Since getting married, I’ve been popping in and out of multiplayer games more often as well as more closely curating what single-player games I purchase.
I enjoy longer narrative-driven, single-player games; they’re like a good book and I aim to be just as bummed out when the game ends as I would be at the end of a work from my favorite novelist.
But I cook, I clean, I do the shopping, and so I end up with a lot of short periods of free time throughout the day. The newest (but not franchised) multiplayer game is usually what I’ll play if I can come and go at my leisure without provoking the ire of other players.
I’ve never really wanted to 100% a game, pretty sure that was just FOMO, but every now and again I will want to replay an old game.
I was thinking about getting one but then I saw Retroid’s line of products. They run Android instead of using FPGAs so you can play regular Android games (including modern re-releases as well as Steam’s Remote Play) but they dual-boot a stripped-down version of Android for running emulators with better performance.
Was hella fun playing MediEvil on the flight from the US to India and that was with the Retroid Pocket 2, they have a much larger model out now.
I feel like we all just need to chill out when playing video games, it isn’t like anything we’re doing is important, has an impact on the world around us, or is meaningful in any way.
If I, an adult, went into a laser tag arena filled with a bunch of kids that are screwing around, not really playing the game, then I get angered about this, I’m the asshole and I’m the one getting kicked out of there is a problem.
I could say to these kids “we should focus and play the game” but they’re already playing the game, it would just be me that doesn’t like the way that they play.
Then, the only things that me being annoyed have achieved are: I’m no longer playing the game and enjoying the time I spend, I’m making the environment hostile and toxic, and I’m probably not having a good time for the rest of the day.
Easier and less stressful to not pay attention to what others are doing if it genuinely has no real impact on your life.
