It has been an interesting week for PC technical issues:

Stardew Valley suddenly couldn't connect online. I play this with my fiancee who lives in another country so it was particularly vexing. Turns out it was a Linux update to 'glibc', a rare update from them that knowlngly broke user-space (A Linux dev no-no). It actually broke Discord too but you didn't see that because Discord got a fix in place in a hurry.

And the
Vivaldi browser developed a weird habit of opening KDE's shortcut page in Settings every time it was opened. The culprit here is Chromium, upon which Vivaldi is based, seemingly having introduced this bug in the recent update to v134.

Workarounds are now in place for both, soothing my sanity.

Stardew Valley ForumsLinux - Galaxy API not loading with glibc 2.41Description: The Galaxy API is failing to load after a recent update from glibc 2.40 to 2.41. Downgrading the C Library fixes the issue, proving it is the recent version that broke the Galaxy API. The failure to load the API causes the inability to communicate with the Steam APIs causing the...

How about an "Invasive Plant" mod for #stardewvalley? Plant a banana tree in Pelican town? Uh oh. They are taking over!

Bring your cat to Ginger Island? Seems cute but now all the birds are gone! Leo falls silent again. But you can fix it by crafting a cat tree and keeping the cat inside.

This game has too few bugs.

... maybe I should take a break for this game... or the news. Or both.

#StardewValleyJournal
Day 27: So, I was pretty anxious going into this day. It's been a while since I played so I was stressed about wasting too much time getting my bearings again.

Fortunately, I had my journal to refresh me and help direct today's activities. I started off by harvesting my parsnips and dropping those in the sell-ma-bob-box, watered the rest of my plants and then I then pet kitty, watered kitty, and checked my tapped trees. Nothing yet.

I got a notice when I woke up that my copper axe was ready, so I set off to Clint's place to pick that up. I arrived a little early, so to kill the time I rummaged through his trash. I found... (dramatic pause)... trash.

Went in, got my axe, and headed off to the mines. I want that iron. Took the elevator down to floor 25 and set off slaying monsters and nabbing ore things. Found a Forest Sword, so that was a nice little upgrade. Also, several floors just straight up had ladders leading down before I even swung a pickaxe or my sword, so I managed to go down 10 whole floors in one day.

The area I'm in right now is super dark and there's shadow monsters... very creepy... very I like :)

Still no iron, but my Stardew Valley addict child has informed me that I won't find iron until floor 40. So... I guess I'm getting close.

Came home, dropped stuff in a chest, and checked the weather for tomorrow. Looks like there'll be a light breeze and some pollen. Meh.

I leveled up my combat to level 3, and my foraging to level 4... which gave me the tapper recipe... which confuses me... because I've already tapped trees. I guess I'll need to review my journal to figure out where I got those.

Honestly, my payday felt kinda weak for the parsnips. I feel like I need to plant a whole lot more next season.

Tomorrow I will get to floor 40.

What would it have been like if you played #stardewvalley in the 1990s? No wiki, no "let's play" videos, no tips, no hints.

But, this vast game obviously full of secrets and much more sophisticated than any games of the time. (The combat, for example, in stardew valley isn't all that, but by 90s standards it would have been described as "action packed" and "intense")

Would the 90s experience of stardew be better or worse?

Brandy led to this enlightening discussion; https://bsky.app/profile/ellyrieve-lvk.co.uk/post/3lkjpflvxzs2w , which eventually prompted this Fabio style fan art of Elliot. The idea just would not leave me alone otherwise.

Don't drink and look for art references at the same time lol.
