Stardew: A Big Help

Posted on by

It’s actually a little surprising that we had to make a concerted effort to get this achievement, but then again, this was the same farm that we first started as only a Joja challenge. So our first year in game was dedicated to making money as fast as possible so we could then get the Joja achievement and ditch this farm for a different community center one.

It wasn’t until we realized we could duplicate the save from the point of right before going Joja did we realize this would be our Stardew farm for quite a long time.

I miss playing with her those Saturday nights, but it was a fun tradition during a time of chaos in the household that we’ll always have and cherish. We still have the farm too, so once things calm down again, even though now she’s away at college, we’ll be able to return to it. Just, perhaps, remotely.

Stardew: To the Bottom!

Posted on by

Snow and I had a plan, we just needed some time to actually execute that plan.

You see, the days of us staying up super later on Saturday nights had to end as I began moonlighting at another job, so the Stardew screenshots are going to slow down, at least the ones with Snow, going forward. But not before we managed to schedule some time during the Easter weekend to finally get to the bottom of the desert mine.

Qi may have lightly teased us about using staircases to do it, and I wish I’d grabbed that screenshot, but after that he offered us a rare health boost potion!

So yes friends, it is worth it to eventually get to the bottom of the desert… even if you have to “cheat” by using stairs.

Caturday New Year’s Zonk

Posted on by

So like some other holiday pictures, this one will be the last New Year’s 2021 picture that shows up because a cat got involved.

While there will be other posts scheduled earlier, for the record, this is the first post where TJ’s girlfriend gets her own tag on the blog: Fox. Her favorite animal and also the partial name she uses online when gaming, so it seemed fitting.

But yeah, the eldest teens zonked the earliest.

In TJ’s defense, he’s not really used to staying up late these days (as of my scheduling this) as he works really early at the local gas station making donuts.

Lady Grey thought they looked cozy though, so she decided to join them.

Oh, this is also where I finally fix my goof about posting on Saturdays rather than Sundays for my Caturdays. For whatever reason WordPress decided to rearrange their calendars and make Monday the first day, and I just now noticed it. So hopefully going forward I’ll remember and schedule the Caturdays on the correct day.

Oh well, at least we’re still getting cute cat posts.

Christmas (2011) Caturday

Posted on by

I get it. It’s August, but this cat picture is from Christmas and so I’m scheduling it for the next available Saturday as is my normal pattern.

As these are both from Christmas though, I thought I’d use them both as a bonus Caturday day.

One of the ribbons for the blankets was lying around and first the kids played with Lady Grey with it, and then they put it on her.

Later she cozied up in one of the Christmas blankets that was in the Christmas Eve box the day before.

Still plenty of evidence of chaos from Christmas on the couch here.

And this concludes, months after the other Christmas pictures, everything from Christmas day.
