What happens when cozy farming meets complicated feelings? In this episode, Shirley is joined by writer and zine-maker Mia Arias Tsang for a heartfelt, cozy, and sometimes spicy deep dive into the relationships of Stardew Valley. From the tension between Robin and Demetrius, Emily and Sandy’s bond across the desert, and Mayor Lewis and Marnie’s small-town secrets, we’re exploring how love, friendship, and identity show up in Pelican Town and what that says about us as players.
