Decline What do you do about all gaming when.....?

[mondblut]

The idea of starting a new game repels me almost physically. I spent over a year pointlessly playing CDDA (all with the same character, no restarts) just because I couldn't force myself to try anything else. Before that - months of likewise pointless Kenshi and CK2 (at least I had willpower to start a new game with a mod, because my previous game has turned into slideshow a couple of centuries in). The last "new" game I started from scratch was Kingmaker.

But at least I don't have a buying addiction

Now I'm curious what music Foxie-loxie swipes and listens to.

Nightcore probably.

It was gone for several years for me. Better part of the 2010s. Gaming has come back around for me, even if it's not quite what it was as an adolescent. There is good stuff out there. The hard part is deciding what to spend time on because they're are so many games. Unironically, this place is what helped gaming make a comeback for me. Discussions around games I enjoy has lead me to other games I enjoy. I've gotten a feel for the community and whose tastes I respect. On a time basis, I have to be far more selective than I was 10 years ago, but I'm having more fun and success than then with what I do play.

"vast disposable income" $20 for a fuck

I said, "good session." You get trash for 20 dollars.

for 20 bucks you just get to fuck. I would not pay more for a prostitute,

Enjoy your AIDS.

 

[Iucounu]

Chop wood, carry water.

I do that already.

Are you resting and eating properly as well? When I get the balances wrong I gradually turn into a zombie, with less interest in basically everything. Fortunately it can be changed back again within a few weeks, once I change habits.

As a side note: Fluffy my black fluffy cat ally (instead of my cat she considered me her person since we both live outside) has not returned home as her usual routine for well over a week. The heat has been extreme for animals and this has me beyond worried to utter despair that she has succumbed being old. I'm distraught, I wept and accept she's gone. I still have her only daughter who sticks around but I can't even pet her being feral. She'll rub against my leg fast for food or play with a glow in the dark ping pong ball but Fluffy sat in my lap, slept on my lap or chest, nuzzled my beard, and rolled and played was really happy.



She's GONE!







So.... there's the hot sun.... bitch weed and its allies..... I'll take my sorrow to the grave killing these fucking parasites....

It is all I have left.

 

[what am i doing]

I still get that dopamine hit when the Mavor shell hits and the enemy's ACU explodes.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

I also play various genres to keep things fresh, although If I would spend playing vidya 8h daily I would probably go Kurt Cobain mode.

Or combine the two.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Hey! She came back. Skinny as hell and haggard but she came back. Fuck this heat for outdoor feral cats; it sucks. Bebe' Katz is happy to but Mama slapped her in the face and wanted to be left alone to cool and eat and drink.

Well, that's a good sign.

Now back to your regularly scheduled gaming blues.





Edit..... for some reason she doesn't want to be touched. Dunno what is going on but she ate and drank.

In an era oversaturated with video games, I'm more than content to stick to titles I know are good and that are fun to replay, with the odd indie release here and there depending. Most newer titles are just worse versions of what came out 10-20 years ago anyway, so what's the point?.

I don't remember playing Factorio, Rimworld or Starfield 20 years ago.

increased CPU power allowed for some great games to be made. lore and storyfags wouldn't understand and are happy with their Reading Playing Games that can display like 5 units on screen tops

 

[MasterofThunder]

Factorio: gay
Rimworld: gay
Soyfield: extremely gay

Yeah. Too bad nobody does.

you mentioned 3 games above that wouldn't be possible to run on old hardware. CDDA, Kenshi and CK2, pretty sure they all need a good CPU for their simulation

CK2 is 12 years old, and it didn't change all that much from the original CK which is 20 years old. Cataclysm has been around for 11 years, used to run on a calculator, but its incompetent developers are relentlessly killing its performance by bloating it with all kinds of retarded crap.

Kenshi wouldn't run on old hardware, but this is only one outlier good game in a sea of gay vomit you like to slurp.

 

[Morgoth]

Doomscrolling and the Attention Economy leads to the freefall of IQs (in every way you wanna measure it), so that might have something to do with shit games.

Satisfactory is great, in my opinion.

there are more good games but how would you know if you're autistic about playing only one game for years

Glad to hear your cat is OK, man.

Try something new for a change, e.g. try some classic ZX Spectrum games if you grew up with the C64, etc. I find reading about the history of some home computer I never had as a kid and learn about the history of its classic gaming catalogue quite fascinating.

 

[mondblut]

You play starfield. The furballs my cat vomits out are more of an authority on good games than you can ever hope to be.

 

[Vic]

It's funny when people run out of arguments and have to resort to B-Bethestard! and Starfield!

this tag is like a retard magnet

 

[Gostak]

Sticking to the ones I know I like helps.
I mean most here will have a long history of gaming and tried lots, we came around, so to say.
You're bound to have acquired a distinguished taste and some favs.

Many games also have/ had a social component.
That might be a missing ingredient here as well.

And sure, child-time-like and first-time wonders are pretty much depleted, hardly a buff in that sort of way should be hoped for any longer, eh?
