Doing a fresh Stardew Valley run...

[malymin]

I prefer animals to crops, so I'm going Meadowlands - a default map that comes with a free coop and bluegrass.

Normally I go with Tiller/Artisan because that's considered the "most profitable" profession, but recent changes to the game have buffed the Rancher/Shepherd profession set, so I'm going to take advantage of the buffs and pursue ranching sheep. I knooooow ancient fruit win and starfruit wine is the single most profitable thing in the game but it's so boring to do that every single run.

Normally I go for a cat for the pet, but this time I decided I want a dog as the starting pet. After all, a shepherd needs a good sheepdog, right? I can always get more pets later if I want, anyways. I went with a solid brown one and named it Lucky, after the default name for Labradors in Petz.

I'm rushing Shane's friendship (got to 4 stars in time for the Flower Dance, and doing the dance got him to 5 hearts) to unlock blue chickens sooner. I'd be more down to marry him if his spouse room didn't imply his alcoholism relapses hard... I pretty much never marry anyone, though. To quote Whoopi Goldberg: "I don't want somebody in my house."
