In Stardew Valley, a fictional place where my fictional character inherited a fictional farm, I have three cows, two sheep, a pig and a rabbit. I have a kitchen stocked with potatoes, olive oil, radishes and a lot of fish. I have three boyfriends and two girlfriends. I have many hats.

I’ve been playing, according to the in-game counter, for more than 70 hours. Many people on Reddit threads and wikis (one of my most-visited websites on Chrome is the Stardew Valley Wikia) have been playing for multiples of that, set up full-scale farming operations and raked in more gold per day than I’ve ever amassed.
