Now that is a lot of Skyrim. I do have to ask is that 5k hours playing or like 3k hours getting all the mods to work properly? I found modding Skyrim and playing modded Skyrim were 2 slightly different games when I was exploring mods for it.

That seems reasonable. Far cry Blood Dragon had a really entertaining tutorial. Very tongue in cheek funny and lots of sarcastic comments from the main character.

So portal 1 is about 75% tutorial but it’s done so well you don’t mind.

The long grind tutorials have definitely put me off games before though especially in some older games.

There are multiple mods which redo the start, some even have totally different locations and challenges compared to the default.

Been to long since I played to remember what they are called but worth a look maybe.

I loved Soma, so much existential angst.

I love the big revelations and how they are done. It’s definitely a game which makes you think.

I also love that they put in the no deaths mode so you can ignore the monsters which whilst cool I don’t think added much to the experience for me other than frustration trying to sneak past them.

I really enjoyed Stray the world is gorgeous (in it’s dingy apocalyptic way) and I enjoyed how they used the mechanics with a couple change ups to keep it interesting but not out-staying there welcome.

The ending I thought was really good.

I can see a pic of Wolfenstein the new order.

Excellent game. I love dual wielding the automatic shotguns. Soo satisfying.

Yeah I wouldn’t want them with people driving then, I’d definitely want some sort of automation to be in charge especially if there were similar amounts to road traffic.

Helicopters aren’t exactly convenient personal transport. We could definitely make smaller maybe autopiloted transports.

Regarding post scarcity, that was the point, we could do it now with enough motivation.

Flying cars.

Asteroid mining.

Maybe a Moon or Mars colony.

End poverty.

Universal basic income/ post scarcity society.

Least to most fictional I think.

So I’m in my 30s and from the UK so maybe not the most relevant person to get this sort of advice from.

It sounds like you’re not in love anymore and have very little in common. If you have no strong reasons to stay together (financial, children, housing etc) then you could have an amicable divorce and maybe gain some more freedom to explore and enjoy yourself.

Can I ask what you recommend? I just have the standard add block and sponsor block running which definitely helps but the user experience could definitely be better.

Shaving with a double edged razor rather than a cartridge one. The whole process is much more meditative and rewarding when you actually focus on the moment and take the time to do it properly. Gives a better shave too.

So it seems this post is mostly about your love of watching videos of games and why don’t more people do that.

There are a few games I want to play but haven’t. I don’t generally enjoy watching other people play games, for me the fun is in the experience. The choices I make and the systems mastery I gain. Video games are active entertainment, a video is useful to see if I might like a game or to say watch the alternate endings but spending 40 hours watching

I watch a lets play with commentary from Pete Complete playing Rimworld because it’s basically a story generator and it’s a really good bit of passive entertainment. But it is not the same as playing the game, I’m invested in the characters which develop but not to the same extent as when I play Rimworld myself.

You could install a little hook by the door and use that. The effort to put the hook up might encourage you to use it.

Rhythm helps your two hips move. I have to say it to myself every time.

The final ending in Automata had me bawling. Genuine art, just beautiful and the music really brings it home. One of my best gaming experiences.

To the moon is like a kick right in the feels. Had me and my wife in bits at the ending.

Both of them are excellent, blood and wine especially as it really nicely ends Geralt’s story. Also Tuson (sp?) is just beautiful.

My dog. He’s such a doofus but he’s beautiful and very funny, always getting distracted by bugs or plant seeds floating about.
