What you playing unc? I've been getting balls deep in mass effect legacy edition. I didn't realize how short these games were until now. When I was a kid they felt like they were 40 hours plus.

I'm playin Starfield in VR, which turns it from a mid game into an OK one, but now is a lot more immersive and good to look at.

I am so tired of my generation. They are hopeless and so dependent on the system that any attempt to convince them results in hostility. I am not a boomer, but I will gladly partake in this thread, because talking with my gen makes me die a bit inside. I am playing Cyberpunk 2077 and not really enjoying it anymore. The beginning was solid and without glitches, as I moved on however I am constantly bombarbed with these invisible walls and the AI which can see through walls. I switched off RT and feel some improvement. CP2077 still however is not a good game.

>>742263694
I'm finding myself enjoying the shorter more well-paced 15-30 hour RPG these days. When I go back to FF4 or Chrono Trigger, those can be beaten in 20 hours and feel great. All good game, not padded out too long.

I think good pacing is a lot art with the modern demand for "if it's not 40+ hours, it's crap" mentality

Walking over a puddle, making a splash and a guard going "! what was that noise" and thinking how much more advanced that is that most modern "stealth" games that are really just 3d hide and seek games in disguise was both impressive and a bummer.

Also this heatwave is getting to my joints lads :(

Dropped it years ago, picked it up again and got to the swamp area. Really like it but bogged down by punishing inventory management.

I'm in a weird place where I'm playing categorically bad games that I do not contest are bad but am kind of in a "fuck it let's play some slop" mood. So right now it's the winning combination of the harry podder game (that honestly while it's not stellar I like how the combat was implemented, shame you can just spam the special move magic over and over), stellaris and fucking starfield.
I've always had a huge soft spot for space games, this does not make playing starfield any better but I can at least derive small pleasure making my ship while wondering how the fuck they made a resource-collection system worse than fallout 4 after fallout 4 came out and was made by the same company. How the fuck does that even happen.
Anyway I suspect I'll escape this fresh hell and play Kotor II for the 111th time. I'm also playing random shit on my switch but mostly just because I'm very unwell so I have to lie down a lot. Right now its femblem three whores and I'm doing the golden deer piss route.

Playing mostly ps2/ps1 games lately. Death by Degrees and a lot of Devil May Cry. I got a couple handhelds for emulation and it has helped me immensely with that. But I'm getting a little drained and I need to switch it up. I'm eyeing that game Menace. I definitely don't need any new games. I bought twelve games yesterday. But then again... Hooded Horse doesn't really fuck around, Overhype Studios has not fucked around since their inception. It's a perfect storm of non-fuckery.

It's honestly like that except with barrels and rocks you constantly find everywhere to fling at people who can't block it usually and at zero cost. It's not even particularly needed because you could literally take everyone out by just cycling through all your magic anyway but you know what some areas are genuinely pretty and I like rotating one goblin while I fight everyone else in perpetuity.

30s is the oldest age range in which playing video games is still an acceptable thing for you to do.
As soon as you hit 40 you're expected to ditch that shit for good, otherwise you're a failure at life for not having a house and family with kids that you dedicate all your free time to.

I only play (read) Visual novels, but lately after having played 212 of them they're just not doing it for me anymore, it started being like that around the 100 mark. I used to think I'd always enjoy them for my entire life. But like everything else, happiness has an expiry date.

It has fun stealth instead of the tall grass and and one hitting enemies from behind who barely even move bullshit we get nowadays in pretty much all AAA games. The tight stealth and puzzle like nature of it was lost in 3 and never recovered unfortunately and there's no games like it.

Been playing Tomb Raider I-III Remastered. Didn't know about how patch fucked graphics up, so I downgraded and applied Gold mod. Incredible fun, though I constantly fuck up running jump (since you need 2-3 steps before you can execute) and have occasional brainfarts where I forget there's tank controls and play it as if it were modern TR (modern meaning Legend to Underworld, not the horsefucker Laura).

Also in the middle of Deus Ex Human Revolution, fourth playthough. The Missing Link is much worse than I remember.

I did this recently but with all the purse owners (what's 1 and 2, actually I did those) I have genuinely lost steam and the will to live midway through persona 5. Probably a combo of playing them all in sequence plus 5's notoriously atrocious downward slope of plot quality. Never a good sign when I'm literally not reading shit and just trying to blast through just to see the royale with cheese content I haven't before.

i am similar, depending on the game.
I just don't care anymore as much and the less gameplay there is, the less I want to engage with it.

interesting, then I don't know. maybe just oversaturation or it has just run its course (for now).

for me, having physical, sports hobbies always introduced a nice balance into life, the only time I got tired of games for a while was in early 2010s. I was depressed, many games sucked and I wasn't doing sports at the time.

Dark Souls 1 ended that streak because i realised real vidya is still being made

Over the past month I was the guy that's whining how Gothic classic was not serviceable (shitty installer / mod/fix combination) but then I got it to work and I whined again on how janky the whole thing was, that I quit after trying hard to like it.

It was one of the guys in the Old Camp slum that tried to pick a fight on me because I denied Bloodwyn his protection money. It between him suddenly entering combat mode and my character unresponsive because the game doesn't register input when loading saves, and I was standing in the doorway so when the dialogue cutscene ended I put shoved back by the camera into the void of backwalls and couldn't fucking see the guy come swinging at me, and fucking Mud following me and trying to talk to me and you can't just turn around and flee quickly.... I fucking quit and uninstalled the game for the 20th time.

But me being a '90 millenial and liking uncslop and loving Morrowind and Souls and all the muh grit and muh perseverance and muh Sissypuss struggling and conquering your shit type shit... I installed the game and....... it's kinda alright. I just got into Chapter 2. It still took a while though, Chapter 1 is just fucking chores after chores and running back and forth at fucking level ZERO and it's just designed this way.

I learned that in Gothic 1 OG. You start from absolutely nothing. You have no skills, no proficiency in anything, you don't have good enough weapons and have no armor, everything will fucking 1 shot you. You will feel helpless and the game will feel cheap and shallow, pointless, initially. This is more hardcore than fucking Morrowind. It takes a lot of work and progress to get you started with a decent weapon, an actual armor, enough STR to overcome enemy defense rating, and to actually learn the nuances of combat, the timing of your swings, and your block (dodging backward is easier though). I've just started joining an actual camp, and feel like I'm capable now. I just hope the path aheadisn't as much of a choredumping shitshow like the beginning of the game.

34 year old Mexican here

Finished Donkey Kong 64 on Switch 2, I 100% it, it has flaws but it was very enjoyable

Currently enjoying Stellar Blade, Asterigos and Grid Legends on PS5; Gal Gun Returns, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and AQUA JET - Arcade Archives 2 on Switch 2; and also playing Thymesia, Motorslice and Battlefield 3 Campaign on Xbox Series X

Also I bought Devil May Cry V: Devil Hunters edition, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Xillia on Switch 2 recently

I almost never have time, energy and focus at the same time bros, I just manage to shitpost here for 5-10 minutes at a time. I don't think I've player more than 200h total in the past 6 years. Anyway, if I were to play something I think it would be a some big AAA game (most of which I skipped for the past 20 years) or famous non-roguelike (too grindy) indie, something like:

AAA:
Cyberpunk 2027
Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2
Fallout New Vegas
Yakuza 0
Dark Souls 1
Divinity Original Sin 2

Indies:
Dead Cells
Rain World
Outer Wilds
Northern Journey
Disco Elyssium
Cuphead

Picrel is my purchases over the last 6 years. Assuming I haven't played anything here, what 3-5 games would you recommend me to tackle first?

That's the problem with kids today. Even the talented ones don't want to work more than the absolute minimum required to set them up for a NEET lifestyle. Every new manga is short, even the hit ones. And then the mangaka just retires and scrolls tiktok the rest of his life. Can't really blame them but what happened to all the ambitious people who work their balls of their entire life. That's who makes all the real masterpieces

>Fromsoft is proof real magic and real games are still being made
They're making the same game over and over again for almost 20 years now. I like that one game but come on now, that's hardly the answer to industry's problems
>indies
I don't like roguelikes, deckbuilders and fake retro games and that's about 90% of recommended indies right there. Also I don't need any more vanias in my life, there's more than enough already, just shut it down.

RE8 has more action but that's also its weakness in some ways. it's very railroady and after the castle part, which is the most RE part of the game, you just get navigated through different setpieces wirh different gimmicks. a bit like RE4 if it was designed and paced worse.

still a decent and fun game though

NTA but making the "same" game has resulted in 2 amazing games, namely Sekiro and Bloodborne. Those two alone basically rape almost all good games released in the last 15 years.

if you let something being "fake retro" stop you from enjoying a good game, that's just a weird hangup, I feel.
and while there are many vanias now, there are barely any good ones still, which is a shame.

My complaint was more that Ethan's walking/run speed in RE7 was like he had two broken legs and his maximum speed was the speed of smell, and that inaccuracy was baked in to the combat/shooting.

As always I'm tackling the backlog, but I'm doing a poor job of it since I bought more stuff in the sale. A bunch of it was short interactive fiction that I've already burned through, none of it impressed me.
Aside from that I've been trying to do a chapter of Yakuza 0 a day. The plot is decent but it isn't integrated into gameplay very well, though said gameplay is kinda mediocre and seems to rely on a weird web of low quality gameplay events that all support each other

You lived through the jank. Lived with the jank. Molded by it. Product of the environment. Now you're used to it.

Someone who isn't used to the jank will definitely notice it. Like there's no tell when an attack connects to you. Most of the time the swings looks far away, the bites etc yet they still get you. There are missing audio / channels lol. Often the SFXs gets mixed up or overriden or some shit and stopped playing. The dialogue UI also gets buggy. You can get trapped in a loop of dialogue with another NPC while the other NPC talks to you. You can get trapped in a dialogue cutscene when hostiles are actively attacking you. You can't flee easily, turning is slow, and the auto targetting is garbage in Gothic 1 Classic. It just has bad clunky controls. You get stuck on doorways, and fucking low hanging tree branch pixels etc. The game lacks polish lol. If the Polish made the game it'd be probably a better game (+9 reddit upboat)

batman series im onto arkham knight still by far my favorite one in the series. its still better than pretty much any open world game because of the pacing and depth of content and lore and writing/ voice acting
i already 100% it before so im just doing main story but its really easy to get lost doing side content and its good content rather than how modern games where its mindless filler
only planned to do the first island but ended up going to the 50% point in the story in one sitting

Everything about the game is generic garbage and shallow. Builds and skills etc are arbitrary. Roleplaying is trivial. It doesn't fucking matter if you're building a brawler or melee or fucking stealth ninja or sniper or guns blazing maniac, the enemy AI is fucking too stupid and generic to adapt to your builds. You're gonna fucking stomp them anyway regardless of shit. A good game with good AI and enemy/game/objective design will have certain enemies that only have certain weakness/strength that could counter your build, a lore/story related options related to your choices and a penalty system if you decided to do x, y or z on resolving and clearing certain objective / areas etc. It will adapt to your build as is, letting you actually roleplay the builds. CP2077 is shallow as fuck. It's all surface level eye candies.

Playing Dark Souls 1 / Remastered blind was magical. It truly felt like I was in a fucking adventure, a journey (also spiritual walk). I played it after Sekiro so that was 2019. I knew Fromsoft was something special right then and there, 10 years late, yet it made more sense today and it was then. Sorry but Demon Tower / King's Field games weren't phenomenal. Neither are all the Indie KF clones that are produced today with more polish. The KF games are way more niched and too basic to enjoy. From the basic combat to basic roleplaying (RPG classes, stats) and even more backbone lore and fragmented story even by Fromsoft standard, the KFs games made exactly like cookie cutter generic games. Souls transcended and ascended beyond that KF formula into actual something with actual form and actual substance, actual lore actual characters, actual story, actual NPCs, actual combat and builds that uniquely differs from one another.

RE games are movie gaymes too. It also has all the cringey self-indulgent juvenile chuuni Jap writing that fans defended as """""muh camp""""". DEI and LGBT has existed in Japan since the earlier 2000s. They employed female writers and designers to design your bishonen MCs and add in all the queer/BL/Yaoi elements from DMC to Ace Attorney to MGS series to fucking Capcom. All as requested by the fans, thirst trap characters. It goes all the way to the 80/90s with Capcom/SNK genderbending characters, to making official tie-in mangas with queerbaiting storyline / bit (Zangief x Vega), and to mainstream animanga for toddler to teens, from Crayon Shinchan to Sailormoon actually fucking promoting LGBT. (All the queer gay bits from Shinchan x Kazama, and fucking Uranus and Nepture being the gay couple in Sailormoon). Kek. The Japs went woke earlier than fucking >2010s Western games LMAO. They even made a historical drama of gay fucking Samurai, Gohatto in 1999 even before Hollywood made Brokeback Mountain in fucking 2005. One Piece is fucking woke, the merry crew is championing for the woke ideologies.

because they're total fucking dogshit. An accelerated turn based gameplay consisitng entirely of dodge/parry/evade and hit/cast spell.
Completely shit AI that only can be called "challenging" in any way by such blatant cheating that it causes vomit. Example is the enemy doing some powerful charging up attack and easily turning/pivtoing 720 around its own position while doing so. What kind of dogshit design is that?
Graphics are shit. Games are full of bugs and exploits. Games are clunky. Controls are unresponsive dogshit too. There is no story and no lore to offset every other shortcoming. Weapons and Armor are not historically accurate either. There is not a single good thing about those games.
If you want to eat pig shit, have at it. Just don't go around trying to convince everybody else that pig shit is the best thing to eat.

Yeah there is less passion for making things but the world feels a lot less social post 2015/16. Video games are pretty anti social to begin with but atleast back then more localized co op stuff was a thing. Like all this interactive software was made by people that sat around in offices and had opinions about how to make things and wanted to make the product something you'd interact with others with. I don't even know about the modding scene these days but it was fun to look around at new vegas mods and what people would make. Everything about technology is just pushing people farther apart, even the brown and bloom crap filter era of 7th gen had active multiplayer scenes despite the games being janky looking back now. Kids growing up these days will probably be AI generating waifu gfs in GTAVI, zero curiosity about depth potential of games just create your own personal virtual goon partner.

Nah just kidding I just want to binge the whole thing in one go because I hate waiting for things. This way I can pretend it doesn't exist until it does. This comes with the side benefit of being able to pretend the fanbase don't exist.

The first one is a given, for its time. They were "developing" developers that started from the STALKER series and splintered into the group that made Metro. So the jank is justified. STALKER was infamous for janks too, the first game was in development hell since 2001 mind you, completely rebuilt in 2005 before releasing as the buggy in 2007. So really, it was really bad time to debut that late considering Crysis was releasing at the same time. Ironic considering Metro series kinda became the next Crysis for game technology for the next installments as we moved forward then.

Metro 2033 and Last Light are actually good. The story gives you chills and goosebump kinda good. The one that can't be justified is fucking Exodus. Sure it had all the tech art and eye candies, but having the same shitty on-rail, linear sequences and shitty AI this late in the gaming scene / era? What? Unforgiveable. Nothing was improved in Exodus. It still feels as aged as the first Metro and you can still feel some of the faint jank programming / clunky controls they had since the STALKER eras.

there is no winning an argument. Mainstream industry, with a few exceptions that are niche, has been total fucking dogshit for the past 20 years. And your rollslop degeneracy is in no way better in quality than something like Cyberpunk's degenerate propaganda.

Mooncrash is good if you like Prey. It's more of it but instead you have different people in an almost rogue like experience but it's more like trying to go through an area and clear/collect stuff but as different characters with their own unique things. It still looks amazing

if you want to see how rolling and responsiveness with rolling in action game done well, then play, I dunno, Drakan: The order of the Flame, released back in 1999. Your rollslop and other dogshit are a downgrade of games released in 1999.

Not only should you lurk moar and gayme moar before posting retarded opinions, this is also coincidentally a 30+ thread. How the fuck do you not have 25+ years of gaming experience? Zoomer much? Poor third worlder? Normie Tourist? Modern day cancer on gaming? Goy anyway.
>how about you name some games made in the past 15 years
already did. They're mostly niche, as it should be, because something new as a sub-genre or an idea has the chances of being good/great/brilliant. And so Factorio is an example of such a game. Minecraft (during Notch, not microdick garbage) is another one. Vampire Survivors (the original, without the DLC garbage) was a good idea/game too. Ruined now.

You have a number of good games in there, but some of these require some dedication to get into, which is probably not great in your situation.

Disco Elysium is great to lose yourself in if you have to patience for a lot of text. You don't even have to read it, the VA is excelent.
Darkwood is a great horror game, if you can stomach horror. It can be frustrating, although there is little punishment for dying, it just slows your progress a bit.
Inscryption was great fun, although it drops off after the first 1/3 of the game.
Hades is a great roguelite experience and a piece of art in style, art and voiceacting. The gameplay is good too.
Into the Breach is a good puzzler.
Total War Warhammer is probably the best Total War to date. A flawed gem, but a gem nonetheless.

>you're going to have to substantiate this.
first, you actually make meaningful choices in Vampire Survivors (original, not the current version).
second, the good casino like design giving you plenty of dopamine while destroying enemies and having "rewarding" level up animations and sounds of a gambling machine. it's arguably a negative, but does the job of working the brain of a human ape pretty well.
third, it is a mix with a rogue-like, inviting random into the playthrough of every level, giving you a good replayability in a video game (past tense, as mentioned it went to shit before DLC, and DLC dogshit cross promotions killed the game off).
fourth, as most good ideas, it is rather simple/simplistic. And so it became very popular so fast that countless clones were born, including, but not limited to fighting using anime girls that lost their clothing, such as the Sexy Mystic Survivors (now dead and abandoned project).

there is no such thing. this is the subjective made up bullshit parameter. there is only winning or losing. whether you spam the same one button or do a super mega complex combo with a unique build is completely fucking irrelevant.
the point of video games, the reward you're feeling, comes from overcoming a challenge. it might just be a very small, not hard, but just meaningful enough challege.
>I don't know man, it seems you're putting more thought into praising baby's-first-skinnerbox than went into developing it.
first, this is partially what the developer himself told us. he deliberately tried to apply his experience in the gambling industry to a simple video game. worked rather well, because the brain of an ape is the same, not matter how you spin it.
Secondly, you damn right I dig deep, otherwise there is no reason to discuss video games at all. How they're made/designed, why, and how they play is pretty much the most important part.

The term is for younger millennials, who were born a time when computers would steadily increase in ubiquity as their awareness of the world expanded, making computers (and the internet) the defining characteristics of their childhood, where they'd come of age basically just as social media starts taking off (starting with texting) and dominating reality.

No. When it comes to the video games the design is very important. A 20 minute intro cinematic and 40 minutes before you kill your first enemy is shit design and hence a dogshit game. Unskippable movie is cancer.
Good games must be designed in such a way that you get to the action as soon as humanly possible. Look at Diablo II, for example. You get into the game itself pretty much instantly, in 2-3 clicks of a mouse button. That's good/better design.

i have become more relaxed, patient and understanding irl, but when it comes to games, my tolerance for a game not respecting my time has gone down drastically.

when i see a trend of non-gameplay in a single player game (walk and talk sections, padding of any kind including but not limited to forced stealth sections, unengaging climbing sections etc.) I will accept it once or twice, then I will stop playing without remorse.
for multiplayer, I am similar to you, I play basically only fighting games that I feel are designed to reward time put in.

similarly, I am even more hateful about lazy design decisions, like randomised levels, procedural generation of any kind, gacha mechanics or roguelite elements. i will not touch games that have any of these out of principle.

design a good, actual videogame, or fuck off.

it's not really a card game, it is more of a turn based roguelike.

the gimmick is you travel each floor going either left or right and everything on the floor is in a ring, you can either fight against enemies or sneak past them but there is a chance you still get hit once when doing so.

the card-like visuals is mostly just due to lack of artistic skill by the developer.

Mostly various small stuff. Finished Little Inferno and found it oddly compelling for such a little thing, superb atmosphere and neat concept, wish we got more games like that. Played a little bit of Ubermosh, which is pretty cool, sort of Crimsonland turbo mode, surprised that I've never heard about it before. Sir, We Have An Orc Problem demo was decently amusing in a "relax and watch it unfold" kind of way. Mess Adventures is pretty fun and pretty funny, a troll platformer in style of IWBTG but with primary focus on puzzles, this game has a great selection of ways to fuck you over.
I think this steam sale invigorated my gaming spirit somehow.

1988 here
I'm almost 40 and STILL can't get into CRPGs or even CRPG "lites".
I tried playing BGDA2 and after making my character and party started the tutorial in that dungeon but as more characters came I realized I probably should have played 1 instead first so I got that and started playing it but same once I got past the tutorial and am on my way to some town they told me to go I picked up 2 random dudes who wanted me to go to some other town in a completely opposite direction and the combat still feels weird with dice rolls but not really? Or I guess automatic dice rolls? At any rate I gave up however the story doesn't yet yet
I then tried a more "lighter" version from what people were saying with Neverwinter Nights. I again had fun making my char then did the tutorial and stuff and made my way through now kind of understanding the combat a bit more but then I get to the area where there's like a prison break or something and I just simply don't get it there's like 15 prisoners at once running at you and you can only "dice" combat them 1 at a time. I hadn't gone back to it since repeatedly dying to some big guy and his 10 mobs in the underground dungeon.
However I have beaten BGDA1 and 2 and even CON and Hero RTA multiple times which I know are completely different but I say it to sort of show how different my feelings are towards attempts at CRPGs.
Anyways /blog but at least it was very vidya related and the point is if anyone else experienced this or what am I doing wrong?

tl;dr: tried many times to play CRPGs, always fail and go back to hack n slash ARPGs

Picked up the "special edition" of Gabriel Knight Sins of the Fathers and played through it in less than 10 hours. Loved the original. This new version is mostly the same but lacks Tim Curry, Mark Hamill & Michael Dorn, and changes some stuff here and there. Nothing too major.

CRPGs always die (heh) at the combat for me. The adventuring and story bits will be very straightforward, but then the combat and character building will be weird abstracted things with tons of options that are not explained very well. Sometimes it will assume some familiarity with a popular TTRPG system, but then based on the encounter design and changes to make it into a video game those systems could have vastly different effectiveness.
And god forbid it's RTwP. I swear those are always a bandaid fix from the devs being too much of a pussy for fully turn-based combat

I'm replaying the Gears of War games right now. I finished up GoW2 today, might get started on 3 later, or maybe tomorrow.

The longshot is a weird gun - it's either the most satisfying thing ever, or complete dogshit. It is so good to hit those headshots and hear those skulls pop. Yet I feel like it scams you - sometimes a shot will veer off to the side for no reason, or your squad shooting the enemy makes them flinch so you miss. Or you will have the perfect shot lined up, the target reticle will be red, and it just doesn't hit..? Bizarre.

NTA but Its not the means you interact with it.
Whoever tagged Ring of Pain as "card" did so in the sleaziest way possible because there is genuinely no interaction or mechanic related to cards, not even a conceptual level. It's a minimalized trad roguelike with modern UI built for mobileslop. There is no deck, no discard, none of it. At best theres some abilities that shuffle the order of rooms around because the main gimmick is killing an enemy/taking an item destroys that spot pulling everything in that direction one tile closer to you.
Its like if someone made a turn based dungeoncrawler but all the rooms look like dice so everyone thinks its Dicey Dungeons.

Got Infernax on the sale to play co-op with my son. It has been ok so far but man, newer devs just don't know how to balance anything. The game is supposed to be similar to Castlevania II, but every single screen has 20+ enemies on it (and they are always the same 3 or 4 enemies over and over). It is bad when the original CVII has more mob variety than your modern era game and honestly it also has better enemy placements / density to it. We have only played it for about two hours so far and we have already killed nearly 1000 of the flying eyeballs that are literally everywhere on every screen.

That aside, the game is otherwise fine. The boss fights are the highlight so far but I fear that there won't be many of them. "A love letter to old school Castlevania" this is not.

I bounced off Star Fox 64 due to the graphics, and this is coming from someone who recently finished the OG FF7 without any of the QoL additions. The OG SF64 would have been an excellent arcade game, assuming Nintendo would have made the most of the hardware.

Star Fox '26 is great - the voice acting warrants a few nitpicks, but it's not egregious. I think the character models are charming and the visuals are excellent. I think the music should be nominated for an award - it's an excellent adaptation of the original work. However, the game does feel rigid in some places - not a lot of customization in terms of UI, button mapping (outside of Pro 2 controller mapping), and the barebones, albeit very fun, multiplayer mode.

I'm hoping they treat it as a platform and add more content in the future - it deserves it. If you have a Switch 2, pick up a copy.

You can still play solo offlane, I had a solo offlane game just a few days ago, it's just not a good idea in solo queue.

Jungler being dismantled is pretty good. Let's anybody jungle instead, gives options in case someone is being harassed on lane and need some consistent farm and make the game more about actual teamfighting and map control rather than ricing meta.

Reporting in and I'm tired of being gaslit by people especially this board into thinking OLD GOOD NEW BAD is wrong.
I have recently been going back and playing a lot of old games especially ones that I missed growing up poor without consoles or good PCs and even though I have never played these games before they're so much better and more fun than most games out today.

You can't even call it nostalgia because I never played them before. My current game is Link's Awakening on the GBC. My dad always said why would he ever buy me a handheld game when the family imac with shit like nanosaur and bugdom was enough. I never knew what I missed but so far LA has been one of the best Zelda games I ever played. It's so charming in its simplicity but also well designed and just fun to play and keep playing to explore and see what new places there are and fun items to pop up and use. Again it can't be nostalgia I literally never played these games before. Old games are just objectively better.

I've been playing Gamedev and fixing Melee. Our generation of competitive Melee players destroyed the game and now all Zoomers do is copy them so I've had enough of facing clones of Zain and Cody and MewtwoKing or whatever, I don't have to be cheap to win and neither should anyone, my game undoes the brainwashing of competitive play by forcing players to play the game the way Chadkurai intended.

>30s is the oldest age range in which playing video games is still an acceptable thing for you to do.
thats a load of bollocks, I remember plenty of near dead 80/90 year old grandpas playing build a town tycoon or whatever it was called back in the day. the only people who treat video games like toys for children only are nintendo devs, no one else fucking cares, its like getting mad that ex military people enjoying airsoft because they're too old or something equally laughable

frankly whenever I hear that argument IRL that video games are for children i stop taking that persons words seriously from that moment onward. especially if they still watch disney movies or marvel cape shit and don't see the irony of what they just said.

I've got a 10 month old baby at home, there's just no way I'm going to find the time to beat a 30 to 100 hour game. So I have found myself having a ton of fun with some of these recent PC focused incremental games.

I always thought incremental games were gay mobile games, but I started playing some new ones that are PC focused that are more active and having a ton of fun.

Really enjoyed digseum, feed the queen, click & conquer, shelldiver and starvester. Perfect little bitesized games that are just fun and PC focused.

Life ends at 20. My grandmother tried to learn to read when she was 22 years old. Her boss was a teacher and put her on a special course for adults. Even so, my grandmother died without knowing how to draw her own name. She was born illiterate and died illiterate.
And all because her learning window had already closed.
Based on this empirical experience, I affirm that nothing complex is learned after the age of 18. Music, singing, drawing, painting, programming, other languages and so on.

I don't see it so negatively, it's more a "if you want kids, you will be playing life differently based on this". No woman you'd actually want to have kids with is going to tolerate a broke-boy loser slinging treehouse dick around town, family wanters want family men and if you want a family, you want a family wanter as she's gonna do way better than whatever cooze you'll scrounge up living like this.

Been mostly playing indie games. I've discovered a few that I really like. They're like, "Strategy RPG, Roguelite, Deckbuilding, Turn-Based/Auto-Battler" games, pretty much, but it's kind of a hyper specific niche that I particularly enjoy, where essentially the game is to craft builds for a character. Just rpg character build crafting, pretty much is a core aspect of what I look for in games, I think that's really fun, especially if there's a lot of combinations and synergies to experiment with.
So the games I've found that I think are good and I'd very much recommend to anyone are these:
SOLARFLARE, Dungeon 100, Dungeon Exiles, Megaloot, Overlooting, and Unloved. All those indie games are great, imo, very creative and unique with addicting game loops.
