    There are very few videos games I can play because of this. I love gaming, but finding one that I like is extremely challenging.

      Same, dude. Recently it’s been Skyrim for me. Started it up on a whim for the umpteenth time and have sunk 80ish hours into a save file again and have rented a PS VR to try Skyrim VR. Aside from Overwatch, that’s the only game I currently see myself playing regularly lol

      If I’m playing with my friends the excitement of making jokes and having fun is enough for me. But if I’m alone no game brings me joy if it’s not my current hyper fixation.

      Or ones that I like too much, see my 15 year addiction to WoW. So many little dopamines to find!

        If I didn’t have to do life, I’d just play wow

        I imagine myself in old age in a retirement home playing wow all day

      Feel this pretty hard. I tend to like the ones with a really good tactile feedback. Anything with tight melee combat gets a gold star from me. (Fury is probably one of my favorite games of all time)

      But once you find one that hits that hyperfixation itch, ohhhh maaaaaan.

      For me it’s gotta be the right level of challenge. I want to like the loop in Souls games but can’t get past the frustration. Hollow Knight, however, was just right and I loved it.

      Other things that work for me is the Factorio style- especially Satisfactory because when you fuck up you don’t need to tear it all down and rebuild.
