Brain hack: Go stare at a wall for 5-10 minutes and try again, repeat until the game/activity seems fun. Your brain will start to crave any stimulation when faced with unbearable boredom.
Note: This may cause emotions you were suppressing to surface in the absence of stimulation, which will likely be uncomfortable, but also might be the reason you were struggling to enjoy things in the first place.
When you’re saying “real world” you mean mobile devices where your actual position dictates your position in the game world, right?
I really like the idea of these. Ingress started out cool, but didn’t hold my interest. I think the actual play loop kinda sucked, but it built up a decent community around the novelty.
Yeah, location based as in you and the objects in the game are based on real world coordinates. The “grid” for the game is overlayed onto the real world
Same ingress lost its appeal after a while. The gameplay loop was shallow and repetitive. It was based around rather fast gameplay loops, that would resolve, and then you rinse and repeat.
I made some cool friends though, it was cool to meet people at capture points.
I’m aiming for much MUCH more depth here. Fundamentally different from ingress of similar games, aside from being location based. More industry and exploration, with a more typical loop around economy, growth, and advancement.
Can’t confirm. Still have a working NES, SNES, and N64 from childhood. Not even 40 yet. My grey hair and wrinkles are still confined to my testicles for the time being.
This is so much better than the click bait bullshit on Reddit. I love people like you who put effort into quality posts like this, and this ecosystem in general that supports it!
I actually shudder with how much time and effort and content and moderation I gave to Reddit over such a long time. I am so much happier around here :)
Thank you for at least attempting to treat my ADHD! I didn’t realize I could concentrate on anything more than a few minutes, let alone the hour or so I spent reading this.
Awful tanky controls (understandable) didn’t stop me from getting 100% genitals shots in some of it’s missions. Local deathmatch was kinda better because both of you struggled with them. 7\10 for me as a kid, but if I’d play it now as it was back then, I’d quickly drop it in favor of something with a third person perspective. It wasn’t just there yet, and devs did the best they could.
I lived out this way once upon a time and miss it dearly. I never did get as far north as Tillamook Bay, but I have great memories of Lincoln City and Newport. Imagine my reaction when this game was announced, hah.
The photo in Chloe’s house of Arcadia Bay is one of Garibaldi, just mirrored. For plausible deniability, of course!
I vaguely recall this transition with a Call of Duty game, when you could no longer host your own, for a game where that really wasn’t necessary, unlike MMORPG.
And today with the high bandwidth home connections, hardware capability, or even just using a VPS, you could still host with appropriate performance.
