I'm gonna be 43 in October. Grew up on twitchy 90s shooters like Doom, Quake and Unreal Tournament.

I'm gravitating towards retro and cozy games.

I'm tired, boss. Dog tired.

    rdr2 scratches both relaxing and random violence itches pretty well.

    "This time I'm gonna play Arthur as a villain!"

    still escorts stranded women home and feels bad when NPCs get angry when accidentally riding into them in Valentine

    I mean, being a villain doesn't mean being a monster or not having manners. 🙂‍↕️

    Late forties here and in the same boat. I just finished Breath of the Wild and now I'm onto OG demon's souls for my first playthrough on my old PS3.

    Pffftt...kids... I went from racing simulation leagues online to only playing computer generated opponents (which idiots call AI), because it turns out people drive as bad in simulation as they do in real life.

    I feel this man. Most of my gaming is cozy stuff like Minecraft, Terraria, or visual novels. The weekend might see me playing some Destiny 2 or Helldivers or some random friendslop game with the boys, but otherwise I'm just focused on chillness.

    If THOSE are the examples you got for multiplayer, who wouldn't. There are good multiplayer games too, just not those three.

    To have it fair, there are peaceful online video-games, or Artworks, too, I believe, and I've been contributing and participating in one ineffably magnificent miracle... The Elder Scrolls Online... since 2016...
    I have already more than 240,000 screenshots and hundreds of video recorded for all the years, or more...
    Currently, I'm also maintaining a few add-ons at ESOUI (to dim or hide certain GUI elements only).

    Yet, indeed, usually, a single-player Artworks allow you to actually hear more, see more, notice more... to actually listen to the Universe adventured... where no fear exists to be suddenly disconnected or interrupted...


    Once this city pulsed with energy. It was dirty and dangerous, but alive and wonderful. Now it's something else. The changes came slowly at first. Most didn't notice, or didn't care. They chose a comfortable life. Some didn't.

    ~ Mirror's Edge

    Order. Purpose. Direction. No more than that. It's your lot that means to confound with this nonsense talk of freedom. Time was, the Assassins professed a far more sensible goal, that of peace.

    ~ Assassin's Creed

    It's true that our organization stretches back to the Order of the Assassins, or Hashishim, but not in the way you might imagine. The order hasn't so much lasted as been continually revived... It's the Idea that has lasted. The System. Or the Desire, every thinking person's desire to give the world some decent organization.

    ~ Deus Ex

    There are no choices, nothing but a straight line. The illusion comes afterwards, when you ask "why me?" and "what if?". When you look back, see the branches, like a pruned Bonsai tree, or a forked lightning. If you had done something differently, it wouldn't be you, it would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions.

    ~ Max Payne 2

    Me completely. Sorry, I don't wanna play DBD or space rocks or the tenth "analog horror giggle backrooms" to come out in the past 5 years.

    I just wanna "I'm not crying you're crying" about owls in Ori.
