Stardew Valley Seagull Mod Confuses Players with Humorous Insults
A humorous mod in Stardew Valley features a seagull named Docky making jokes about players’ mothers, leaving many fans confused about its origin, as it comes from a unrelated mod.
Stardew Valley has its share of mods, but one mysterious joke-telling seagull has players a bit confused. The Stardew Valley community embraces many mods, and the game's developer, ConcernedApe, even encourages them. When Update 1.6 was released, he worked diligently to ensure existing mods remained functional post-launch. The modding community keeps fans engaged long after finishing the main story, consistently breathing new life into a nine-year-old game.
One mod, however, has completely baffled Reddit user The_God_Of_Darkness_, who posted a screenshot of dialogue featuring a seagull making a joke at the expense of the player's mother. The Redditor asked the community, "What mod is this even from? I just walked to the beach and saw a creepy looking seagull and it's doing yo mama jokes." The confusion arises from the original poster apparently having over 300 mods installed and running, perplexing many fans.
The Insulting Seagull Was Added To Stardew Valley In An Unrelated Mod
There is no clear explanation for what Docky the mean seagull is doing in this heavily modded version of Stardew Valley. To make matters more confusing, the seagull is reportedly listed as "single" but currently does not accept gifts. The original poster wonders why anyone would "date a seagull that starts your friendship by insulting your mother." The mention of seagull dating reminds some fans of the absurd but excellent pigeon-dating sim, Hatoful Boyfriend. As Reddit user AurelianoTampa comments, "Hatoful Boyfriend is leaking!"
After some sleuthing, fellow fans discovered that the mod bringing Docky the seagull to this player's Stardew Valley is the Hakan NPC mod from Nexus Mods, which adds a wolfman NPC to the game. The mod's creator, hakydaky, included a note mentioning that Docky will be explained and expanded into a full character in the next update, but "for now, he will just hurl insults at you."
Fans Share Their Dream Stardew Valley Romance And Roommate Options
Stardew Valley's creator, ConcernedApe, is known for including jokes in his game, but a dateable seagull may be stretching it even for him. Nevertheless, players express a wish for more options for dateable characters or even platonic roommate options. Some fans highlight Krobus as a preferred choice for their playthroughs, a monster who can become the farmer's roommate if players opt not to pursue any of the game’s eight bachelors and bachelorettes. Others, like Reddit user mavis_24, wish they could have the Dwarf as a housemate.
Fortunately for fans, many mods exist that introduce NPCs, romance options, and additional friendly characters to interact with. For those players who enjoy a good insult, there are apparently mods for that too. With regular updates from ConcernedApe and an active modding community, Stardew Valley continues to surprise its players.
