    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.
