Hello there. It’s Friday afternoon, everybody’s being very loud about Dragon’s Dogma 2 and I’m about to let you know about one thing that’s kinda disgusting. It’s about Stardew Valley. Individuals are racing to drink mayonnaise in it as quick as they’ll.
Yeah, that is what life is now, apparently.
First, right here’s some background data on how we bought right here. In 2016, Stardew Valley grew to become a factor. In March 2024, we discovered that ingesting mayonnaise in Stardew Valley can be turning into a factor. Then, with the discharge of Stardew Valley’s 1.6 replace, it grew to become a factor. Then, numerous folks flocked to the sport, in all probability to drink mayonnaise. Now, persons are seeing simply how briskly they’ll attain the mayonnaise and drink it. Quickly, we’ll all be useless.
Significantly although, white liquid guzzle speedruns at the moment are a factor (thanks, GamesRadar), and so they’re fairly enjoyable, assuming you will get previous the entire guzzling a white liquid half with out sniggering, which I can’t. If you happen to can, there’s a sub 20 minute mayo-based Stardew speedrun so that you can watch beneath, by a streamer referred to as LarkyLovesYou_, which, I imply, I didn’t ask whether or not they did, however okay.
As you may anticipate, the strats concerned within the mayo speedruns are fairly easy. You get up, and also you go about gathering the substances it is advisable make a mayonnaise machine and, er, some mayonnaise utilizing it, by way of some farming and mining, you already know, typical Stardew stuff. This one, which is LarkyLovesYou_’s fourth try on the run and clocks in at 17 minutes and 31 seconds, is by far some of the stress-free speedruns I’ve ever watched.
Primarily as a result of these Baldur’s Gate 3 ones at the moment are so quick they’re a bit like watching somebody who’s simply come out of a nightclub bathroom with a nosebleed and many power attempt to remedy a Rubik’s dice.
Anyway, this runner’s not the one one at present attempting this sort of factor. Apparently there’s a Stardew Valley Speedruns Discord server, and somebody in it with the deal with of seapickle5, which is a Membership Penguin identify – I’m sorry – at present holds the world file at 17 minutes and 6 seconds.
The group are at present attempting to persuade the oldsters at Speedrun.com so as to add Mayo% to Stardew’s listing of established meme speedrun classes, which incorporates Posh% and Underwearsoup%. The primary one’s about proving that you simply’re an aesthetic gentleman by doing posh stuff very quick, and I assume the latter’s about making soup with pants in, so yeah, these mayo folks aren’t as unusual as I first thought.
