Arcade shooter. Blowing things up.
Driving games works too.
Dropping nuke in Civilization helps a lot LOL
Idle/afk RPG is the main I’m playing.
Here are games on my phone:
StarSeed Asnia Trigger
Girl Frontline 2 Exilium
Wing Fighter
Asphalt 9
FF7EC
WOTV - game ending in end of May. Played for 5 years.
Just got Athena:Blood Twins yesterday.
I learned to limit my gaming.
Spider solitaire daily challenge 2962 games won.
Then started Mahjong do their daily challenge and maybe 5 puzzles a day.
If traveling and I am not driving I will play that to not get frustrated with the traffic.
That looks cool Jim! I interviewed at a local game manufacturer years ago, The Fun Company. It wasn’t a good fit (they didn’t call me back). But the tour was well worth it!
My sick addition is programming microcontrollers or various mechatronics projects. I liked sim-city and civilization in my younger years. Now I don’t have a windows box or much time but FreeCiv is sufficient to scratch the itch. Also X-plane but I only have a yoke and to do much practice I want rudder pedals (with breaks) but a set worth having have not reached an actionable level in the budget priority stack. Definitely considering building my own as X-plane happily accepts inputs from multiple USB devices. But that project has not prioritized itself yet either.
I found an Atari 2600 emulator last year and was reminded just how far games have come in 40 years. It did take me back to many hours spent staring at a tiny tv with a joystick in my hand.
Engineers like to solve problems and build stuff, right?
Check out Mindustry
Fair warning: people do get ‘sucked’ in it, so it might not be
so ‘casual’
Oh man, I spent so many hours on Re-Volt! Blew my mind when I discovered the modding community too, some of the creations were incredible. Scared to check out that game in case I lose what little spare time I have
aww yes. The spare time that the games eat up. Like total battle, can you even find time to sleep when playing a game like that. Thankfully I quit. but found someone to take all that I did build up to use for their personal growth.
