Mine are:

Any Fallout or Elder Scrolls

Diablo 2 or 3

Stardew Valley

Borderlands 2

And I never consider it a real game, but I do sink the most hours in Hearthstone. I’ve been playing it almost daily for the past ten years.

You might be able to get a used Quest 2 pretty cheap. That was my entryway to VR, and a cheaper way to find out if it’s something you want to invest more in.

I think you just invented the Metaverse.

96.8% is my best.

Ever stop to wonder who decided that sexuality was “political”?

Sim City is a political game, because you’re the goddamn mayor.

Please explain to me how and why my genitals should have ANYTHING to do with politics.

Looking at YOU, Gearbox!

If you can’t join em, eat em.

I guess if this was all I did outside of work and sleep, I’d probably buy it. Mailbox and auction house access is priceless.

But, I got shit to do and mouths to feed, so, I don’t WoW no mo’.

I finished Inscryption last week, and have already posted a few times in various threads about how great it was.

I highly recommend it, and it’s free on Gamepass, if you’re a subscriber there.

But now I need a new suggestion. I was thinking about doing some rounds of the endless mode because I didn’t get to check that out yet, but I’d rather jump into something new. I like to progress quickly, because I don’t have time to grind, and I love wacky surprises like Inscryption had, IYKYK.

I’ll keep checking this to see what everyone else is up to!

Good luck, have fun, everyone!

EDIT: Just realized this was the Nintendo group, so sorry about the Gamepass mention. I’m on Xbox and Switch, so I follow both.

I know some people hate the idea of VR and want it to go away, others are all in.

I do enjoy it, and I want to be all in, but it’s not worth digging it out and charging it up at this point.

I got a quest 2 a few years back, and it blew my mind. We ended up getting my wife her own so we could play together. Now, my daughter plays a lot of gorilla tag, but other than that, they collect dust.

For me, the biggest thing that prevents me from using it more, is the isolation. You need to find an empty space and remove yourself completely from the world.

On my phone or Xbox, I still know what’s going on around me, and I can hop in, play for a bit, and still know what’s going on in my house. I can walk away for a moment and get back to what I was doing. In VR, it feels like more of an investment. If I’m not sure that I have plenty of time to disengage from reality, I’m not going to bother putting on the headset.

Also, I’m a sweater, and a soggy, foggy headset is just eww.

My kids and I lose things. Digital is a blessing for us.

Shit got weird. Real weird.

If you decide to play this game, (you should) don’t give up on it at least until shit gets weird.

Get out of the cabin!

It is weird and in a cabin, so I think it’s likely. It punishes you hard for making a mistake, but some overpowered cards and abilities can instantly win the match for you. It’s a good balance that keeps me trying.

I reported back under another comment here if you’re still interested!

So, I’m a few hours in. I beat the first boss, but the second one took me out.

If you ever played Murder Trivia Party by Jackbox, the opponent gives me similar vibes. He’s obviously a serial killer, but he’s got a “hey, were just friends goofing around and playing games” kind of personality, until, of course, he tortures you to death.

So, the progress board is VERY similar to Slay the Spire. There are battles, and elite battles, as well as special spaces to gain equipment, power up your cards, trade with merchants and many surprises.

But unlike Slay, where the matches feel like turn based RPG battles, these matches feel more like a puzzle. In Slay, you have stats and abilities, and your opponent has theirs, and you each face off following the same rules. In inscription, you see what the opponents next move will be, and you need to find a solution before you are overpowered. If you play the right cards in the right positions, you “solve” the puzzle and eventually win the match.

So far, I feel like resources are always scarce. Most cards require you to kill other cards to play them, and I never seem to have enough. I’m still getting a feel for the strategy though.

There are a few little escape room puzzles that you can deal with in between sessions at the progress board. Solving these will add new cards to your deck. Everything Ive encountered so far required no deduction or could just be “brute-forced” open by guessing combinations.

I’m not sure if it’s grabbed me yet or not, but I’m willing to give it a few more runs to find out.

I think I might check out Inscription.

Never heard of it until recently. It looks like Slay the Spire, and just hit Gamepass, so we’ll see if it’s any fun.

Dude, it’s time to move on. She’s just not that into you.

Wait. I just saw another post about thousands of bot accounts joining new subs. Is this to ensure “le Reddit army” can still appear active?
