I typically go with single player games. Niche stuff casuals rarely play. It's not a flex or anything, I just a "distinct" taste in gaming

Get ready to be called the casual for not playing competitive games.

Duck game, gunfire reborn, witcher 3, random meme games

So many a year ago, I would tell people I was a gamer, and they all assumed video games when I meant role-playing games. Made me a touch upset. Now I see this happening in video game culture too, and I just have a smile of justification while sitting in my room of unread ttrpg books.

Exclusively Europa Universalis 4 with my kids. Is that weird enough?

Have you tried EU5 yet? (Also what's your favorite countries to play?)

[–] Shindo66@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have not tried it yet. My favorite play through is starting with freisland and neing the netherlands. Then i can stop the British empire. Ive beem playing that game since the time it was just europe. I showed my kids the game when they were like 8 and 10 and they didnt get it at all. Then, randomly like a year later they just started playing it with each other and learned it by themselves. Bow the older one is 15 and i cant even remotely compete with him in the game. Luckily, and this is one of the reasons i like the game so much, is its easy to cheat. Right now im playing with the younger one who is 12 and we are native americans. We cheated a little to not be competely destroyed, but its been a blast because its so different, yet the same. Im still paying for 3 subscriptions for eu4 and have for the past 1.5 years...

Three blessings to you, sera.

I exclusively only play games that appear as though they were made for the dreamcast.

And sometimes cheat with a bit of some REZ inspired synesthesia games. Thanks Tetris: Effect, Lumines: Arise, and all three versions of beat hazard.
