Started playing the game Valheim on Steam. I've never really played a survival game before, and this one seems like a gem. Having fun just beating up trees and enemies for resources at the moment, and putting together some basic places to crash at night and through nasty weather.
Looking forward to gearing up and going on some adventures.

I think I make this status every so often, but I'm here to make it again.
I don't really understand single player games anymore.
I have a few games I could be playing this Sunday morning, yet I always gravitate to NHL 21 and thinking of re-activating my subscription to FFXIV.
Pushing my limits of patience and skill against AI enemies/bosses for the sole purpose of clearing chore lists and seeing credits roll... doesn't really compare anymore to the thrill of dominating a game online against actual players, or having a really good run healing/tanking a dungeon in FFXIV that makes people walk away thinking "holy crap that guy made it look easy" or helping other players with less experience.
I think the only single player games I can do are shorter ones that are either easy enough to not frustrate me, or have such a fascinating story or world (just being pretty doesn't count) that I can't give up until I see how it ends. And the well is pretty dry on games that meet those criteria after 20-30 years of gaming.

Never thought I could ever find a total opposite of mine in videogames 😂 I can't understand how people can handle all kind of players online, speaking , raiding, all the multiplayer MMO stuff (and especially chatting with others, together with all the "good" stuff that is thrown at you) . After let's say 15 years of gaming, I love single player games more than ever while avoiding multiplayer games like the plague. They are my little intimate haven. And that is because I played a MMO for a long while, some time ago. Never again.
Note - this ain't a "judging you" reply. Just saying hi from the other side of the border
really fun to see a completely mirrored view on games

@Copanele Oddly enough, I kinda dislike people. Especially these days. Thankfully I don't come across too many (vocally) toxic people in the games I play, it helps I'm actually a pretty nice guy until someone gets on my bad side lol. In the context of involving them in the kinds of games I like to play... it's more tolerable if they're involved in something I actually want to do, and having the option of kicking them around a little bit isn't so bad.
@starcrunch061 I call it the unemployment/retirement pile for a reason.
I've played single player games before, I still do, and I eventually will in greater numbers again. But I'll be damned if it's not a difficult thing to motivate myself to do versus the alternatives lately.
EDIT: In all honesty I could use a bit of a "little intimate haven" away from the world lately, so like @Copanele it'd probably be in my best interest to try and get into it a bit more. 🤔
