    Spending a week installing Skyrim mods and playing the actual game for a week before running into a game-breaking bug that I cannot get around.

    Not sure about comfort… but I always find myself picking rocket league up on my steam deck for a few matches. Probably because it’s a bit mindless and lets my brain take a break by only reacting in the moment.

    I like games with beautiful open world environments I can just roam around in so Witcher 3, RDR 2, Far Cry 4, Subnautica. I also like games I can quickly jump in play a little and quit, so playing a few quick matches in Dead By Daylight is comforting

      Holy carp you do. Once I hit about level 20 the culture of that community just went crazy. Everyone was just a complete shithead and cared so much.

      I wish I could have capped myself at about level 10 and hung around with the other casuals forever, but instead I quit once I got enough counseling to put down the mouse and stop running bottom route sup.

        The problem is 9 out of 10 games are just misserable… but than that one game hits and it hits different, so good you forget the other 9 games and makes you crave more.

        But I’m clean now… since January I got my League fix only from the eSports…

          I hear that. It’s been over a decade (or so) since I’ve played and I still remember a few of the games very specifically. The rest are a blur with a general feeling of annoyance left over.

          Since I never spent the hours of learning how to min/max my build against every conceivable combination of enemies and teammates, I never could do well at the higher levels. The net result was mediocrity in my style and huge waves of anger from the random people I was teamed with.

          To be able to compete you have to invest huge efforts into learning the builds and styles to match. I just didn’t care enough, but with the XP system always climbing (by sheer games played), I was pinched out just because the system has room room for casual play.

          The spikes of reward from the mid level games were quickly dwarfed by the constance negative experiences as I was forced to level up.

          High five as fellow recovering ex-LoL players!

    Alpha Centauri.

    I know I’m aging myself, but there has never been anything else like it. The depth, the narrative, the way the gameplay evolves. It’s a masterpiece.

      Nice, and I fully agree: The best turn based 4x Civ I have played so far. Music, fractions and the story are all perfect. The factions play quite different and allow for diverse strategies to win. Surprised that there are not more copy-cats that try to pull it off.
