After 3 years, I have finally achieved perfection in Stardew Valley. My thoughts?
This game is absolutely not what it seems. It is not a cute cottage-core farming sim. This is a game about drug production and distribution.

The Poppy flower in game is, at a surface level, inconspicuous. That is, until, you realize its crafting recipes. With the correct items, you can turn a poppy into a Poppyseed muffin. What's so wrong with that? Well, the Poppyseeds used in Poppyseed muffins only come from a specific type of Poppy, the Papaver somniferum. This type of Poppy is also the same breed used for the production of Opium.

In Stardew Valley, you can begin the mass production of Opium, while living off of the grid, all while paying zero taxes. All of your money is presumably laundered by Mayor Lewis to ensure you can get millions of gold from your lucrative Opium business. This is not a cute and cuddly relaxing game. In this game, you become Doihara Kenji, convicted war criminal.

And for this, I cannot recommend Stardew Valley enough. Live out your fantasies of being an exceedingly wealthy Opium trader, all for the low, low cost of $14.99!!
