discussion What is your comfort game?

[Naugus]

Doesn't matter if it's SFW or NSFW, what are some games you play for comfort? You know, the kind of games you retreat to for escapism when you're sick, or feeling down, or just trying to get your mind off of physical or emotional pain.

This will probably always be any of the Elder Scrolls games for me. Just walking through the virtual world, taking in the atmosphere, hearing the birds chirp, the soundtrack in the background. Just feels incredibly comforting to me.

single player or multi? I can see how the story and side activities are good for distracting one from life's woes, but the multiplayer just stresses me out.

Minecraft is an excellent decompression game, Path of Exile for the dopamine hits (or any other ARPG).

usually multiplayer, repeating some robberies, doing some missions, or simply walking around the map lol

Oooh, Morrowind was a GOOD one. No hand holding tutorials or waypoints as you wandered aimlessly through a mysterious, ashen land... I remember using alchemy to make some super skooma that made me run so fast i crashed the game. It's also the first and last game i tried to mod, with disastrous results. I had a lewd companion mod and thought "Why not have TWO busty chicks following me?" and got to work. Once I booted up the mod it became apparent that I fucked up, because my companion was singular and angry with me... Then I looked across a river and saw her standing on the shore. Confused as to how she got over there so fast, I turned back to where she originally was only to see TWO of her. Then I looked back across the river and saw even MORE instances of her... And then the bimbo clone army descended on the town trying to kill everyone and each other. I prudently decided I had no idea what I was doing at that point, and that maybe making mods is not for me.

I dropped that game because I always ended up being harassed by a jet. Did they make private lobbies now or something?

LOL. I love the weird stuff that can happen in these games, especially with mods. I used to spend ages modding my games. Nowadays I'm just using pre-made modlists, makes things a lot easier.

As long as it good to high quality of course

 

[abarairenjilol]

For me it's Skyrim, I always go back to playing from time to time

I find inflicting damage upon mindless pixels to be relaxing.

( SFW) Any final fantasy I can really just turn my brain off. (NSFW) All the Dumb Koala games really get the feel good vibes going. But if I am wanting friends I need pen and paper RPGs (DnD, VtM, and anything in the Palladium world sets.)

Anno Series

 

[Kernist]

Chess.

 

[Crashoverride2969]

Chess.

Thinking persons game. I do have to agree. It is really an ultimate redirection of the brain. I have to add as a family fun night, Risk is a bit of family bonding time, usually against me, but I still love it.
