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

      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.

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

    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.)

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

    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.

      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!
