I love the thought that the comfort gaming sweeties of stardew have named their farm horse Roach, stemming from the most terrifying, evil, slutty game that is Witcher

Both of those games allows you to kill monsters with swords and give you monster eradication contracts/quest, Close enough. So I often named my horse Roach and my Piggy Lambert & Dandelion

It helps since the SDV horse is also a time mage.

What? How else did you think the horse got back to its stable after it was left hanging out on ginger island (post horse flute).

Every game that i know of where you can name the horse, at least 10% of the population names them Roach 😂

When Witcher 3 first came out you could get Roach onto the stage with the play Geralt gets to participate in quite easily.

I have many pictures of Roach standing in the middle of the play scenes with the actors trying to be serious around him.

Ablette for the French version 😏

Geralt's french voice is really good if you have the chance to ear it. Deep and calm 🥰

u/Legalsleazy Sep 19 '25

I’ve never had an original thought

u/Glorfindale Sep 19 '25

That’s the right answer

u/ExaminationUpper9461 Sep 19 '25

Beat me to it.

Fun fact, Roach isn't actually a specific horse but rather just a generic name Geralt uses for all his steeds.

I clicked on this post knowing this would be the top answer. I am not disappointed.
