COZY GAMES ARE MEANT TO BE A LITTLE DARK

I keep getting videos on YouTube that talk about how cozy games are secretly not cozy because they have dark elements to them like the war in Stardew.

Apparently this is somehow meant to ruin the coziness? I hate to break it to you but THATS THE POINT.

These games do not exist in a cozy vacuum where nothing bad happens ever. That would frankly be a terrible game and an even worse story. Cozy games are not cozy in SPITE of their dark elements they are cozy BECAUSE of them.

In Stardew yes there's a war, and people have dysfunctional relationships and that's the point! you're in a shitty town living on a shitty farm but you're there to help. you make friendships, and you fix your farm, and you leave the town a little better than when you found it.

In Palia you're living under an oppressive government and everyone has lots of problems. Some people are just struggling to be a single parent, others are on the run from a cartel. It's not light and cheery! but you get to help these people as you work to find your place in the world. I could go on for hours about other games but I think these examples are enough to drive home what I'm going to say next. COZY GAMES ARE ABOUT COMMUNITY, LOVE, AND FRIENDSHIP.

You don't expect your real life friends and communities to be conflict free. Bonds are built on the back of hardship. Lifting each other up. Loving each other and being kind when things are hard.

villagers in both games give me advice on how to do what I need to so I can fix up my property and start life in their town, They send me gifts they think will help with my projects. And in turn I give them a relationship they need. I'm an understanding friend for Linus, or an open ear for Najuma.

WE SUPPORT EACHOTHER IN HARD TIMES.

My Favorite Stardew Valley Mods 🌱

✦ Diverse Stardew Valley ✦

Add better ethnic, racial, cultural, gender, ability, and body type diversity to Stardew Valley.

✦ To-Dew ✦

Adds a to-do list so you never forget your tasks.

✦ Gender Neutrality Mod ✦

Makes Stardew non-binary friendly with more gender inclusive language. Players can choose their preferred pronouns & how they want to be referred to using the Mod Config Menu Mod.

✦ Pregnancy Role ✦

Players can choose how they want to have children regardless of gender.

✦ NPC Map Locations ✦

Adds NPC sprites to your mini map so you can easily find everyone.

✦ Hobbit Holes ✦

Turns cabins (including multiplayer cabins) in hobbit holes.

✦ Automate ✦

Place a chest next to a machine & the machine will automatically pull raw items from the chest & push processed items into it.

✦ Family Planning ✦

Allows you to customize the maximum number of children you can have and their genders. You can also adopt children with a roommate (ie Krobus).

✦ Carry Chest ✦

Allows players to carry a chest even when it's full of items.

I also have a list of all the mods I currently use (always updated) right.... here!

I hope you enjoyed it! Also curious, what are your favorite Stardew Valley Mods? 🎮

I returned the other monitor cause I felt like I wanted things to be more minimal, but also upgraded the gaming pc 🤍 I added pokemon to the bottom of my desk too!

🌏 Palia — Games I've been playing

Cozy & casual MMO set in a growing world full of lore

For PC & Nintendo Switch; always free

Playful character design, dialogue, & relationships (including romance)

Improve skills by fishing, foraging, mining, logging trees, catching bugs, hunting, farming, and building/decorating your home

No combat, few time restraints

Only sharing because I genuinely love it and I want others to possibly enjoy it too! The game just launched for Switch and there are some fun things happening:

Use my friend sign-up link* to join and get a free fruit basket item

Link your Palia account to your Switch game** to get a cute-ass mushroom outfit and some other stuff

Watch Twitch streams with drops enabled for some exclusive items

Feel free to ask me any questions if you're curious. Their discord is really helpful as well. Have fun, my friends (And feel free to add me as your friend! My username is m0ckest) 🥰

* I get literally nothing from this but some cute in-game items lol ** Note for Switch players: When you open the game for the first time on your Switch, make sure you link your Palia account when prompted. You can not link again if you skip the first time.

The developers have said that this will continue to be a free-to-play game. The only real-money purchases are for cutesy outfits. Nothing purchased with real-money will ever give gameplay advantages.

While Singularity 6 is a newer company formed by previous employees from large MMOs, it is still a big company; I want to be transparent that this isn't a tiny indie game.

That said, the developers are very transparent about game progress and have proven to be extremely receptive to player input. The game is in beta testing. Each update brings new content as well as fixes, and I've enjoyed every one!
