Me having played Harvest Moon since the 00s, cocking my head at this comment
The "grind" is part of the appeal imo, I am relaxed and in my lane and moisturised and vibing, watering my plants and feeding the animals then fucking off to the mines for hours. Equally the efficiency of a tight schedule as the joy of adhering to it every day.
Idk this is probably autism and adhd again
I just need more stimulation then when I was younger
I like the idea in theory but in practice my mind gets bored.
Legitimately the reason I hardly play one of my favorite games is because you need to listen to the audio and I can't have music on.
Understandable
one of the truly fascinating things about Stardew becoming popular is that Harvest Moon used to be incredibly niche for many reasons, such as the ones you state. If you need more brain stimulation it might not be for you, although Stardew is great to put on music or podcasts to!
