Stardew Valleyhas many animals but a snake isn’t one of them, which is why one player was very confused when they saw what looked like a small snake hanging out by the pigs. The animals that appear in the cozy farming sim are mostly farm animals like cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, and other animals you might find on a farm. It turns out that the snake was nothing more than an optical illusion.
Reddit userAluciel286thought they were seeing things when theynoticed an adorable little yellow snake peeking out at them from the grass by the pig enclosure. They say, “I swore there was a little snake staring at me in the grass, but it’s just the shape of the grass and dirt behind it.” The Redditor helpfully follows up by explaining how to spot the cute little guy, around the middle of the image and “just below the fence.” The snake image is easy to spot, as it looks like a yellow snake body and head with beady black eyes looking straight ahead.
A Millennial “Badger” Reference Sparks Hilarious Stardew Valley Snake Discussion
The Discussion Hilariously Devolves Into Memes
FellowStardew Valleyfansimmediately fell in love with the illusion. In a comment thread that starts with a cropped and zoomed-in screenshot of the “snake” (by a now-deleted Reddit user), other comments zoom in closer and closer to the image. Eventually, the pictures simply show a solid square of yellow, and emerge on the other side in a comment bylasagnatheoryas “The source / The origin of life / Existence itself / Where all humanity’s answer can be found.”
What Kind Of Fish Are Best For The Fish Pond In Stardew Valley?
It’s difficult to decide which of Stardew Valley’s 70 fish species would be best in a fish pond, but there are some clear best options.
The rest of the comments devolve into memes referencing many differentfandoms, shows, and even a nostalgic brainrot video from the 2000s. The comments start quoting from an animation from 2003 that made absolutely no sense but is still fondly remembered by millennials today.
The lyrics, if they can be called that, simply say, “badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom ahh snake it’s a snake.” Some other comments take turns quoting the “I’m a little guy” skit fromPortlandia, the famous lament about snakes fromIndiana Jones makes an appearance, and, of course,Metal Gear Solidfans chime in with the classic “SNAAAAAKE!”
Our Take: Stardew Valley Never Ceases To Make Us Giggle
We Need ConcernedApe To Add Cute Snakes In The Next Update
The “snake” in the grass is so cute that I wish I could keep him as a pet in-game. Userrovingturtlesagrees, writing, “Well now I know that Stardew Valley needs adorable snakes!” Many other fans feel the same, as the remark is one of the top-rated comments in the discussion.
The best part is that it’s quite possible that ConcernedApe, the game’s creator, might see this Reddit discussion and put in an Easter egg about it. ConcernedApe is known for integrating silly moments into the game for fans, like explaining a glitch of chickens disappearing by issuing awarning that there’s a coyote on the loose, or implementing apair of haunted shortsinto the title after patching out a beloved glitch. There’s never a dull moment in theStardew Valley, as the community keeps discovering adorable and silly moments like these.
