Oddbean new post about login | logout I used to be a gamer. -Console games across the board, although Super Smash Bros was the one I put over a thousand hours into. -For PC, I played a lot of Subspace Continuum, StarCraft I and 2, and Overwatch. I hardly play any digital games anymore, mainly because I work on my computer all day and want to touch grass in my spare time, although I do play Dungeons and Dragons tabletop. nostr:note1kahtnhys8q6lujaae5gsysud3q62rut56qgwd6v95w24t30naxws2zu8uq
I’ve wanted to try DnD for several years now and never had a good opportunity. Sounds like a lot of fun with the right crowd.
Who do you play in Smash Bros?
I’ve got a thousand into 007 Golden Eye on N64. Showing my age
Perfect Dark tho ??
Laptop gun on felicity (facility)
FarSight XR-20 👀👀👀
who's your smash main though
D&D 5e or something better like Old-School Essentials? https://www.dicebreaker.com/categories/roleplaying-game/feature/what-is-osr-old-school-rpg-classic-dnd
No way I played subspace for years
I got 10,000+hrs into Quake 3 Arena. After that I burnt out and quit gamig for 7 years and to this day I have never touched any online multiplayer game ever again (and I never will). Thankfully, there is an endless treasure trove of amazing single player games out there.
Cool! What's your fav role in D&D?
Anything with magic. Could be a cleric, paladin, wizard, sorcerer, artificer, some sort of gish, arcane trickster, etc. or the DM.
I played an ungodly amount of Age of Empires II in my teens, on PC. I'm almost a pure Monster Hunter gamer on console, with a few exceptions.
🫡 I support this message.
Managed to get my kids into table top years ago. D&D and the like. Feels like a win to me every time the (now) teenagers run a campaign at the kitchen table. I have far less time than I used to, which is fine. I still like to keep up with what I can though.
NGL eve online devoured like 10 years of my life and i still had to look up WTF Subspace Continuum was. I slowed down playing after discovering bitcoin and have come to a complete stop when i got off 3rd shift.
My uncle used to play Eve. Looked interesting, but never hooked me.
My XBox 360 red-ring-of-death'ed in 2012 while I was half-way through Skyrim. I then sold all my games and controllers and didn't play another video game until last winter when I downloaded Baldur's Gate. So I returned to 90's era gaming and I'm okay with that.
Gaming was better then.
Try MTG! MTG Arena is a good way to dip your toes in.
I know a couple guys that talk about Arena
I’ve played MTG off and on for 25 years. Mostly the physical cards though. I dabbled either Magic Online a while back but not Arena.
My guilty pleasure for a long time was RISK board game. And when we found online versions... My Lord 🫠 So much different maps and configuratios! So much fun and a bit of knowledge gathered along the way about geography, history, strategy and a bit of math 🤗 well at least that's what I tell myself 😅
Up until a few months back, I thought I was like you: spent most of my time in front of a screen for work, had played a few games, but didn't feel like a gamer anymore. Then, my best friend told me Witcher 3 was amazing. I had bought it, but never played it, because of the reasons above. So, I gave it a try. And man was I wrong... The first weekend, without the wife and kid home, I played 8 hours a day. And I'm happy to progress after work. Not every day, but several times a week. Maybe you're like me: you need to find a game you like. And you'll be a gamer again.
Got it sitting on the shelf, but haven't played it. Maybe I need to. 🤔
Accurate to ~12 hours, I fell asleep 2x. https://m.primal.net/KCtq.png
I have been getting grilled about PoE
How so?
I keep hearing I need to check it out. I know a few people that speak highly of it.
Feels good seeing people flock around a topic that's centered on enjoyment. Good does still exist. #nostr #plebs #plebchain #nostrplebs #gaming #gamestr nostr:note1hvfxy0ycke0a0dxsgfzqrt9tjjwvfs4fgn2l0ga0ktxayctmwgnqeh66c2
I dig your coolness the more and more you share 🤙
I found this recently at my parents home 😄 https://nostrcheck.me/media/06639a386c9c1014217622ccbcf40908c4f1a0c33e23f8d6d68f4abf655f8f71/9967f23df3ba04c04f75ae1101cee64c2d7c753345730db03b1e6ff4c40f6271.webp
I stopped gaming hard a few years ago in order to go down rabbit holes and start earning money straight out of med school but then I met nostr:nprofile1qqsxua0hju3e0j3jjhs0fjs0h3htnnreh6zm4lw4d0fhsgsv4rhwwnsprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68yurvv438xtnrdakj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uq3camnwvaz7tmwdaehgun9d3shjtnev4nksun09eekjar99ujwapd9 and nostr:nprofile1qqsvmmxrr3kegphf5lttqpn5z24xv8vax8yqxhpl6ewqvvqarjkrhyspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvshszymhwden5te0danxvcmgv95kutnsw43z7nc43ae , and got lost in gaming for a month. Playing with bitcoiners is awesome, no regrets, especially since I think I needed to chill and charge my batteries. Ready to get back into the real world though, time really flies while having a good time but it doesn't pay the bills. nostr:nevent1qqstkynz8jvtvh7hkngyy3qp4j4ef8xyc255f40h5whm9nwjv9ahyfspz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsyg82krn4d5etsz7dge8nmpztspqrqvr45yl2hs6enfmzexk84wglfupsgqqqqqqsxcrevn
Never heard of Smash Bros, I had an Atari STE - Bubble Bobble, Prince of Persia, Rick Dangerous, Carrier Command, Stunt car racer & Gauntlet - I'll always remember the "You are about to die" voice on that one lol. Moved to SNES with Super Mario, Mario kart, Zelda - what a magnificent game! N64 was next and last - Goldeneye! Recently got the Nintendo Switch (for my kids), well that was until I discovered I can download all the legacy games!
Bubble Bobble: DDFFI Golden Eye: The stacks map with the grenade launcher 👌
DDFFI was cheating 😅
Super Tux Kart! https://image.nostr.build/acfd8682ec16ee0e3866b7a7fc35935a01e88eea83b4516a10d769772ccbcdd0.gif nostr:nevent1qqstkynz8jvtvh7hkngyy3qp4j4ef8xyc255f40h5whm9nwjv9ahyfsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncrqsqqqqqp4k7mx5
Play Dayz on Xbox and PC. Sometimes a little Fortnite but usually just Dayz... #hamster #gamer #dayz

I used to be a Snake main, but when Minecraft Steve came out, I switched to that. Love smash
Used to be a console gamer then had 3 kids (going on 4) lol. One day when they’re old enough maybe I’ll return…
I have 6, they all inherited my gaming addiction. 😆
Yes, I use to be a gamer myself. The addiction is hard yet the recovery is the hardest.
I was happy when I seen this. Original Diablo in a browser. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/08/behold-diablo-is-fully-playable-in-your-browser/
I’m really into hell let loose at the moment.
I've got my two boys addicted to Hero Quest , the board game. I'm delighted. I code enterprise software all day, playing board games and football out in the rain is the way to get away !
Did you play Asheron’s Call or the original Diablo?
