I posted about the farm I’m using to get through depression and I wanted to do an update post too. It’s year 2 fall and I’ve had a lot of weird luck with this play through.

I’ve had at 4 fairies visit, completed the community center, unlocked all the mastery levels, got ginger island up with a huge amount of pineapples growing, and fully upgraded the galaxy sword. I know it’s not a rush for this stuff, but I’ve put in 1100 hours into the game and have a hard time taking it slow when I know what I ‘should’ be focusing on to progress.

As far as mental health goes: Prior to playing this I have had a hard time getting myself to cry although I’ve been needing a good sob for a while now. I finally had a breakdown and have cried several times, which felt like a necessary release of all the pent up feelings I’ve had.

I’m not sure how much longer I’ll play before I decide I’m finished with the playthrough. I’ve already 100%'d two other farms so I don’t think I’ll attempt that again.

Bonus: Krobus is my roomie

    I’m on my 4th perfection run right now. One for each community center and joja on windows. Now that I’ve made the switch to Linux I’m doing one each on Linux too.

    Those good cries are cathartic. I’m glad you were able to release some of that. Good luck with your mental health friend!
