Games.

Video games to be specific.

I have several that I am rather fond of.

Back in the early oughts I was so into Ultima Online that I learned how to code in C# just to be able to make a server to play with.

My friend group, though small, have a small selection of games that we cycle through that are multi player. This includes Conan Exiles, 7 days to die, Green Hell, project Zomboid, palworld, valheim, raft, subsistence, Stardew valley, and red dead redemption 2 online.

Of the ones that I listed… Palworld is the newest one and the one that I am most likely to be on a solo run with.

I used to love 7 days… the developers really ruined it. It looks great but they keep taking the game and wiping their backsides with it then when the fans try to make suggestions they are asinine to them. It makes it less fun.

Project Zomboid is complicated. 3rd person view and I keep dying.

Raft is fun. but I don’t like having the shark attacks on.

Conan Exiles rocks. Over all good multi player game.

Valheim… I don’t like the building mechanics in this game.

Green Hell is better now. The first time we tried to do multi player there was invisible natives and I kept dying.

Stardew valley is Farmville on crack. Lol

Rdr 2 I am struggling with this one. Not good at stealth. Not good at shooting.

Palworld is basically a pokemon clone with a better story.

It’s just a Game…

I was given Conan Exiles.

I have been enjoying it immensely. However I have been trying to avoid the slave taking in the game. I really don’t want slaves. And I expressed that to the person who gave me the game… and they immediately said it is just a game and that they don’t see the reason why I am so worried about it.

I play games to have fun. Doing the right thing in a game for me is fun. I love crafting and building. In this game gathering and hunting is kinda fun? Not really my normal thing but I don’t mind it as much…

Games that force pvp or something similar tend to be ones that I avoid – actively.

When I said that he pointed out that I have not in the past presented problems with the players in my D&d games having slaves… well I guess I have to go point out that I don’t make other people’s choices for them… and I don’t judge people on their own choices. At least not in entertainment. As long as they don’t literally hurt anyone else with their choice – no one else has room for judgement.

So, what ever way you play – what ever game you play – Game on!
