That be very true, mario & the rest of the gang (sounds like a scooby episode) are quite violent.

New William 'LordOvLoot' Pate @williampate.bsky.social · 17h

You'd be surprised what can be violent, ive seen so many cute-ish games that quite violent.

New William 'LordOvLoot' Pate @williampate.bsky.social · 17h

I do think cozy is flung around to be broad for some games, but the action should feel fun and not so violent to stay within the cozy realm.

Female lead characters in video games stay winning idgaf who's mad.

I've been replaying loads of Borderlands lately 😁

My first Tony Hawk was also 4, but my favorite is Project 8, played the hell out of P8 so damn much.

Requote with a game that you believe not many people would have played.

Ah this and the sequel, man why did i ever play these.

New William 'LordOvLoot' Pate @williampate.bsky.social · 18h

I played a little of faery, didn't really get into it.

New William 'LordOvLoot' Pate @williampate.bsky.social · 19h

Nah i don't think so, it also depends on how fast-paced were talking. If its amps up a bit, then i believe it's fine - but if it amps up to say like lots of action, it may start to not be so cozy.

Take Life-Sim/Farm-Sim's for example, they have lite to more action-packed combat on a small scale.

They def need to develop relaxation chairs for vehicular guests as well.

New William 'LordOvLoot' Pate @williampate.bsky.social · 1d

This is one of those things that's all over the board, for me it's chill - slow-paced vibes. Nothing too serious, doesn't have to be strictly cute, but needs to be down to earth. Anything that is meant to be go-go-go, like a timer-based situation is out of the cozy vibes.

So since Itch limits the max file size to 1GB, i'll have to redirect the user to my KO-FI shop page to grab the #indiegame since it's ~4GB, don't worry - it's free.

Heyo #indiegame aficionados, I've been hard at work over the past ~3 wks and have built my project to sit back & watch public domain movies.

You can rent them from a VHS store, it's a prototype currently and will be up on itch sooner or later.

There are 14 different full-length PD movies to watch.

Thanks Kez, been kinda better. I may have been wrong about it breaking, i guess it felt that way. But i'll try and see if i can get to a dentist sooner or later.

Oof, broke a bad tooth i had in the back of my mouth last night. I had a rough time, managed to find a smidge of ora-gel (the cheap kind) and finally managed to calm the pain so I could manage to get back to sleep.

Today it's feeling stable, so fingers crossed it stays that way.
