    So true, Arqane! The first time I crawled in bed next to Sam or Seb I expected an annoyed reaction, but instead they just conversate with you like they always do (guitar playing, the weather...). Like, hello? Don't you think I'm invading your personal space a little bit? o_O CA barely uses the 'shocked' portraits, while it would have been so fitting there.

      Well, I'm never going to find a more perfect set up for this drawing I found online:

        I get on a bus at 4:10pm to go to a concert. When the concert is over it is still 4:10pm.

          What I found most disturbing is that all the other villagers are constantly seen breathing and my farmer seems to never need to fill her lungs with air....strange....

              *places a single blueberry in a barrel, retrieve enough jelly to fill an entire jar... and the Jar itself*

              You can place a window on a wall that clearly has a room on the other side yet sunlight comes through it.

              MMMM Acorns, Pinecones and Maple seeds smashed into a cube! My favorite! *crrunnnnch*

              I also find it odd that willy doesn't like the wild bait, I thought as a fisherman he's be all over exotic baits.

                Same with Kegs, one piece of fruit is all you need!
                I actually thought the design of the house was that the upper rooms are actually the 2nd floor, the layout just looks that way because that's how AP designed them so you could see everything at once.


                -Bat wings are excellent conductors of electricity.
                -Snail is a "Fish"
                -Flowers have incredible influence over the quality of honey you get
                -Trees get struck by lightning and spit out coal for a few days, and then back to normal
                -Somehow the path north of your farm is some magical road that is way shorter than it should be to actually reach the mines.
                -The "Tardis Effect" (what I call it, anyways) When you build a barn that is only 4X6 (I don't actually know the measurements) but when you walk inside, there's room for 60 kegs.
                -Re-appearing tree trunks in the magic forest, not just trees growing back, they've grown back, and someone has already cut them down, leaving you the stump. Maybe that's why the forest is magic.

                Do I care about these things? Absolutely not, love the game regardless.

                  You're actually too big to be riding your horse.

                  you can pick up 999+ of something like stone or wood, and not be over encumbered, and neither is your tiny horse.

                  your cows, goats, pigs and sheep "magically" become pregnant.

                    What flower nectar the bees have access to can have a huge impact on the flavour, colour and even texture of the honey produced. Just google 'monofloral honey' and you'll find a lot of information about different monofloral honeys.

                      I think he's more talking about how one little flower near a bee house can completely change all honey ever

                        No matter how sturdy the fishing rod, I can't recall reading of any that ever pulled up treasure chests.

                        And when you get the bus fixed, it doesn't go back to your old home city where you first boarded it, as you might expect. Instead, it drops you off in a bizarre hamlet in the middle of a desert with a shopkeep and a rigged casino. Interesting schedule change, there.

                          I had a feeling it was possible because I visited an apiary last summer on a lavender farm (Surprisingly interesting tour), but I didn't word that very well. Thanks to Nurio for clarifying. I'm talking about how the one flower seems to work, and how it has such a huge effect on quality, price, etc.

                              I think this has two parts to it, if I want to read *way* too deep into things:
                              1) Willy feels threatened by such a gift. He is your bait supplier! Like someone who gives you a razor for free expecting to make bank on all the blades you purchase in the future, the whole reason he's gotten you 'hooked' on the hobby is so his business does not die out! Now you're going to the purveyor of this bait and advertising to him that you no longer need his services, that you can make bait which is *much better* than that which is at his store, and as such there's no real need for you to continue giving him business.
                              2) Linus is the source of the recipe. Willy, unlike say Gus, has nothing positive to say about Linus. He's one of not too few villagers who never even acknowledges his existence. As much as Willy *should* appreciate Linus living off the land, he apparently does not. To have this 'worthless bum' who is never even seen fishing throw out there a fishing recipe which outclasses that which Willy, self proclaimed master of the waves produces? Blasphemy! To rub Willy's nose in it by gifting him this superior recipe from this questionable source is like gifting the developers of Everquest a copy of WoW with a note attached saying "hey, if you want to see how to do this right..." and *of course* it's not going to fly!



                              - Bat Wings I assume are being used as insulators in the recipe to keep it flowing on the correct path, because of... the fur?
                              - Snail is a "fish" in that it's a small creature the game lets you grind up into bits to use as fertilizer. As "fish" is the only classification of "animal" that the game allows you to have or use in crafting recipes, it flies. Just don't tell Demetrius.
                              - These Bees are smarter than your average Bees!
                              - The lightning fried a bunch of fruit, which are basically cooked down to charcoal? Maybe?
                              - Yeah, I've got nothing.
                              - Robin is JUST. THAT. GOOD.
                              - I was going to invent some complicated justification involving time dilation fields and reference the endless amount of trash and fish in the tiny pond as proof, but the pesky seasonal changes made such a justification implausible. Maybe what you're seeing as a "stump" is the finished form of the plant, and it's not a tree at all?

                                I also gotta complain about this: Digging for artifacts. You're taking a stroll down the path to the village across the bus station, and you spot these three worms wriggling right at the end of the area. You walk up to it, dig, and since it's so close to the area border, the freakin' thing you dig up disappears into said border, not even my magnet ring can get that back ;_;

                                I've also dug up something exciting right by the lake in the forest, guess what happens? The item dug up went straight down into the water. It's more fun dying repeatedly in Dark Souls. :rofl:

                                  Not sure if this counts as "Video Game Logic". This is more a case of "What Really Grinds My Gears"

                                      I currently have five pairs of broken glasses for every single resident in the town. I'm shutting down my farm and becoming an optometrist.

                                      That and I convinced a girl to marry me by giving her 18 cauliflowers.
