  • 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.



  • My town has one. And I honestly wish it didn’t. On one hand I can see why it’s nice to have something like that: quick communication in case an emergency happens, you can tell people directly about events and such that might be happening around the area, you can get to know some of your neighbors if you so choose.

    I don’t like it because the one for my town is just your basic chatroom, except everyone knows everyone else lives within 10 miles or so of each other. It feels gross to me, and I’m not entirely sure why. It’s populated by adults anywhere from their 20s to their 50s and 60s, as well as teenagers between the ages of 13-19. It just gives me the ick when I see someone in their 40s being very friendly to a teen in a chatroom.
