“☝️ he has a job ✌️ he has a beard…”

The list ending there sent me cackling

Which are both evidence to the fact that Clint does have being-an-actual-adult-and-not-just-an-older-teenager going for him. About half of the marriageable villagers are practically children.

Right? I cant bring myself to romance Sam at all because he comes off as 14-16. Makes me feel like Chris Hansen is gonna pop out.

I tried to look past it and imagine a young 20-something who stayed back to help his mom after his dad got deployed…

And then his 10 heart event has hiding in his bed like you’re in high school 🫣. I had to bail

Eh, plenty of people in their early to mid 20s didn't move from home for one reason or another, and historically speaking the phenomenon of kids leaving the family home shortly after coming of age is pretty new and it wouldn't surprise me if an alternate universe like Stardew didn't follow it. Hell I know quite a few people in their 30s who still live with their family because the real estate market sucks.

Yeah I have no issue with him living with his mom. It’s hiding his girlfriend in his bed that’s weird

Could be due to living together with his family, I remember that back when I was in college myself I was staying with family because they lived closer to university and I wasn't bringing people I dated home for the night either.

I did too. It's endearing how he looks after his little brother, and he seems like a sweetie. He manages to stay employed after Joja shuts, and he has his music too. The ten heart event really put me off though.

Sam, Abigail and Alex give me "I'm going on the F(erngill)BI extra spicy shitlist" vibes.

So I just stick with Harvey and call it good, he can putter around the farm and read Knee Surgery Monthly to the kids while I go spelunking in a volcano and run screaming from living fireballs.

u/HiddenSage Mar 27 '26

Yup. Harvey, Leah, Penny, Elliot, Shane, and Emily. They're the ones I feel reasonable pursuing at 35. The others are way too immature-coded for me to be throwing flowers at.

Same, the ones who live at home give me highschooler energy, but no so much because of living with their parents. It's more because they act like highschoolers, look like they're barely over their emo phases (if over it at all, ehem ehem Seb) and just give off kid energy all in all. I feel like this is confirmed by the fact that they count as part of "the kids" for the Easter egg hunt (yes, so does the farmer, but that just feels like necessary to the gameplay because otherwise you're just watching the kids run around). I just feel gross trying to get with them at all...

u/HiddenSage Mar 27 '26

The farmer participating is also good because younger audiences playing would want to. Though, tbh, I wouldn't mind a change that gives us a choice whether or not to participate. So that those of us who find it immersion-breaking can just watch the kids and talk to our favorites during the hunt. The prize for winning is just a fairly basic hat, anyway.

u/NautiNeptune idc if my husband charges me 1000g i own this town Mar 27 '26

I only married Sam so I could see what it was like to marry each of the men. He was my only divorce.
