nothing beats journey in that regard, whenever life seems overwhelming I go back to that game as therapy

Animal crossing during COVID was a huge relief.
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.
What browser were you using? I had the same issue.
Firefox on android.
I'm using Fennec which is pretty much the same thing so that tracks.
I recently bought Dredge because I thought it was a cozy fishing game with some relaxed adventure bits. Oh was I silly.
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.

It's the most frustrating thing that I encountered today
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!
And the days go by so fucking fast, I swear rainbow six siege is less stressful.
Thank you guys. I feel validated!!
Helldivers 2 is my goto cozy game <3
Damn, I didn't know Reuters produced this kind of graphical article, it is really cool.
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.
It's so cute uggghhhhh
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.)
