Adventures In Gaming: Story of Seasons- Tips for New Players

I thought I'd make a list of things to do for beginners who have just started playing the game. 

• Save a lot!  I usually save before going to bed at the end of the day.
• Save scumming-  This is something I do practice.  I try to only save before diving into the rivers and I plan to save before I mine (when I unlock the safari).
• When you dive into the rivers you'll find six items in each river, daily.  So just keep swimming!  :)
• As soon as you can, make a second fridge and storage box (maybe material bin, too later on).  You're gonna need it for all the hoarding you're gonna need to do.  You can access all the stuff in both fridges from either fridge.  Also, you can put your storage and material boxes/bins anywhere on your farm with the "edit farm" mode.  I think your fridges have to stay inside the house, though.
• Upgrade your bag as soon as you can.  Makes hoarding throughout the day so much easier.  Otherwise you're having to go back to your house at least once a day to put the stuff away out of your bag.  
• Jump on rocks and hedges.  Sometimes goodies will pop out! 
• Befriend Eda and see her three events before Winter day 1.
• Befriend Otmar.

And now, things to hoard:

• Save 5 milk
• Save 5 turnip seeds
• weeds
• twigs
• all building materials in general
• I, personally, save 10 of each crop and produce from my animals just in case.  
• Butterflies for gifts for Eda and Otmar.

***I might be adding more to these lists later on.  This is just what I could think of off the top of my head.   

For when you unlock the field conquests:  I couldn't find anything on the internet to explain which fields are which, so I walked to each field in the game and made notes and drew up this key guide.  I hope it helps.  :)

And now for the links I use the most for this game:

Adventures In Gaming: My Top Three Harvest Moon Titles

My Top Three Favorite Harvest Moon Games

1. Story of  Seasons
2. Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility
3. Harvest Moon DS Cute

      My Top Three Disliked Harvest Moon Games 

1. Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns
2. Harvest Moon; GBC3 
3. I don't really have a third one.

I pretty much fell in love with "Story of Seasons" since I saw the first trailer for it way way before it even came out.  I think that game is gonna be a fave of mine for quite some time to come.  If this would've been a longer list I probably would've added "Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon" to the top faves list because at the time, when I was playing PSP games, I was playing it a LOT!  I played it more than "Harvest Moon; Hero of Leaf Valley", which I liked, but it just didn't have the awesomeness for me that "Innocent Life" had.  I know a lot of people just didn't seem to like "Innocent Life", but there was a charm to it for me that was unmistakable: the graphics.  I'm a sucker for graphics.  Lol.

If you're a Harvest Moon fan, what was your most favorite games and most disliked games?  Please comment down below and tell me, I'd love to hear!  :)

Let's Talk About Thoughtlessness

This is one of my greatest pet peeves: thoughtlessness.  In my opinion, it's one of the things that seems to be wrong in the world, along with lack of common decency, manners, and common sense.  Of course thoughtlessness and common decency do tie in with each other.  

The people, whom I've noticed in my life, that seem to be the worst at it are some of the people who are supposed to be the closest to me: friends and family.  Time and time again, I roll with the excuses that are given me when I have confronted these persons about their thoughtless acts because I'm a forgiving person.  I'm just wired that way and to go against it just feels wrong, but that means that every now and then I get fed up and wind up needing to vent about it. I don't put up with it with every friend, just the ones that are family that I've known for decades.  Not that that makes it right by any means.  

Maybe I just care too much, but once again, that's just the way I'm wired.  

Adventures In Gaming: What I'm Currently Playing

So for the first post in this series, I thought I'd share with y'all the games I'm currently playing.  After this post, I'll add a note to each post in this series stating what I'm currently playing instead of writing another post like this.  If I wrote a post every time I switched up the games I was playing, well let's just say, that's all I'd ever write about.  Boring!  Lol.

Story of Seasons, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and Pokemon: Omega Ruby.

I've restarted my games on Story of Seasons and Animal Crossing: New Leaf multiple times.  I seriously need to quit doing that!  I have this thing of not playing a game for awhile and then when I go back to it I restart it for a fresh start, it's so frustrating!  I'm making a real effort now to quit doing that.  Otherwise, when I share my gaming in posts of the games I'm playing it would get pretty confusing.  

If there's any games you'd like to recommend or any questions or topics you'd like for me to write about then please leave a comment in the section below.  I'd love to hear from ya!  

Stay tuned for next week's "Adventures In Gaming".  :)
