Let’s go live there

It seems like it’s been forever since welast checked in onStardew Valley, a pixel art farming life simulator/role-playing game that evokes memories ofHarvest Moonin those fortunate enough to have played it in its prime (on the Super Nintendo).

Since then, Chucklefish (ofStarboundfame) has picked it up as the publisher, and has been teasing bits of gameplay every so often. That teasing ends soon, asStardew Valleyis set to release in just under a month on PC; it is scheduled to release on February 26.

I honestly don’t know if I can get lost in a farming RPG (farmPG?) at this stage in my life. I definitely feel the draw of it, but know I can’t afford to lose as many hours to this as I did withHarvest Moonback in the day. Cursed real life responsibilities keeping me from my pixelated responsibilities.
