I don't need to tell you that Stardew Valley is not a 3D game, and if I do, your understanding of dimensions is unsettling to me. However, where there's a will, there's a way, as a modder has done the unthinkable by adding an extra dimensio…

If you'd asked me yesterday how I felt about Pierre in Stardew Valley, I think I would have said "fine." I don't particularly like him but I don't have any specific gripes against him, either. My biggest issue is probably that he opens his …
Stardew Valley 1.7 is a hotly anticipated patch to a game, and for good reason—it's one of the biggest indie sensations of the past decade. Riling up the anticipation is the fact that it usually takes years for big updates like this to drop…
In today's episode of "innocent AI usage goes wrong," a Stardew Valley player wastes a bunch of time and resources because a Google AI summary lied to their face... Read more.
I'm not really a Wordle person, but I'm not opposed to the daily challenge format if you spice it up a bit with a theme. I've played quite a few gaming and anime-inspired takes since the word puzzle first took off, but Stardewdle—a fan-made…
It's official—You'll be able to romance Sandy in Stardew Valley after the 1.7 update, when she joins Clint as one of two new marriage candidates. But before then, what if you want to get to know Sandy a little better? Maybe feel out her per…
God, Stardew Valley turned 10 this week, didn't it? That feels sort of wild to think about. I didn't jump into the game until around 12 months later, but that's still nine entire years that this game has been in my life. It's certainly not …
It happens multiple times a week in online fantasy reader circles: Someone says they're new to fantasy, or a former avid reader returning as an adult, or otherwise looking to join the space by asking what they should read first. The answer …
It's been a decade since Stardew Valley continued a farming life obsession that started with Harvest Moon in my childhood, and I never seem to stay away for long. That's partially thanks to ConcernedApe's endless cycle of updates, and parti…
Stardew Valley creator Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone celebrated the farming sim's 10-year anniversary last night with a fantastic video that dives into the game's past and looks ahead to its future. What shocked me most was how much the bones …

Hello everyone,Today is the 10-year Anniversary of Stardew Valley. Back when Stardew first came out, I was worried it might be a flop. Now, 10 years later, it's one of the highest rated games on Steam, and has sold over 50 million copies wo…
Stardew Valley, as of today, as temporally upsetting as it is to write this, is officially 10 years old. An entire decade! A far cry from being able to vote, but in the UK it could be convicted of a criminal offence, if such a situation wer…

Everyone has their own reasons for loving Stardew Valley: the coziness, the music, the romance, the mods. Sure, I'm deeply appreciative of all those elements too - despite all the challengers that came after its launch ten years ago today, …
It's been 10 years since Stardew Valley was released, which is hard to believe, but when you look back at the update log for the game as a whole. It certainly feels like we've been through a lot in that time. Going back to the original ve…
Can you believe it? Stardew Valley celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, and we're still talking about free updates to the farming sim that don't involve overpriced DLC or unnecessary sequels. I've learned to simply not listen when cre…
If there's one thing I'm always saying as a PC gamer, it's "I really hope nobody takes a console-exclusive series I loved as a kid that's rarely if ever been replicated on the platform I now predominantly use as an adult and creates a moder…
There's plenty to do in the vanilla valley, but the sky is the limit once you learn how to install Stardew Valley mods. With so much community support, it's an easy game for first-time modders to dive into, but modding can still be an intim…
It was only a matter of time until the cabin fever started setting in, I suppose, what with all the waiting for Stardew Valley's big 1.7 update and Haunted Chocolatier. It's a similar phenomenon to GTA 6, where the eternal waiting inevitabl…
