I’ve talked about a lot, but very rarely do I delve into the world of Speedrunning. Stardew Valley specifically seems to have evolved into quite the beast, with official and unofficial categories spanning just about every part of the game. Join me as we take a journey through all it has to offer!

Thanks to all of the runners that gave me permission to use their footage!

  1. I don't know if it was intentional, but using music used often by channels like summoning salt is such a good little detail for those who understand the reference.

  2. I just love that this game is still relevant. It's so fun, and so chill. I don't speed run but I do like to try and be efficient every time I play. I have yet to get a perfection run, but it's a comfort game, the chocolate of video games when I need to just curl up and decompress.
