    I had no idea too but then came across a random Vox video about high pressure where they mentioned it.

    I then did a little research and wrote the article below:

      Stardew lied a lot lol. Starfruit for example, only looks like a star in cross section, but i guess the actual starfruit is hard to represent in pixel.

        true. I think the star representation is fine because eating it the slices are basically stars so its valid artistic license.

        as for blobfish, u can argue its dead when u catch it but aquarium and ponds exist so that’s kinda sus

        I always assumed the Stardew starfruit was a special fruit that just happens to share a name with our starfruit.

            Is kerning the spacing between letters?

              It’s the visual spacing between letters, which usually involves some letters that have curves or corners to actually not strictly follow the spacing. For example the legs of the letter A might stick out a tiny bit in certain fonts. This gives text a more visually balanced kerning.
