I have a deep love for open world survival games with crafting mechanics and settlement building. I'd love it even more of they had established NPC communities that you could engage in.
I genuinely wish I could live in a little self sustaining farm on the edge of a city and periodically go to market to sell the spoils of my dungeoneering and pick up new bounties.
Or be part of a community where I periodically barter different things to do whatever menial tasks the community needs done. Weed your yard for two jars of honey. Trade one to the neighbor for vegetables and turn the other into mead for next season. Help another repair their roof because I know they'll help me out when I need to fix the siding come fall.
Most of my games are just a chance to better engage in something I wish I could be doing in life.
Yeah I feel the same way because I'll never okay any of those games or anything similar despite putting in over 100 hours of gaming a month generally. I'll be playing random indie puzzle games, JRPGs like Trails/Kiseki, or some co-op game with friends. I generally lean in hard towards story driven games or I don't see a point.

Trying to decide if this is hipster or gatekeeping. Or both.

I'm skeptical of Padmé thinking "videogames" means dude-bro shooters.
FatVegan@leminal.space · 1 pts · 7h
In my experience, i play video games means dudebro shooter and fifa, mobile games, latest AAA games or ecerything else but mainly weird indie games.
Mobile games is a bit wonky, because sometimes people say they don't play video games but play 4 hours of csndy crush every day

It's typically a racing sim or factory game. Right now it's racing.
