Comment on Anon wants to talk about video games

I used to play everything. Then I developed a sense of taste and learned to recognize what I know I wouldn’t much care for, and don’t bother with those games. I like shit with complexity, depth of mechanics, and loads of weirdness. Like Dwarf Fortress, Kenshi, Earth Defense Force, and soulslikes.

That’s me, but in a wildly different direction. Lol. I wanted to a be “gamer” so badly, because I enjoy story telling, puzzles, exciting worlds, all that jazz. But I figured out years ago, I’m just not that into most games. “Go kill these dudes/monsters/whatevers that want you dead” just isn’t a thing I can get into easily, so I found the games I like, which are generally not gamer-y games, and I play them to my heart’s content. And I’ll try other things, because you should always strive to try things you think you won’t like… But I’ve found what I like, and I mainly stick to it.
That is, when I actually have the time to play games and don’t choose TV or an audiobook+embroidery as my wind down routine

I’m halfway between the both of you (minus souls like games, fuck that noise) got any recommendations? I’ve been leaning towards “not gamery games” a lot more lately

Most recent game I loved was disco Elysium. Didn’t get very far in, but I absolutely loved playing it
