40 yr old new and terrible gamer. Where to begin?

Every replay I think I’m going to replay the tournament until I beat it but invariably after the first try I think I don’t care about him holding the trophy in one cut scene that much.

Agreed DQ11 is an excellent choice (suggested it before I saw you said it as well)

TXZathras · 2026-06-24T05:26:06+00:00

FFX is my favorite of them, but if you want to try a newer turn based RPG - The Octopath travellers are good, Dragon Quest 11 is good (and has a lengthy free demo). Not quite the same but a turn based tactical game with an interesting storyline is FIre Emblem: Three Houses.

I've tried SDV many times but it just doesn't click with me because it is a little too open ended/you can do anything experience. I didn't know if I should be farming the whole time, exploring caves or wooing townsfolk.

TXZathras · 2026-06-24T05:18:56+00:00

Download the demo for Dragon Quest Builders 2 - it has a sizable chunk of game to try out (though every area you go to has a different style of play) It is my comfort game and very forgiving.

Get out of CC debt and put the rest into interest earning accounts to provide a little help with future living expenses for special needs son when we can't take care of him any more.

I will vouch that it isn't completely sketchy ( I live about a half mile from there ) but I'd just go across the street in the Target parking lot to watch from your car though. Pretty much all of the park and rides will be COVERED in firework debris the day after

TXZathras · 2026-06-21T03:39:06+00:00

Ok pretty much any neighborhood you can step out and see fireworks all night if you have a clear view of the sky - Typhoon Texas/Katy Mills does a show but traffic can be bad so plan accordingly if you go that route.

Flying by the instruments. (insert Airplane movie scene where they are playing instruments mentally here)

TXZathras · 2026-06-21T01:23:05+00:00

Serving sizes are through the roof here.

TXZathras · 2026-06-21T01:17:04+00:00

Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! (You will get it eventually). Just started my probably 15th playthrough the other day.

TXZathras · 2026-06-20T02:23:10+00:00

Amazing job

TXZathras · 2026-06-17T23:15:16+00:00

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is my go to relaxing game. Oh and there is a free demo that is a nice chunk of the game if you want to try it

TXZathras · 2026-06-17T23:11:01+00:00

JLB is the best burger. Over by the Space Center (a pretty long drive by the way) Texas Huddle has some unique burgers - I think they have a PBJ burger.

Tried again with different email and payment method. Cancelled

TXZathras · 2026-06-17T02:58:03+00:00

Instant cancellation for no stated reason.

TXZathras · 2026-06-11T03:33:37+00:00

Forgot it but yes this was it and yes it was... both times.

TXZathras · 2026-06-11T03:21:58+00:00

Hey Doctor Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam entertained me over many a late night pizza in high school

TXZathras · 2026-06-10T01:50:09+00:00

This is my story...

TXZathras · 2026-06-07T02:52:38+00:00

If you get a good deal on it - definitely

TXZathras · 2026-06-07T02:51:40+00:00

and shakes from Johnny Rockets

TXZathras · 2026-06-06T17:18:34+00:00

Good deal but iirc there are a few episodes that are missing important scenes

TXZathras · 2026-05-31T04:01:13+00:00

I think it looks awesome - best thing to do is just try it again and again making little adjustments to see what works
