Why the hell should I listen to that? This is just stupid.

Battlefield 1. I hop on the same server every time and it's a nice way to calm myself down if I'm stressed about something in real life. It's much more fun to be stressed about staying alive and helping my team the best I can. The game sparked a strong interest in history for me aswell, so it's also a comfort zone in that sense too.

My pleasure! It's stumped me a few times, but luckily the hint coin system is forgiving lol. Enjoy!

That's fantastic to hear 💕

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)

My first one was the Ace Attorney crossover due to being interested in that at the time, but I've been playing through the Curious Village recently and find it very charming! I think either of those would work.

It depends for me. Something that fits your bill that I adore though is the Professor Layton games. Relaxing puzzles and a mystery to unfold in a world of the unknown. It's a very charming series!

For me lately though, it's been replaying the Zelda games. I just got to A Link to the Past and it's been a huge help when my stress gets bad. I hope things get better for you though! :)

Edit: I also recommend the Ace Attorney games, they gave me a lot of comfort in a very troubling time in my life.

No, but I see why people would like them. I personally don't like them because I feel like it's almost always an unnecessarily long scene to begin with. If it's more than 10 seconds, it just feels like it's meant to make people horny.

If the people posting on 196 are over 30 years old, then you guys have really stepped up your game.

Haha, honestly I feel similarly. I only really started learning about it after I signed up because I was trying to figure out why the word "federated" was being thrown around a lot.

I though the signup process itself was rather straight-forward, I don't necessarily understand where the confusion lies. I signed up for Lemmy like I would any other website once I learned that your account carries across instances. Maybe folk just get caught up on whether or not it's the right instance to sign up on.

How interesting! It's nice to see the Fediverse in action.

Personally, not in the near future. If the process to sign up gets more streamlined along with people not worrying too much about the federation part, then yeah it has a chance. I saw some reddit threads on a post that explains how federation works, and there was a lot of push back because they felt they had needed to understand everything to even use the website.
