How Much Depth Does Stability Need? · New Player · Slowrun · Cozy & Surviving · Stardew Valley

Welcome to our first stream of 2026!

Today we'll be continuing with our first playthrough of Stardew Valley , this is Episode 3. It'll be a bit of a slower and quieter stream probably, as I am struggling a bit mentally today. But we have plenty of tasks and goals to accomplish today, let's see how many we can check of!

A quick head's up; about half way into the stream (2 hours in), we will be taking a short 5-10 minute break so I can feed the cats. Just so you know.

Today's goals
Upgrade our house
Upgrade the rest of our tools
Build the silo
Reach level 40 in the mines
Set up mayonnaise machines and get chickens
Get Leah and Penny to 2 hearts

Today's vibes
Tired, struggling, but ready to get some farming time in.

Today's topics
The 9 hour New Years stream (and my recovery proccess)
Rewatching Stargate Atlantis and why I love the Stargate universe
Packing away the Christmas decorations
Medication, and why I struggle after running out

So if you want to just hang out, chill and not have to perform, this is gonna be the place to be! And as always, in this stream we don't pressure you into chatting or interacting if that's not something you're up for. Lurking is more than welcome, you choosing to spend your valuable time with me already means the world to me 🤍

🧑 Hi! I'm Bryan
I'm a web-developer turned content creator, chasing a dream of mine. I aim to make content that is a bit slower, thinks a bit deeper and that is real to who I am. In a sea of chaos, fake personas and over the top energy, I aim to slow down, reflect and be human, flaws and all.

My content revolves mostly around worldbuilding, lore and stories, and breaking these down, analyzing them and appreciating them or learning from them.

💵 Tip-jar
The biggest support you can give me is by showing up repeatedly and engaging with my content. Knowing that people care enough to spend their valuable time with me already means the world to me. 💜

However, if you do want to give back, I have set up a couple of completely optional ways you can help me out:
— 🎁 Throne (https://throne.com/bwbsoldya) → if you want to treat the cats, or help me upgrade my content directly.
– ☕ Ko-fi (https://ko-fi.com/bwbsoldya) → if you want to help me pay the bills, so that I may continue the work we're doing here.

Every bit goes straight back into improving my content, keeping the lights on, and of course spoiling Echo & Tango.

If you do choose to support me like this, please take my heartfelt gratitude for your support. It helps me keep this space human, and I promise you that I will use the support to continue building awesome content for you all.
