I never participated in any of the winter festivals except the feast lmaoo. I wouldn't know. I become a lazy man during winter and only get out to milk my cows.

Rabbit names: villager names always work, but putting “lil” in front of the name is even better. “Lil Gus”, “Lil Marnie”, etc. Also cereal mascots, like Trix or Tony or Cap. Crunch. Then mythical creatures like Cthulhu the bunny. Then characters from a book or movie you like, but slightly altered. Hairy Potter, Frodoe Baggens, etc. Then there’s always Greek Gods, like Hera, Persephone, Eros, etc. and also Toasty.

I like to get all the prices in year 1, especially if I still need some fishing experience at that point. Once I have the book, the hat, and the decorations, I can ignore it in later years.

Reached the start of year 2, and realized I'd forgot to make strawberry seeds. Cue my two seedmakers being kept busy until I had 48 seeds planted. Went to the Skull Cavern to get enough iridium for the sprinklers I wanted, and got lucky in getting a couple of bars from a treasure room. Sure sped up the crafting process to not have to wait for the furnaces to process them.
This save, Linus was smart enough to wait until Spring with his trash gathering quest. No winter bath for him this time. Of course, with fishing level 10 it's kinda difficult to catch trash normally, even when dropping the line as short as possible, so I went to floor 100 of the mine. Ended up catching two lava eels while fishing for trash, which was a nice bonus, the second one caught after my trap bobber had worn out. Have to say it was unusually docile.
Went on a ride with Sebastian, and then in the rain on the 4th, went watching the sea with him... Oh, drat. Forgot to buy the mermaid pendant while it was raining.

Today I bought the golden clock which was my last big spend. I'm doing a fishing play through on the beach farm and I have 30 Legend II ponds, 5 ponds with all the legendaries, 4 lava eel ponds, and 1 stingray pond which was for dragon's teeth but I got more from killing lava crocodiles. I have 100 preserve jars just for aging the roe. I also have Ostriches in the barn. I had 9 dinosaurs for selling the eggs with the book but now that I don't need the money I killed them all because I like ducks. I didn't get an ancient fruit seed for a long time so I just planted pineapples on Ginger Island. I banned myself from kegs because it's fishing-first play through so I just put them in the dehydrators. I have about 30 of those and they sure were easier on resources than kegs. I'm surprised at how fast it was to ramp up with fishing-first and ponds. I'm a fishing fan now.

I saw a brown Special Slime recently, and I've already seen gray and a few yellow ones, so I suppose I've seen (and defeated!) all the variants now.
But I've never seen THREE Special Slimes on 1 floor... until today!
Of course, none of them gave me a ring.

That's a sight that for most people would fit the "luckiest thing that happened" thread that was some time ago. Rare enough to get one, but 3 is amazing, until all of them drop stuff you don't need/want.

I've never seen more than one a day, never mind on the same floor. Congrats!

Bobbi was in her familiar horrible mood because as usual her teammates were completely incompetent and her typical frustrated ramming of their cars was giving her no satisfaction. "No explosion, no happy!" she growled. "I'll fire both of you and blow you up after you join another team, I don't even care if I lose the match as long as you end up consumed in fire!!," she screamed at nobody as her teammates had long since turned off their comms.
...
The scene dissolves as she jerks awake, mostly warm in bed and completely disconcerted, heartrate and breathing raised above their usual. Blinking at the early morning's slanted rays illuminating the walls through greenish fishtanks, reality slowly emerges.
I... I don't do that any more, Bobbi thinks. I haven't done that in almost 6 years, when will these stupid dreams end? She slides out of bed and hears the sound of small feet in the distance, but indoors. Oh yeah, kids, she smirks. Hey wait I'm married, where's my wife?
Bobbi looks around, absently checks the TV and invokes the daily blessings from her house statues, going through the motions but not registering what any of them provide. Where wife? I do have... yes yes I got married! Stupid nightmare brain fog.
Bobbi eventually winds her way to the Kitchen where she finds Emily perusing the bookcase in silence.
"Sooo... what we looking for?," Bobbi asks but there is no reply. Emily is deep in thought and seems not to notice any familiar sounds of human interaction. Bobbi is not quite up to speed with this day either so she gets it and decides to set a spell and consider her wife.
"Hey. Hey. You there. With the Blue and Red. Look, I'm a book!," Bobbi grabs a book and waves it as Emily turns towards her.
"Hi!" No response. "Uh, I'm Bobbi, you may remember me from such events as 'Studying my books and maybe someone else in the Saloon' and 'Boy wasn't that a convenient bear visit in the Secret Woods' and 'I now pronounce you wife and wife.'" There was little reaction, maybe the slightest of smiles as Emily looked down and back to the bookcase. Huh, Bobbi thought, maybe she got up on the wrong side of the bed too. As Bobbi hopped off the bench to leave the house, she started grinning from ear to ear, planning to get into the other side of the bed before Emily that night and see what reaction she got.
I'll bet it's a good one! Problem is, Bobbi doesn't remember things from one hour to the next, much less a plan for 12 hours hence.
Bobbi remembered something though, the newly re-landscaped and reforested Train Crossing should be done and it was time to check it out. However fashion must also be pursued so it was time to see Sandy first.
"I see you every day Sandy, what are you on about?" Bobbi retorts as she tries to give Sandy a noogie on her head. Sandy wears her heart and humor on her sleeve which is why Bobbi and Emily like her so much but Sandy also knows how to control rowdy customers and a small farmer is easy for her to subdue.
Now with Bobbi well-contained in a headlock, Sandy continues, "You are such a cute little desert snake but this mongoose has danced with many like you, some much larger and well..." She leans closer to Bobbi so she can mostly see her and whispers, "I look forward to the close contact and physical exertion so I think I'll keep you here just a bit longer." Maybe her arm loosened a bit, maybe she just de-tensed her muscles but if that happened, Bobbi didn't notice. "Oh now you're changing color, I like you the other way better!," and Sandy releases Bobbi with disarming giggle as if they'd been playing a children's game. Holding Bobbi steady as she caught her breath, Sandy looked around The Oasis with a falling bemused smile.
Bobbi and Sandy look at each other for a second or three and this time its Sandy's turn to change color. "You know I do have Emily living with me on the Farm now." Bobbi says quizzically. Sandy looks slightly away.
"Oh! Isn't that a happy coincidence, me visiting you on the farm and Emily is there," Sandy replies looking back at Bobbi with the mother of all side-eyes and what appears to be a naughty smile. "However could that have slipped my mind, you having Emilys on your farm there." Sandy's eyebrows raise, "do you know those are just my favorite." In a split second, Sandy composes herself a bit more formally to say, "Do I have anything in my store that you... require?" Bobbi selects the Shirt du Jour and as she turns to leave, Sandy beams, "this has been a wonderful visit, please come back soon sweetie!" Outside The Oasis, Bobbi is now thoroughly confused and finds a place to sit and ponder life, friends, fate, and being more than friends.
Back at the farm, Bobbi notices it's time to harvest and replant the Pumpkins and fill the Preserves jars, which is something she always does first thing in the morning. Now downgraded to almost-always. She putters unfocused around Ginger and has no idea what happens the rest of the day but is back in the house by 9:40pm to see how Emily's doing but can't find her. Stupid house is too big and too cluttered. I need to cleverly reorganize this mess so Emms doesn't have any hiding places. At 10:20 she finds Emily in bed, the tricksy hobbit.
Except that's me with the shortness and the big feet. And excessive Cheez eating when in Skull Cavern. Bobbi didn't really need anything else from the Cavern by now, it was really just an excuse to chow tons of cheez which Emms didn't need to know about. On occasion she would make comments about Bobbi not seeming to eat much yet still be well-padded but hey, she married me this way so it's totally just the right shape for me, right?
Bobbi goes to bed soon after, wanting the weird day to be over. She gets the impression she forgot something but that was just about the most familiar feeling in Bobbi's life, like the warm embrace of an old friend. Zzzzzzzz.......
__________
The next day Emily was back to normal.
"I also planted the Pumpkins and gathered the Moss and Tree Syrup stuff and probably something from those disgusting Fish Bait things." She shivered and poked Bobbi in the chest with a soft finger. "You needed your beauty sleep." Emily gets up close to Bobbi's face, noses overlapping. She probably would have gotten closer if not for Bobbi's ubiquitous eyewear. "Hmmmmmmm...," Emily squints appraisingly, nodding "I think it worked."
Bobbi completely misses the compliment, instead considering asking Emily about yesterday and like a fool almost mentions something about Sandy. But that was Sandy just having some fun with her, right? Nah, let it wash over you and let people just be themselves for a day, eh?
"Hello, Bobbi, are you there?" Emily is waving her hands in front of Bobbi's eyes as she dispels her inner monologue. "You look like you got lost in thought and were like totally excluding me." She threw up her hands. "Now I'm the brains of this outfit so I need to be involved in all the thinking." She reaches out to squeeze Bobbi's arms, "and you're the brawn," now moving to squeeze her middriff, "the muscle," jiggling Bobbi's not entirely muscly middle
, "that gets this place moving!"
With Emily in perfect position, Bobbi gets Emily in a headlock and gives her a noogie. "Noogienoogienoogie!" A day late and a different person, but the odds are evened! Bobbi knows to let Emily go quickly because things will go south in a hurry and she'll end up hogtied or something by her stronger wife, and Bobbi makes a break for it.
"Hey get back here! I didn't even finish what was planned for that squeeze, my little teacup!" Emily makes to chase Bobbi but pulls up immediately to watch her wife zigzag among the grasses laughing, attempting to avoid the animals and eventually tripping over one of the sheep. Not finding Emily chasing, Bobbi picks herself up, not cleaning any grass or hay from her bushy blob of a hair"style" and continues about her day on the farm as if nothing happened. Emily watches from the Porch all morning, knowing it'll keep Bobbi just slightly on edge, her head turning often towards the farmhouse where her wife watches with love, appreciation, and just enough cunning and conniving to keep things interesting.
Finally Bobbi remembers the Train Crossing as it looks resplendent in the early Fall evening, moss hanging from a few branches, though more moss from the new growth will need to wait for the Green Rains 3/4 of a year from now. Oh well, will need to find something else to do 'til then...
Back home, Bobbi finds Emily in the kitchen, the silent, hiding shenanigans of yesterday seemingly a thing of the past.
Bobbi smiles in complete understanding, she could have said the same on any number of days. OK, probably all the days. There is never a doubt in Bobbi's mind that Emily is the one but if an errant doubt managed to squeeze in there, Emily freely sharing thoughts like this would quickly and effortlessly dispel them. What follows is their evening dance which continues to be special even after years of marriage.

Wedding happened, Community Center restored, and boat repaired. Used a rain totem to catch the Legend when I remembered that the second half of Spring in year 2 didn't have any rain in the seed I'm using. Had thought of it in the first half of Spring, but forgot to actually go fishing amidst all the other things I wanted to do during those days. I also forgot to bring up the friendship with Jas and Vincent enough before Spring ended, so their event will have to wait until year 3. Got my first mastery too.
The pickaxe was the first tool to get upgraded to iridium. And I've realized I have too few mushroom logs for the 15 dehydrators I currently have. Just another thing added to the list of things to do and make.

Hatched my first golden chick! (Paid 70,000 for the last seven walnuts rather than drive myself crazy trying to get them.)

I'm in Spring of Year 3 on my current farm. Farmer Ao and Sam (been wanting to marry him in a game for awhile and I finally built a farmer/farm he seemed suitable for) are both the 'just roll with it' type, so I haven't been checking daily luck (and only check the weather when I want to upgrade my watering can).
I must have happened on a good luck day when pkaying last night, though (I have the lucky charm, too). I'd picked up a request the night before to deliver a dandelion to Maru (seriously, with the things this woman requests for her inventions, it's no wonder one of them electrocutes you). On the way, I got another request to get Kent a copper bar (he keeps sending Ao bombs in the mail, so he's either the best FIL or the worst, either way, I figured Ao should keep him happy). I also picked up my copper trashcan and gave Clint the materials/gold to upgrade it to steel. After, I was done dropping everything off, I wanted to go to the mines. I'm making a bunch more preserve jars, so between those and all the fish I keep smoking, I keep going through coal and stone.
It was only 3:30 in game, and I still needed either a Dino egg or a prismatic shard to comoete three final bundle (plus, I have more told that need to be updated to irridium), so I decided to go to Skull Caverns. Just grabbed my bomb stash (courtesy of Kent), my spicy eel (courtesy of my lava eels) a flower for Sandy and a farm totem. I ended up finding so many holes. I set off one bomb that revealed three of them. Ended up going down 64 floors before zapping home at 1:40. I got four prismatic shards, an auto-petter, three ancient seeds, 1200 worth of dino bones, eight diamonds, a bunch of other jewels, enough irridium to make eighteen bars (I needed fifteen to upgrafe everything), more than enough coal and stone to finish my preserve jars, two random shirts, and a couple swords, plus the usual monster loot. I also got a quarter of the way through the flying serpent monster slaying goal.
Two days later, I remembered I haven't been to the island yet. I've recently learned that the jasmine tea doesn't count toward your weekly gift limits and have been wanting to experiment with that. So between three of those and a couple irridium quality duck feathers, Ao got Leo from zero to nine hearts in four days. Also got the island hut unlocked and have four dragons teeth.
Needless to say, Farmer Ao is having a good week.

Honestly nothing much 'happened in my game today', but I just wanted to comment because it's been a super busy time and I managed to relax and play for a day for the first time in ages, which was really enjoyable.
So I guess stardew happened in my real life today

Been going to Ginger Island most days for a while, as I picked up the special request for 100 pieces of ginger with just 2 weeks to do it in. Summer's been intense, as I also picked the 25 gold quality vegetable, and the 100 (vegetable type, radishes in my case) quest earlier in the season. Have also fed 81 golden walnuts to various parrots, with the obelisk, parrot express, and volcano bridge left. Got the cinderclown shoes and the diamond book from the dwarf shop in the volcano, so now there's just one book left to read for the "well read" achievement. Picked Farming for my second mastery and fed the first cracker to the cow. The mystic trees planted (and fertilized) after picking the foraging mastery just gave me the first harvest from their tappers.
Built a shed for the kegs and expanded their number to 20. Currently they're mostly running hops and wheat.
The casks in my basement have so far only been used for aging cheese.
And farmer Auris is pregnant with Sebastian's first baby, not that it keeps her from running off to fight monsters until she nearly passes out, or staying up until 2 am some nights.
Almost having enough for one of the cheaper obelisks, but I'm kind of hoping I'll get a banana sapling soon, so I can save up and build the island obelisk first. Though mountain or beach obelisks would also be helpful.
I'm considering having one quality sprinkler's worth of each regrowing crop planted on Ginger Island, but I've had that idea before without going through with it. For one thing, the Qi quest of growing enough Qi fruits have been getting in its way. Me getting distracted from the island long enough for the weeds to destroy part of the crops is another reason. Maybe the idea is best left for post-perfection game.

I stopped aging wine completely, I like getting a bunch of goats to produce gold quality cheese and then it takes just a week for them to get to iridium quality. Wine takes too long for me so I just sell it right from kegs
