This is why having older, simpler games on hand is nice.
Play games during the work day, problem solved.
I think a lot of this would change if games didn’t have so much loading and setup. You get the opening logos, loading, then main menu, then continue at the checkpoint you were at, then recontextualize where you were, then finally get to some fun task. That can feel fatiguing to do all that setup.
A lot of this changes through console “sleep modes” that keep a game in memory for multiple days.
recontextualize where you were, then finally get to some fun task
This is my hang up, the other parts are pretty meh with the advent of SSDs and such and I’m old enough to remember how long things took in the before times lol
But man, games are much more complex now and once you’ve lost that inertia it can take awhile to get going again on a game because of that whole recontextualiztion process and if it’s been long enough, re-familirizing yourself with controls and everything too.
Getting rid of those intro logos and stuff is one of the first things I look up how to do when installing a new PC game. I do love the PS5 sleep where I can literally just keep the game running and instantly go back to where I left it as if I had the console “on” the whole time; but it’s only good if I’m wanting to play that same game and not jump to something else.
I hate adulting
This is me. Proceed to stream some crap and simultaneously fuck around on the internet like here.
Thats why you gotta pull out the handheld console and lay back on bed.
Hurts when you fall asleep and drop it on your face, though.
multiple times, while thinking “I’m holding it, won’t let it drop again”
Play smaller games when you’re tired, save up the energy for big games at the weekend. Or if you can afford it then take a day off to play more games!
Kinda mean you’re entering the phase where you would drop persona and get something like euro truck simulator.
The midlife crisis phase.
Part of why I love WFH. Tired? Set a timer and play for a little bit then right back to work. Still tired, but at least not completely sad.
Hell these days I’m just excited if my kid lets me sleep all night. Yesterday was up since 3 am.
I have played CoD, Cyberpunk and Dragon-age while in boring meetings. Good times.
I’ll just turn on a let’s play and catch the vibe of the game, and fall asleep
mfw sunday 😔
Final fantasy 12. You program your party’s battle AI, which they call gambits in the game. There’s enough interaction to still be playing a game and not watching a movie, but you can kinda zone out if you need to and not fuck up too bad.
Yes! I haven’t tried it on the Switch version, but im the OG version there were areas where you could set the gambits to target low-moderate HP enemies and hang out near high HP enemies that created lower HP enemies. When you added in heal and revive gambits, you could set it and come back to it in the morning many levels higher. Definitely died a few times when I wasn’t watching, but I enjoyed setting up the contingencies. I also liked having max characters and destroying my opponents.
Been playing FFXIII and its Paradigm system is also pretty chill. But the game just. doesn’t. end.
Why I like arpgs. Kill some monsters and stuff explodes. Ggez.
Persona 5 requires some thought. Don’t play it tired.
