Hi. I'm now Giles. (I was Butterbur). I've been around here since 31 Dec 2016, at 17:31 (UTC). If you read stuff on this page, may it prove useful, entertaining, or enjoyable for you. Might I suggest the notes on naming your horse as the likeliest to succeed? But my primary purpose is for my own use and record, so may you not be disappointed.

29 March 2021: I spent about three months away from Stardew Valley entirely, due to pressing personal affairs, and upon returning, found a new wiki in place, and my old account in need of re-activating. That's ok. I just decided a fresh start might be called for, as I have yet to run v1.5. My old username does not suit me any more, and I found a better one. "Giles" relates to a minor, relatively unknown short story of J.R.R. Tolkien that lies outside the Middle Earth conception, yet is a fanciful tale of olden times in something of the same vein. It is called "Farmer Giles of Ham", and it just seemed fitting for the fresh approach I intend to take with Stardew.

The Tolkien story was first published in Britain in 1949, the U.S. in 1969, which should put it in the public domain now. It may be difficult to find today if you want to read it, but I wish you luck with that, for it is very entertaining if you like its sort of thing.

*The time was not one of hurry or bustle. But bustle has very little to do with business. [People] did their work without it; and they got through a deal both of work and of talk. There was plenty to talk about, for memorable events occurred very frequently. But at the moment, nothing memorable had, in fact, happened in Ham for quite a long time. Which suited Farmer Giles down to the ground: he was a slow sort of fellow, rather set in his ways, and taken up with his own affairs. He had his hands full (he said) keeping the wolf from the door: that is, keeping himself as fat and comfortable as his father before him. The dog was busy helping him. Neither of them gave much thought to the Wide World outside their fields, the village, and the nearest market.

Tolkien's olden times may have been something more like 1500 years ago, but it suits me to treat Stardew as somewhat ancient too, emphasizing Tolkien's looking-backward qualities, with just a very few later upgrades. However you approach the game, may it give you as much pleasure. [[User:Giles|Giles]] ([[User talk:Giles|talk]]) 03:20, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
