My favorite stardew valley events
The events in Stardew always feel so special and if you asked me to put them most to least favorite I’d probably cry because I simply can’t. I think events in games ( especially holiday events ) are so heartfelt, I feel like they just help make the game so much more special and thoughtful. 🥹
