I've been playing "Stardew Valley" a lot over the past year. The width of the world to explore, the depth of things to do, and the attention to small details all come together to make this a truly wonderful experience. I recently started a new save file, and, emboldened by the knowledge that it was doable, tried to complete the Community Center in my first year. However, here at the end of Summer, I did some number-crunching and came to the conclusion that this would not be feasibly achievable.
While things on my farm are coming along well, I only just got a barn built, and given the money and resources needed to upgrade the barn twice more (to house a pig needed to acquire truffles), it's not going to happen. The monetary and resource costs are too high for me to afford, and I don't have enough time left. Fall is right around the corner, the last season that a pig will venture outside to search for truffles. Further complicating the matter is the fact that pigs require seven days to mature, which only eats into the too-little time left.
Yes, it is possible that the Traveling Merchant might have a truffle for sale, I am reluctant to wager all my hopes on a random chance.
Sometimes you are better off just walking away. You may be tempted to hold on, whether it be for sentimental reasons, or the rationalization that you've already invested too much into this pursuit to stop now. Sometimes it is better to just walk away, don't even bother picking up the pieces. It may hurt some now, but it will save you so much more headache and heartbreak down the road.
