Lew Zealand's totally voluntary AMA

[Lew Zealand]

How do you do, fellow kids?

You can ask me anything here and I'll answer with things I can think of. No guarantee whether they're right, rong or real though I'll try to keep it real. If it's too personal, I may treat it as an excuse for creative writing or maybe I'll just eat some choccy cake instead.

Where did your username come from?

Lew Zealand is a boomerang fish throwing muppet who's voice has been stuck in my head for decades and seeing as I have a very common name IRL and wanted to be able to search for old posts, I took something a bit less common for my online searchy name. In all his glory:

What's farmer Bobbi's origin story both in game and in real life?
By the way is it true that farmer Bobbi had some lessons with Lewis on how to make your own golden statue?

That's so fun, I always wondered if the name was a reference to anything, I fear I'm a little too young and uncultured to have picked up on the muppet reference right away

What are your favorite games, other than stardew

I play Rocket League (see below) almost habitually, like the way people need a vape or a drink. Saw a YTer play about a decade ago and instantly knew it was my thing. Like I hadn't played games in years but made a PC to play. Hooked ever since.

Also love Minecraft, Horizon Zero Dawn (and FW), Hogwarts Legacy, Slime Ranchers, all Tomb Raiders. And I have an unhealthy relationship with Ark:SE and :SA. All of these except the Tomb Raiders are really just vibe games for me. Start up, vibe for a bit or a super longer bit and get out.

Y'know… eventually

Farmer Bobbi's origin story is detailed in the first 2 installments here, but mainly she was a member of the Zuzu City Chickens Rocket League team and may or may not have had some anger management issues:

Bobbi, I suppose

As for the golden statue, well Farmer Bobbi thinks that she and Lewis may have received smelting lessons from the same metallurgist in neighboring Sandpiper Town but wife Emily insists that instead smelting comes naturally for Fartmer Bobbi as she's obviously the one who's always dealt it.

I play Java mostly as that what I started with and once I finally figured out how to install shaders I could make it look pretty. Also the lighting and sparse/missing grass especially in plains biomes and mountains bugged me in Bedrock, though both of these have been addressed in more recent updates. Bedrock still feels a bit like alt-Minecraft to me though as my favorite way to kill hostile mobs is 2 crits with a Stone Axe aaaaaaaand that doesn't exist in Bedrock. Bedrock crit parity update NOW!

My fave character in Stardew is probably Emily, which seems kinda like cheating as she's Farmer Bobbi's wife in my current playthrough but her dialog and game behaviors are fun to write about. It's weird how little everyone else stands out but I got 10 with everyone a long time ago so I rarely see anyone else other than running into them on the beach at Ginger when I warp there.

The Wizard is the easiest to write for however as he's a charlatan faker and Farmer Bobbi sees right though him, so their verbal sparring is just loads of fun to write. Hardest to write for is Penny as I just can't get a vibe or personality for her.

Erm yes. Had Mac OS and Windows on multiple machines as I didn't want to pay the Apple tax so bought a cheap Windows MiniPC and put Mac OS on it like a funny Mac Mini. And tried Chrome OS and Mac OS on another machine just for fun.
