're quite enjoyable and made me like most of the characters a lot more

Personally I think Haley at the beginning of the game hadn't learned what empathy is yet. She genuinely doesn't understand the world outside of herself. Her character arc is her interest in the player causing to learn to start thinking about how other people work and that differing perspectives are valid.

I don't think she realizes her comments at the beginning of the game are kind of cruel.

Also my experience with Haley was unusual. I didn't have the usual dialogue you are supposed to have where she insults you when you first meet her. My time ever talking to her was when she takes pictures in Cindersap Forest and the game says "she does not seem to notice you are there." And I was like "oh cool, we stan a queen who is autistic about her hobbies"

That being said, if you don't like Haley because she is an ass when you first meet her that is fine. Ignorance is not a defense for cruelty.

@cam @lapis if demetrius didn't have that two-heart event he would be one of my favorite NPCs in the game

@lapis I'd be pretty surprised if I end up liking sandy more than haley, after marrying haley I am very Normal about haley

@cam @lapis reported.

@cam @lapis i'll concede that one

@lapis @cam reported for emily slander

@lapis to get perfection you need to buy four items from the wizard which cost, in total, 12,500,000 gold. so you need some kind of late-game money source

ancient fruit isn't the only viable late game money source, i admit. its just the most popular one

@cam @lapis finally someone with fucking TASTE

@lapis I remember coriander and tawaret were having a conversation the other day talking about "who on earth was hoping to marry sandy" and i was like, me! i was! ​

@lapis incorrect. i like sandy a lot and am going to marry her once 1.7 drops so she is innocent and perfect. i am not biased.

@lapis I played the first one it was pretty good. i liked ghost trick 1000000x times more

@lapis ancient fruit will always eventually outsell star fruit but it takes about 4-5 months, at minimum, for ancient fruit to outsell star fruit. given that the typical casual perfection run is anywhere between 4-7 in-game years this is a reasonable time frame for a non-speedrunner or challenge run youtuber

however, when the farms get larger ancient fruit takes considerably longer to overcome star fruit because of the time spent turning ancient fruits into seeds. A greenhouse with four iridium sprinklers and ancient fruit will only outsell a star fruit farm of the same size after almost 3 years, which starts to be an amount of time that might not be worth it

EXCEPT a star fruit farm of this size is a MASSIVE initial cost because of how expensive star fruit seeds are. A greenhouse full of star fruits and iridium sprinklers that you constantly replant, turning all into iridium-quality wine or selling unaged wine if all casks are full, will lose over 100k in profits from seed purchases alone. It takes more than 1 in-game month for such a star fruit farm to start returning profits

You tend to have 100k to burn once you get a late-game wine farm going so i don't think a star fruit farm at a large scale is practical for the casual player seeking perfection. But for speedrunners and challenge runners who can easily perfection in two years star fruit is the clear better choice

TL:DR pierre did it send him to jail
