Should I get into playing an MMO RPG?
I sometimes watch an anime or read a manga about MMO video games of some sort and it has made me interested in the concept. Obviously as NEETs we should have advantages that other players wouldn't have that come from being able to spend a lot of time playing. I've never really played any multiplayer games, and when I did, I never interacted with anyone in them, just playing them like single player games. I wonder if MMOs could be a decent substitute for actual human interaction and companionship. Does anyone have any experience with these? What do you think about them? Worth playing for a wizard?Games you're currently playing

I know i am being vague, Basically stuff that Can run on an old PC and Can give me lots of hours of Playtime:Pre-rendered backgrounds
Pre-rendered backgrounds with 3D assets should've remained until at least the 2010s for certain genres. I'm pretty sure much of the love for the golden age of Final Fantasy (VII- IX) and the early Resident Evil games is due to the highly detailed nature of pre-rendered graphics. The worlds depicted felt more alive and lived in, meaning kids could imagine themselves in it more easily.Fire Emblem thread
Anybody play Fire Emblem? What are your thoughts about Fire Emblem Engage? Personally, i'm excited for it. We haven't really got a fire emblem game before that looks this colourful, and the entire premise just seems like it could be stupid fun even if the stories bad. It also seems like they're returning to more traditional gameplay ie bringing back the weapon triangle/a jaigen character and the maps looks like they could possibly have much tighter design than three houses. But who knows. Honestly who cares if the game ends up being bad, i'll probably still get some enjoyment out of it and we know that a genealogy remake is coming because of the leaks so it's not like the series is dead if this game sucks.Slayers Online
French wizs might have heard of this.Euro Truck Simulator 2
I'm really enjoying playing Euro Truck Sim 2 right now. I'm having a better time now than when I first played it years ago. I really like the concept of the game but never really cared for driving around Germany and England. I find the general atmosphere, especially of Germany, to be depressing and gloomy for the most part. Driving around gray Hamburg under a gray sky or damp London was never my idea of fun, so even though I like the game, it lacked an environment I like. The DLCs really did it for me though, especially Iberia and Italy. I just completed driving through the entire Iberian Peninsula's coastline, starting from Bordeaux, Bayonne and going West all the way to A Coruña then south to Faro, Algeciras, Malaga, Murcia up to Montpellier. Wonderful experience and having put around 100h years ago and 20 hours now, this route is by far the best this game has to offer imo (probably, I still have to drive around Italy and France some more, but I don't think it will be as fun as Iberia, though those two countries are fun to drive around as well). I still have to drive around Eastern Europe but I'm not holding my breath for that region. Drove around Scandinavia a bit and it's fine.sound novel games
let's talk about sound novel games. have you ever played one of them? most of them didn't come out of japan/overseas so the best you can do is to watch video of it on yt but it's in japanese. not enough translation. I like sound novel games they're comfy with element of horrorgames you used to like, but don't anymore
are there any games you used to like, and you replayed them and realized they were bad?Grand Strategy

I think there is just something “magical” about old games, like someone’s great ideas put in to the limitations of a early 2000s game engine that was handcrafted by a passionate nerd. I think limitations and those unique oversights/bugs were really what spawned great games.Must play vidya
Zoomer here, I've got a lot of time to kill, I wanted to ask any wizzies here what would be some must play games for me to try out on any console excluding ps5 exclusives. I've started playing some ps2 games such as drakengard and Persona 3, I got really tired of all the dark souls I played. Preferably give me a lot of japanese made games, although that isnt mandatory. Thank you!Visual Novels Thread
Which visual novels have you enjoyed lately, wizzies? For me, I'd say my top VN's were Yume Miru Kusuri (only got one ending, am planning on picking it back up in the future) as well as "Our Lost World Beneath the Skies". I'm still looking for that VN that I can give a 10 on in Vndb, which I'm going to reserve for just one.Interesting video game videos

I've been trying new genres of games and as a lower skilled player the only thing that allows me to try these games in multiplayer is SBMM. I've tried games in the same genre without it, and the difference of what my true level is is palpable. I've been reading forum threads to see what the normies think about it. And one thing I've learned is that the type of gamers who post on forums, are usually not your typical average gamer, but more hardcore just to care enough to post. So often their complaints might be the opposite for a casual noob like me, and actually be to my benefit.Largest spheroidal map

I want to share one of the best games I've ever played in my life, not only because of its aesthetics, but also because of its playability and the great content it offers, not only that, apart from being very accessible despite having low graphics (not to say shit) Runescape old school is one of those games that are little known, this game contains millions of stories, of Venezuelans earning a living to be able to eat selling runescape gold, from people who repeat the same action for 3 months in a row to be able to get 99 in a skill, and even people who pay in-game money so they can have a girlfriend. Runescape is huge and you don't stop finding new things every day, it's full of content and besides it's FREE… Up to a certain point since you can buy a membership and play the game 100%, since the free game is limited to certain things and certain sectors, but don't worry you can farm money from the game and buy a bond, which gives you 14 days of free membership, and if you know how to take advantage of them you will never have to spend real money to buy the membership. It's crazy what this game can be and I invite you to play it for free on steam, android, and iso. I don't know what my fellow virgins expect to be able to play this fantastic gameLoL or other MOBAs

Can we get sort of a Souls/Bloodborne general thread going? I am mostly a PC gamer, but I do own a PS4, and I just bought Bloodborne. I've been really playing it a lot, and currently I'm fighting the 'Witch of Hemwick.' Anyway, I really like the atmosphere of these games; lonely, foreboding, and depressing. Very much like the life of a wizard in the sea of normal-ness. I think my favorite Souls-like game has to be Dark Souls II. Although I actually never completed it, I had a lot of fun, and I thought that m+k was much more tolerable than it was for Dark souls I.My current setup

Back when I was a teenager I thought that I would be a PC gamer forever, because PC gaming was superior in my mind, probably had a little to do with 4chan memes too. But I am starting to change opinion, a console is looking more and more attractive now that I'm older. I don't really care about hardware anymore, it feels like things move so fast now, I don't even know what the newest hardware is and whatever it is it is way too expensive. I just wanna lounge on a couch and play games with a controller and not worry about hardware specs or compatibility or whatever, just have fun.Twitch Thread

Anyone here play ESO? I just bought the base game for $6 and it includes most of the maps seen in the elder scrolls series. It seems like a good game so far, way better than World of Warcrap at least. It's an elder scrolls game with an mmo format, and I think it's the best the series has ever been. They fixed the camera and you can play with it far behind your character, like any good mmo. What do you guys think?World of Warcraft Dragonflight

How possible do you think it would be to assemble a group of wizards together to play an mmo or similar co-op type of game? I tried years ago and many years before than and I never managed to get more than 3 or 4 people to play at one time. Do you think this is an impossible goal? I sit at my pc basically all day long, I don’t see why there aren’t any other wizards in just the same situation who could have fun playing some casual game together. Of course the games would have to be playable without voice chat but there is plenty of those I think.Nothing even compares
I played Final Fantasy II/IV when I was 5. This was the first real "story" I ever engaged with. The whole "the villain is actually your relative" trope that most people get introduced to with Star Wars? That happened to me with FFIV. Every minor plot twist blew my mind ("What? Kain is against me? What? Kain is being mind-controlled by Golbez? What? Golbez is actually my brother?!!!). But when I saw that whale, I had this cognitive dissonance finally hit me. It was just too much. I was just too overwhelmed. I had to step back and sort of 'recap' what the hell was even happening.Made a Vtuber AI game
