Month: September 2020

On the first day of summer, the remaining spring crops are withered, and the farm is cluttered with windfall wood, weeds, and stone. I know that on this day I will be busy planting my summer crops and cleaning the place up. None were, so I headed back to the farm. I realized that it…

Waking up on the 25th day of spring I see that my ax is ready, but it is a lucky day, so I decide to put off picking up the ax, and headed right to the mine, after doing my farm chores. Working down from level 40 to 50, I received a pair of tundra…

The next morning, I remembered it was the day of the egg festival, so I didn’t bother to watch the fortune teller. It wouldn’t have any effect on the day’s activities. I didn’t have long at the farm to work before I would get the notice that the festival had started. After tending the garden…

The 11th day of spring starts with a plea from Robin, the carpenter, for me to help find her favorite ax. Could use the money for sure. After tending my garden and giving up on digging up some clay, it was late enough for the blacksmith to be open. I headed out, stopping at every…

Now I am at the point in the game were there will be more than one day covered in each post. Later there will be days not covered at all, because they will be filled with routine activities. The routine days are fun for me, but for the reader, they would be like watching someone…

Day five of spring, the first year, turned out to be a nice sunny day. Weather is randomized in the game. When you watch the weather report, it will be the report for the following day. The fortune teller gives you your luck for the same day as you are watching. It makes it easy…

Getting up, I watched TV then headed out, only to find Marnie at the door, with a stray cat she found. (Remember my picking out my pet at the start of the game?) The mail consisted of a letter from the Joja Corporation. Now I know what the worker was doing hammering on the rocks….

On day four of the game, I woke up in my lonely little cottage and turned on the TV, to watch Livin’ Off The Land. The program gives you quite a few tips for playing the game. This hint is about the spring onions, which I can forage past the river south of the farm….
