Everyone: "Stardew Valley is a relaxing game" Me: "So, today I have to water the plants, fill the cat's water bowl, pet the cat, clean up my farm a little, watch TV, craft another chest and organize everything better, deliver stuff to Gunther, go to Clint to open geodes, buy a new fishing rod, catch a catfish, find a lost object, buy seeds, give a gift to my love interest, give a birthday present, talk to the most people I can find, look for forage stuff, check the traveling merchant, buy an upgrade, get copper at the mines, kill 10 slimes, deliver items for the Community Center, trigger a cutscene at a specific time and place, go back home and plant the seeds I bought and fertilize them, and all of that should be done before midnight"
This is actually an argument I made to a friend. I really want to play Stardew Valley and I do like it's look and everything but it isn't as relaxing to me as some people make it sound. It kind of stresses me out actually.
@@leioana I recommend playing it like this or using mods so you don't have to worry about money or some stuff. Mods don't take away the heart of the game and it's still fun.
@@ALEJOwhatever Thank you. I knew Mods existed but I didn't want to take from the game. I'll have to look into some Mods then to see which ones are best for me.
@@leioana It CAN be stressful but doesn't have to be. All the things the OP said above are true and are things you will do a lot of, but you never have to cram it all in one day. They aren't wrong by any means, but what I love about this game is you can make it whatever you want it to be. There are people that "min-max" the game, which is writing and following complicated plans to maximize the amount of money you make in the most efficient way possible. There are people that try to get everything done every day. There are people that spend all their time farming and never touch the mines unless they absolutely need to (and even then, it's not totally required because you can buy the ores you need, but it's REALLY not a good idea, as the mines are just way cheaper in the long run). I even have a friend that never farms or mines at all, they literally just fish everyday and that's it lol. So it can be complicated and stressful if you play it that way, but you don't have to. Nothing is ever truly on a schedule, and there's no reason to feel like the clock is ticking away, because there's nothing in the game that can't be done later. But also, if you want to mod, you still have control over how you want to play, because you could just use mods to save time on things you aren't interested in (like automatically maximizing NPC's relationship ranks instead of going and gifting things to them constantly). All I can really say is if you like the looks of the game, don't worry, just play however you enjoy it best. Mod it if you like, or not, but whatever you do, don't worry about feeling overwhelmed with anything. Practically everything in the game is optional.
my favorite thing about Linus' story is that while he is technically 'homeless' he doesn't see it that way. He likes his tent, and he likes living off the land and what he can forage and scrounge and the occasional kind donation from the townsfolk. He's literally living his dream, and I'm happy for him.
@@mrs7195 Yes! Stardew Valley does have a pretty great community! Most of the time I see the live chats for streams of Stardew being incredibly helpful instead of trolling
Lol, the Egg talk got me. The eggs we eat are unfertalized, meaning they would never have become chicks under any circumstance. So no worries there, Gab.
It depends on where you live. That's pretty true in the US, but in Europe and South America they don't have the same level of agricultural production, so some brands of eggs can be fertile and can actually be hatched if you take them home and put them in an incubator. It's all perspective, it's still just an egg.
@@Br0nto5aurus Very true. It's like people who look down on other cultures for eating horses or guinea pigs. Why is a horse more important than a cow? Or any animal than another? Persepective and how you were raised.
@@Br0nto5aurus In Europe eggs aren't fertilised, so i have no idea why you're saying europe has fertilised eggs (obvioulsy mistakes can happen on farms and eggs could get fertilised by accidentally introducing a male chick where the hens are kept but it is a rare scenario and can happen anywhere in the world, not just in europe)

If that is your skin without foundation and concealer on then there’s no hope for the rest of us lol. Very relaxing series so far btw, love watching them through and then going back and having them playing in the background while doing other things.
According to wiki luck affects quite a few things, the ones that concern you for now: Amount of wood dropped from trees Chance of getting coal from rocks Chance to discover ladders while Mining. Chance that crates spawn in the Mines Geode drop chance from rocks (Luck does not increase the chance to receive rare gems and artifacts from geodes). Chance of getting items from Garbage Cans and the chance the item is not trash. Chance of treasure appearing while Fishing. Chance to double the number of extra crops yielded at harvest, for crops that allow extra harvests (i.e., Coffee Bean, Potato, Tomato, Blueberry, Hot Pepper, Eggplant, Cranberry, and Strawberry). Amount of gold and items lost when dying in The Mines. Chance of finding gem nodes and mystic stones in The Mines.
There's so much about this game that makes you feel good. But at the same time there's enough down to earth things that keeps it from being sickeningly sweet. It's just such a fantastic game. It's a game I've not just purchased but bought again to gift to others because I want others to experience this delightful game.
Gab: I need a kitchen so that I can make Linus hot meal and take them to his tent Me: Gab is the cutest human ❤️ Gab: it’s nice to have no make up on Me: (just now noticing) Gab is Dutch goddess 😍
Leveling up gives you full energy the next day regardless of whether you even make it in your door. Keep most of your money either spent or bankrolled in your quest journal and you'll only lose like a dozen gold.
If you hold directional keys left/right of your direction while you charge up, you can aim the fishing rod a little left or right. Useful for hitting certain spots that aren't directly in front of you.
This series is seriously so helpful for me. I deal with chronic migraines and the relaxing nature of this game is a great distraction for when I’m in so much pain and anxious. You are awesome!!
I think I might make a twitch account just to watch these stardew streams, the back and forth between gab and the audience seems so fun! Plus I know a lot of little secrets and fun tips about thus game that would be fun to share :)
Highly recommend! Even if you're only able to catch a few streams live (like me lol) it's always a super chill and fun time. Gab's community is full of the nicest people :)
Been sitting in my truck most of the week, waiting for inspectors to look over various builds. These are an excellent, chill way to help the time pass. :)
@@spritsfal5088 Just a regular old truck. Most of the time we're kept hopping but when it comes to inspectors, you don't have much choice except to hangout and wait for them to make it to you. We do refinishing of basements and I guess you could argue that my truck is more or less my office, lol.
Linus is actually "living the life" you just don't know it yet and his house may look like a tent but it's strategically placed where he conducts his operation.
At exactly 1:50:34 I farted twice and Gab said “Do you guys hear that?” And I shit you not I got embarrassed 😳 then laughed out loud after she said magical sounds 😹😹😹😹
I've never really watched Gab before but her voice is so relaxing and Stardew is such a lovely game. Cannot wait for more videos!! Will definitely be playing these while I work 🥰

My grown ass 36 year old husband, who builds truck motors and drives a tow truck, who in my opinion is super manly, LOVES your 'dont be suspicious' song. He gets all excited when you sing it. It is a pretty dang adorable song! Thanks for always making us smile. Happy New Year Gab
28:35 Yeah... my heart hurts for the homeless. Most of them just can’t hold jobs because of mental or physical issues. I suffer from anxiety and depression, so I know it must just be impossible for some of them. Unfortunately, America doesn’t take care of these issues. Mental problems are especially looked down on and the people are just discarded. It’s not humane. We have to seriously take a look at caring for people who can’t care for themselves and help. I for one don’t care if my taxes are raised to help those in need. As long as it’s going to them. That as another problem though. Kindness is something we can all do though.
with slimes, you should initially try to get close to them and hit them while they're preparing to jump, and just keep timing it like that while backing them into a corner. then you can start spam clicking once they're backed against a rock or wall
Alex: "I try to eat 3 eggs everyday." Gab: "Jeez Alex, that's a but much. 3 every day?" Gaston: "When I was a lad I ate 4 dozen eggs, every morning to help me get large! But now as a man I eat 5 dozen eggs, so I'm roughly the size of a Barge!"
Love hearing the helpful tips the stream has. Especially things like chest organizing and selecting items with the scroll wheel. Things that took me forever to learn on my own.
Gab's vids are perfect for multitasking. 1. Long, so as to not have to constantly watch your queue, 2. interesting tho you don't have to look at the screen to know what's going on (but I can and the games are always so gorgeous) 3. and not to mention soothing with such positive vibes! Doing my art projects with this in the background makes me so much more productive :)
when Gab tried to eat the seaweed but was still standing on the stairs in the mines gave me PTSD lmaoooo. I've mistook "leave the mine" as eating stuff so many timesss
I love Gus for offering food to Linus but Linus ' life style is survival. He is not in need he just wants to live like that without being threated like a beggar so his face falls when Gus offer him food.
I think Gab is the best. its been almost a year since I last visited her channel. there are many gamers youtube channels out there. Some are very good, some are unfairly "hotcrap" when they should not. There are even some very good Stardew Valley "let's play"s out there. But in the end, WHEN I REWATCHED THIS old SERIES of hers [ right now] I say she is the best. She has a great Finnish heart. SHE HUGS all her animals [....Does gab remember her comment in one of her videos to her farm animals. when chasing them to give them hugs.. "...you can't escape my love..."]. She is so attentive to petting and caring for her cat or dog, usually her cat. She praises the kindness given to Linus by Gus. She gets into the stories. Even when she plays Nancy Drew and other mystery puzzle games, she is good and has a relationship with her fans and chat. She is a great feline human being. And, she has the BEST GAMER cat in all of youtube!!
Love watching the peaceful foraging and farming life. I honestly want to be like the main character of this game. Leave my boring city life behind and start a farm. I know its hard but I think it would be worth it. Happy New year!!!
see, that is why Gab is the best. there are MANY Stardew Valley videos let's plays. Some by famous youtube Stardew gamer channels. But in the end, Gab is the best. she has a big heard and really gets in the game. She is unforgettable and inspirational. Remember the name. Gab Smolders. She does have a lot of tattoos though. But still....
Not me rewatching this after watching most of the stream ❤️ also bought this yesterday because of your videos and now I know I won’t see the light of day for a while lmal
Wow, she's had some amazing luck. I've only had the fairy a few times, and she gets it in her first game, and I've NEVER had the meteor, and she gets that too. Both in the first half of the first month. Wow!
I didn't get the meteor until, like, year 2 or 3 on the mobile version and it destroyed my fence that my crops were in. I think I got the fairy maybe once or twice on the mobile version. I haven't gotten either on my modded PC version, yet.
Oh also I don't know if anyone has told you (or if the thing I linked says it I don't remember): how far you cast your line while fishing can give you different types of fish! So you can get different fish from a short cast than from a long one!
I really never comment on things but this has been such an important game to me especially with quarantine and even though you've just started playing it it brings me sm comfort, that's all 👉👈
Gabs I have to say that you are very calming and I enjoy listening to you when I want to watch something easy or just for background noise. Also, thank you for introducing HOGs to me. I've gotten several that I absolutely enjoy playing casually and it's all because you introduced them to me.
For some reason, this series of Gabs is my comfort series and one I can also study with lol. I really enjoy rewatching her playthroughs of stardew valley
I got a few tips as a old player ,just in case someone needs these 1.Never build the coop before the silo 2.Try to not cut much grass before you get the silo .Because you might get low on hay ,and the hay that Marny sells costs an arm and a leg 3.Organise your chests(very self explenatory) 4.I cannot stress this enough .NEVER MISS A VILLAGERS BIRTHDAY .Even if you don't like them ,they are friends with benefits . 5.Always check the weather and luck .If you have good luck drop everything you are planning and go mining . Hopefully these helped someone.
Yay another one! Thank you for posting these on UA-cam, I dont have the time to watch them live on twitch and its easier to rewatch here. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you for doing Stardew Valley!! I have been enjoying your videos with my bestie! And going to Stardew Valley feels like a relaxing break that was needed!
I used to be a soft vegan; I allowed myself to eat animal by product as long as it taken ethically. Honey, eggs, and dairy. Eggs in all realistic ways are just embryos. They need that rooster. As long as the hen laid that egg naturally and not forced it is morally okay. Eggs inevitably will be laid by a hen regardless. If an egg isn’t eaten it is waste.
Hi Gab and HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021 TO YOU!!! I wanna thank you for all the content you did in 2020. I had so much fun during watching the gameplays you did und uploaded here on YT and of course at your live streams. So please continue doing it on 2021 for good entertainment. My best wishes for you that all what is coming is happen good to you. THANK YOU Gab.
@@annoyingperson The chance of getting it is super low however. Plus you need to be at least skill level 2 in fishing for it to appear in chests. So if someone is new to the game, getting it in a timely manner could prove challenging if you aren't good at fishing right off.
Haha, not a bad idea. I loved Alien Isolation so much, and it's SOOO stressful! Without spoiling anything, let me just tell you it only gets more nerve-wracking as you go deeper into the game!
came here to watch these stardew videos after the stressful af day we had here in the US. Thank you for providing a moment of fun and relaxation in an otherwise chaotic world
Started watching this series after the Expanded series started and man this is great. I wish I had found Gab sooner rather than through Jack but I'm here now!!
hi Gab! new viewer here! I started watching you a couple of months ago from one of your Nancy Drew streams! I've been playing those games since I was a kid! anyway, I've just started playing stardew valley the day you uploaded your first stream of it! so it was perfect to experience this together! thank you for being awesome! ♡
Gab what are you even talking about LOL. 58:36 - You are not eating chicken embryos, the eggs aren't fertile, there is no baby chick in the egg at ALL. Only in extremely rare cases will one go through, but when it does it is EXTREMELY obvious because the egg will have clear signs of it and you shouldn't eat those anyway. The way egg farms are set up, the hens don't really come into direct contact with roosters, they lay eggs without mating, therefore you are not eating chicken embryos, you're eating the materials that make up the nutrition for a chick to consume as it grows. The stuff in eggs is meant to be eaten, by whatever entity is using it.
I love this relaxing playthrough, you are the first video I watch when I come home from work. Also I love the fact that you used the "Meme Time" theme of Sean's when you said "Mine Time", classic.
so i was having a bit of a rough morning, thought I would try your lets play and got through 4 hours in one sitting as I worked. this was the wholesome moon I needed. I never got into stardew valley in fear of missing out and how fast the days go, but I really got into the feel with your play. i will continue to watch all 45 of them :D glad you did this
I truly enjoy your videos. You make the games enjoyable to watch, and enjoyable. :) You're both funny and serious enough that I can actually sit and watch you play for hours. And I like that you play games I've enjoyed over the years and games I've never heard of. Thank you for being you Gab :) You are a cool human!
Gus part teult made my heart ache and I almost cried. Such a wholesome moment in a game during this horrible time in the real world 😭❤❤❤❤ I am having a really hard personal time since december and have extreme anxiety and watching you play this is so relaxing and happy and cute, none of my meds can't compete with that ^•^. But I am watching through Twitch cause it's addictive, but I wanna make sure to give likes and comments on each video for the algorithms and to let you know that, personally, if you play this forever, I'm happy 🤣❤❤❤❤❤ You're a lovely person and watching your streams and video always makes me happy and relaxed. You're not like other gamers ;) (sry, I'll go home now 😅)

Haha it's from the show Parks and Rec, and is used as a sound on TikTok a lot c:
@@casserpillar6311 but apparently it's Gab that really makes it special!
@@brittneyfiers4327 I see 😅
"it should produce a bar"
Me: puts ore in furnace
Furnace: *starts rapping*
28:35 Yeah... my heart hurts for the homeless. Most of them just can’t hold jobs because of mental or physical issues. I suffer from anxiety and depression, so I know it must just be impossible for some of them. Unfortunately, America doesn’t take care of these issues. Mental problems are especially looked down on and the people are just discarded. It’s not humane. We have to seriously take a look at caring for people who can’t care for themselves and help. I for one don’t care if my taxes are raised to help those in need. As long as it’s going to them. That as another problem though. Kindness is something we can all do though.
big facts
with slimes, you should initially try to get close to them and hit them while they're preparing to jump, and just keep timing it like that while backing them into a corner. then you can start spam clicking once they're backed against a rock or wall
Alex: "I try to eat 3 eggs everyday."
Gab: "Jeez Alex, that's a but much. 3 every day?"
Gaston: "When I was a lad I ate 4 dozen eggs, every morning to help me get large! But now as a man I eat 5 dozen eggs, so I'm roughly the size of a Barge!"
Love hearing the helpful tips the stream has. Especially things like chest organizing and selecting items with the scroll wheel. Things that took me forever to learn on my own.
They’re so patient and nice haha
When she said "Well it's ten Pm," My brain went "Do you know where your children are?"
Gab's vids are perfect for multitasking.
1. Long, so as to not have to constantly watch your queue,
2. interesting tho you don't have to look at the screen to know what's going on (but I can and the games are always so gorgeous)
3. and not to mention soothing with such positive vibes!
Doing my art projects with this in the background makes me so much more productive :)
"There's something in the sewer..."
The sewer: Fwoop~
People who have played the game enough know what is in the sewer or who (depends your perspective)
when Gab tried to eat the seaweed but was still standing on the stairs in the mines gave me PTSD lmaoooo. I've mistook "leave the mine" as eating stuff so many timesss
I love Gus for offering food to Linus but Linus ' life style is survival. He is not in need he just wants to live like that without being threated like a beggar so his face falls when Gus offer him food.
I think Gab is the best. its been almost a year since I last visited her channel. there are many gamers youtube channels out there. Some are very good, some are unfairly "hotcrap" when they should not. There are even some very good Stardew Valley "let's play"s out there. But in the end, WHEN I REWATCHED THIS old SERIES of hers [ right now] I say she is the best. She has a great Finnish heart. SHE HUGS all her animals [....Does gab remember her comment in one of her videos to her farm animals. when chasing them to give them hugs.. "...you can't escape my love..."]. She is so attentive to petting and caring for her cat or dog, usually her cat. She praises the kindness given to Linus by Gus. She gets into the stories. Even when she plays Nancy Drew and other mystery puzzle games, she is good and has a relationship with her fans and chat. She is a great feline human being. And, she has the BEST GAMER cat in all of youtube!!
It's currently 4am, and here I am watching you play and learn my favorite game and me playing along with you. Thanks for this amazing series Gab!
rewatching this series while also reading “It” for the first time and all of your pennywise references made me physically recoil LMAO thanks for that
Finally have the time to watch through this and I must say it makes me so happy seeing the way Gab treats Linus
Sean is rubbing off on you. Mine Time, LOL
Love watching the peaceful foraging and farming life. I honestly want to be like the main character of this game. Leave my boring city life behind and start a farm. I know its hard but I think it would be worth it. Happy New year!!!
thank you for these stardew vids gab, i really needed something like this
@Kanna doing the right thing don't be a dick. Not everyone has all the time and money to do things.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who leaves the berry bushes by the tent for Linus to pick 😅
see, that is why Gab is the best. there are MANY Stardew Valley videos let's plays. Some by famous youtube Stardew gamer channels. But in the end, Gab is the best. she has a big heard and really gets in the game. She is unforgettable and inspirational. Remember the name. Gab Smolders. She does have a lot of tattoos though. But still....
Not me rewatching this after watching most of the stream ❤️ also bought this yesterday because of your videos and now I know I won’t see the light of day for a while lmal
Wow, she's had some amazing luck. I've only had the fairy a few times, and she gets it in her first game, and I've NEVER had the meteor, and she gets that too. Both in the first half of the first month. Wow!
I didn't get the meteor until, like, year 2 or 3 on the mobile version and it destroyed my fence that my crops were in. I think I got the fairy maybe once or twice on the mobile version. I haven't gotten either on my modded PC version, yet.
Ik im super late to the thread but I got a meteor on my first night on my new farm I started a couple days ago and was so confused 🫠
Finding your channel was the best thing that came out of 2020. Thank you for all your videos!
Oh also I don't know if anyone has told you (or if the thing I linked says it I don't remember): how far you cast your line while fishing can give you different types of fish! So you can get different fish from a short cast than from a long one!
I've had this game for years and you just taught me something new lol
Thanks for the tip! :)
I really never comment on things but this has been such an important game to me especially with quarantine and even though you've just started playing it it brings me sm comfort, that's all 👉👈
Gab: "3 eggs every day?!"
me, eating 6 for most breakfasts: *sweats nervously* 😂😂
Lewis: Let the egg hunt begin!
Gab: What am I looking for?
This is the perfect series to start watching for the new year!!!! I hope its an extensive series!
Such a chill game and your gameplay style is so relaxing. Iove Stardew. The music alone will brighten your day. Thank you for sharing it with us. 😊
OMG I’ve been waiting for the next episode since I’m not able to watch the streams! Love ur work gab!
I'm doing a marathon of all your stardew valley videos and I'm having the most fun, you MADE my Sunday
Gabs I have to say that you are very calming and I enjoy listening to you when I want to watch something easy or just for background noise. Also, thank you for introducing HOGs to me. I've gotten several that I absolutely enjoy playing casually and it's all because you introduced them to me.
*Sees you going towards Robin's on a Tuesday morning*
Girl, she workin' out!
This is such a relaxing thing to watch!
This game is so chill. I could watch you play for hours even though I already played the game for like 900 hours
For some reason, this series of Gabs is my comfort series and one I can also study with lol. I really enjoy rewatching her playthroughs of stardew valley
ive never seen anyone beat abigail on their first try! well done gabs!
1:09:06 that actually scared the absolute shit out of me
I got a few tips as a old player ,just in case someone needs these
1.Never build the coop before the silo
2.Try to not cut much grass before you get the silo .Because you might get low on hay ,and the hay that Marny sells costs an arm and a leg
3.Organise your chests(very self explenatory)
4.I cannot stress this enough .NEVER MISS A VILLAGERS BIRTHDAY .Even if you don't like them ,they are friends with benefits .
5.Always check the weather and luck .If you have good luck drop everything you are planning and go mining .
Hopefully these helped someone.
Gab: *about the sea urchin* Should I sell this?
Me: NOO
Samee 😁 my heart dropped
Omg. We dont eat fertilized eggs with our breakfast.
They are unfertilized. They are not embryos.
Well, you still can eat fertilized one, unless it is... you know... half hatched. But, in some (Asian) countries half-hatched egg is a delicacy.
Yeah some people absolutely do eat fertilized eggs. Gabs clarified what she meant though.
Watching this while eating my new years dinner, thanks for making an unusually lonely new years way better and cozier ^^
Hope you have a great New Year!
@@baileybb4 You too! ^^
Yay another one! Thank you for posting these on UA-cam, I dont have the time to watch them live on twitch and its easier to rewatch here. Looking forward to the next one.
Happy New Year everyone!! So happy this channel has been here for my everyday life throughout this though year!
Heck yeah, waited for this, time to watch this to celebrate the new year!
Thank you for doing Stardew Valley!! I have been enjoying your videos with my bestie! And going to Stardew Valley feels like a relaxing break that was needed!
I used to be a soft vegan; I allowed myself to eat animal by product as long as it taken ethically. Honey, eggs, and dairy. Eggs in all realistic ways are just embryos. They need that rooster. As long as the hen laid that egg naturally and not forced it is morally okay. Eggs inevitably will be laid by a hen regardless. If an egg isn’t eaten it is waste.
Hi Gab and HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021 TO YOU!!! I wanna thank you for all the content you did in 2020. I had so much fun during watching the gameplays you did und uploaded here on YT and of course at your live streams. So please continue doing it on 2021 for good entertainment. My best wishes for you that all what is coming is happen good to you. THANK YOU Gab.
When you're lucky and go fishing, you could actually fish a strong sword!
This just happened to me, I fished a level 5 sword out of the ocean 😂 Having a good sword right off the bat makes the early level mines so much easier
I wish I knew that when I first started!
@@annoyingperson The chance of getting it is super low however. Plus you need to be at least skill level 2 in fishing for it to appear in chests. So if someone is new to the game, getting it in a timely manner could prove challenging if you aren't good at fishing right off.
I love your Stardew series Gab, a much appreciated relaxing break after a stressful day working from home.
a nice relaxing start to 2021.
happy new year gab and community.
I can tell this series is going to be amazing gab! I hope you have a Happy New year 😊
Loving this series. So chill.
Im currently on my first playthough of alien isolation and I keep bouncing back to this to keep my heart steady.
Haha, not a bad idea. I loved Alien Isolation so much, and it's SOOO stressful! Without spoiling anything, let me just tell you it only gets more nerve-wracking as you go deeper into the game!
came here to watch these stardew videos after the stressful af day we had here in the US. Thank you for providing a moment of fun and relaxation in an otherwise chaotic world
I really enjoy this playthrough, & seeing you play has made me buy Stardew for my PC & switch!
Started watching this series after the Expanded series started and man this is great. I wish I had found Gab sooner rather than through Jack but I'm here now!!
hi Gab! new viewer here! I started watching you a couple of months ago from one of your Nancy Drew streams! I've been playing those games since I was a kid! anyway, I've just started playing stardew valley the day you uploaded your first stream of it! so it was perfect to experience this together! thank you for being awesome! ♡
Gab what are you even talking about LOL. 58:36 - You are not eating chicken embryos, the eggs aren't fertile, there is no baby chick in the egg at ALL. Only in extremely rare cases will one go through, but when it does it is EXTREMELY obvious because the egg will have clear signs of it and you shouldn't eat those anyway. The way egg farms are set up, the hens don't really come into direct contact with roosters, they lay eggs without mating, therefore you are not eating chicken embryos, you're eating the materials that make up the nutrition for a chick to consume as it grows. The stuff in eggs is meant to be eaten, by whatever entity is using it.
Spending the last few hours of 2020 with Stardew Gabbie. All the best for Evelien after reaching 500k subscribers and keeping her amazing vibe. 😇😊
I love this relaxing playthrough, you are the first video I watch when I come home from work. Also I love the fact that you used the "Meme Time" theme of Sean's when you said "Mine Time", classic.
A nice break between watching a lot of horror game playthroughs! I loved this game for such a long time and I’m happy you’re playing it.
so i was having a bit of a rough morning, thought I would try your lets play and got through 4 hours in one sitting as I worked. this was the wholesome moon I needed.
I never got into stardew valley in fear of missing out and how fast the days go, but I really got into the feel with your play. i will continue to watch all 45 of them :D glad you did this
I'm loving the new editing style, its very adorable and highlights my favourite moments :)
Happy New Year Gab!
i love that sparkles that popped up when Gab put on her glasses
51:11 gab- oh you can plant coffee?
jack in the other room- COFFEE!?
Very relaxing. I've gotta check this game out.
I truly enjoy your videos. You make the games enjoyable to watch, and enjoyable. :) You're both funny and serious enough that I can actually sit and watch you play for hours. And I like that you play games I've enjoyed over the years and games I've never heard of. Thank you for being you Gab :)
You are a cool human!
this video right here, gonna be the last video i watch in 2020 and start 2021 with it. happy new year goobers and everyone here!
Gus part teult made my heart ache and I almost cried. Such a wholesome moment in a game during this horrible time in the real world 😭❤❤❤❤ I am having a really hard personal time since december and have extreme anxiety and watching you play this is so relaxing and happy and cute, none of my meds can't compete with that ^•^. But I am watching through Twitch cause it's addictive, but I wanna make sure to give likes and comments on each video for the algorithms and to let you know that, personally, if you play this forever, I'm happy 🤣❤❤❤❤❤ You're a lovely person and watching your streams and video always makes me happy and relaxed. You're not like other gamers ;) (sry, I'll go home now 😅)
Happy New Year Gab! Awww, Stardew the ASMR of gaming.
This eases my anxiety so good.
WE LOVE A WHOLESOME GAB LETS PLAY!!! 💛💛💛 (love the horror games but this is a sweet break) I can’t wait for more :D
your pfp is cute
@@silverraxtus9622 hehe thanks! That’s my guinea pig, Pipin!
