You’re getting a lot of downvotes because Lemmy members game and don’t like it when the things they like are talked about negatively.

This may be truth but I down voted because addiction and gaming were thrown into the same pot. You have to differentiate this topics a little… It’s the same like: car drivers don’t give a crap about the environment and drive like a*holes or people interested in football are drunken hooligans…

Too much of something is literally almost bad for a person.

Edit: plus it’s posted in a gaming community too

example,

no, they’re getting a lot of downvotes because it’s spam.

they’re not interested in legitimate discussion, they only need to promote the spam links at the end of the post.

Depends on the game. Deep Rock Galactic is a good example of a more pro-social game, in the fps genre no less.

Assuming you have not reached the level of actual addiction anyway. Anything enjoyable, even things like sweets or gambling, can potentially become addictive. That’s a whole different consideration.

I'd say Honkai Star Rail is the most commute-friendly one, since it's based on turn-based battles. Genshin is definitely not the best one for that. Exploring the open world and doing quests take a long, long time. Honkai Impact 3rd has short missions too but it's action oriented.

Hypnospace Outlaw is hilarious and perfectly captures the weirdness of the early Internet.

Also don’t forget to talk to your kids about the dangers of shonking.

Chiming in as a parent. My kids are MOST social when playing video games. They hop online with their friends and they chat and laugh and bullshit with each other.

The case against video games was created by people who think staring at the TV until they fall asleep is a good night.

Doing anything excessively leads to that.

What you are describing is addiction in the broadest terms and really is nothing specific to video games.

slazer2au,

Yea, replace video games with alcohol and there is no difference in the message.

I read that title and thought you were asking where to download cracked versions of games.

Nah :P I might be sailing the high seas from time to time, but never when it comes to indie games.

I’ve been playing Sail Forth. It’s very basic, but still fairly fun.

Yes! studies have found that increased hours of gameplay can be associated with higher feelings of loneliness and anxiety, potentially indicating a substitution of social interactions with gaming

Deestan,

“Associated with” must not be translated to “leads to”.

Wet clothes lead to hurricanes.

I really think Genshin is awful on mobile. Even with a high end phone I had extremely bad performance. I haven’t played Honkai so can’t say anything about that.

To be fair I wouldn’t recommend Genshin at all, I’ve been playing since launch and there’s a lot of FOMO, so just by starting now you already missed many things that will never return (like weapons, events, etc).

I really liked the Nier Reincarnation game and played full f2p. The story telling and the soundtrack is beautiful. The game will be closing in the next months though, which is really sad. :(

Age of Booty.

Very different than what others are recommending. It’s a fun arcade game.

I like Raven's Cry but it is a janky game so be warned.
