It brought me an idea.

For a business that already have many screens for showing queue and pushes their app to order stuff, on-phone controls in-app and a timer set to when food get prepared with some delay can be a banger. Also, gifts for the winners and leaderboards. I don’t use them, but it would sure be way funnier than clickers I saw in some of them, especially if people in a queue could just jump into a game at any point, with no start or finish conditions, like in an endless arena shooter deathmatch where you joon, you frag, you log off to your burger. Less waiting anger, more rhytm to the fast-food conveyor, more customer loyalty. Ah, and kids want you to order again to make a rematch.

I only have the new one, that was made for VR. It can be played in flat space, but you can tell they did very little to make it work. The text is so small on a regular screen I can’t read a god damn thing.

I never played the original, but I suspect it’s probably better in every way except for the visuals (other than having readable text I mean).

Dwarf Fortress is my favorite game of all time now, though. It’s not old, but it just uses ASCII or tilesets. And I’ve been playing since version 3, using the default ASCII because I think it looks more interesting than the tiles.

Chill vibes. Sometimes you want to play videogames but don’t want a stressful time.

Or multitasking. I love playing Phoenix Wright on the treadmill.

Opafi,

Chill vibes. Sometimes you want to play videogames but don’t want a stressful time.

Osmos or Dorfromantik for me ❤️

But yeah… Other people read a book. Nobody complains that they’re just turning pages for hours. Nothing wrong with (merging those media and) enjoying whatever you like.

MagnyusG,

Agreed, the amount of times I’ve heard:

“It’s nothing but reading”

In regards to VN or RPGs…

Never understood how this is an argument when reading for fun exists. Specifically when comparing visual novels to books, books don’t tend to have pictures, scenarios, music, sound effects or voice acting. Sometimes reading a book isn’t interesting enough on its own and folks want more.

I can understand liking a game but not liking all the dialogue, I remember Mass Effect 3 had an option for Story, Action or RPG mode and it’d be great if more devs would implement that kinda thing instead of forcing one specific playstyle.

BattleBeetle,

Not stressful you say?

Sometimes this happens in a middle of a combat, with the combat music playing, enemies in front of me, character is in low health, and I gotta read a conversation and the only button I can press is A.

    Pretty much every JRPG too.

    FTFY. I don’t care how good you say the game is, I don’t want to sit through a young adult novel in order to play it.

    Red Dead Redemption 2. The only AAA RPG/ARPG I can think of. The exception that proves the rule.

    Ha ha ha, yep. You made me snort, lol. Great movie, great game. Sad cowboys is compelling stuff, apparently.

    Idk I don’t feel very powerful when playing that game. And I’d struggle to call it any type of fantasy.

    Ralis,

    The term “adolescent power fantasy” loses all meaning if you apply it so broadly.

    If anyone has any recommendations on these I’m all ears.

    Maultasche,

    I’m not sure if it counts, but the Ace Attorney games are great and have a bit more interactivity than just reading.

    The best game I could describe as merely an interactive movie has been The Quarry. The game itself is pretty meh (but I’m not a big fan of these personally), however the movie part is amazing. It could easily be just a kick ass horror movie. And you can even play it that way with Movie Mode, where you pick the best outcome, the worst outcome, or set up some sliders to give a mix of outcomes at every interaction and just watch shit unfold.

    Detroit: Become Human is also in this vein, with an even wilder array of possible outcomes as well as some more real gameplay and puzzle solving.

    TwoBeeSan,

    Disco Elysium is essentially a novel.

    Phenomenal game

    Doki Doki literature club is very good. Don’t read spoilers tho.

    What MMOs out there using just a single button and not 10+ hot bars with 10 actions each?

    RisingSwell,

    Old school runescape, I only use mouse.

    Eheran,

    A mouse is not just more than 1 button, it also has the directional input for moving/looking around. Something that a key could never even replace.

    What game are you playing without auto saves?

    Baldurs Gate 3 you can go hours without an autosave triggering.

    I've got a little autohotkey script that autosaves every 5 minutes if the BG3 window is open.

    Unfortunately I have a PS5 so no autohotkey for me.

    First time I played Half Life. I was only using quick save and quick load. I fall off the platform in Xen I hit quick load, but instead pressed quick save. Now my only save is of me half way through a fall to my doom.

    DreamySweet,

    Almost anyone who has used an emulator has made a similar mistake with save states at some point.

    Oh wow it’s been a while since I played final fantasy.

    When the game has a long annoying section and it stops you from saving afterwards followed by a decision that you really want to be able to undo
