I don't! If I did, that list would have included Elder Scrolls, World of Warcraft, and the Fallout series rather than theme being honorable mentions, and it would have included Conan Exiles, Team Fortress 2, Dungeon Defenders, Total War: Warhammer 2, No Man's Sky, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and others. And Void Bastards made honorable mention despite my only having 29 hours in it.raydude wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 12:38 pmIn the interest of discussion then, I find it interesting how you tried to find your comfort game based on the amount of time spent on it. No doubt it works for you, but in my case, it probably doesn't.Blackhawk wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 10:19 pm I can appreciate that, although I wasn't looking for suggestions. It was just sharing our own individual go-to games purely for the conversation. Sort of like a 'what are your most replayed games', or 'what did you play that had the most emotional impact on you.'
And in this case, I'm not in a gaming funk. I'm in stress mode.
Some of those were addictive, but that doesn't mean that they make me feel 'comfortable'. It's such an elusive concept to describe (and I don't think I've done a good job), as it isn't about being relaxing or laid back, and it isn't about being good or a favorite. It's like imagining cuddling up in your childhood bedroom, or coming home after a long time away. They are games that make you happy just by being in the game, regardless of the details.
