Its me. Im

Here is the thing. I could have fun with some of these games. It’s just that I have been playing video games since around 1996, and I have played a lot of games since then, including AAA games.

I actually don’t mind casual games. I have played basic Ubisoft games such as Assassin’s Creed Origins and Far Cry 4.

It’s just that an AAA game needs to be really special for me to consider playing or picking it up these days. Baldur’s Gate 3 would be such an example, but it’s also a very unusual AAA game, being a CRPG and all that.

The only Sony games of the last 10 years or so that I cared about are Helldivers 1 and 2. I mostly stopped caring for Sony games after the PlayStation 3 and have been basically PC-only since around 2010-2012.

It’s not that I have anything against the mainline Sony games, I just don’t really care much for third-person cinematic single-player games like Uncharted. Not trying to be mean—if you enjoy those games, more power to you.

I’d rather play something like Dominions 6 than spend my money on most cinematic AAA games. Not saying I don’t play AAA games at all, I’m just not a fan of the Sony formula.

Blizzard during their golden age created nothing but bangers: Starcraft Brood War, Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, and Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction. They turned great games into some of the best their entire genre has to offer.

I also have a soft spot for World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade. I started WoW a couple of months after release, but I got really into it with Burning Crusade.

Additionally, Dawn of War 1 and 2 had some really fun and good expansions. Soulstorm’s campaign was incredibly fun.

What do you mean ? This released 2022 and looks normal to me

I wanted to play some games, but instead, I sat down and wrote the foundation of my setting’s lore. It was just a short historical write-up, and I did it in a bit over 2 hours. At least it’s a first draft.

I know it’s not a super ambitious goal, but I want to read more books again. I started ‘Bloodlines,’ which is a Warhammer noir novel. I’m not expecting anything mind-blowing, but just getting back into reading books again is a good thing for me. It doesn’t really matter that much what I’m reading, as long as I’m reading something once in a while.

Just want to fix my sleep schedule

I would say Crusader Kings 3, in which you play as the head of a royal dynasty, aiming to lead it to fame, power, and wealth. It plays differently from other grand strategy (map) games in the sense that it incorporates many RPG features. You control only a single character, and upon your character’s death, you continue the game as your heir. The game is lost only if your bloodline ends. Strategies such as arranging strategic “political” marriages, eliminating rivals through assassination, and managing unruly vassals are integral parts of the gameplay. In the latest update, they introduced plagues that can ravage your lands and your character. There is also war and conquest (painting the map in your color). You can play a plethora of characters, from small nobles with barely any holdings to the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire. Also, if you don’t want to bother with Europe, the map extends into India and Western Africa.

A hexbear favourite in the gerne is probably Victoria 3 It’s set in the 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on the management and development of a nation. You control a country, managing aspects like politics, economics, military, and diplomacy. The game emphasizes internal politics, social reforms, industrialization, and colonial expansion. You can be a socialist nation in this game. I do consider it more on the spreadsheet side of the gerne though.

My personal fav is probably still Stellaris which is a Sci-fi grandstrategy game. If you want any further information feel free to ask. Strategy games of all kinds are my fav. gerne.

Worked out today. So im rewarding myself by playing some Crusader Kings 3
