Hi, I’m Ellie!

By day I’m a data analyst at a UK charity; by night I run Pixels and Chai, a cozy space for games & desk setups as a woman over 40.

I share cozy game recs, rainy-day desk photos & thoughts on gaming as a 40 year old gamer who still loves to play 🎮

Lovely to meet you! 🧡

It’s spooky season so I’ve changed my fishing bobber in Stardew, and hung out in the cemetery with Abigail for a while. With some clay.

Just about to settle down with a cuppa and have a read ☕️

Winter Burrow will be out on November 12th!

The demo of this game was so beautiful - and incredibly cozy when in your little burrow.

I thought about it for days afterwards so I’m really happy it will be out soon! 🐭
