and i finally figured out how to put my thoughts into words.

I think the fact that you can only romance lance once you've at least gone to ginger island is interesting. Usually, when I see people play stardew, they very immediately run to their chosen candidate, needy, desperate, lonely... you know.

But, with Lance, it's like the mod creator is telling you. Hey now. this one here, Lance? yeah he's extra special. ya gotta work for him.

It's also a good way of forcing the farmer (me) to actually get some damn progress in the community center so I can meet the husband. the game is PROHIBITING co-dependency. That is, if you marry Lance.

My second time ever reaching Perfection, and my first time doing it in the 1.6 Update! The save file had some self-imposed challenges too! No buying from Pierre or Joja, with the following exceptions;

- Crafting Recipes from Pierre, needed for Perfection

- Rarecrow from Pierre, needed for Perfection

- The backpack upgrades from Pierre, because I don't hate myself

- The Bouquet, not a requirement but I thought it would be really funny to marry Abigail

Chapter 24 of City Crossed is out!

The farmer and her friends explore the Desert Festival, and Sebastian takes a detour back home.
