When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game? (lemmy.world)

Yesterday I played the demo of the new game Dispatch and it is all beautifully written, but at some point, while presenting the team in-game, there was a casual funny line, pronounced by a voice off-screen, so without graphical support and I just burst out laughing (I was alone at home, so not pressed by social influence of any kind).

When I stopped, I realized how uncommon this has become lately. As a kid, I found LucasArts games extremely funny and I laughed more than occasionally, but this aspect of video game entertainment has been dying out.

When was the last time you actually laughed out loud while playing a game for something that was actually designed as funny (no Fortnite or CoD shenanigans stories please)?

There are still a few dozen active persistent worlds. They all have different flavors. Some are role-play focused and some more hack-and-slash. Some are high magic and some low. You kinda just have to try a bunch out and see which shoe fits.

If you're logged in as the DM, you basically have a cheat menu that allows you to spawn monsters, items, placeables, etc. It's pretty darn cool.
