#i'm taking a very slow approach to perfection in Safay's save

[landofdoom]

Sometimes, I do think about using twitch to livestream my game sessions. I won't, probably, because there's a lot of work and shit involved, and I already can't remember how to make OBS work. Mostly, I think about it because my mom enjoys watching as I play more than playing, herself, and we can come up with some really dumb/bad/enjoyable-to-us running jokes, but also to just be observed in my natural state of "?????", like Adventures of a Dumbass, or something.

For instance: my Stardew Valley museum collection had been driving me berserk. Under my character's information, my collections of artifacts and minerals WERE COMPLETE... except for the lemon stone. Shit. Back to the bottom of the mines for magma geodes. After cracking open a few, huzzah, lemon stone!

I took it to the museum. I donated it. Nothing happened. Not even a basic reward. Shouldn't... shouldn't something happen, for finding ALL of the specimens? My UI says I did! There is, however, no way in-game to ascertain what is missing. You can't even check it on the perfection tracker in the island coconut room.

Maybe it's the prismatic shard? I only had the one to upgrade my sword at first, but I have a few more on reserve now. I'll just take one of those! I did. Nothing happened.

I go to the wiki. I should get a crystalarium, a stardrop, and an achievement for a complete museum. I know I have not received the latter two yet. I compare a screenshot of a completed museum to a screenshot of mine. The most frustrating Spot The Differences I've ever played begins. I. Cannot. Find. What's. Missing.

Until suddenly, I could. THREE things?! Yes! The number of open spaces on my displays confirms it! AND GUESS WHAT THEY WERE.

A diamond. An emerald. An amethyst. Utter basic bitch minerals. That I had been hoarding back in the early game for gifting and crafting, and just because Minecraft has trained me to hoard diamonds in general, and I just... never went back to donate one later.

I AM IN SUMMER OF YEAR TWELVE.

Anyway, Safay's museum is finished.
