Few and far between*

I headcanon Jodi as a lesbian with comphet because she just *looks* like someone who immediately settled down after high school because that’s what her parents thought was “right”. But those are just silly little thoughts, though! :3

As far as I’m aware, this religion largely resembles Christianity. Of course, there are a few different aspects that this video covers. This resemblance can help us theorize more about this religion.

my theory is that krobus is a former believer in the possible other theology the dark mobs believe in, but converted to yoba-ism? hence his love for yoba, but compassion for the dark mobs

*I personally think Free 2 Play games are the future. if you're game is great, you'll make 10x the money you spent on micro transactions alone, no problem 👌 if its bad, you'll get nothing and back stroke into bankruptcy and foreclosure* 🌈

Not appreciating the Narrator slander personally Either way, great video

With yoba being an earth god l im thinking yoba is a godess and not a god. I mean the sign kinda looks like the female reproductive system which would make sense for the sign of the vessel name.

Still have my account from 2007 that I log into once a year so it doesn’t get deleted. So many good memories.

I made a few what I consider decent names. Rhuematic the Blumaroo poor fella, Topstock is a Koi rn, and Sunmed the Jelly Chomby. Premium hooked me up for the last one.

1:47 dana scully neopet spotted ...........................

I have mine and a lot of my friends' wisdom teeth. Just ask the people you love for their teeth, its fine, you can do that.

Personally I find the hate towards Lewis to be a bit overblown but I whole heartedly agree with your finishing statement. He's not a great guy but he is just kinda OK. I don't care about Lewis and I think that's kinda the point. The thing with Marnie sucks tho, get your shit together.

Glad I happened upon this video. I have only seen one other video explicitly talking about the "love" part of the game. So seeing another creator tackling the topic instead of another explainer or lore dive essay is very refreshing. I really resonate with how you explain the love part of the story as proximity and choice. It isnt really any more complicated than that.

I always wanted to play ToonTown as a kid but wasn’t allowed 😅

From what I experience, the story is trying to tell you what love is, the pain, the joy, the resentment, the sadness, the betrayal and the trust between two different people who need each other, at the end of the game I felt everything at the same time, even if I joined her, kill her, start from the beginning or run away with her, I love the princess as a being not from her beauty or her personality but from the things that happened and went through

19:46 another thing, george is homophobic until you reach 10 hearts with him and you marry alex

Romance alex as a guy and you will understand how deep in the closet this man is

I find the thing where Jas puts the grandpa doll under the bed creepy bc thats like a scene in a svu episode showing the old man is the culprit.

Your voice is so soothing❤ I was getting so tired and overstimulated from people on my screen screaming at me and your channel are such a nice respite from the chaos. +1 subscribers.

Hey, the Cold is straight up spitting facts, Paranoid carries the entire team and Smitten is just Smitten 🥰

New JubJub is a travesty.

*GASP* Not ALL of the voices are annoying you know! Hero isn’t! And… uh… honestly I can see a case for any of the others being annoying… huh.

Alex Apologist here: OK I think with Alex it really depends if you play as a male farmer or a female farmer and I always play as a male farmer so I cant really speak from the females farmer POV but as a male farmer his story arc is so goood like its starts as a stereotypical misogynistic jock but then he starts to open up about his family (4 heart event) and his alcoholic father and how he feels worthless because of him AND HIS MOTHER FUCKING DIES and then his 8 heart event just comes in for the final kill and absolutely destroys you and then his 10 hear event he confesses that he has been denying his feelings feelings at first with the "Im a boy, I cant like another boy" and I know im a year late to the party but I think what sways me the most is that half the fandom thinks that the most cannon thing aside Haley x Female Farmer... is Alex x Male Farmer

At least Morris will hire townspeople to work at joja, plus he's the only way Jodi can afford to feed her family and I believe Penny and Pam too

im a little late to this video, but i adore how you present yourself and how you talk about things, a lot of yoba stuff in sv is unknown to me so this video is nice :) though i would've assumed you would've mentiond the linus is yoba theory since its pretty popular

GEORGES CRISPY ASS

I interpreted the symbol as a crucifix stand in but replaced with a shrug. Which is the perfect visual summary of religions no confirmed answers to me.

Wonderful video! I really loved your conclusion/final observation of what makes the writing in this game so great! :)

Yoba is the earth, everything. That's why it's THAT symbol. That's why farming is sacred in Stardew. The earth is magical. The dirt. The earth (Yoba) grew the very first plant, the first life, thats the origin. Didn’t create light, grew from light. The plant the first interruption of light. The first shadow. Not good or bad, just is. When you are buried, you are returned to the earth (Yoba). The void is... a void. Nothing. The opposite of the earth. Everything. Yoba.

Love the video, hate the Harvey slander <3

Your voice sounds just like @cruelworldhappymind

Am I only one who thinks he raided grandpas house right before we got there? Like last chance to take all valuables out before its ours.

I feel like a baby bird being fed worms by it’s loving mother whenever Salem drops analysis videos. Keep them coming please 😋🙏

I cried for weeks when I saw pet pet park was no longer

OMGGG YOU FLAMED THE FIRST ONE REAL GOOD 😹😹🤭

Trading is so painful. Why did neopets have to make it like this? If they want my money just let me buy the ones I want all of the time 😅

this is a very beautiful essay and i love it but please stop being so funny especially with the narrator slander i dont know how to feel (/pos)

AAAAAAAAAA GOD HELP MEEE PLEASE DONT

aaaa this was such a good video salem!!! i need to play so bad… 🌀black tabby you want to put the game on the switch, you want to put the game on the switch black tabby🌀

Seems like Yoba is personification of what Farmer should be somebody who plants and grows ie creates that's i guess why you can see it as player "farmer" and Lewis who is not can't.

The joy I felt searching for a new analysis video and finding one on SLAY THE PRINCESSS!!! Love this video

15:45

Lol the name of your farm 😂

Neopets is just like real life - it's more fun when you're rich

This is the game I play whenever I have a writer's block. Guess what? The text I write after playing is usually the most delicious piece of literature I'm capable of cooking. The writing in this game is superb, the voice acting is gorgeous, so is the narrative, and art, and every little aspect of it. I did pirate it in 2023. Best decision. It led to my best purchase of 2024. Black Tabby, take my money, take it all!😂

I like the game to but those same arm endings where she gently explains things got repetitive that is one nagging flaw in an otherwise clever game..

god i absolutely adore your analysis vids they really reach my heart and i love your video pace so much!! cant wait to see more from you!!

Did not expect to be tearing up and getting goosebumps first thing in the morning 😪 Thank you for your beautiful explanation and analysis of this game.

i wish so badly that someone else could have heard the noise i made at "i hope they live forever in poverty". i was briefly posessed by a dying balloon. 😂

As an ex Neopian, it would be hilarious if Neopets allows swear words and adult language considering that majority, if not all, of Neopets players are grown adults now
