i rly hate the current marketing for “cozy relaxing farming game” releases bc like. ok so obv bokumono/story of seasons was the start of this popularized trend (inspired sdv which is popular worldwide). and the thing abt bokumono is that, no one i know that played those games, myself included, played those as “relaxing farming game.” there was no such thing as being normal playing that game either u dropped the game out of boredom or u got sucked into the rly wild grinding of it. the first ds game had a mine with 65k floors, hidden marriage candidates that had favored items costing 100k A Piece and/or had marriage reqs like “sell every item in the game” “kill 1000 animals” “save every harvest sprite”(this req is also wild bc some sprites had reqs like “catch every fish”) “throw trash in the valley 10000 times.” subsequent games didnt have grinds quite to that level, but it was still incredibly easy to get sucked into trying to max out quality and/or production of every crop/animal product in the game (which woupd take like, 5+ yrs ingame since some crops and animals had tough prereqs just to unlock) and in general complete Everything bc for ppl who played the first ds game itd be like, hey, this isnt as tough, and theres Fun New aspects too, and i get to scratch that completionist itch so yeah sure ill fill out my farming log and i may as well fully upgrade everything and get every animal too + every maker and product and max out the quality while im at it.

the point being, that in every game i actually played, i got suckered in to making it a well oiled System, a maximized productivity for time spent activity, filling out logs and raising friendships and winning every competition and expanding my farm (and sometimes the town/islands/whatever) to the Maximum. these fucking games taught single-digits-age-child-me how to be a single mindedly unhealthy progamer. “relaxing and cozy” my ass that shit was STRESSFUL id have DREAMS about being in the mines battling shadow selves or scouring the town for some random drop fucking rare items or fishing for a legendary fish that just wont fucking bite. like it was definitely fun/engaging (to an unhealthy degree probably) and i do look back on those games fondly w friends w similar experiences but im so serious when i say this was baby’s first progamer disease (gamerrage). “relaxing and cozy” fuck you those shitass types of games could never measure up to it. if the farming game doesnt give me (100% optional) challenges that make me want to cave my skull in with a brick by choice then i DONT WANT IT!!!!
