  • I feel like Paleo Pines is a decent mix of Animal Crossing and Stardew, with just a tiny bit of ARK thrown in (Dino taming). The art style is honestly so freaking adorable and I can’t get enough of the dino buddies and all their little noises. I think the dev team might all be women, but I’m not 100% on that.

    There’s a demo on steam that lets you play through the first three weeks, and you can save and continue, and your progress will transfer to the full game if you decide to get it.



  • Probably the best cozy game that I’ve played in recent times has been Thank Goodness You’re Here. It’s an incredibly quirky and zany romp through a northern British town full of lively characters and great visuals. The soundtrack is honestly probably one of the best OSTs around in recent years, too. Your only controls are movement, jumping, and slapping things to interact with them.

    The entire game can be finished in about 3-ish hours depending on how often you stop to just interact with the world. I honestly can’t recommend the game enough, and I’m not even English.



  • A little unrelated, but is anyone else tired of the stupid “three episodes to really get the story going”?

    Like I feel like all the shows Disney has been among the last few years have all been that way, almost to a T. I didn’t watch one of their shows (except maybe Loki) that didn’t take at least three episodes to even get the plot rolling to begin with.

    Imo there’s no reason for this. Anime gets away with doing a bunch of crazy shit up front and then using the rest of the time to build the world and explain what’s going on. I want an action-packed pilot that tells me just enough about the characters to get me hooked, then you can take the second or third episodes to start fleshing out your world.
