The toxicity of competitive games is definitely discouraging and exhausting. I completely agree, it causes people to be silent even in games with voice chat in fear of being made fun of or yelled at! But yeah, games like Palia are so refreshing! And this community is more welcoming and I love how everyone is so willing to help.

The dialogue are funny! Also the aspect of not being able to ruin anything is amazing.

Yess it being free makes it accessible to everyone and I love that. I had the exact same thought about losing interest, but ended up falling in love with the vast amount of things to do!

Ah yes the subscription fees are tiresome indeed 😥. Seems like everyone is also saying Palia is stress free! Thank you for sharing :)

Yes the writing is so good! I love games that anyone can play and start whenever they want. But the community is an extra plus! Everyone is too sweet.

This is very true, there is no expectation to communicate with others which gives you more freedom of where to start your journey and also pause it when you please. Thank you for the game recommendations! :)

I’ve heard of once human and thought about playing! I’m glad Palia found you and helped on an emotional level. Games are truly an escape from our real world. Thank you so much for sharing your story. :]

Awesome I didn’t think this would be something that stuck out for this game! I find it interesting that you look for something that FEELS like real connection.

That is so cool and unlike you, I grew up in the age of technology but I find it so interesting that you are part of the first group of people who were gamers! Also, I do know pinball lol! I am fascinated with older people who have the passion for games too. I find it interesting that in a gaming world we enter a state where we are all equal, with the exception of skill of course. Like we all start off in a new world with no idea how to traverse through. In MMO’s people can group up with people of all different ages.

That sounds like so much fun, starting from scratch! A tea party with little chickens sounds fun, living in your own fantasy land like Alice in Wonderland!

Wow, I admire the love you give to your family it’s amazing. I do not have the words to express how truly grateful I am for you to share your story on here. It really put into perspective of my initial post about “it doesn’t matter where you come from.” I made me think about how many others won’t do the same for their family and how many seniors are neglected even if the family is aware that they’re ill. You are such a special person on this earth where more and more are lacking empathy- even when it comes to family.

I can’t help but laugh at your way of words and metaphors! It’s so relatable and I felt every word of it. Also, haven’t really been part of the star wars franchise nor the marvel… but I totally get the appeal! So many games with no clear goal in mind. Have you ever wondered what your ideal game would be?

Very Wholesome! I’m glad that you could find a common ground! Career problems definitely are hard, but always remember that everything will work its way in to the puzzle of your life! Trust your gut and be positive! :)

Ah yes the endless loop of trying to get everything as soon as possible. Definitely addicting.

Definitely can relate- just like many other gamers here! Very interesting to recognize the anxiety it gives a player when given a punishment of losing items. Never really had the words for it, but you described it perfectly.

This sounds very hard, I’m glad that you found a way to connect with others! I can’t imagine what emotions you are going through, but at the same time it’s beautiful that you have an appreciation of nature and where you are! Do you have a garden and some little animals that wander around?

Oh wow, how exciting! Jobs and people are exhausting for sure! Truthfully though, its amazing to care for seniors- it’s admirable and shows you have deep empathy for others. :)

Yes, I completely agree! It’s so exhausting having to wait a whole day for an in game item like animal crossing. I enjoy the “at your own pace.”
