Edit: I got a game called Once Upon a Jester, and it’s so cute and whimsical. You play a traveling two-man theater show and you kinda CYA the different story beats and play little minigames designed around each one. It’s fully voiced and the actors are very charming and likeable. Gonna try playing this one with my kid, it seems like something we can both enjoy together! Thanks again OP.
I’m broke so a new game to play would hit the spot, thank you so much! I like crafting games, cozy games, and arcadey retro style games, but really I play a bit of everything.
You’re defaulting to your “comfort setting” which is a normal human thing.
Playing new games takes mental and emotional energy. There are also a lot more unknowns, which is a significant mental load. Our brains are naturally a bit aversive to this, especially if you’re feeling low-energy.
When you play the same old games you’ve enjoyed for over a decade, it’s a way for your brain to “veg out” as it were. The amount of thinking is minimal, and there’s no emotional suspense–you know exactly what’s coming.
So the answer has more to do with your mental and emotional energy levels. If your life is otherwise taxing in those areas, it’s perfectly fine to unwind with some comfort games at the end of a long day. If you find yourself feeling like this all the time, you might be dealing with depression or chronic exhaustion. And those are too complex to answer without more info.
yeah, there are assorted encounter types you can be interrupted by, not all are bad but many are. some start unique quests.
The encounter often times is related to where you are, so if there is a bandits hideout in the woods near a place you’re fast traveling past they might hop out and try to rob you.
Or you might run into a weird person near a village.
Or you might just run into some dudes that wanna wrestle.
These people are in the world otherwise and you could run into them while not fast traveling too, but when fast traveling you’re not like to avoid “bad” situations
I like KCD for hardcore’s fast travel. There isn’t any. You have to learn the map and move your horse the old fashioned way with no compass and no map marker for Henry. It really immerses you and forces you to learn the map.
There’s no shame in not finishing something if you got enough out of it. Maybe a little bit of guilt because you paid for it, but you can always go back and finish it later.
Maybe it’s a good idea to stop adding to the backlog knowing that you’re not as likely to finish new ones. At least until the backlog is clear. Maybe you find more comfort games in the backlog and have even less time for new ones.
I think in world fast travel points are the best way to do things. You wanna get to that city? Best take the strider. Wanna go to the town out in the middle of nowhere? Theres a bus that goes that direction. Makes it feel much better imo.
If I didn’t already have a Miyoo Flip v2 I would buy this version in a heartbeat. The love the clamshell design and portability of these things is a huge upside and I take it everywhere with me. I have been using MinUI on mine and it works great (especially quick save state and resume on open) but after reading your article I decided to change it up and move over to Knulli which has a lot more options.
If that’s okay (and if still have keys) may I ask one for my sister too? She doesn’t have Lemmy. She likes RPGMaker (or similar) games, it shouldn’t have any explicit content but horror is fine to some degree I think.
