If you&#8217;re a millennial or younger (because millennials are young, right?), it&#8217;s most likely that you struggle to make a &#8220;boomer&#8221; understand the meaning of practically any meme or mainstream joke you see on <strong>Reddit, Tumblr or Twitter<\/strong>. But the best part is that <strong>sometimes, these jokes become reality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week, <strong>Hard Drive<\/strong>, a well-known satirical gaming news website (like <strong>El Mundo Today<\/strong>, you know) <a href=\"https:\/\/hard-drive.net\/hd\/video-games\/stardew-valleys-new-hardcore-mode-deletes-your-farm-if-you-open-the-wiki\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">published an article<\/a> joking about the inclusion of a <strong>hardcore mod<\/strong> in <strong>Stardew Valley<\/strong>, the popular farming video game by <strong>Eric &#8220;ConcernedApe&#8221; Barone<\/strong>. According to the &#8220;news&#8221;, this mod would automatically delete the user&#8217;s saved game if it detected that the player had opened <a href=\"https:\/\/stardewvalleywiki.com\/Stardew_Valley_Wiki\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">the Stardew Valley wiki<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Stardew Valley\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/bf64074c-96d7-11e6-9626-00163ec9f5fa\/3688139090\/stardew-valley-icon.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Stardew Valley<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/stardew-valley.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/stardew-valley.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The joke (apologies for explaining it, but that&#8217;s how it goes) lies in the fact that checking the wiki is very common among players of <strong>a game with a huge amount of content<\/strong> (it\u2019s time to stop, <strong>ConcernedApe<\/strong>), so if there was a mod that deleted your game if you consulted it, it would be, at the very least, &#8220;annoying&#8221;. Luckily, that kind of mod doesn&#8217;t exist, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hard Drive article quickly went viral among the gaming community, reaching the eyes of <strong>Sylvie Nightshade<\/strong>, a modder &#8220;who spends too much time on the Internet&#8221; (according to herself), and who <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nightshademagia\/status\/1804330160293872003\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">ended up creating the mod<\/a> imagined by the satirical media. Yes, <strong>her mod &#8220;will delete your save file if you dare to look at the wiki in a browser tab&#8221;<\/strong>. Yay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/stardew-valley-screenshot.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-334863\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Say goodbye to your chickens if you dare to read the Stardew Valley wiki<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/lostkagamine\/SdvHardcoreMode\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">terrifying Nightshade mod<\/a> &#8220;scans the title of every open window on your computer and deletes everything in your game if any window contains &#8216;Stardew Valley Wiki&#8217; in its title&#8221;. But, far from just deleting your entire game (it&#8217;s nothing, no big deal), <strong>the mod &#8220;also closes the browser window where the wiki is located&#8221;<\/strong>. If you didn&#8217;t want soup, now you have two cups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowing the &#8220;operation&#8221; of the Internet, I&#8217;m sure that this new mod for Stardew Valley will become very, very popular among the most hardcore fans of the game. However, if you&#8217;re going to try it, <strong>make sure to backup your saved games<\/strong>. Losing a game with a farm that generates 200,000 gold coins per day is not pleasant at all.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Stardew Valley\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/bf64074c-96d7-11e6-9626-00163ec9f5fa\/3688139090\/stardew-valley-icon.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Stardew Valley<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/stardew-valley.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/stardew-valley.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Internet is a magical place.
