How many hours straight do you plan on playing video games while she’s gone?

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I haven’t been able to get into a video game in a while. Any recommendations?

Baldur's Gate 3 is great if you like narrative driven RPGs and turn based combat.

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I play DnD so maybe that’s a good option for me

Be warned: my completionist ass did a nearly 300 hour playthrough.

I think you could “blitz” through the game in like 70 hours if you don’t do every side quest.

300 hours sounds exhausting. I could handle 70

I think it was closer to 200 now that I think about it and checked my game file. Still a long time. And I turned over basically every nook and cranny of the game.

If you’re into DnD you’ll definitely enjoy it. It’s definitely very much intended to be a crpg DnD.

Neat. My DM uses a super automated system on FoundryVTT so maybe it’ll feel similar

I'm pretty sure it's a DnD game. The first 2 were

Don’t ask me, I’m always late to games. Red Dead Redemption 2 is great. I’m interested in checking out the new Spider-Man and Star Wars game but afraid of getting hooked obsessive again. Maybe this upcoming winter unless we’re Mad Maxin’ it by then

ufo50 is pretty chill if you're an 80s kid. its 50 games in 1. i particularly like house party and grimstone

I am here to suggest rift of the necrodancer, a very fun rhythm game thats only 20 bucks. Tho I think its only on pc n switch as of rn

2nded, crypt is my favorite game ever. It has great skill scaling because it's so unique. You start out struggling with the most basic starter dungeon and before you know it it's going faster than you thought humanly possible but somehow you're doing it??
