Why Do Stardew Valley Pros Take these Weird Half Steps?

Stardew Valley 1.6 is rapidly approaching, and as such, I wanted to focus on some Stardew Valley Tips to help you know all the Stardew Valley Trivia that you could ever know! Let me know if there's anything else you guys want me to talk about! Stardew Valley Speedruns are so interesting! This is not 100 Days of Stardew Valley or any Stardew Valley Mods, nor Stardew Valley Mobile 1.5!

Imagine how that would look for the townspeople 😭 'Why the heck are you walking like that?' 'I NEED IT TO RAIN TOMORROW'

[idonthavenetfliix]

whenever someone brings up how npcs feel about the player in terraria and all their crazy shenanigans, i always know that stardew valley npcs probably have it worse when the new farmer in their town is walking like he’s afraid to land on a mine

[NekoEchoflower]

It's funny to think about npc's starting to use the player as a way to predict the weather
"Ah look! The farmer is half stepping, seems like it's gonna rain tomorrow"

[alexbruh]

Imagine living peacefully then a new person moves into you town and it proceed to rain for the rest of the year without pause

[thegreatbaconlord]

Imagine walking around and you saw someone moving like that, im running as fast as my body can go

[butterwutterfly]

This is the irl equivalent of walking weird so you don't crease your shoes

[pedrokist]

"Why farmer walks like that??" "Dunno but aparentlly its like a rain dance"

[annie_bananiee]

“There goes the farmer again, defying the laws of physics so it can rain.”

[Not_the_real_Kermit]

If a half step doesn't count, wouldn't it be possible to 100% the game without taking a step?

In the most recent large update of stardew concerned Abe actually changed how RNG works making this no longer viable unless you click the classic RNG option

[kadeshadow]

'Why on Earth are you walking like that?' 'Its my rain dance.'

[Esmerthethjojo]

If there is one thing pokemon and stardew valley players have in common, its probably countimg their steps

[Jurassic_Animator]

I dont even care about the game or the speedrun, but i still watched it until the end bc the short is good.

[seagullman]

This has the same energy as competitive pokemon players breeding thousands of eggs in order to the perfect IV spread

[anggiangkasa]

Sometimes i wonder are they happy playing the game while have to do things like that?

[lisap]

how many steps do I need for it to rain? or do I need less than fur sunny weather? or how does it work?

[ANaemICantSpel]

'please, just take a full step, it's too much rain, you need to take a step and it'll clear up, please😢'

[Ghastly_Dysphoria]

"Ever since that new guy with a limp moved to town, its been raining nonstop..."

[SuperDominicS]

I've never seen this game before but I like the implementation of rain not being rng, since it is seemingly random for a normal player but a speedrunner has access to this mechanic manipulation.

[engelberthovel]

It’s so unsettling, imagine seeing a guy walking around like that if you were one of the townspeople 😭
