      I want to like Rimworld so much, but without mods it’s unplayable, and with them the game stops being fun. Rimworld misses something, I I can’t put my finger on it.

    Elite: Dangerous has lots of players that complain all day and play all night. Probably EVE too

      I found Elite: Dangerous incredibly cool. How many chances will we get to explore some version of our solar system? I know the game feels empty, but I found it relaxing for the same reason truck simulator is relaxing, just cruising and enjoying the scenery

              Grinding hours on steam aka using s.a.m. , archi steam farm or similar programs to emulate playing the games for hours while the games are actually not running.

          Yeah, like DNU said, something more grindy. Or something difficult. Somorelike PoE where you can play thousandsof hours without seeing everything or knowing everything. Or like Black Desert Online with its afk mechanics. Or a game with a lot rng like dwarc fortress or rimworld.

          Or speedrunning stuff. But some kind of idle… 😅 indeed unexpected.

          Well maybe it is because said games are my timesinks… Even though I haven’t played any game as long as he/she did.

      I hear KSP 2 is good now that they added career mode. I’ve been holding off getting back into KSP just because of the time suck factor of it. But might have to check it out again.

    Morrowind

    It’s one of my favorite games of all time. But choose a wrong setup and you’re screwed. Don’t get anything before heading out you’re dead. Attack and peasant, dead. Go in that cave, dead. Get winded before doing anything, dead and frustrated.

      Brew a bunch of Fortify Intelligence potions, drink them, brew some more, repeat. Later make Fortify Strength potion, gives 1000+ strength for over an hour, one hit kill everyone.

        If I recall correctly you meet a guy who did that with agility (or was it acrobatics?) just after leaving Seyda Neen. It didn’t end well for him.

        (Also, I haven’t played that damn game in probably over two decades; how the fuck do I still remember that town’s name…? How the fuck do I still remember Fargoth…!?)

          Scroll of Icarian Flight. It boosted acrobatics. AFAIK, there’s no way to make a spell or potion boosting a skill, just the 10 attributes. So the few jumping scrolls are all that you can get.

          Also, a note about unexpected consequences. Boosting your strength to ridiculous proportions can cause your weapons to basically explode after one hit.

        At that point, you might as well just use console commands to set your strength to 1000.

          Not the same thing. Abusing rules (or code bugs) is “cheating legally”. You can also make a spell that does Soul Trap to self + fortify attribute and said attribute will be permanently fortified.

    Ark. The original anyways, I refuse to buy 1.5. It was a poorly optimized piece of shit full of broken crap yet I couldn’t stay away. That is, until, it became so bloated I couldn’t fit it on my SSD anymore.

        The only saving grace on it was that if you were on private servers that were mostly PVE, you could just capture them all in cryopod and then you only had to log in like once every two or three weeks instead of every 3 days cuz all you have to do is generator

      I did all my time in single player because if I got to some dumb unoptimized/bug I could cheat my way back because fuck them. I too will not buy this BS 1.5 either. They had their chance. I’m still bitter that instead of fixing the base game they got dollar signs in their eyes and just started releasing dlc.

        Everyone was pissed when they started putting out DLC in a busted ass early access so they just went all ‘mission accomplished’ and said the game was done.

    Minecraft. There’s always another automatic farm to create, a new cave to explore and a new mod to try out! Not to mention the fun that multiplayer brings…

      I’m currently playing a modpack called Divine Journey 2 which I started back in the middle of October. 280 hours in and still in chapter 11 of the quest book (30 chapters in total) and it’s still addictive and enjoyable.

          I’m very glad that you’re liking it so far. The tips you see at the bottom left of the world loading screens are actually very helpful so don’t miss them
