I’m looking for islands to visit. I just got peaches last night, but I already had apples, pears, and coconuts.
I know I’m missing some fruit, but haven’t found it on a random island yet.

My wife used to enjoy this game until her mother started playing. I should ask her about playing again.
It’s my chill out game. I have heard people talk about Stardew Valley, but I can’t seem to find the physical cartridge, and I’m ideologically opposed to completely digital licensing.

They have a US website too if you happen to live there
Enjoy this fantastic game !
I love Stardew! Definitely my favorite chillout game, but I think it’s a little bit less chill than Animal Crossing because it feels like there’s never enough time to do everything in an in-game day.
I only ever played the PC version of Stardew. This might not be totally accurate, but I understand it started on PC.
I’ll have to look into that. If it’s on PC, I can get it and play it with Proton/WINE.
Stardew runs natively on linux
Sweet! 🥰
You will have to see if you like it though, as it can be a bit different from animal crossing. It has a similar vibe to it though
Make sure to look at mods! Stardew Valley has a ton of awesome mods, ranging from full on expansions to replacing the game with Pong.
No idea how available they are but I know they exist. I also know many releases on Switch were made in limited numbers and thus are really expensive on the secondhand market.
GOG also has it DRM-free if you decide to go the PC route.
Back when I was playing it, I believe it’d work just fine without the steamapi DLL if purchased through Steam.
Plus, the modding scene is big enough that these days you can pretty much compile the PC version of the game from source, assuming you can find a suitably cleaned up decompiled version of it. (Do pay for a license if you go this route, it’s definitely worth the price.)
No idea about the Switch port. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s harder to find though due to the Switch being more locked down in general.
Yeah, it’s generally up to the publishers if they want to use DRM on Steam or not.
Still GOG lets you download offline installers. Then you can archive them however you please. It’s probably worth something for someone not keen on borrowing digital licenses. Only real thing you’re giving up is Steam achievements.
My experience with it on Switch is great. Couldn’t tell it apart from PC honestly and it is well suited for handheld play. Guess it all comes down to availability of cartridges. One thing with the cartridge though is that when Nintendo kills off the patch servers and you decide to play again, it will most likely be whatever version is on the cartridge (still better than no game!). Normally this doesn’t bother me one bit, but this game has gotten a lot of updates adding a significant amount of content. An archived installer from a version you actually played will probably feel more worthwhile to revisit in 15 years or whatever.
I’m hesitant to ask…but what did her mom do that made her stop playing?
If no one else opens up their island for you, I’ll open mine after work (6-8 hrs from now). I haven’t played in ages but my island does have all the fruit.
That would be amazing.
As soon as I saw peach trees on that island last night, I started eating some and digging up the trees for transplant. 🤣
Shoot, I got home and the switch has zero charge. I’ll let it charge and then if you’re still fruitless I’ll try again tomorrow.
I’m not sure what all else I’m missing.
You need oranges and cherries? I just loaded up my island
Yeah, I think those are the ones I’m missing.
If you send me a code, i can pop over and drop fruit and some extra recipes. Probably 5-6 pm est?

Send me another code and I’ll go right now!
