The Bug: If you have a slingshot in your hand while you harvest crops there is a good chance that the game bugs out and takes away your arms. This glitch seems to freeze your character all together, by forcing the character to look in the last direction you were facing and give your character a frozen aiming expression (a never ending wink). Thankfully it seems to just be a graphical glitch. I was also able to easily end the glitch by just collecting or interacting with another object.

How to replicate the Bug:
- Have any Slingshot in your hand
- Go up to any harvestable crop
- Spam Y or A to harvest the crop (you wanna make the game think you want to use the slingshot and harvest a crop at the same time)
- Viola! now you have no arms
- I found by aiming, after the glitch is successfully done, you can change the direction that you are facing while still being frozen.
- you can stop the Slingshot animation and keep this "frozen" effect by going through a gate (there might be other ways as well but I haven't tested for them). This then transfers the effect to the normal walking animation.
- This might be able to work on other platforms? I only have Stardew on my Switch so I do not actually know.
