I’m the same way (also have ADHD). I love Subnautica*'s underwater gameplay and alien moon aesthetic, but I can only really play it in Creative Mode since I really like building bases and exploring without worrying about resources and dying.

(* I have Below Zero instead because I like the snowy aesthetic and playing as a girl 😅)

Cassette Beasts is so good.

Yeah. I pretty much have to play it with mods that double/triple the daytime length, or I just feel perpetual anxiety over not being able to get anything done in a day.

I never heard of it, I’m intrigued now. Do you remember what it was called?

It’s in the Workshop! Here you go: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3293418308

I really need to get more into Project Zomboid, I really love its Sims-like aesthetic and early 90s setting. But the whole zombie apocalypse thing quite scares me since I’m pretty terrified of the idea of being eaten alive by a zombie horde and then becoming a zombie @_@ (the end of the tutorial shook me to my core, lol)

I actually made a little “modpack” collection and sandbox game mode that turns it from a zombie apocalypse game to something more like Silent Hill (replacing zombies with eldritch entities, and making them spawn less frequently and move slower, but be far more resistant to damage), since that ironically makes the game less terrifying for me and more manageable to play 😅 (plus I quite like liminal spaces in general, which is something I wanted to replicate with the mod collection)

I completely forgot but apparently I joined Lemmy exactly one year ago lol

Now I’m honestly kind of glad that I’ve been too lazy/depressed to figure out how to get FOLON to run on Linux. I really hope they fix all this…

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 is my childhood game and I will always love it. I also like various other games from the NFS series, from the first one up to Carbon.

Not many newer racing games I like, but I do enjoy occasionally playing art of rally, Inertial Drift, Forza Horizon 4 and Wreckfest.

I dealt with that too, sadly. Thankfully there is a mod that can alleviate it. (I’d link it but it’d also reveal spoilers…)

I beat it last week. Amazing game.

Can’t wait to get the DLC and play it!
