I got my wife Stardew Valley on Switch for Christmas this year because she has been going balls deep on Animal Crossing this year but has been running out of stuff to do. Well, except for making Snow Boys right now, which really seems more like a exercise in frustration than anything. So I thought Stardew Valley would give her a nice change. I also got Lets Go! Evee from my parents.
Now I tried out Stardew Valley on Christmas Day after a few too many Irish Coffees had been drank, and my wife had fallen asleep...and I realllly like it. I played all day Saturday while we recovered from our caffeinated Jameson binge while she watched The Office because there are only a few days left for that. She tried out Stardew too, but just couldn’t into it. So I kinda hogged the Switch all Saturday.
On Sunday she decided to try out Lets Go! Evee while I watched The Mandalorian, and she got reallly into it. Powering through, really Catching. Them. All.
I even watched her beat Misty last night, exclaiming that even today that Starmi would kick my ass like it did when I was 8.
Now for the fuck up. On my lunch break today I thought, hey I will go play some Stardew. Wife is working so I decide I won’t bug her and just play a couple quick days and get some copper ore. Do my thing, forge some bars. Put the Switch back. Go back to work. An hour or so later my wife is done for the day and goes to boot up Lets Go...
She comes into my office with the saddest look, her game was gone. Apparently there is no autosave on Pokemon games (which makes sense in a way) but I had just assumed it would have autosave. Every game autosaves these days! She wasn’t mad, but ever so sad. I got her a pack of berry flavored gummies to try to make up for it but I know from experience a razz berry will only go so far to ease the pain. But she is back to it, this time grinding even harder. Sitting next to me while Andy and Dwight are serenading Erin with John Denver tunes in the background.
tldr: Played Stardew Valley for 15 minutes and erased a days worth of my wife’s progress on Lets Go! Evee because apparently Pokemon games don’t have autosave.
