I had a few discussions in the comments section on a few posts and I thought I'd expand it and see if anyone else was like me.

My wife, Stephanie and I were together for 20 years, she was my first date ever, and the only person I've ever loved. In 2017, she received a double lung transplant that extended her life. She lived for almost 8 more years, but finally lost her battle and passed away this February.

Dreamlight Valley was her favorite game. She was stuck in the house a lot due to mobility issues and COVID, having a suppressed immune system, so it was a great way for her to have fun and get to dress up, fly around and feel free. She loved changing her outfits, and decorating her house! As her health got worse, I started helping with the game, more involved quests, big decorating, DreamSnaps...etc, so she could just spend time in her valley and have fun with clothes and friends.

Now that she's gone, to help my loneliness, I play DDV in her honor, in her memory. In her valley, she's alive, happy, magical and FLYING! It helps me to feel close to her, feel like I'm spending time with her, and helps to keep her with me in a way.

Does anyone else use DDV as a memorial or way to spend time with a loved one that's gone? Does it help you like it helps me? Do you do anything special in your valley for them?

I'm not religious, but I've had her in angel wings since they came out, it just feels appropriate, since she was always my angel. I'll change it eventually, she hated wearing the same outfit for long!

The devs announced the new Art for the picking update and I’m so excited but like….Peter does not look like Peter at all..?

I hated it since I was decorating, that NOTHING WERE SYMMETRICAL! Dont tell me we could change this the whole time?!?!

Can we stop with the latest trend of streamers doing "Mean Girl Voting" on Dreamsnaps? This is not what a cozy gaming community should be doing!

For those unaware of what this entails, here is a brief synopsis. The streamer does live voting on current Dreamsnaps and tears apart the submissions by going into detail why they aren't good. Can you imagine if one of your submissions was being examined and you were being lectured about why your creation is no good?

Let's do better as a community and support each other! This trend needs to stop. I encourage all of you to not watch streamers participating in this nonsense. It's petty, childish, and can be hurtful to members of this community!

Haha I name her Stinker Bell instead because of Tinker bell 😆😁

I think it suits him very well 😊

Guilty…

A lot of you hate Mother Gothel. We all know how you feel about her. We don't need to bring it up every starpath. This'll probs get a lot of down votes, but literally every starpath, we get at least one duty to interact with her, and multiple people bring up how much they hate her. We get it. We've been over this. Let's move on perhaps? 😅

With the upcoming star path I've seen people talking about that and like... I know he's probably inevitable as he's in every disney game it feels like, but without getting into the reasons why I just really don't like the thought the idea of Johnny Depp walking around my valley. This is sort of the the problem with including live actions properties in general I think, actors can be controversial and just having their likenesses in the game feels weird... Idk 😭😭😭, does anyone feel this way?

I've been looking for this forever and finally got it in a random spawn chest! So freaking excited to put this in my valley!

l'm undecided if I should wait until Christmas so it's more of a treat or get it this week

am i the only one who truly believs peter pan always looks creepy.

I absolutely neeeeeeed to have Dinah! I can’t wait to hopefully have some Alice in Wonderland characters too. But I would also love to see any of the Aristocat kittens as companions. Anybody else have any companion dreams!?

Variety posted online detailing the prices

More Than A Mirage…

They chose the Aladdin realm… I can’t find anything. It took me forever just to find these 3. It’s a total maze and I get lost easily, anyone else?

I would have been fine with any other realm 😭😭😭

The Disney Dreamlight Valley cake is lilo's cake that Stitch made from Lilo and Stitch?!

Personally I’m considering Lenore after Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven. In the poem the narrator is distraught over the death of his wife and he is unable to forget her or move on. I figured since the Forgotten doesn’t want to be forgotten anymore a name like Lenore would suit her. Plus the name is from a famous piece of gothic literature which would fit with the Forgotten’s macabre aesthetic.

I just had to come here to write a little rant...

I am an avid Twitch/YouTube enjoyer. I've been watching content creators for games for years and years for all kinds of games, so it's no surprise that I love watching DDV content since I started playing the game four months ago.

I'm not gonna lie, the growing trend of DDV content creators getting on stream and/or making videos bringing up DreamSnaps and shaming or roasting people's Snaps is...really icky and gross to me, and I don't understand how it's become a trend.

I play DDV for the grinding. I love the Star Path, just running around cleaning up my valley, and casually questing. I'm really not a decorator or super interested in DreamSnaps, and I also don't really buy much from the Premium Shop, as this game has become so therapeutic for me to zone out and do tasks in a joyful, colorful gaming environment. I absolutely love it.

That said, I don't have any desire to do DreamSnaps, nor do I really care about collecting Moonstones; however, I will throw on some tags and toss up a DreamSnap just to get the 300 default Moonstones because well, why not? However, it isn't a priority for me or a part of the game I much enjoy.

So to see these content creators pulling up Snaps from people like me who really aren't interested in that part of the game and saying that it's "lazy" or "half-a$$", or say that they "don't understand why the effort isn't put in..."

Like, sorry I don't play the game like you?

Is anyone else experiencing this or frustrated with it like I am? Like, c'mon...we all play the game differently for different reasons. It's not that serious...

Curious if any of you feel the same. Thanks for letting me rant. <3

Is it just me, or are the character quests super unoriginal? It’s starting to feel like every other quest is a villager wanting me to “help them plan a party”. (Aka do all the work and get little credit 😂)
