    In Germany, "Onkel Doktor" (= Uncle Doctor) is a term you often use when you talk to little children. Like "Oh, you're not feeling good? Let's go see Uncle Doctor!"
    I think it means the same in this case, so Sam might refer to his mother treating him like a small child that has to visit "Uncle Doctor".

      I haven't, but I wouldn't worry too much. If Jodi has a sibling, Harvey has a sibling, and those two marry, by proxy Harvey is Sam's uncle...(I think)

      I was thinking, Abby talks about going on adventures and practicing her sword...but she's terrified of spiders, would things like skeletons be too much for her?

        I don't know. Spiders exist on some seriously spooky level I hear. One of my best friends is one of the toughest and most courageous people I know, but spiders freak him out. Snakes are fine. Skeletons , even animated would not bother him. But a tiny damn spider.. Wow. It's a little ridiculous in a way. LOL

        So I would think fear of something that is a phobia might be specific enough to over-ride 'logic' and make some-one less scared of something normal people would think of as more scary than what their phobia item is. ??

            ahem, anyway

            Has anyone else co-opted the Mountain Dew slogan for Stardew Valley?

              Is anyone having a hard time getting Mayor Lewis statue?
              I got it in a previous game play. Made a new farm, got the note and walked all the way there but nothing happens...

                Mayor Lewis has a statue? What about a statue of Abby brandishing a sword or George pre-wheelchair bound? I wonder if there's a thing for how many eggs thrown at the statue? (In SimCity 3000 when the mayor gets their own house there's a line of "eggs thrown" suggestion the mayor's not all that liked)

                I do wonder if you can commission Leah to make statues in the future. They would cost a fair amount and she wouldn't start doing them until you have her at 2 hearts, but it would be fun to have a statue of a junimo (painted with your favorite color) or a statue of one of the residents of Pelican Town. Depending on your feelings of the individual, you can use the statue to admire at it...or throw eggs and darts at it!

                      Decided on the spur of the moment to go for a casual poke around in the skull cavern while I was over in the desert buying a few statues of happiness, which is why I have no bombs or stones, just my pickaxe to break stones, and I stumbled on an unusually large amount of iridium on level 11. Doubt I've seen this much on a single floor before at least level 100 until today

                        Clearly the Stardew Valley crop fairy is diversifying to other areas and turned 3 iridium nodes into 11!

                        Before I forget, does anyone visit you in the Skull mines? I've heard in the beta that Abby shows up a few times in the regular mine, does she do the same in the Skull mine?

                          So I had this happen again today and I thought I'd chronicle it for fun.

                          Notice in the first image there is no Help Wanted exclamation mark on the bulletin board, yet thanks to UIInfoSuite, there is a blank one you can accept when you press E and click on the bulletin board option.

                          So what happens when you click accept and then check your Journal? Behold... the infamous 'Wat?'!

                            I think if you've got CJB_CheatsMenu you can use it to get credit for the wat? It won't give you any reward for quests, just marks them as as completed to work toward gopher and big help.

                              You know what would be fun is, if those were all Iridium Crabs and when you hit one they all wake up. :D

                                Haha, yeah, that would have sucked. Confession time, I did actually have one bomb further down in my backpack, which was a drop from a green serpent, so I used that.

                                  Random thought...

                                  It's interesting how there was a flood of 'new' (to me at least) people posting on the forums once the v1.3 Beta started compared to the year and a half before. I guess everyone was just quietly and happily percolating away on their farms. :avail:D:

                                  At least I noticed an immediate increase in volume of posts and different names... dunno if anyone else did. I guess there's more happy farmers than I originally thought. Yay us! :cathug:

                                    Yeah, I kind of noticed a good few newcomers starting to trickle in. I suppose with multiplayer coming out, there's more of a reason to step into the community, isn't there?

                                    I'm glad that there was more activity, though! Always good to see people around.

                                      I think with a lot of people loving multiplayer there's been a bunch of newcomers as a result!

                                      New thing I noticed, multiple shipping bins allowed now. Good stuff! :)

                                      EDIT: noticed after starting a new game that there's more dialogue, I don't recall Robin ever discussing the community center and Lewis discussing it after the cut scene was new too. Makes me wonder if there's other new dialogue bits!
