I'd get rid of the mechanic of getting unnecessary doubles. Specifically with randomized drops/rewards. I play Animal Crossing as a part of my daily ritual sometimes. I'd check for new recipes, get duplicates, and stop playing for the day. It's just not fun to reduce a game to work like that.

I don't think that there shouldn't be any chance or grind involved, but I think an invisible coding quirk that makes a new or desired item inevitably drop would go to reduce some stress.

I think sometimes grinds like that can really mess up people who can just dive into games or have that compulsive desire to get 100% completion.

    Shinespark is the thing where you crouch to store the Speed Booster dash and then launch yourself like a rocket.

    Like I do get what you're talking about, but I'm also cackling at the image of blasting headfirst through the roof in Stardew Valley or whatever
