Not odd at all! Before discovering games like Stardew and Cozy Grove (which I'm now obsessed with), my go-to relaxing game was AC Black Flag, because pirates xD

Ah, yes! I love Sims 4, could get lost in it for days, despite being absolutely dreadful at constructing stuff ๐Ÿ˜…

Unpacking sounds fun! I'll have to check it out. I've played a mobile game that's similar in theory, but it was pretty shit.

Oh god, Valheim. I love the "chores" aspect, too, but I usually play it with my SO and he's all about chasing down giants and trolls and getting us killed. Now I'm lowkey terrified to play it alone ๐Ÿ˜…

Thank you so much! ๐Ÿ˜ญ I made a couple of mini prototypes for friends and other gifts, but I haven't properly started selling stuff. I'd love to if people are interested though.

Thank you! It is! I stumbled upon it at the local fabric store. They only have like five yarn options and I nabbed every skein of it I could find ๐Ÿ˜…

My first bag! ๐Ÿ„ (lemmy.world)
 

Hello!

I recently got back into crochet after a decade-long hiatus, and this is my first bag! I mostly winged it, so it's not perfect, but I love it!

What's your latest favorite project?

What are your go-to cozy games? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm new to the cozy gaming world, but it was love at first sight. Stardew was my first truly Cozy Game, but I recently started Cozy Grove (loving it!) and am about to try Sun Haven. I tried one called The Archipelago a couple months ago, but it got a bit repetitive and boring after a while. Breadsticks was cute, but I'm terrible at platformers.

So, I was wondering, what are some of your favorites?

I recently got back into crochet and a cute new bag was high on my projects list. So, here it is, my little mushroom bag ๐Ÿ„ I mostly just winged it, so it may not be perfect, but I absolutely love it!

What have you been working on lately?

What's the last book that unexpectedly blew your mind and why? (lemmy.world)
 

Hello, folks! This is my first post here (and in the great, wide, still-confusing world of Lemmy). So stoked to find a new book community!

To answer the question, mine is "The Future of Nostalgia" by Svetlana Boym. I stumbled upon this book when I read a quote from it in a different book and I immediately went to track down a copy. A truly happy accident.

The most fascinating thing about this book was how universal it felt. Here was someone writing about post-Soviet Russia in the nineties, yet it felt strangely familiar. The commercialization of nostalgia, the unchecked rewriting of history, and the rose-tinted delusion of "The Golden Age"; it felt like she was talking about my own country. I'm a Lebanese expat, so nostalgia is a big part of my life and my relationship with my country (which is very much a love/hate relationshit), and this book completely redefined my understanding of nostalgia, nationality and collective identity, heritage, and even food. It helped me understand the survivor's guilt, the PTSD, the resentment, and the stubborn fondness. It's been so long since a book scooped out my soul and shook off the dust like this.

So, yeah. What's the last book that made you go, "Holy shit, I think that just rewired my brain"?
