    How did he keep track of her heart progression? That’s the most impressive part to me. You’d have to be hovering round with the ring in your pocket for weeks

      He made the mod, so maybe a system that notifies him ? Or holds off the event until he allows it to happen ?

        What this guy said.

        But also, “you’d have to be hovering around for weeks”, uh, the couple is about to be engaged I’m sure they spend a fair bit of time together and unless you’re lucky enough to live in a huge house, you might be hanging out in the same room most of the day. So…

          I mean shit, even cut that out, think of a healthy couple, she would be actively communicating her progress with his mod AT THE VERY LEAST!

          I swear to fucking God you can tell how broken and lonely people are by how they react to shit like this.

            I’m married and happy and we’ve played Stardew Valley together. Sometimes I leave the house and it’s possible my wife plays stardew while I’m not right next to her. Doesn’t mean I’m broken and lonely. Jesus fucking Christ.

              Dude, totally fair, that was needlessly dickish on my part. I’m saying I think it’s more than likely she would be communicating her progress through the mod he made for her so he would know when to focus on the ring shit. She more than likely would have told him she was near to finishing.

              This is a very similar to my dynamic, I’ve experienced entire TV series through the communicating of my partner because the stuff they are excited about comes up in conversation.

              I’m sure plenty of couples don’t necessarily communicate like that despite not being broken and/or lonely.

            She could have reached the 10 hearts when he’s at work or something.

      It’s entirely possible she updated him on the progress. My wife gives me play by plays on the games she’s playing
