    Traveling in Iceland I was amused that ostensibly pagan creatures in their folklore (elves, dwarves, etc.) were sometimes Christian. Maybe they were singing a hymn in a story or were said to have a church inside of a boulder. Probably this was added later after Christianity became the dominant religion. Maybe this allows Krobus to be in a non-pagan religion.

    Are we sure that Yoba is the *only* religion in tardew Valley's world, though? It's the only one depicted, but there are other nations (such as the Gotoro Empire, which is the enemy nation in the war that Kent was fighting in), and maybe their culture (and religion) is very different.

    Excellent video! My personal theory is that Yoba is specifically a sun god, or maybe even a personification of the sun itself. There are a number of things that point this. Obviously yellow/gold, the color most associated with Yoba, is also the same color most associated with sunlight. Less obvious is that the Book of Yoba refers to Yoba as "golden light," and in the creation story, that light is presumably what allows the seed to sprout, reinforcing the idea that it's meant to be sunlight. Plus, the Yoba Shirt is created by tailoring Solar Essence. My favorite point of evidence is that plaque you mentioned at the forge on Ginger Island. The forge and that plaque are remnants of an ancient dwarven civilization, but the dwarves we meet in-game never mention Yoba at all, so it's curious that the symbol would appear on the plaque. Notably though, a book in the museum called "Mysteries of the Dwarves" posits that an advanced alien civilization that eventually became the dwarves crash landed on the planet and was driven underground because they "simply could not survive in our sunlight." Not only does this suggest that the Yoba symbol on that plaque could be the ancient dwarves depicting the sun that drove them underground, but it could also imply that Yoba is not seen as a benevolent god by everyone since the ancient dwarves would have seen it as a threat to their survival. Them disliking Yoba could even have been a contributing factor in the war between dwarves and shadow people, since the shadow people apparently do worship Yoba if Krobus is any indication. Food for thought, anyway. Thanks for awakening my theorycrafting brain, haha. I love this stuff!

    Detroit: Become Human. I Was A Teenage Exocolonist. Life Is Strange. The Cosmic Sisterhood. The Quarry. Stardew Valley. Horizon: Zero Dawn. I have spent hours upon hours on videogames like Fortnite and Overwatch 2. But I’ve only truly connected to the ones listed above, and more in a similar vein that aren’t currently coming to mind. What I would give to create something like the games that have inspired me- games that are part of who I am today- is nothing short of my soul.

    Wow. I've been coding for nearly four decades and currently trying to learn a microsoft full stack application and I keep wondering why I've not really learning after 18 months when until now that's been my strength. I recently figured it out - it's basically what you said about tutorials only working if you take the time to mess around with it.. That's me - I'll figure out a JQuery problem and then go back to how to make razor write that JQuery to the page and I never LEARNED from it, I got it working and moved on cos "must deliver!". *I couldn't agree with you more, if you read up on something you'll only learn when you push yourself trying things out - where were you 18 months ago!!* 😂

    So the religion in Stardew Valley is built around player convenience, much like the religion for most D&D games. In that, I mean that in D&D games, the gods tend to be built around cleric subclasses whereas in Stardew Valley, the featured god was built around farming (or general earth and fertility worship)

    Wonder if the next game will have Yoba references in it as well. With it in mind that the "sin" of this game being going against the planet's wishes, it would be weird to find out that a link to The Haunted Chocolatier is their world's "devil" is an avaricious Willy Wonka-esque character hellbent on unethical, unsustainable, soulless mass production.

      As someone who's been making vids for 10 years now, you'll get over it. Trust me, you're way more critical of your voice than anyone else. When you look in the mirror what do you think? That's me, right? When people see you in the street, they don't think that, you're just another person. Sometimes, insignificance is a good thing. Same holds for your voice. Work with it. Settle with it. Everyone who edits their vids has to listen to hours upon hours if their voice. Sometimes I listen to a take I did, and just repeat that in a mocking voice. Don't worry too much, you'll be fine
