Critter Café is about creating a cosy vibe, and there are plenty of cosmetics to help you do just that in customising your avatar, habitat, and café. But what about your own environment? Cosy room equals cosy mind, as they (don't but should) say, so it's time to show us where the cosy happens!
Show us your real-life gaming setup in either images or TikToks and other video clips, and remember: make it cosy! We'll allow a loose interpretation of 'cosy' but we reserve the right to reject setups that score a clear zero on our highly scientific cosy meter. There's a podium of three top prizes for the very cosiest setups, so if you want to spend a little extra time cosying yours up, there's a doubly good reason to do so. You'll need to submit through connected social media and we'd love it if you'd include #justabout, #crittercafe, and #cosy in your post.
Note that this is a time-limited reward with a podium finish, which will only close and be judged after the given deadline.
Remaining$120 / 270
Task: Show us your IRL gaming setup and make sure it's at least a bit cosy
Format: Original images and video clips only, with optional text if you need to explain the source of cosiness (though ideally it'd be obvious)

As a mom of two, finding time to relax and play video games can be a challenge. So, I created a cozy corner in my kitchen - a little escape just for me. I also found a long pillow (on temi for just $15) that’s a game-changer for my Nintendo setup, shaping it in endless ways for ultimate comfort!

My humble work/study/play/critter care environment. I think it's cozy because it's my place of comfort, it's where I arrive at the end of the day and have my moment of rest/fun.

This is my cosy place. A laptop, the book I left there to start reading, a photo of love and a cup of coffee. It's small, but it's where I belong.

I am having SUCH A BLAST looking at everyone's little set-up, thank you so much for sharing! We all have such different ways of gaming, it's so nice to see.
Here's my little tour! Make sure to watch with the sound on, there's commentary~
I got really excited to show everything, this was really fun to do!
There's actually so much I forgot to cover in the video :D
Most importantly, the armchair and sofa are really light and easy to move, which means that if I'm more in the mood for handheld gaming (or, frankly, a much needed screen-free evening... or heavean forbids we have FRIENDS coming over?!) then in literally just five minutes the living room can look like this:
Also, the walls are a delicate green that looks really good and is very relaxing-- you need to picture it, but the outside has a very dark green forest and the wooden brown of the furniture, the green accent color, all go very well with the outside nature view. I'm not a minimalist by any means (I love my little things, as can be seen lol and if I could cover these walls with art I would!) but I love my restrained palette and that, even though we're living in my late grandparents' house with all of their things that we didn't choose, I was still able to create this green/brown/natural light atmosphere! That makes me feel super cozy & homey.
Oh! We have an A/C unit that's powered by an heat pump (it's that big white rectangle on the wall!) that we can control with a remote, and so it really helps getting the room to the right temperature. We're the sort of people who like to keep the room a little chill in the evening so that we can bundle up under plaids :D
While I love natural light, too much light can definitely be an issue! At night we almost always only use those two lamps. Isn't the little Totoro* lamp so cute?!
(*This was sold as an "orange cat" lamp at my local supermarket. XD Sorry, Ghibli Studio.)
So yeah! That's my little tour! I don't know if I managed to convey it in the video, but for me, cozyness is that homey, "I am safe and comfy at home with my little things" feelings, more than an aesthetic. Yet at the same time, I have carefully chosen (to the best of my means and abilities) and curated what's in my space and the way it's set up. Being able to live here, among things that were so loved by others before me, make me feel very happy too!
