Omg thank you 😭 I’m so new to Bluesky and it’s so nice to be here!! 🩵🩵

I’m also blocked!

It truly is.

Sweet!

This is a game changer - thank you for sharing! Going to make sure I have some at all times!

Awesome!! Have a brilliant time!!

Oh I’ve never seen this one, going to check it out! Looks so cozy!

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.

It’s on the wish list! Thanks so much for sharing, that might be a Christmas break game 😄

I live in the Scottish Borders, this game looks amazing!

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! 🧡

Yummmm! I bet it tasted great the next day 😋

It’s Patch Magazine delivery day! @patchmagazine.bsky.social

I received both the digital and print versions today 💜

Some spooky articles on Ritual of Raven, Gloomy Eyes, and R.E.P.O - to name only a few!!

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

Ahh me too! I absolutely loved retreating back to my burrow to sit by the fire and knit!

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! 🐭

LOVED the demo of this sweet game! So happy it has a release date ❄️

That sounds amazing! I hope there was some red wine left over for a glass to go with it 🍷

Ohhh lovely, and I’m excited to see what it will change to 🎃 You have a great day too! 🧡

Hello Ness hope you have a lovely day! I love your pfp glad it’s sticking around 🍂

HAPPY OCTOBER!! 🍂🎃

What better way to start this month than by sitting by the fire in Beacon Pines?!

So cozy!

Just one game bought in the Steam sale so far: Astrologaster! It’s 70% off and looks like so much fun (plus it’s set in Shakespeare’s London, and as a history nerd this is perfect for me 😅).

So, what have you been snapping up?
