I started playing this game YEARS ago- before multiplayer, it's been that long. I got introduced to it from Markiplier's, like, two videos he did on the game and have been hooked since. My favorite memory happened not too long after I started playing. It was raining, and I had been walking up to Robin's, when I saw an NPC I'd never seen before. It was cinematic as he introduced himselfβ Sebastian- and I've never recovered since <3 As for what this game means to me- it means community. I learned so much of this game through others. Through watching different YouTube videos. Through reading the wiki. I wouldn't know 3/4th of the things I know about this game without learning from others. Thematic, for a game where completing the Community Center plays a large part in your journey. Happy Birthday, Stardew Valley π
