Your cozy corner for slow-paced gaming, creativity, and connection.

Welcome to Cozy Gaming Porch — I’m Michelle, a lifelong gamer at heart who believes the best gaming moments are the slow ones. Here, it’s not about speed runs or high scores — it’s about curling up with your favorite game, a warm drink, and letting the world slow down for a while.

I first played video games when my boys were small, but life got busy and gaming took a backseat. Then, in July of last year, my son surprised me with Animal Crossing: New Horizons and his Nintendo Switch — and I was hooked all over again.

For a full year, I enjoyed the changing seasons, decorating my island, and visiting with my in-game neighbors. Recently, I decided I might be ready to branch out into new adventures — so now you’ll also find me exploring Stardew Valley and Hello Kitty Island Adventure, with plenty more cozy titles to come.

What Readers/Viewers Will Find Here:
On Cozy Gaming Porch, you’ll find:

  • Gameplay videos from my favorite cozy titles
  • Beginner tips for building your dream island, farm, or cozy space
  • Seasonal gaming ideas to make your play sessions feel extra special
  • Printable trackers and planners for your gaming adventures (because we love organization too!)

Why I Created This Space:
I wanted a spot where cozy gamers could feel at home, share ideas, and be inspired to enjoy games at their own pace. This is our little porch on the internet — a place to chat, laugh, and play without pressure.
