Hinoki.film’s Favorite Games
Stef’s gaming preferences lean toward more relaxed and story-driven games. Recently, she’s been enjoying Sea of Stars, an RPG that captivated her with its character-driven narrative and engaging gameplay. Stef loves how cozy games and RPGs allow her to unwind while immersing herself in stories.
The Perfect Cozy Setup
For Stef, both the aesthetics and functionality of her gaming setup are essential, and at the heart of it is her Pixio PX27U Wave monitor in white. Whether she’s gaming or editing videos, the PX27U Wave delivers exceptional quality. Stef particularly appreciates the crisp visuals and true-to-life colors, which are crucial for her content creation, especially when color-grading her videos.
She also loves the color-matching monitor arm, which allows her to easily adjust her screen when switching between sitting and standing. This flexibility is key for her ergonomic desk setup, and the ease of use makes her work and gaming sessions much more comfortable.
Content Creation Journey
Stef’s journey into content creation began during the pandemic. After getting a gaming console and becoming hooked on Animal Crossing, she wanted to find a community to share her new hobby with. Over time, she gradually built her desk setup and began sharing it with her followers, eventually growing her presence within the cozy gaming and desk setup community.
Now, Stef’s content goes beyond just gaming. She brings a thoughtful, mindful approach to desk setups, showcasing how creating a calming, cozy space can enhance both productivity and relaxation.
What’s Next?
As she looks ahead, Stef is excited about continuing to expand her reach within the cozy gaming and desk setup community. She’s particularly looking forward to creating more long-form content for YouTube. Stef is passionate about working with more brands to bring attention to this growing niche of cozy gaming and helping more people discover the more relaxed side of gaming.
Goals for the Next Year
Stef’s main goal for the coming year is to keep growing her network and building the cozy gaming community. She’s determined to help more people see that this side of gaming exists and to continue inspiring others looking to create their own cozy setups.
Monitor Feedback and Wishlist
When it comes to feedback on her Pixio monitor, Stef is happy with the current range of colorways. Her only wish for the future is an ultrawide monitor, which would add even more versatility to her setup.
