Sure!

Valheim is fantastic, Kenshi is brutal and unforgiving but very fun, outward is similarly difficult and fun, also very unique.

Open world is kind of a huge genre, so I'd even say games like Subnautica, terraria, etc might be up your alley.

Edit: I can't believe I left out no man's sky and hyper light drifter! Highly recommend them both, no man's sky is such a good space life sim and hyper light drifter is kind of like a throwback to the first Zelda game, but obviously updated and with some different intentions to the gameplay/story. Happy gaming!

I mean there are good AAA games. From soft still puts out bangers, CD projekt red makes some good stuff (the cyberpunk launch was pretty rough though), larian is pretty good. Most AAA studios are dog shit, but you can still find a few diamonds in the rough.

I've put over 400 hours into vanilla terraria and recently started the calamity mod, first day I put like 6 hours into it.

I don't play every day, I just don't have the time/energy. But when I do I try to make it count.

That being said, we used to play Edward forty hands and try to beat ocarina of time in a single evening, usually staying up until dawn despite the copious alcohol.

I'm not the stallion I used to be, but even an old horse has something to prove.

This is why I treat myself to the occasional coke zero and mostly just drink water. Is it boring? I guess so. But I've lost 100 pounds in the past two years and I'd really like to stay this way.

Too many negligent parents, especially in terms of health. Although American health science is pretty much profit lead dog shit

Fourth option: I filled the cart with groceries, it is now my home.

I think the issue that people are responding to is that you're comparing it to Diablo, which is fundamentally a different game. Diablo is a hack and slash game with rpg elements and a god awful loot system. Bg3 is pretty much just playing DND on a computer without a dungeon master. They're just two completely different games. You can't even hack or slash in bg3, it's turn based and tactical.

That said, if you don't like the aesthetic of fantasy games, then clearly none of this will matter to you.

Frankly, it seems like you mostly care about the aesthetics of a game (no shade, just saying) so I'm kind of curious what your favorite game is?

America is a dystopia unlike any other, where we smile and fuck each other over and then say "hey this is just the way it is!"

I hate it here.

What the fuck did you just call me?

eliminating employee vacation

Man shut the fuck up, the only employee that got a vacation was you numbnuts

This meme is giving "I have only played Ubisoft/ea/actizard titles for the past 4 years" and I mean do whatever you want but it seems silly to complain about games you continue to buy no?

I loved Pokemon, but it hasn't really changed in like 20 years. I'll play some romhacks, maybe I'll "try out" a newer pokemon game, but I haven't bought one since like omega ruby/alpha sapphire. The point I'm making is if we stop buying repetitive garbage, we can bring the small devs up and let them determine the course of game design moving forward.

Or I mean you can just.... Keep playing assassin's creed: (insert vague cultural name here) I guess

Bought a 9 dollar cast iron from Walmart for a camping trip and I love it. I'm hoping it outlives me and it should with proper care. It's already been 4 years

Right, because Kansas's vote should hold the same weight as New York or California even though there's less people that live in Kansas?
