'curly isnt an inherently evil person but in fact a very human and relatable character who was genuinely upset with wht jimmy did but didnt want to take drastic measures in tht very moment to avoid causing more harm to anyone bcuz he knew jimmy was unpredictable and prone to becoming aggressive and he tried to handle the situation carefully (altho failed to do so in the end)'

putting aside how most of the time was spent arguing if it's even possible to define what is a “cozy game”, a point was brought up that different kinds of games are considered cozy in developing countries versus in developed countries, and also how western-centric most people's take on the topic is (for example Diablo 2 is a very popular cozy game in China)

it reminded me of how different our perception of "relaxing game" is between me and a friend from a similar background and with very similar thrill-seeker tendencies caused by similar growing-up-in-constant-fear-of-death. She had a job that satisfied her thrill-seeking, a demanding management position at a corporate where she also took additional tasks upon herself to make it harder - she gets a kick out of managing intense chaos. And her favourite relaxing game was a time management cooking game.

I tried to play it with her and i got extremely stressed, she found an endless play mode that ignored the main time limit and it still was too demanding for me. So despite us being so similar and having similar brains, we find completely different things to be relaxing. (I'm not exactly sure why she liked it, maybe it's how the tasks are fulfilling her management needs while the stakes don't exist because it's not real).
