My Little Farmies

Remember that old Facebook farm game my dear friends? FarmVille? The one that made us rush home from school back in times of 2009? I’ve discovered an absolute gold for me and I can’t stop playing — I basically found my own Steam version of FarmVille, and it’s dangerously addictive, like “this could last me until retirement” addictive. BUT! WHY? The game is all about endless building, expanding, farming, earning, connecting, and selling. An achievement for a million customers? A million people walking down tiny paths, checking out everything you’ve built? Yeah, lately one monitor resolution won’t even come close. In this click-heavy simplicity, there’s one thing that’s hard to find these days — nostalgia, and that retro way of shaping players through visuals. And not just there! Beautifully put together old-school animations, images, characters — even the sounds and quirky little noises. Every building has its own actions, and when you click on it, it triggers a distinct humming, melodic singing, or whistling cue, so recognizable that you’d know exactly which one it is even with your eyes closed. It is quite hard to say how many hours I’m going to stay here. My Little Farmies is absolutely worth investing your time in, you let the game run and keep things going with more and more clicking. In return, you get a ton of tasks, you build up your own business, and the game calmly, almost effortlessly, brings you a sense of peace while making you want to become the most skilled farmer out there. Players interactions/friendships of real champs all around the world are also a great example of that old, genuine sense of community — where people, out of pure kindness, even buy shared gifts for displays as decorations or to help with each other’s land. And that makes me happy. Humanity. And that’s exactly why the world can still somehow keep going. Let’s be kind to each other, just like this divine little game is kind and innocent to us. I honestly have nothing to complain about. I became a farmer in no time! 🌽10/10🐮
