Starting The Good Life 🧑🌾 Stardew Valley Let’s Play #1 – Relaxing, Chilled Gameplay
Hey everyone have you had a stressy day one of the most relaxing games you can play is Star Valley and I thought what I would try and do is just create a few videos that you can just sit and chill to so we’re going to start the game and
Find our way around starj Valley nice and calm nice and relaxed so you just sit there and enjoy the journey let’s have a little look at this beautiful little game so I’ll just sign me in and uh we’ll see what we think of the game
And uh the idea with this is if this is popular I’ll just keep making a new episode those every now and again uh that hopefully you’ll enjoy so we’re do a new game and I only know a little bit about starw Valley so I’m no expert but I’m hoping the little discoveries that
We make on the way and how we figure out the game will be fun and relaxing to do so the first thing we need to do is figure out a name so I’m just going to go nice and simple here and we’re going to go with GM nice and short for grub
Magnet which is my silly online name uh the farm name I’m going to continue that theme and we’re going to go g m again uh because you know that’s just how want to be my favorite thing that is a good question do you know what it is I think don’t tell my
Wife and kids it’s probably this a guitar I love playing guitar I’m rubbish at it but I enjoy playing guitar so we got to think about this I am male so we’ll go with that animal preference it’s got be dogs man love my dog my dog he’s a lurcher he’s a rescue
He’s well cute maybe I’ll put a picture of him up one day uh eye color this is brilliant I’m seeing a slider but I have no idea what color that is uh giving and I can’t really see on there I mean that dude I don’t know does what I don’t even
Know how I get on the other side here I can change my pants I need to bear in mind pants’s trousers cuz I am in the UK so we always find it a bit weird when people talk about pants bit like when we talk about pants in the
UK If You’re an America you go no that’s my pants why are you wearing your shorts I tell no anyway I like a good set of dungarees if I’m on the farm 74 hairstyle there looks quite interesting anyway it’s not important is it let’s let’s do it I’m going to keep the intro
On oh look there’s different Farms we can have here I never noticed this the first time I looked at this I’m going to go with the standard I’m not too bothered about that it’s all about the journey I’ve accidentally just ruined all my hair again how do I get oh my
Gosh I don’t even know what I’m doing stop it okay supposed to be relaxing supposed to be chill uh so oh who is this guy nice music and for my very special grandson come on dude I want you to have the sealed envelope it’s not looking good for old
Grandpa here but he looks like has had a good life what do we got no no don’t open it yet have patience okay now listen close check out the sword above the fireplace his grandpa pyate there will come a day when you feel crushed by the burden of Modern Life
Okay come on Grandpa and your bright spirit will fade before a growing emptiness come on keep it chill man keep it happy Grandpa Chop Chop when that happens my boy you’ll be ready for this gift okay Grandpa I’m ready now now let Grandpa rest XX years later I wonder how long
Grandpa was in that bed for joa join us and Thrive work you Scoundrels got to keep it chill nothing too stressful this looks stressful though I would not like to work at joa this looks look at a terminated one uh that appears to be Woody either that or
It might be stand out a Monkey Island that’s a pretty chill game as well I like Monkey Island a lot uh is that me it’s looking like my fearsome hair oh is that thirsty or need a we could be either what are you doing here Chief and
Yeah good plan let’s look at that letter do you remember old Grandpa’s letter dear GM if you’re reading this you must be in dire need of a change the same thing happened to me long ago I lost sight of what matter most in life real connections with other people and
Nature so I dropped everything and moved to the place I truly belong I’ve enclosed the deed to that place my pride and joy GM Farm is located in Star Valley on the southern coast is the perfect place to start your new life this was my most precious gift
Of all and now it’s yours I know you’ll honor the family name my boy good luck love Grandpa Grandpa PS if Lewis is still alive say hi to the old guy for me will you Grandpa you Sav me from joa check it out what is
That we’re going in the bus or on the on the bus or in the bus I don’t know we’re driving along in the country I wonder a driver in a bus is relaxing when you’ve got big open roads looks very stressful in the UK staru Valley half a mile Interesting hello you must be GM I need a girl voice um I’m Robin the local Carpenter May leis sent me here to fetch you and show you the way to your new home he’s there right now tidying things up for your arrival the Farm’s right over here if you all follow
Me that voice will change as I forget what voice I gave Robin sorry hopefully you won’t have too much look at that a’t that cute this is GM Farm cool look at that it’s a thirsty or need a we what’s the matter I need a we sure it’s a bit overgrown but there’s
Some good soil underneath that mess with a little dedication you’ll have it cleaned up in no time beautiful thanks Robin nice music very chill and here we are your new home who is that oh the new farmer oh that’s Louis that’s who Grandpa was talking About welcome I’m Lewis mayor of Pelican Town that’s a good voice for Lewis I will forget it again you know everyone’s been asking about you it’s not every day that someone moves in it’s quite a big deal H so you’re moving into your grandfather’s old Cottage that’s a good house very
Rustic is that sort of code for very worn out does look rustic though looks cute rustic that’s one way to put it is she laughing crusty might be a little more apt though boot I was thinking the same Louis don’t listen to her GM she’s just trying to make you deified so that
You’ll buy one of her house upgrades aha very cunning robin look at her face anyway you must be tired from the long journey you should get some rest tomorrow you ought to explore the town a bit and introduce yourself the town’s people would appreciate that Okay oh I almost forgot if you have anything to sell just place it in this box here I’ll come by during the night to collect it well good luck now oh is that it is it nighttime are we in the house it’s a chicken or is it a
Roll is a cockroll glass it’s a chicken I suppose so move and a we’ve got stuff on the right hand side I don’t want to get out bed that bed looks proper cozy it is a very dinky house though I like that we’ve got a bed and a fireplace a
Table and a TV and a present all in the same room fearsome right I love we got out the bed there look just walks in no I don’t want to go to sleep again get out you lazy past a present for me let’s see what it
Is parsnip seeds and a new journal entry you received 15 pnip seeds here’s a little something to get you started mayor Lewis I need to remember that voice I like good okay so we got 15 par liip seeds we’ve got some tools up the top there
Nice uh we have a little chair there’s a little weird Bowl thing a little fireplace um what do we do now there’s a little exclamation on the top right so do I press any buttons right so why is doing that okay social aha okay so we got lots of things
Here uh is there anything that’s going to help me to figure out what on Earth is going on no absolutely nothing I’m just going to hit all these buttons here and see if there’s anything else that goes through there I want to know what that exclamation mark
Means I would hope it’s you know something along here maybe so we got little people here you’ll have to bear with me o GM Farm I found a map accidentally interesting is there anything that tells me Buttons collections okay options we could auto run I don’t I don’t even got to learn to
Walk first uh I was hoping what’s this this is all the controls okay interesting let’s just walk out blindly and figure things out as we go okay um so it’s Monday that’s the little box that mayor was talking about oh I want to hit things how do I access
These things on the bottom there we go uh what you reckon hit the Stoners with that well that worked beautiful what else have I got what is this well I seem to be doing stuff I don’t know whether I’m doing the right things or not but it’s kind of
Cute I mean it does look messy and you know I don’t I messy things too much whether I’ve got the patience to clear all of this though I don’t know no wrong thing yes pickaxe beautiful pickaxe um let’s chop do you think this is a good idea
Doing all of this I assume so we have a farm I could do with some more Health game would be nice but I don’t really know what I’m doing but I suppose we’ll find out somehow we just keep keep making this beautiful so I would love your feedback on here as
We go is this relaxing is this nice is it not what could have change for you what would you like to see is there other games you would like me to cover or should we keep solely on this one and see how we go chop chop maybe you reckon it’s more
Efficient to sort of whack just the rocks and then go through and hit the uh sort of wood and what the heck am I going to do with all this wood what do I do with it I don’t know he very interesting I’d love to know how I access that let see this
Doesn’t I want to know what that exclamation mark is but hitting all the buttons is doing not lot ah screens Button getting styed if you want to become a farmer you have to start with the basics use your hoe to till the soil and then use a seed packet
On the tilled soil to sew a crop water every day until the crop is ready for Harvest cultivate and harvest a pnip cool introductions it would be a nice gesture to introduce yourself around town some people might be anxious to meet the new farmer two of 28 people greeted
So how did I get that that’s the hang on there the screens button okay right so I’ve forgotten absolutely what it said it said Till the ground somehow how do I is that it’s not that one is it that one ah right choppy choppy I will get better at
This honest but you know it’s part of the discovery we must make it I mean that’s looking nice and tidy I think I found my calling in life it is to be a digital farmer I have played farming simulat before but that’s very complicated I feel this is going to be almost
Satisfying but it’s going to be more relaxing cuz Farming Simulator is quite stressful at times it’s also can be quite relaxing but trying to make money and that is hard work that looks good to me I mean that that is like an artist has made that right um that’s one way of
Holding the seeds this looks good how do I know is it well I don’t know that looks good we’ve planted a lot interesting I’ve planted them all I’ve got my watering can I look like I know what I’m doing look at that and it said water them every day
Didn’t it we know how to go to bed but we do need to go to town I mean that is good good first work isn’t it I think so so the idea with each of these episodes is I’m going to do them half an hour each you know so when we
Get to there we will say bye-bye and hopefully you feel a bit more relaxed and chill then you have a good day with this game play I’ll keep it as relaxing and chill as I possibly can right so let’s look at that thing again so we got
That cultivate and harvest a p it we did that water every day okay that’s cool we should probably go town then so I F I had somewhere a map didn’t I is it on here there we go bus stop backwards where’s town that way all right let’s go on our little exploration
Oh that is cute little squirrel Beautiful we appear to have some money this looks nice what is that that’s a question mark let’s see who’s in here what is this funny enough a shop hello ah welcome to Pier I need some supplies this is from our French knowledge Pierre is a French name I think he would have I
Little like some you want the positive seeds blood seeds in the spring takes four days to mature the bean starter 10 days to mature oh interesting cauliflower seeds how rich am I be I have 500 gold I could buy everything I do love potatoes I’m going to buy some
Potatoes oh yeah these are expensive multiple potatoes at Harvest I don’t care I’m going to get I’m going to go wild and buy four potato seeds yeah uh do I need more postive seeds huh maybe let’s see I will buy some more beautiful H thank you be who

I don’t want to offend anyone if I offend every everyone that’s quite possible anyone I apologize but sometimes it helps to add a little bit if you give some sort of accent H can you smell that is AA I think that’s good for this guy I don’t want any of your
Stuff my friend I’m too skinned but I like your place it does look cool who’s this lady down is this a lady Evelyn why hello and welcome to our little Community dear you can call me Granny if you like interesting I don’t even know but you’re going to be me

New moves in having a farm around could really change things okay what about you you don’t want to talk to me okay there is a dude there with glasses and he looks well cool I need to go and see him not you dude you look quite cool as
Well but this dude don’t run away Harvey have a pleasure to meet you I’m Harvey the local doctor I don’t know why he got that accent and again I will forget it but I quite like the idea I perform regular checkups some medical procedures for in Residence of Pelican Tawn it’s

The map shouldn’t I oops how do I see the map again one of these isn’t it that one I’m nearly there I think there’s a bridge you reckon there’s a troll lives on the bridge maybe um I think I’ve got lost I’m sure my house wasn’t this far away
Maybe it is through that little bit that we were just in still got a bit of ah okay so if you look top right we’ve got what time of day it is and we’re getting on a little bit look at this this looks cool I can’t get through though
Um can I go along here wow uh where’s my tools let’s chop my way through I don’t know where I’m going though is the problem uh hello your pickaxe isn’t strong enough to break this Boulder Fair Deuce oh okay sorry I’m just trying to get back to my house I I appear to have got lost and I don’t want to be in dark in the words this is supposed to be relaxing look at this dump where the heck am I I’ve got very lot I found a
Cave ah there we go we’ve made it back home is this all mine I don’t know it is very interesting now I like it right let’s plant my potatoes you reckon I should keep potato separate ah let’s just Chuck them in here that’ be fine I’m sure I can work it
Out what this more par steps I think so we’re getting tired and it’s nearly night time I think we’ve had a productive F oops I didn’t mean to do that just destroyed something yeah a productive first day look at my energy just tiring I’ve still
Had nothing to eat I feel a bit sorry for my dude we’ve got no food for him and he’s gone all that day done all that work and we got nothing but we’re going to have to go to bed hungry and think about how we can get some
Food sleepy times yes I need to go to sleep your progress has been saved beautiful uh another day another dollar how do I get food how do I know if I’m hungry I’ve got any again do I need to eat I got a message interesting Nice I’m liking the music it is very relaxing the question is is it relaxing to watch as well as to play you tell me hello hello there just got back from a fishing trip you should come down to the beach sometime I’ve got something for you Willie I’m liking the sound of
This dude how do I get out here Willie how do I know where the beach Is uh wasn’t that button new the beach someone named Willie invited you to visit the beach south of town he says something he has something to give you visit the beach South Town before 5:00 p.m. well let’s go oh hang on I need to um get a bit of
Water first Willie I’ve just got to finish finish this bit but I will go and see Willie just after that uh where the heck hang on not that where is there some water down to the right by that L things Reon I just go to a lake to fill
Up my Waring can I don’t know we’ll soon find out Though maybe we’ll just end up seeing Willie I don’t want salty water though do I that probably kill everything never mind let’s just go and see Willie the plants can wait a little while is this the beach there’s a sewer that doesn’t sound very nice I hope Willie doesn’t want to
Make me go in the sewer that would be Bad is this Willie Willie looks like a py I feel like I’m in Monkey Island oh please tell me you’re going to teach me to fish Willie yo oh hi there son heard there was a newcomer in town good to finally meet you thank thanks Willie nice to meet you
Too ah I’m still trying to unwind from a month out on the salty Seas it was a big Hall I sold a lot of good fish finally saved enough to P me a new rot thanks Willie here I want you to have my old fishing rod that’s important to me that
The art of fishing stays alive and hey maybe you’ll buy something from the shop once in a while look at that we can go fishing you received a bamboo pole I’m very excited what do we do with it wiie there’s a good water here in the
Valley all coins of fish go on then how do I fish oh yeah my Shop’s back open now so come buy if you need supplies I’ll also buy anything you catch if it smells it sells he that’s what my old papy used to say anyway nice to see you

Confusing ah this is making no sense to me at all ah hang on that’s some sort of holding X but it’s it’s a weird system I suppose I’ve got to try and keep it in the green somehow have I that is really weird
I got it I don’t know how I was sort of randomly hitting X to get it but we have a herring 8 in of Herring that is very very interesting I am very happy with said Herring um should we do one more and then we’ll see whether we can sell something to
Willie come on H come on oh I got it right let’s see if we can do this a bit better oops I’m obviously going to need to learn to Master’s fishing we’ll have one more Go I mean fishing is relaxing right not when I do it like that it isn’t one more
