A Stardew Valley player has recently received a weird message from Emily , who called them a “decent friend” even though they were already dating and had 10 hearts in their relationship. Stardew Valley is a popular farming simulator that offers a mostly solid experience, but it’s not uncommon for gamers to uncover strange glitches like this one.

Released by Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone in 2016, Stardew Valley became an unexpectedly huge hit, especially due to its cozy atmosphere and lovely setting. The game currently offers 12 romance options for players, including Emily, a villager who works in the Stardrop Saloon. To get into a relationship with Emily in Stardew Valley, players need to give her appropriate gifts, such as Wool, Jades, Emeralds, and Survival Burgers.

Dedicated Stardew Valley Mom Has Over 1,300 Hours in the Game

A hardcore gamer mom who plays Stardew Valley spends over 1300 hours in it and has taken detailed notes of every aspect of the game.

Now, a gamer called Terifiy shared something very weird that happened to them while playing Stardew Valley recently. The player was talking to Emily in her house when they received the message “We’ve become decent friends, haven’t we?” as well as the “Best Friends” achievement for befriending Emily. This would not be out of the ordinary, except for the fact that the player was actually in a relationship with Emily, having a total of 10 hearts so far. This prompted Terifiy to be upset about being called a “decent friend” by their girlfriend after all this time, but the event likely happened due to a bug. As pointed out by another gamer in the comments, it’s likely that the bug was caused due to a programming oversight, especially considering that Emily and Shawn were not marriage options in Stardew Valley when the game was released, and they only became available as suitors in version 1.1.

Stardew Valley Player's Weird Interaction With Emily

Despite the recent launch of Stardew Valley’s 1.6 update, the game still has a few bugs to be ironed out. The patch added new festivals, events, and quality-of-life features, for example, and fixed tons of bugs, but also created some new ones.

One example of a bug created by the recent update is a Stardew Valley player who passed out and gained 100 million Gold. In this bizarre story, the gamer was in co-op multiplayer with a friend when their partner’s character passed out. Soon after that happened, the bug occurred, making the players gain the money. Normally, players actually lose some money when passing out, as well as randomized items, so it’s likely that the bug was related to some kind of problem with these parameters.
