Meanwhile me
Yes, I wfh, how can you tell
Over 10,000 hours in Counterstrike. My steam review: Not Recommended lol
Well, I usually keep 3 ongoing games actively playing, right now:
Pokémon Omega Ruby
Metroid Zero Mission (almost get all the items at this point)
TLOZ Breath of The Wild
I would lie if I didn’t say my main focus has been Metroid as of lately.
3? You’ve been playing THREE games? How? Where do you find the time!?
Where do you find the time!?
Not having kids sure helps a ton with that.
Racing game, FPS, arcade style fighting game. I trade off which of the three I’m playin.
This also explains how I’m only ok at all three!
In my defense, after 35+ years of gaming, I can say, on my children’s lives, Rimworld is just that fucking good. Truly.
Mod Support = unlimited replayability. Currently running a zombie world solo vampire jedi colony
You had me at zombie. Can I be lame for a second, tho? I didn’t start modding until hour 2k. I’ve only left the planet twice. I fucking love this game and could sit and regale friends for hours with past colony drama. I love it when my 11 and 8 year olds ask me how things are going. They especially love naming robots. Many a boopboop has died gloriously in defense of the motherland.
I started playing at very early alpha and started modding right away. The really cool thing about Ludeon is that virtually every expansive mod (not additional items but gameplay/QoL ect) has been made relatively native in compatibility with each new DLC: space colony, multiple bases, races and limb frameworks, multiplayer, events and quests, special abilities, pawn interactions and relationships. You can see each DLC basically providing a native framework for these mods to play nice and plug into the game without creating all kinds of bugs and hacks to implement.
Vanila with DLCs now has pretty much any feature you want, and mods just ad more content and granularity. I would suggest playing a space colony scenario if you’d like to try sometime new. It feels different enough in the survival aspect and will introduce a bunch of new stuff to explore.
The problem for me is that the gaming library has cost thousands of dollars and same with the very nice PC.
I play an open source browser game (dcss) that I’ve been playing for 20 years almost exclusively.
Stardew Valley, Stellaris, and Civ 6 all have over 2000 hours for me.
This is why I don’t bother buying games, much to the bewilderment of my partner who participates in this ‘buy 100, play 5’ thing.
Accept that you’re basic and save that cash for something else
Like a new gaming PC!
