So it turns out Stardew Valley is literally the perfect game for coping with anxiety and depression.
@Ratttz Yeah, it's really, really wholesome and good. Has a risk of being a huge timesink though.
@emanate Astroneer didn't give me the challenge I wanted of a slow five-layers-deep industry bootstrapping process, e.g. dwarf fortress.
@starkatt Well yeah, it's not quite there yet. I did get sucked in for a few weeks but am gonna wait a bit for future content updates.
@emanate Oh, huh, here I am playing SV and going "okay and how the heck am I going to be able to eventually make cheese".
@starkatt I do love slowly building tech trees though. Getting that fix right now with a lot of Stellaris.
@starkatt That's a hell of an endorsement! o.=.o
@starkatt It didn't grab me quite as much, but I have slow mining/resource gathering games like Astroneer or Starbound for that. :-)
