I’ve finally figured out how to install frogcomposband in a docker container. It’s a fork of a game called Angband that’s played in a terminal window. Angband itself has a long history. Somewhere around 30 years if I remember correctly.
It’s setting is closer to lord of the rings but it has the insane complexity of a pen and paper, dungeons and dragons type game. A huge amount of races and classes to play and even the option to play an impressive amount of different monsters or enemies.
I think what I’m enjoying about it is that the graphics are just coloured numbers, letters and symbols. The playable character is just the @ symbol. It leaves room for the imagination to fill in the blanks which feels very calming.
When I was going through my Baldur’s Gate phase, I noticed my brain was in complete overdrive after playing a session. I think processing the crazy details in that game was too much for my brain.
Now when I shut off the game I’m not overwhelmed and I still get my role playing game fix. It’s nice.
Excuse you that is my emotional support Switch. It helps me feel better knowing I have the option to play if shit goes sideways, and tbf it has a couple times and those games came in handy to pass the time.
It’s like part of having a Swiss army knife or a first aid kit; if the day goes well you don’t need it but it helps way more if you have it on hand ¯*(ツ)*/¯
I use my Deck when I travel ( which is all the time). I bust that thing out on the plane, on public transit and in my hotel room. I literally do not care what people think of me by doing so.
I travel for work quite a bit and always take my Deck with me. Not only is it great in the airport and on the the plane, but then when I get to the hotel I can often hook it up to the tv.
2 weeks ago I was in Podunk, Ky for the week and got over 50 hours of Rocket League in from my hotel bed.
Used to travel for work and a switch at the time with BotW was a life saver for entertainment after work for the days we didn’t have some work get together planned (those were mostly Thursdays or Fridays). I have really good memories of that game.
I remember a work contact tipped me off on when they would be arriving to the target near work (he knew one of the people working there). Thankfully they were not being scalped enough and you could still find them for retail prices on that area.
I take my film camera with me and explore the places I’m at with nothing to do. Just gotta invest in a good, light, as small as possible tripod for night shooting already.
I feel attacked. I bought one these gamepads where you put your phone in. Loaded the phone up with bunch of emulators and roms. I havent used it it public but once. I cant stomach outing myself as a 30+ gAmEr in public. Its a me problem and i should just give less of a fuck but i simply cant.
I think a big part of the problem for 30s+ gamers is that we grew up hearing how gaming = lazy bums, and it’s hard to break away from that. I think in company of other gamers it’s cool, but you still expect non-gamers to judge you
