I joined Joja Mart

omg i love you doing the joja route and only befriending caroline. you're ruining pierre's livelihood AND stealing his wife hahaha

I don't shop at Pierre's out of principal. I do it because it's closer and your character moves at the speed of a snail

"Marnie decided to clock in today" IS THE REALEST THING IVE EVER HEARD that woman is never at her till when I need her istg

16:07 irony is Pierre wants to become "The Man" Later dialogue in the game he expresses his wishes to open up his shops across the country. Basically his dream is to become Joja Mart but "His" Joja Mart.

I like how Morris said he'd demolish Pierre's Shop, as if that isnt also his house, the church and half of the hospital.

I actually had fun with my Joja playthrough. The consequences of joining aren't really that bad, nobody except Pierre actually cares, and the community still improves by the end. It would've been more realistic if Joja corp completely took over pierre's store, marnie's ranch, Robin's carpentry business, and the fishing lodge as you ascend through the ranks; and the townspeople all become blue collar workers for Joja. Someone should make this mod right now lol

A joja run is the best time to do an overall "evil" playthrough where you make all the dick-moves in the game, including: -romancing EVERY NPC in order to get the special "cheater" cutscenes -divorcing a spouse -turning your children into doves in the witch's house -force Krobus to move out of the sewers into your home to be your roommate -picking all of the obviously bad dialogue options -putting the mayor's purple shorts in the luau soup -putting the shorts in the grange display -trimming the shorts to wear around Do all the things you never want to do in a normal playthrough that would make you feel like a horrible monster! There's no better time!

The fact that Joja run is much more comfortable that regular run is pretty accurate to real life. Working under a corporate entity is much easier than having to manage your own business. But it’s literally the very thing that’s slowly killing you and the environment

21:57 I saw someone on reddit say they got to year 3 and just realised you can upgrade your bag, they were playing with only 12 slots 😅😅 I’d go insane t

The phrase “Morris’s special chowder” is a phrase I never wanted to hear in a Stardew Valley video 💀

I love how she was "not trying to achieve too much" and plays 100x better and makes way more money and progress faster than I ever could hahaha.... so effortlessly.. love it.

If anyone is considering a Joja run, do install the “Joja Immersion” mod. Villagers have comments after each of the community upgrades you pay for.

When I saw the Morris cutscene where he brings in the coupons I was so annoyed that the game doesn't ACTUALLY give the player a 50% off coupon from the event . . . that I actually walked over to Joja Mart, bought only half the quantity of what I'd been planning on picking up, and used SMAPI commands to spawn in the other half. XD

That Morris marrying mod was really well made. I like that they really gave dept to his character

The Morris backstory in this mod is actually heartwrenching. Justice for Morris tbh. Only thing every villager in The Valley has in common is the fact that they probably deserve better.

I did a Joja run not that long ago and honestly...i found it quite nice. With the community center i always worry about missing or forgetting seasonal things, therefore the Joja route is a bit more comfortable.

I’m pretty sure with the marry Morris mod you can upgrade the community center instead of Joja and have new cutscenes with Morris!!

My Joja route my character was named Evil of Hell Farm. Since the only thing cheaper at Joja is sunflower seeds, I decided to marry Haley. This playthrough made Haley my favorite romanceable character. Also, Evil had wild luck. She found two dinosaur eggs before Spring 20 of year one. She found a prismatic shard also in spring year one. Due to that, I bought the desert first and got my galaxy sword, destroyed the mines, and then got my greenhouse for starfruit and fruit trees, and have slowly been converting the greenhouse to ancient fruit. Evil got access to the sewers super early compared to all my other playthroughs too, like I met Krobus before the winter event. It's still one of my favorite files, but that's because Evil grew on me as one of my favorite characters. Her counterpart, Good of Heaven Farm is still working on his marriage candidate of Shane. Good is a himbo who thinks he can fix Shane.

The way I keep my pan on me is I have my character wear it as a hat 😂 it’s not cute but it keeps it in my inventory with out actually taking up a spot

You didn't quit in the opening, you got promoted to company mandated wife for Morris
