Lore Boys are here with everyone's favorite Harvest Moon clone, Stardew Valley. James has been elbow deep in it for weeks now, only venturing out to drag himself to the dull light of his office, and Ethan got too drunk on power to remember it was his turn to host, we figured a little dip in the stardew valley to talk about Nutbustin' for Stardrops was appropriate.
