Brick building enthusiast and Stardew Valley fan Steven Jensen has been working on his Pelican Valley build for nearly two years. Over on the Stardew Valley forums, Jensen has been going into painstaking detail since September 2023, where he’s talked about what sets he’s used for each section.

If you had asked me three years ago what my favourite Turf War stage is, the 45 minutes I had spent with Splatoon 2 might have been able to cough up “the boat one” at a push, but that’s only if I was really firing on all cylinders.

A duel of dual spirits.

Hello folks, we’re back once again for another edition of Box Art Brawl!

Before we get started, let’s take a look back at how things played out last week.
