  You know what gives me stress? Websites that reinvent scrolling.

    I spent a couple of minutes on that website, but I still don’t understand what it wanted me to do

    Oh shit. I probably would have thought that site didn’t work and I would have given up immediately if I hadn’t read that comment.

    I think I both love and hate that.

    That page was made for Firefox’s Reader Mode. Sheash.

    Just as a point of interest, it doesn’t work properly in the Android version of Firefox. Use Chrome.

      Also a bit buggy in Firefox desktop on Linux.

      I switched to Reader Mode. So annoying.

  I recently bought Dredge because I thought it was a cozy fishing game with some relaxed adventure bits. Oh was I silly.

  Personally, I’ve been enjoying cozy games like Dorfromantik, Rail Route, or even Transport Fever 2 (I just play with unlimited money and build great transit networks that I wish existed in my home country.)

  That was a shitty website. I don’t even remember why I clicked the link. The page jump around while you scroll down. I thought I was at the bottom PF the page at least 3 time.

  Cozy games stress me out and give me anxiety.

    Screw anyone who says Stardew Valley is a cozy game. If I don’t water my plants and they die! If I stay up too late I’ll lose money! I can’t get the fish I need unless I fish at 6pm in the mountain lake on a rainy Tuesday in winter! Abigail has once again dominated me at the egg hunt! Ahhhhh!

      And the days go by so fucking fast, I swear rainbow six siege is less stressful.

      I say this with all the kindness in my heart. If stardew valley estresses you out, then the problem is not the videogame. Your perfectionism and minmaxing POV might be what’s causing the anxiety and you would feel anxious and estressed in most other activities as well.

  Animal crossing during COVID was a huge relief.
