If you’re from the South in England, and haven’t made any friends by uni (if you even get accepted) just give up, you’re never gonna make any, not over there at least.
That’s kind of wild to me. There’s so many unique types of games, and not a single one interested you?
That’s like not being interested in an entire media category.
I can understand not relating to the gamer culture, but even my grandma games on her tablet.
I played all the way through Jedi Outcast and most of KOTOR…I’m not a Star Wars nerd but I really like the sound design and world architecture. I got halfway through Resident Evil 1, and partway through Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem. I could not even enter the town on Resident Evil 4. I got my ass kicked in 80s arcade games in the reg. I have a Gamecube and a Wii system in the closet, I think.
As I said, I tried. I just cant sit in a space that long doing something that isnt creative. The puzzles are cool but running and shooting and frantic shit just annoys me rather than excites me.
I bought the Wii for my wife because she was once a huge Mario Bros fan. She never played it because it turns out she had a very unhealthy obsession with the game, so I completely wasted my money on it although I did enjoy the bowling game for a while.
So…just not into it.
Fair enough.
I’m not going to argue about what does or doesn’t appeal to you personally, and I know you probably didn’t list every single game you’ve ever interacted with, but it sounds like action-heavy games aren’t your thing?
There’s plenty of puzzle games, and games that revolve around creativity though.
Minecraft got insanely popular partially because it allows you to express so much creativity.
If you consider giving games another chance, I would recommend the recently released indie puzzle game ‘blue prince’. It involves a lot of creative thinking to overcome its challenges.
Yes, there have been a few others. Machinareum was artsy, relaxing, and fun. But mainly it’s an issue of time now. I dont even get to watch movies or shows I’m interested in. Self-employed, home studio musician, wife recently blinded, pet care…its a full day every fucking day
Totally understandable.
Sounds like you have plenty of more important things to focus on right now.
It probably sounds like I’m really trying to sell you on games now, but did you know there’s games and mods built specifically for blind people?
I’m not saying you or your wife should play them, I just thought it was an interesting coincidence, as I’ve actually developed a couple of audio games before.
Anyway, I’ll leave you to go focus on what matters, not my rambling or videogames.
No money, no friends? Maybe that a signal it’s time to take a break from the screen
Going outside when you’re nowhere near a city:

Northerner terrifies Londoners by saying “Hello”
I moved to the southeast like a year ago and yeah, people here are firmly aloof. I once said hi to a neighbour too loudly and I think he moved away.
That’s all of Alberta CA I think
You’ve never gone tromping through the woods?
That’s where me and the dudes go to have fun with each other.
instructions misunderstood. Bear is playing doom Eternal with me. Please help.
I recommend the original, as it can run on anything.
The doom modding community is wonderful. Found a ton of mods here if anyone is interested:

Including crabs
You’ll come back with dozens of friends (ticks)
My first friend is the sulfur sock.
Kind of (300+ miles on the trail), though I’ve never found anything close to a friend or a money.
I imagine you haven’t found fees or foes, though.
Exactly.
I tried, but could not get into gaming at all. Boy am I glad about that.

Groovy, thanks!
