    That’s me, but in a wildly different direction. Lol. I wanted to a be “gamer” so badly, because I enjoy story telling, puzzles, exciting worlds, all that jazz. But I figured out years ago, I’m just not that into most games. “Go kill these dudes/monsters/whatevers that want you dead” just isn’t a thing I can get into easily, so I found the games I like, which are generally not gamer-y games, and I play them to my heart’s content. And I’ll try other things, because you should always strive to try things you think you won’t like… But I’ve found what I like, and I mainly stick to it.

    That is, when I actually have the time to play games and don’t choose TV or an audiobook+embroidery as my wind down routine

      I’m halfway between the both of you (minus souls like games, fuck that noise) got any recommendations? I’ve been leaning towards “not gamery games” a lot more lately

          Took me 3 tries to finish it, and I basically had to be firm with myself to only play that and not get distracted by other games.

          It’s very good, but it’s one of those games you need to play in a relatively focused way, like watching a movie.

            Same conclusion I came to. It’s why I haven’t gotten very far in. I generally only play games for about an hour or so before bed, and it requires too much attention to be able to do that, so it was back to desperate housewives and cross stitch before bed
