Stardew Valley has been a godsend for my mental health. Check out this #MetaFilter post I made if you want to explore that relationship. Some good articles and discussion happening. Cheers.
@sonicbooming I'm adding this to my read list. I don't know what I would do without that game. My husband says I'm addicted but it's been such a good coping tool for me.
@alice Many of those articles are opinion/blog posts where people just share their feelings about struggling with mental health and how Stardew has helped them cope, it's a solid read. :)
@sonicbooming There was one I read about how it clicks really well with people with Autism too. I wonder if I have the link somewhere.
@alice Yeah, I've mellowed as I approach 40 and I just find that this is the type of game I need to unwind from a stressful day. I enjoy games like Destiny 2, don't get me wrong, but I can only take so much mindless shooting at demons. It's nice to just farm and relax. So soothing.
