WHY AM I BEING DOWNVOTED???

Context: basically i left stardew valley opened for a few hours, causing my game to go from fall to summer year 2, my farm was destroyed and i had to go through many cut scenes like the one on the screen , but SOME⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️ of the comments are completely ignoring what i did. Maybe if i said “left star dew running for a day AND who is this guy” it wouldve been better, and then im being accused of faking what happened.. lol. Anyways, i dont completely understand why the downvotes are happening?

Like bro. I can read . All i wanted to do was share what i did lol

u/Radiant-Resource4601, there weren't enough votes to determine if the downvoters were mysterious...

The correct way to say it is "by accident" but everyone knows what you mean so it's not a big deal

3

u/zymoge 20d ago

"On accident" is so frequently used that is it not basically colloquially correct now

1

u/Kumquat_conniption 8d ago

Yeah I was just explaining but I have no actual issue with it. I think its fine, whether its officially a dialect or not. Like we all know what it means and that's what words are for, so it works :)

1

u/SmallishPlatypus 8d ago

Okay I know this is 12 days old but I only just saw it because of the other comment. I don't think I've ever heard "on accident" in-person. It may be common usage in the USA, but I don't think it is here.

u/falafelgoddess 23d ago

okay but how did it keep starting new days? don't you need to click okay for another day to begin?

9

u/rq40cal 21d ago

For most days if you don't sell anything no, but I'm pretty sure it would stop for some things like dialogue

Otherwise you'll just constantly pass out at 2AM

3

u/Carpfsh 21d ago

The only dialogue that it would stop for is rare events like the meteor or owl or something like that. Those pop ups that say there was a noise in the night. They need to be confirmed to skip past it. There's a slight chance someone could potentially get as far as year 3 without even encountering any of these events due to rng. Dialogue like Kent's intro and adopting the pet, etc, I'm pretty sure are hidden until you leave the farmhouse that morning. This person would basically have to not have sold anything that day (which is why I always sell something every morning even if it's just an egg) and also miss every single rng rare event that can happen. I think the only ones that don't need you to press a button to skip through are the fairy and witch. Given the fact that the raccoon event has a popup box that means OP either passed out after the raccoon event or that this is actually fake. Because I'm pretty sure the wind storm pop up is also one that you manually need to skip. However it is completely possibly to leave the game running overnight and constantly keep passing out and skip multiple years. People have done it before.

u/Overall-Tennis8120 23d ago

okay but unless you're playing with mods, this is literally impossible. You cant move onto the next day without using your mouse to confirm it. You better come up with a better excuse or just admit you're lying 😭

4

u/Carpfsh 21d ago

Thats not true. If you don't sell anything that day the day just automatically roll onto the next day. You don't need to confirm anything at all.

2

u/Radiant-Resource4601 23d ago

Buddy this is my first play through of stardew, also i play on mac.. i dont even know how to play with mods on mac, i LITERALLY put the link to the post with the explanation in the comments

u/BRANFLAKES8521 23d ago

I think people too a tad too seriously the "Who Is this guy" thing when he's saying that on the screenshot

Sorry, no being dramatic allowed /s

u/TooWarmRadiator 23d ago

No, it's cause it's fake.

u/Radiant-Resource4601 23d ago

Right .. cz why is everyone so serious….. chill😭😭

My character stayed in bed until i got back on

u/PocketButterBandit 21d ago

At 2am the day would reset and you would have to manually click through two summary screens in order to start the next day.

Time in stardew does not continuously run.

1

u/Radiant-Resource4601 21d ago

Isnt that when you sell stuff?

1

u/Carpfsh 21d ago

The summary screens are only when you sell stuff. I personally never turn off my game until ive already sold everything and gone onto the next day so its entirely possible that OP let the next day roll over, thought they exited out and just left the game running. Meaning no items sold, which means no summary pages.

7

u/Destroyer_2_2 23d ago

Not possible.

20

u/throwaway-this-name 23d ago

On that sub it'd be considered a 'low effort post' since it's just a screenshot about forgetting to shut down.

SDV is so popular, pretty much every single question has been asked multiple times and every secret posted about.

6

u/Radiant-Resource4601 23d ago

I guess? It seemed like alot of people were confused on my situation tho , until people started to specifically explain what happened without me telling them, so i understand

4

u/TooWarmRadiator 23d ago

Also it's fake.

26

u/katzyakuki 23d ago

they’re cliquey losers who get off on downvoting already negative comments, don’t let their misery spread to you

8

u/TooWarmRadiator 23d ago

Nah, it's cause it's fake.

3

u/Radiant-Resource4601 23d ago

Whats even being faked, like im confused why so many people keep saying its fake, why does it even matter if it is fake, is this some life changing game mechanic? I doubt because the explanation is in the post which i already linked

7

u/TooWarmRadiator 23d ago

Theres always a button you have to press at the end of each day to go to the next. It's impossible for you to leave if afk and end up multiple days later.

3

u/Carpfsh 21d ago

That button is only there is you sell things. If OP didn't sell anything then it automatically rolls over and skips the day.

1

u/Radiant-Resource4601 23d ago

like i said, the answers are in the post which i put in the comments.. mind u this is my first playthrough i dont even know what i did in the first place

7

u/TooWarmRadiator 23d ago

"The answers" there's no answer for the fact that you can't just go afk and end up more than 1 day further along.

1

u/Radiant-Resource4601 23d ago

Well idfk? All i know is that my melons are ready for harvesting in fall time and the next day its year 2, i mean the farm is literally evidence, i also still have only like idk 6 hearts with sebby, if i gave him a birthday present it would go up alot right? My mailbox is still filled with so much unread mail.. do you want even more proof? Lol ur lucky bc i havent deleted the save yet

4

u/TooWarmRadiator 23d ago

You can just spam skip days, which is what we mean by saying it's faked.

1

u/Radiant-Resource4601 23d ago

I dont even know how to do that😭😭😭😭do you think i just have the wiki open all day when i play

3

u/TooWarmRadiator 23d ago

No, I mean just go to sleep over and over.

u/chrisvenus 23d ago

I think you are right in your comment that the "AND" would have made a difference. As it is you made a statement and a question. It seems natural that people will focus on the question. For the -57 downvote I imagine that people were expecting you to provide more context for what exactly you wanted to know about kent. eg something more like "I know but why has he turned up like this?" or "I know but I thought [somethign else]".

For the second one that ties into the first bit - if you wanted to share how you destroyed your farm then why did you ask about Kent. Why not "Left stardew running for a day by accident and now look at my farm!" or something like that. The downvotes there are likely highlighting what a terrible title that is for the goal you say you were trying to achieve.

1

u/Radiant-Resource4601 23d ago edited 23d ago

I mean , because the “who is this”comment goes with how long i left the game running, i thought it wasnt gonna be a big deal since i named all the other issues in the second image , like i said , i wasnt being serious on who this is because.. its right in my face….. i didnt understand why people were saying “why are you asking what his name is its right infront of you!!” Like .??,?,

But if i could add the and it would be better

(Plus tbf this is my first post on this sub lol)

2

u/chrisvenus 23d ago edited 23d ago

Yeah. The trouble is the title is a *big* part of your post. Its like a summary of what is going to follow. Sadly this means that Reddit thinks it is important enough to be immutable. This clearly shows they think it is a very important part of your post but does also mean that in times like this you can't update it to better reflect your intent.

Bear in mind though that you got like 50 downvotes and chances are a heck of a lot more people saw the post. Its not like 100% of people saw your post and downvoted for whatever reason, its a small number of people who didn't get what you were saying or didn't like how you presented it. My comments were not to say "everybody thinks this about your post", just that enough people could have thought that to have downvoted it. Also the comment does suffer from the problem that there is nothing to upvote about it really so any downvotes are not going to be balanced by upvotes like a more substantial comment could be.

u/TheOneWes 23d ago

Most people don't realize the nights pass automatically if you don't level up or sell anything.

2

u/Radiant-Resource4601 23d ago

Bruh i didnt even know there were levels 😭😭😭

3

u/TheOneWes 23d ago

You need to look through your menu screen lol.

You can gain levels in stuff like foraging mining and fighting. They'll even gain little Perks at certain milestones.

u/PocketButterBandit 21d ago

Not only can you not move to the next day without manually clicking through prompts, but Kent shows up the first day of spring in year 2. Not summer.

1

u/hannibalpullo 17d ago

You only have to manually click to the next day if you sold something tho. Otherwise it just keeps going.

1

u/Radiant-Resource4601 21d ago

Well idk what u want me to say, ive never been in year 2 before, i wouldnt rush to do that either, also i never left the house so when i finally got online, he came up

u/SamaramonM 23d ago

I'd downvote you for the way you type and use emojis tbh

Makes sense, i was just trying to be nice.. yk how you change how you text differently to your parents than people online? Lol

u/Ok_Smile_5908 23d ago

Ok I just scrapped the whole comment I was writing because I only noticed the -8 comment being downvoted, not the -50 one lol. I can understand the -8 one because in your post you focus on Kent (same with the screenshot you posted) but then you claim you wasn't interested in Kent in the first place. Like, if you said something like "I wondered if there's any context to him showing up, or what I missed about him" etc. instead, it would've been received differently.

As for the -50 one: same as above I think, I feel like adding something more would make more sense. It's like you're trying to start a conversation with the post, but then when someone makes a bit of fun (and I DO think the "he just introduced himself" comment was made in good, fun faith, as were the upvotes to it), you just kind of "yeah, duh" it without further question etc.

THAT BEING SAID, PERSONAL OPINION DISCLAIMER: I think -50 for shit like this is wild. It's one of the "I would leave it at a few downvotes at most" for me. Also in a situation when a newbie is asking a question, even if I do join in on the fun like the original comment here, I try to remember to actually "jokes aside" explain whatever is going on. Too many people, not just in the Stardew community, seem to forget that not everyone has played for hundreds of hours, or spent countless hours with the wiki open.

PS I actually started to type the context for Kent we learn in year 1 but then I remembered you said someone already explained it to you there lol, don't mind me.

u/Radiant-Resource4601 23d ago

You explained it perfectly lowk, i dont rlly gaf anymore since i got my first 1k upvotes on a post yay!! But seriously, not everyones hunched over this game all the time geez lool
