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 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!

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.

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