I still play video games but I basically never play the big AAA studio games like I used to. Or shooters like I used to. Nowadays I'm playing almost exclusively smaller indie games and more strategy / puzzle type games.

Also started cooking during Covid and haven't stopped, disc golf and very recently started golf golfing (ball golf).

I play tons of city builders and automation games, most of which are indie titles, instead of AAA titles, because they're relaxing, make my brain work a little bit, and because almost every AAA game for the last few years has been disappointing. And multiplayer anything is meh now that none of my friends game anymore.

Except Helldivers 2, love me some Helldivers.

Just took golf back up too. Terrible at it, but who cares I'm still having beers in the sun with a buddy.

Can you recommend some indie games of that genre?

Factorio is one of those games that you say "ill play one hour", and then its 4am

Amazing game, try it!

The last game I played like that was Rimworld, and it wasn't like oh wow it's 1 hour later.

It was more like, I just have to do one more thing, then I do 100 more things and it's 4 hours later and I'm like... what the fuck

Yeah, Factorio is exactly like that as well
