Spending a week installing Skyrim mods and playing the actual game for a week before running into a game-breaking bug that I cannot get around.

I like games with beautiful open world environments I can just roam around in so Witcher 3, RDR 2, Far Cry 4, Subnautica. I also like games I can quickly jump in play a little and quit, so playing a few quick matches in Dead By Daylight is comforting
Hell Divers 2. Used to be Mario Kart kind of, although I do get competitive there. Also Muse Dash.
Not sure about comfort… but I always find myself picking rocket league up on my steam deck for a few matches. Probably because it’s a bit mindless and lets my brain take a break by only reacting in the moment.
Toy Story 2 on the PS1
Oldschool runescape
Hell yeah. I wish the Lemmy community was bigger for osrs.
Dwarf Fortress
The Sly Cooper Trilogy. I still have them on PS2
Path of Exile, I just love the game so much.
For the last two years it's been BG3.
Lately, it's been Hell Divers. Used to be Mario Kart.
I can Hell Dive for hours if I'm feeling shitty or for just one mission if I just need a quick escape. I feel like I've gotten an insane amount of value out of it.
Alpha Centauri.
I know I’m aging myself, but there has never been anything else like it. The depth, the narrative, the way the gameplay evolves. It’s a masterpiece.
Nice, and I fully agree: The best turn based 4x Civ I have played so far. Music, fractions and the story are all perfect. The factions play quite different and allow for diverse strategies to win. Surprised that there are not more copy-cats that try to pull it off.

I'd have to say Dark Souls, honestly any of them. Once you know what you are doing, where you're going, it's easy to just get lost in playing

Minecraft is the one I keep coming back to year after year. Throw in a massive automation based mod pack and I'm set for months until the save lags to the point of unplayability.
To help with lag for me I ran a server on a separate computer with some extra performance mods then played on my PC. It helps a little but still will eventually lag
Factorio
I turn off biters and play on 100x research because it's calming.
The factory must grow.
- Street Fighter II in basically any edition. Was my entry point in fighting games and to this day it just feels 'right'
- Street Fighter III, 3rd Strike (It is that good and to this day one of the highlights)
- Slay the Spire
- Contra (NES)
- Super Mario Brothers (NES) (What an utterly brilliant game)
- Castlevania 3 (NES)
- Vampyre Survivors (Ok, maybe just pure dopamine addiction)
- Sudoku
- Final Fantasy 1 Pixel Remaster
- XCOM
- Open X-COM
- Olli Olli
- rogue
- Tetris
- Into the breach ... and Quake
If you’re into Street Fighter it’s worth checking out 6. Is the first one that really hooked me since SF2.
The tournament scene for the game is crazy as well. As much as I enjoy playing, just watching some of the high tier matchups on YouTube feels like when the best dudes at the arcade would clash back in the day.
Thanks, you are spot on: Playing Street Fighter 6 casually and even bought a SteamDeck to have a computer with enough power to run it. :-) For me it is the 3rd, after 3rd Strike (ha ;-)) which hooked me, although I have to confess Fightcarde and 3rd Strike are still peak Street Fighter for me. Street Fighter IV never 'clicked' for me, and I didn't like the presentation of Street Fighter V at all.
Hope we run into each other in an online match, though I hail from Europe so we might not be in the same region.
Kingdom hearts, any one of them really. But 358/2 days is my favorite
Skyrim
Valheim
USED to be Destiny, but after 10 years, I'm just done with it now
Mechwarrior Online
Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age.
Oh my god I love these games so much. Even bought a snap on bt controller for my phone specifically to play those on the go
Whenever I’m depressed and have a hard time enjoying a game, I usually go to RDR2 or Coffee Talk.
