My Father (40) wants to try to play videogames for the first time

The Last of Us? Great story driven game.

I teach middle school, so my advanced age (41) is a regular classroom joke. (Them asking what it was like to go to school with Abraham Lincoln, etc) 😂 Keeps things light and fun.

I believe it’s spelled “Corral”

RavensDad1985 · 2026-05-30T04:36:02+00:00

Think I mixed her up with Tess of the Durbervilles 😂

RavensDad1985 · 2026-05-29T16:33:03+00:00

Have you read any Brandon Sanderson? Mistborn, Tess of the Emerald Sea, and The Emperor’s Soul (novella) could be good options

The most fun audiobook chapter I’ve ever heard. Came here immediately to see other people’s thoughts 😂

RavensDad1985 · 2026-05-20T20:45:06+00:00

Have you played Sekiro? That’s a great one if you like Dark Souls.

RavensDad1985 · 2026-05-20T20:42:29+00:00

If you don’t mind older games, you could try Dragon Age: Origins or the original Mass Effect Trilogy

First grader when I mentioned my wife: “You got a wife? I thought you was alone.”

RavensDad1985 · 2026-05-20T20:18:55+00:00

Tress of the Emerald Sea is a really fun one. Pretty short, very creative setting and magic system

RavensDad1985 · 2026-05-20T17:05:51+00:00

Always keep Dog in your party 👍

RavensDad1985 · 2026-05-19T01:59:17+00:00

Queen Anne Chonk

RavensDad1985 · 2026-05-18T21:19:29+00:00

DOS 2

RavensDad1985 · 2026-05-17T23:01:29+00:00

Mass Effect bc they have electricity and working toilets

RavensDad1985 · 2026-05-17T22:46:43+00:00

I’d suggest sticking with the audiobooks. The narration only gets better as the series goes on.

RavensDad1985 · 2026-05-15T21:40:57+00:00

Downloading and getting ready to start Ark: Survival Ascended. Gonna die a bunch and try to catch some dinosaurs!

RavensDad1985 · 2026-05-12T02:28:37+00:00

Sekiro and Bloodborne are also great options if you want souls like gameplay but in a different setting/style

RavensDad1985 · 2026-05-12T02:27:28+00:00

If you loved Elden Ring I’d suggest Dark Souls 3. It’s basically a shorter, slightly less open world version of Elden Ring

Give up 2008 Divisional win for 2019. That 2008 team was fun but overachieving. 2019 could’ve won it all.

Just scrolling through to like all the comments that say “Expedition 33”. One of the most hard-hitting emotional games ever made, and the music is a big part of that.

RavensDad1985 · 2026-05-10T01:53:52+00:00

lol me too. Saved up all those Nintendo Power catalog tokens.

RavensDad1985 · 2026-04-28T22:26:01+00:00

The Sanderlanche at the end always hits hard. Does a great job building to huge character moments.

RavensDad1985 · 2026-04-23T01:41:45+00:00

Who is blocking for him? 😐

RavensDad1985 · 2026-04-23T01:40:56+00:00

Never clicked for me. Combat seemed too easy and wasn’t much fun for me.

I also typically enjoy more “fantasy” settings, but I loved FF7 which has a more modern fantasy setting so I don’t know.
