Agreed on that. I think if you start playing Stardew on mobile you are immediately used to it as the interface and screen size is familiar, especially if your phone is your preferred gaming device. However I started playing Stardew on Mac and PC, and moving from a roomy big screen to mobile was frustrating at times and I really couldn't deal with it very well on my phone. On a tablet it's better with the larger screen and the mobile controls are great (sometimes better than mouse/keyboard), however I'm super used to the precision of a keyboard and find that I can get a little annoyed after a while with the touchscreen. I shouldn't be annoyed when playing Stardew.
OK okok the real problem is that I just don't like using my phone much. It's super handy because you always have it, but growing up with old tiny CRT screens connected to a computer, a bigger screen was
always the pinnacle of great computing. Connecting a brand new 20" LCD to an old Mac as a test just
felt better even with the same old, slow, near-dead CPU. I use a 32" LCD now and if I thought I could manage a 40" one, I'd do it! So for anything more than reading things, I find the relatively small screen of a phone merely tolerable and often frustrating.
Gimme my biggg screen now!!!
