For me, it’s Kerbal Space Program.

      What’s Railroader? Your list of games makes it sound up my alley.

            i defiantly recommend it, id point you to some of the streams ive done, but between the mic not picking up sound randomly, and my internet shitting the bed (like last night) i have not gotten a single good stream in a while.

            so check out Hyce’s channel on youtube, hes done a fair amount of videos on the game, he actually go me into it

            I had a choice to make between the two, and railroader being about $10-$15 bucks cheaper for me kinda cinched it. I really want it tho, hoping I can catch it on sale soon

      I bought this game like a year ago and have been afraid to install it for that very reason. Just haven’t had a week in my life that I can completely clear my schedule. I feel like based on what I’ve heard about it, it’s likely to scratch that same sort of itch that Kerbal Space Program does for me…

    The latest was Elden Ring. Before that, probably Oxygen Not Included. I’m currently fighting the urge to return to Project Zomboid.

      I ended up trying to min/max Oxygen not included way too soon and burned myself out very fast. I basically ruined the game for myself.

      P. Zomboid is just way too hard for me lol but it’s so good

    Warframe for me. They tickled that lizard brain juuust right with their FOMO marketing. Played religiously and exclusively for 3+ years. I managed to dip when they released a strange space ship combat mechanic that didn’t relly work. Clocked about 3.5k hours total.

    Destiny 2. Yes I know it got bad. I grinded on regardless, swearing next season would get better.

    It didn’t.

    I must be one of the 5 people that still play those games, but Bejeweled. I don’t know why, but that game series has something I can’t quite put my finger on that I simply love. And oddly enough, it’s just bejeweled in specific, I find all other match-3 boring, for some reason.

        I have a soft spot for Twist as well, it’s a delightful little gimmick for Bejeweled. The music in that game specifically is surprisingly catchy, too.

      Hoooo child I lost some hours to that one.

      Fortunately for me, the wife liked it too, so I didn’t have to answer too many judgemental questions.

      Rocket League on the other hand…

    Anything in the camp of Civ or Stellaris. I basically let myself play that type of game once a decade, and only with a designated co-player (i.e. I only play them under supervision). Any other type of game I can pick up and drop easily - in fact I frequently drop them before finishing them - but not that Civ type of stuff. I’ve dabbled in all the drugs with less struggle

        I’ve tried for a long time to get into Raft. I have a friend that plays it all the time. But I just can’t get anywhere in it.

        I’m afraid to reinstall Rainworld lol

            What do you mean, for raft? Oh idk. I just can’t seem to get going in it that’s all. I’ll spend forever on a 6x9 reft and not be able to get any further.

            I also play with a controller, and it’s not really a gamepad friendly game.

              Yeah, definitely better with friends and a keyboard. I play with my girlfriend and it works out pretty well. Hopefully you can give it another shot with company and enjoy a different dynamic

    World of warcraft and rimworld.

    Rimworld fortunately can be paused, so causes less family stress.

    Not sure why I keep playing wow, have played it on and off since launch and have enjoyed it, even with all it’s flaws. Get sucked in for a few really intensive weeks after every major patch… My wife hates the game with an absolute passion.

    Definitely Dofus back then (2005-2010), Minecraft Survival Mode after that (2012-2020) and now it’s Grim Dawn.
