I find peace and beauty in the wilderness of DayZ

DayZ comes to mind. I love the game but it kind of just throws you in and says , “Hey there. Survive.”

Out of This World and Flashback. Always favorite old school cult classics.

Conan Exiles. I’ve had it in my library for ages but never gave it much thought. I’m having a lot of fun building my fortress and converting the locals to be my thralls.

Kena Bridge of Spirits. I’m so glad I tried this game. It’s quite good. The gameplay is similar to Horizon Zero Dawn and the story line touches the heart. I grabbed it free using PS plus premium.

Wake up, Smell the Ashes

GameSpy. Finding a server you clicked with. Meeting the other players that frequented there. Joining clans and chatting it up on the forums. So much creativity flowed making banners or avatars the showed off your stats from the server and such.

Exactly this. I work in IT and when looking for an answer I would Google search my question followed by Reddit and normally find a post with the answer I needed. I hope Sysadmin here becomes just as active.

Not new bands but new to me. I managed to be a mild metalhead my whole life yet never listened to Iron Maiden. I started on their music a few months ago. I can’t believe I waited until I was in my forties to pick them up. Amazing guitar work and great vocals.

Half-Life 2. I have so many playthroughs that I lost count. At the time of release, the gameplay and physics were mind-blowing. The atmosphere over time got even better when Valve released bloom lighting. The water and sky were breath taking. I still go back and visit to this day.

I had an unhealthy obsession with Bloodborne. Finished it only twice but had so many fresh starts and then just did Chalice Dungeons for a while. It fulfilled my need for cosmic horror in a way that no other game has ever done.

I played ME1 and ME2 through so many times. The story was fantastic. The cast is rememberable. Tali Zorah will forever be my first video game crush.

Presearch. I run a node and get paid for running it. The searches are solid as well.

Taking it way back to the OG Unreal. The game was amazing as well as the music.

Tried searching for 40k nothing pops up. I look almost daily for grimdank, Warhammer and 40k to hopefully pop up a community. Nothing so far. That or jerboa’s search function isn’t the best.

I deleted my 10 year old account and haven’t looked back. It was all useless karma after all.

Actraiser. That game was my favorite when it came out. Part Sim part platformer. Blew me away as a kid. I still give it a play through every few years.

Too late. I just deleted everthing

I have been branching out into genres that I normally don’t play. Having fun in Divinity Original Sin and Stellaris. Taking time to learn something a bit more complicated than just shooting stuff blindly.
