This year I’ve been followed by a series of unfortunate events, the latest being a torn shoulder, which meant a lot of rest and a lot of uncomfortable sitting. As someone who is extremely fidgety, I needed a lot of…
Stardew Valley is a cozy life sim released way back in 2016 by Concerned Ape. It took the world by a storm then, and it’s still going strong now (and growing), even after almost ten years. What’s even more impressive…
