Stardew Valley....

It's been a while since I last played Stardew properly; Properly as a 'main game' rather than a faff about with patch/update/new items(it's been over two years!). Although I do admit I did miss out/didn't do some stuff from previous iterations.

While the same faff about gameplay is needed with version 1.5, there's so much to it that it needs the game played 'properly'; To both see and do all that the update brings. 

It is such a big update! Just reading the notes is daunting....  Stardew Valley 1.5 Update 

Going over the notes I really do want to do/see it all!

The amount of new content that I want to see and do is both making me want to jump back in and at the same time not! A great game with great content and updates over years ...... But 1.5 now is too much of a good thing!!!!!!

And all that gets to about halfway through the notes!!!!!!!

So many new items..... Hats, Rings(Soul Sapper Ring restores a bit of energy after slaying a monster), clothing, weapons, furniture..... At this stage I'm not sure what I've missed previously and whats new new.

Sooooooooooooo much to do....
