Hello my fellow peeps!

What do you play when you're bored? What's your "pick-up whenever" game and continue playing?

Earlier, when I get bored or just want to relax, I would fire up the trusty Euro Truck Simulator 2 and play that, but now I'm stuck on what to play without thinking where I left off.

Thanks for the input =)

Aurora 4x

I like the pace and the vast amount of things you can do.

Looks interesting, and I love the space stuff, but the UI is off-putting and the learning curve is huge. I tried RimWorld, but never got anywhere with it.

When did you try RimWorld? It is one of my favorite games (the only one i paid the full price) and I don't know why but if someone enjoys it I'll be happy. I wish I was trying it first time now. After the early access it became better and there are a lot of mod options after you got bored playing vanilla.

I tried the version 1.0.2096 on 7th of January this year. I really love the concept, but I'm having a hard time with it.. Any recommendations?

You can add me on the steam for tips and tricks and mod recommendations or we can talk here. I'm guessing you are having a hard time keeping your pawns sane and alive at the beginning. My first 4-5 colonies wiped out too fast but i learnt my lessons. Here is a little spoiler: First day build a shelter for stockpile zone because items deteriorate outside, and a barracks with beds. Second day go for electricity, kitchen and walk in freezer. But before these you have to chose your pawns carefully because some of them are incapable of some jobs and start with crashlanded scenario.

Aurora 4x is truly daunting as the learning curve is harsh, but it's rewarding. The dev is making a new version with supposedly better UI, but that won't get released shortly (it's a long term project with a single dev). Distant Worlds Universe is the closest I've found to Aurora in terms of gameplay (I like the non-controllable "private sector" ships doing resource management and expanding economy, but sadly very few games implement anything alike).

I tried RimWorld, and I tried hard to like it, but it was way too... plain, like a barebones version of what it should actually be :/ I expected a more approachable version of Dwarf Fortress but I got bored too soon having not much to do in terms of developing a settlement.

There is always something, never bored.

Maybe Heroes of Might and Magic 3. That never gets old. :D

Depends mostly on my mood, but in those circumstances I tend to just feel like chilling, so it's usually something like ETS2 or some casual game (I feel a bit like a dirty pleb :P, but those games are kind of nice for chilling).

My point exactly, ETS2 with radio on = chill zone.

Yeah, then I'd definitely recommend a casual game. Stress-free gaming is nice sometimes.

Europa Universalis IV, so according to my steam profile I get bored a lot...

Also Overwatch, and recently theHunter: Call of the Wild - these don't really require you to think where you left them off

Currently it's Pinball FX3... and some Lexica. The kind of almost neverending games that you can always get back to...

Used to be Fallout New Vegas, but over the years I downloaded so many mods that I have an impossible time choosing which ones to use and which to set aside. I can literally spend a whole day trying to decide which mods to use, only to fire up the game and run into mod conflicts like multiple doors in the same spot or an existing door that's used by more than one mod, stuff that can't be resolved with a bashed patch.

Team Fortress Classic - old multi-player game from 1999. It's basically dead though. There are approx. 6 servers with notable activity, and even some of these may be empty at times.

MTG Arena. Glad to have a properly working digital way of playing Magic by now; just sad that it's only standard format, but hey, better than nothing... :)

Isn't that super expensive? The cards?

You can dump money into it like into a sinkhole, yes. But you can also make/find a deck that relies heavily on a single set, lay low for the first few weeks and just buy that set exclusively and once you have that deck you're good to go... ...your collection will grow over time via daylies.
I bought the 5€ welcome package back in the closed beta just because, but that's it - and I'm really fine with my collection. Not that I can play everything, but I can play anything I really want by now. (getting enough rare wildcards is the biggest issue (since there are two different types of really good two-colored lands (for each combination, thus 20 different cards, thus 80 cards in total) and both of them are rare))

Moonlighter for me. It's like recettear: an item shop tale. It has both the shopkeeping aspect and dungeon-diving aspect. You can't spend too much time in a dungeon. An invincible monster shows up after 20 minutes. With random dungeons that feel more random than recettear.

Argamore, send me a friend request and I'll gift you Minion Masters.

I know it's F2P now, but my gift copy should give you cards. There's also a new expansion that just released, and will be free until March 15th, so now's a good time to start, if you're interested.

It's a game that takes on-the-fly thought, and matches take 5 minutes max, usually less than 3. There's multiplayer, multiplayer co-op, and single player. You can do what you wanna do, and go at your own pace. Grind if you wanna grind, or play casually if you don't feel like taking it too seriously.
