“…One further aspect in which Ni no Kuni ostensibly establishes itself as a cozy heterotopia is in its presentation of food (Virgen Castro et al, 2018;Waszkiewicz, 2022). Short et al (2018) as well as Waszkiewicz and Bakun (2020) stress the significance of food for coziness.…”

This article applies the concept of heterotopia as developed by Michel Foucault to cozy aesthetics in JRPGs. After introducing the concept of heterotopia and its six key principles, the term JRPG is briefly reflected upon. We then analyze key aspects of the games Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch and Final Fantasy VII Remake regarding the significance of heterotopias for their sense of coziness. We conclude that Foucault’s concept of heterotopia helps in understanding the way in which coziness, on the one hand, offers a respite from the crises of life while, on the other hand, enabling an engagement with said crises in a safe environment.

“…Each time a character enters or leaves the coffee shop, the player hears the ring of a bell, which delimits this place and separates it from the outside world. In their analysis of the first game of the series, Waszkiewicz (2022) notes that Coffee Talk differs from both traditional coffee shops, which are open during the day, and from bars and pubs, which sell alcoholic beverages (p. 93); Coffee Talk is thus positioned as an "other space," to use Foucault's (1967Foucault's ( /2008 term. I would add that bars and pubs are generally noisy places where it can be difficult to have a conversation.…”

This article contributes to the growing body of research on space, place, and immersion in video games and offers an analysis of placeness in Coffee Talk (Toge Productions, 2020) and Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly (Toge Productions, 2023). Building on the work of Michel Foucault (1967/2008), this article begins by analyzing the coffee shop of this series as a heterotopia that allows the game characters and the player to find a form of comfort. Then, it examines the series in light of theories of immersion and pays particular attention to the place where the author played the two games – his bed – and also describes it as a heterotopia. This paper shows the usefulness of Foucault’s concept of heterotopia to understand placeness and coziness in video games, and the relevance of taking into account the physical space of play when we conduct a textual analysis.

“…116 Vitamin C has also been reported 40 to be lost when vegetables are washed after cutting and when cut vegetables are exposed to the air for a long time before cooking. For example, it has been reported that, 117 carrots should remain bright orange, although their color can fade slightly if overcooked and cause a loss of nutrients. Globally, standards for cooking carrots with different cooking methods range from 5 to 15 minutes, 118 and in Ethiopia, the total experience of cooking vegetables is still unknown (Table 2).…”

Africans are leaving a period of increased unpredictability of new and emerging crises, from the pandemic to war and climate catastrophes. Only if we invest in boosting our capacity to respond to various crises will Africans be able to survive and thrive. Ethiopia is pursuing diversification of its food and nutrition security. However, preparation and consumption problems contribute to a health risk linked to malnutrition. Thus, the purpose of this review is to scrutinize preparation methods, evaluate nutrient losses, and outline future agendas. Vegetable preparation is neglected in Ethiopia, and the methods, cooking standards, and nutrient loss are all not identified. Likewise, the health risks and fate of malnutrition in the country are increasing extraordinarily. Ethiopian traditions of vegetable cooking are not supported by technology, food makers are not equipped with training, and the government is not concerned about the problems. Vitamins and minerals are entirely lost from vegetables during the cooking process, leading to the development of health risks such as stunting, wasting, and underweight problems. The government does not monitor, check, and evaluate cooked vegetables. Hence, Ethiopia should set cooking standards, and of all methods scrutinized, 2-5 minutes (leafy), 5-10 minutes (roots and tubers), and 3-8 minutes (stem) are recommended by many scholars as the standard for cooking vegetables.
