River farm is best farm

Today's the day, I'm going to make a new OC! (So you can all relax and not worry about seeing my half-kitsune artsona so much)

I've had trouble getting into Stardew Valley... I don't really know why. Weird, because I do like Animal Crossing. Perhaps I could try out the mining farm as @Smth2024 picked, I do remember liking the mining part.

The problem with video game preservation is that even if it WERE possible to get every game in existence today, nobody has the time or patience to beat all of them in their life. Not to mention they might not have an interest in every single one of them either.

Mining farm is an interesting choice, I never considered that one because of how little stamina you start out with, it would be wasted on mining all the rocks away when trying to start a farm. I always went for the forest farm myself since the wood was useful and the trees were much easier to clear.

I'm pretty nervous to see I have to draw a lot of characters for my next story telling as this time I have to draw for 12 characters with multiple different poses for each characters.
The main characters have more different poses than the supportive characters and guest star characters. Not to mention the extra hand drawings A4 size for showing inside the vehicles since there is the chase scene between police and thief with vehicles.
If I count all of them, I have to draw more than 100 pictures. 😵
And I set the date of story telling day on 29 April 2024 for the earliest day and if I still need more time to finish, I will change to 13 May 2024.
I cannot be too relax during March and April 2024 as I have to draw all the characters quickly before end of March as I will start to color all of them during April and to save my time, before I draw the characters I have drawn the sketches on other paper and all the characters with same head will be drawn once and I will draw multiple different face expressions so I can edit quickly on Corel PhotoPAINT.
And after edit all the characters, it's still not finish yet. I have to print all of them and since the printer in my school cannot print in color with high quality, I have to spend a lot of money for printing on papers + buy the plastic laminating films in box since I will laminate a lot of characters and pictures and I don't want to waste the laminating plastic film from school supply.
Also, I have to print a lot of different background as the place settings on A3 art papers + I have to do some crafts for making the special features such as red laser security system made of red wool strings and cardboard paper, pop up card to introduce my main protagonist, the helicopter + the net, etc.
This story telling, the fifth story telling with diorama model is way more difficult than my previous story telling as there are more characters to draw with a lot of different poses and more different backgrounds. While preparing my drawings, I still have to find the right music for each situation and practice the dialogues from the script I have written before.
I already felt overwhelmed with my whole plan to make epic story telling with my anthro animal characters as the characters in my next story telling. I really want to deliver this story telling with my own idea and I'm thinking my students will like it very much as the story theme is about police and there will be more actions than my previous story telling. And for the first time, I will make a Credit Roll picture with A3 size that mentioned all of my characters like movie style and my sincere thank you for watching the story telling.
Wish me luck so I can finish my big story telling project right on time. 😌

@Eel spoken like a true angler!

it is beautiful

@Smth2024 tips for art? From me? You're a bold one. What would you like to know? I gathered much info on how to draw its just that I don't practice because I have no motivation and my self esteem suffers a nuclear blow every time I see my work

@Smth2024 not saying yours is wrong, more explaining why I completely ignored all the other choices save for the forest farm. Downside of that one ofc is that you have to clear all the trees, though the wood is very useful for basic crafting and upgrades.

@jedgamesguy Oh ok, good to know. I do remember that your stamina depletes as the day goes on, and that you can stop mining anytime. So I'd stop when my stamina gets low. I could try the forest farm and see if I like that more.

@MarioVillager92 ...Y'know, I'd actually like to see a whimsical version of RE as a joke lol.

Thanks! My mom is feeling mostly better I think. Now it's my turn. I tested negative for Covid at least, but I definitely have something respiratory going on. I thought it was allergies at first, but now I'm not so sure. Leaning towards a sinus infection. Or maybe it's a mix of stuff with my luck. You'll have to tell what you end up getting your mom for her birthday.

Sadly, not all games let you change the difficulty on the fly. I think this should be allowed on all but the most "hardcore" settings depending on the game and developer lol. Won't hurt to check at any rate. I personally don't think playing on easier modes is a negative; people should play their games as they see fit, after all. It's their time and copy. I'm glad you're still having a lot of fun with Side Order! While I'm not really into Splatoon, I might look up the OST since I'm up for some decent video game tunes when I'm working. As long as there are little to no lyrics.

I did watch both Sleeping Beauty and Alice In Wonderland as a kid, though I think I only owned the former. I feel like the biggest classic Disney movie I still haven't seen is the original Mary Poppins. I'll admit I didn't have much interest in it as a kid though; the real life actors + animated characters never sat quite well with me back then. Now I don't mind it as long as it's done well. I've caught a couple of classics over the years that I didn't have much opportunity to watch back in the day. Namely Robin Hood and The Black Cauldron.

Anyway, while I'm working on my fifth story telling project, I have started the sixth story telling project with human characters and forest adventure as the theme.
I used my old short story project from my 5 elemental short stories (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth) and one of my short story creation was Wood elemental.
After I evaluated my short story creation, I think I can use that for my next story telling with some changes to make the storyline better.
I still have 5 months to prepare this sixth story telling project, better I start to find the background and the music theme for each scenes.

@jedgamesguy aren't trees abundant anyway? Like, to the south of your farm. I never found myself lacking them. Just asking though.

@MarioVillager92 yeah and it depletes fast in a mine. There is a hotspring (kinda uncough, especially compared to the nice and clean one from SOS/HM FOMT) near the main mine, so it kinda mitigates that.

Happy Mario Day! Hope you all are playing one of your favorite Mario games today. Did some Mario Kart alone and with my friend today. Also wearing a Princess Peach shirt today.

Cool, it works out then.

Wow, that must be really old as it's a VHS tape. That's fine, maybe it wasn't something for you, or it's been a long time since seeing it too. I never seen My Hero Academia, some of the other anime I've seen include A Certain Scientific Railgun, Is The Order A Rabbit?, Kinmoza, Girls und Panzer to name a few. I also have on DVD the Phantasy Star Online 2 anime from years ago, I only watched the first disc, I liked it so far, remember getting it for cheap (the studio that subbed it had it on sale), and because I played Phantasy Star Online 2 when it came to PC a few years back.

I didn't even know Race Driven was on Game Boy. Another good one with some 3D trickery is FaceBall 2000, which I own on Game Boy. It also was on SNES. It was an FPS where smiley faces shoot balls at each other.

You're welcome. That sounds like a good time. Disney Speedstorm is great, only real downside are the usual F2P tropes, microtransactions and that sort of stuff. I did unlock Prince Eric, but Ariel is behind a battle pass. I did unlock Anna and Elsa awhile back just from playing. My friend plays Disney Dreamlight Valley.

One day I'll take a pic of one of the vinyl figures All of them aside from two are put away, so I could take a picture of one I have out. It's really impressive given that they're by the same company that makes the Pops.

I'm guessing that too, I rarely find amiibo nowadays, sometimes I'll see them at Target, but aside from that I don't see them as often as I did. I remember Toys R Us was the best place for amiibo. Sounds like a nice pick up.

@Princess_Lilly having looked at all of the starting layouts, yeah they're pretty abundant regardless of which starting farm you choose, but the woodland layout has less breakup of tree spawn tiles and farming areas is all.

@jedgamesguy huh so thats the difference.

Good morning.
Today is Nyepi day (Hindu's New Year) in my country Indonesia especially at Bali which Hindu peoples will celebrate Nyepi Day by doing these restrictions:
1. Amati Geni (No light, no fire, no anger)
2. Amati Karya (No working)
3. Amati Lelungan (No travelling)
4. Amati Lelanguan (No having fun activities)

All these restrictions are for improving the spiritual aspect to the God (Sang Hyang Widhi).
So unlike Western New Year and Chinese New Year that celebrated with euphoria, Hindu New Year in Bali celebrated by being silent, self control, self introspection and praying to the God. Peaceful moment for one day so that's why the access to the Bali today is closed to give respect for Hindu peoples at Bali to celebrate Nyepi day.

Happy Nyepi day!

I found funny Crash Bandicoot cover.
