I know this is satire but I would definitely play a mode like this. I may only be 20 but a 10 hour shift plus nearly 2 hour train rides kill me
I mean many games usually have an easy mode.
I frequently play on it.
yeah I'm glad I've kind of let myself play in easy, I enjoy games much more that way
I'm too young to die
IDDQD
I only realized it was satire after I opened the thread and saw it was HardDrive, not only did it feel something a game would do (probably a New Blood game) but I was also genuinely stoked
Indeed! I wish they would standardize this mode and add it as an icon to the back of the game box.
Edit: Also I'm old enough that I think of games as coming in boxes, still...
It's not just about difficulty though; some games are designed to be really long. Looking at some of the RPGs out there, like Divinity: Original Sin.
Play a lot of jrpgs, I understand that too well. My playthrough of persona 5 has been going since the beginning of this year and I'm hardly halfway through the story
The Steam Deck might be just the thing for your commute.
I actually have both a deck and a switch. I'm just too tired before and after work to play on my commute.
I feel you.
I have found that searching for game reviews with the term "Cozy Gamer" finds games that fit into that after work funk, for me, when I have that time.
Great tip, first thing I found was this which is definitely right up my street
That sounds rough... hang in there man
Totally agreed!
Dear god. I burned out around your age with a similar work schedule. Less commute but more work hours. Took me years to recover.
If your situation allows, please find yourself a better work and commute setup. Your boss isn't going to care that you're dying inside, especially when they've grown accustomed to everything you get done running yourself ragged. If you can, start doing less at work so you have energy to search for other jobs.
In some workplaces, it's actually better to let things slip so your boss can push for more manpower.
My situation is lucky not the worst. I am currently going to a technical school for medical work. And when I actually am at the place I work in it's hardly "working" much at all, a good number of days I literally can watch an movie between cases.
Honestly most of the feeling dead is the commute, which unfortunately I don't have many options for, can't drive plus no other job I find offers nearly as much as I make (coupled with the fact that this quite literally the only job of its kind in the area).
I also get along very well with my team (literally no drama) and management is pretty nonexistent and we all take a firm stand when they do.
I very much appreciate the concern however
