Fun topics: whats your favorite game board, card, or videogame

Are you talking about the RTS with tanks and howitzers, oil wells and energy bars?

If so, yes. Kind of a trite story, but interesting gameplay. The "New Paradigm" voice-overs were nice. "You are in contravention of the New Paradigm."

Apparently real estate investing isn't your thing. For me it was the family business.

yes.
everyone else says "call of duty?"

I'd play card and board games if I had people to play with. Haven't played them in years, so can't really say any are a favorite.

I play some PC games, but I'm not a "gamer". I'm not the most talented player.
Story heavy games can bore me. I'm there to kill things. Serious Sam was my kind of game 😂
I don't like online games anymore. I played WoW for 15 years and got really tired of the people. Since I'm not a great player most people would be frustrated with me or just leave me behind. And too much can't be done solo.
I enjoyed Skyrim a lot, as many have. Mostly prefer to play as some kind of caster. Sometimes as a sneaky type.
Mostly played casters in WoW too.
I prefer shooting games to have more futuristic or something not common. Fallout 4 was fun, for example.
Also don't much enjoy straight shooting games usually. I like extra powers or other things as well. Mass Effect Andromeda, for example. Though, yes, the story heaviness of it got old fast.
Only game I'm currently playing is Minecraft. I like the building/creative aspect to it, even though I'm not very good at it.

Skyrim is so broken. I got four pieces of gear that each had minus 25% destruction magic cost, and ran around throwing fireballs at everything for free.

Yeah. There were all kinds of ways to get around limitations on that game. Like the helmet and stone boosts (blanking on what they're called at the moment) with rezzing. Kill stuff, rez it, kill something else, take the helmet off and put it back on, rez the old and new stuff. Wait 24 hours to use the stones affect again. Bypass all rez limitations. Could get an army of just about everything, plus whatever you could summon. Was crazy.

Ritual Stone and aetherial crown. I remember that trick. The spiffing Brit covered it, so I tried it myself. Totally broke the game. Again.

Yeah, the kids at w*rk were talking about Warzone 2100 and I thought they were talking about something that involves planning. I was quickly disillusioned.

I'm more campaign than PvP though. The online Warzone 2100 players have become so meta that newbies don't have a chance. With the tricks they use, even the game devs would be wasted before they knew what happened.

I LOVE family/friends' games!

Charades is good fun.

My siblings and I played a game I thought we invented... we called it The Dictionary Game. I much later saw that it's the same as a game called Balderdash.

We just use a giant dictionary/encyclopedia, notebook/scrap paper, pencils. When it's your turn you (book holder) pick a word nobody would know (ask if anyone knows it) and spell it out. Then on a small piece of paper you write the correct definition in your own words (so it doesn't sound too official), fold it up.

Then everyone else in the group writes one or more of their own definitions, fold it and give to the Book Holder who then numbers and reads all the definitions. Anyone gets a point if someone picks your definition. There's usually a lot of funny ones... so we laugh our heads off.

you might like terraria. my fave game. (new.) you might like stardew valley.

Flare has story, but is also brute force sometimes.

That actually sounds like a super fun game, but I would be such a party pooper at a game like that. I know way too many words. Sure there are some words I don't know, and I'm not going to go looking for them just to complete the set, but the game would become interminable as the book holder kept throwing out words and I kept shooting them down because I already knew them.

Unless I was the book holder... Hmmmmm.

I've heard the first two mentioned but never looked into them. Not sure if I've heard of the last one.
Due to some health things I'm currently not playing intense/fighting games, though. 🫤

not intense. mostly clean. look at it a bit.
not a violence fan myself.

Then what is brutal about it?

have you ever played the ur-quan masters? it is free on steam or for download. it has an amazing story. I have gone through and beat the full game 3 times
