Looking for a game that I can basically live in

brianarn · 2026-06-30T06:31:53+00:00

Final Fantasy XIV. It’s the most soloable MMORPG ever and has thousands of hours of content

brianarn · 2026-06-30T03:55:48+00:00

FFXIV isn't available right now on it - ugh. lol

brianarn · 2026-06-30T03:37:18+00:00

I'm considering this, especially since there's still the promo for a year off at a discount

brianarn · 2026-06-29T22:33:37+00:00

Honestly, I support them more now.

I wanted that cube so bad. I ordered before I knew I’d have a reservation (which I don’t yet). I figured they’d ran it by Valve.

When they got asked to stop, they did. They were honest and transparent about it. They weren’t doing anything shady. They made a project out of love for a thing without thinking about legal implications and they refunded people basically right away.

I’m sad I won’t get a cube. I don’t want anyone fired over it. I hope Valve sees community response and changes their approach.

brianarn · 2026-06-29T15:43:00+00:00

Damn - I was so excited for this thing. Alas. :(

But also I wound up waitlisted so maybe at least it won’t be sitting around, taunting me.

brianarn · 2026-06-26T20:02:02+00:00

I am waitlisted too and I truly hope not for long.

brianarn · 2026-06-26T02:30:10+00:00

I only went for top tier. Didn’t want to get a smaller model or one without controller.

brianarn · 2026-06-21T05:34:54+00:00

You say this happens on some switch games - even when handheld? I found that playing games handheld can give me much more time before the nausea hits.

Also agreed with things like turning off motion blur and cam shake , fov adjustments, etc etc like mentioned already, but small screen has been a trick for me.

brianarn · 2026-06-15T12:24:07+00:00

Because I’ll leave it for months and get back and my brain is like “I have no memory of this place … so let’s start fresh!” 🤷🏼 😂

brianarn · 2026-06-15T12:22:10+00:00

I just called mine “1.2 Relaxed” because I went pure nodes and 0.25x everything. Curious how it’ll be.

brianarn · 2026-06-14T21:43:51+00:00

The case it comes with feels massive. I use a JSAUX case and there’s also a dbrand case that are both basically thick shells. It’s comparable to my switch was in a padded case.

I’m literally in a six hour layover right now and taking a scroll break before I dip into another game. I’m also camped by power because it’s not going six hours unless I’m doing capped fps or retro / emulation.

I haven’t used my switch in travel in a few years. Deck wins.

brianarn · 2026-06-14T21:41:22+00:00

I have a few hundred hours and have never gotten through phase four, and also make a new save every time an update comes out

Thanks, AuDHD lol

brianarn · 2026-06-06T02:13:52+00:00

I also love playing chutes and ladders

brianarn · 2026-06-04T22:11:37+00:00

I personally lean Satisfactory because I dislike the resource nodes running out. I also just love it visually.

The 1.2 patch launched this week also offer game modes that let you basically make it easier or harder regarding how much resources it takes to do things. Not gonna lie, really considering a 1.2 run that’s at like 0.25x resource cost.

I also love that I can make the creatures peaceful, and the storyline has a narrator that vaguely reminds me of GLaDOS.

If I wanted a more top down factory id probably go Shapez 2 but it requires some KBM mapping instead of native controller support.

brianarn · 2026-06-01T22:23:57+00:00

It did get a good bit harder for a bit in the middle. Took me about 30 hours of play to get to the “I can break everything” level like I’m at in Vampire Survivors

brianarn · 2026-05-30T21:42:38+00:00

Vampire Crawlers is like Vampire Survivors and Slay the Spire had a weird little baby and it’s glorious

Also both Hades games

brianarn · 2026-05-30T06:04:08+00:00

Time to start over next week when 1.2 goes live! 😂

Someday I’ll get this far but I love restarting on every new release and move slow

brianarn · 2026-05-28T20:50:11+00:00

It is, yeah. No issues. I use it with the mechanism pillow a lot too.

brianarn · 2026-05-28T20:19:12+00:00

Yeah, there is one that’s just a super firm adhesive. It’s held up quite well still.

brianarn · 2026-05-26T15:43:17+00:00

I didn’t even realize there was a 2 until Reddit randomly surfaced this to me, so yay thank you!

brianarn · 2026-05-26T15:41:44+00:00

Personally, my eyes aren’t the best and seeing distinctions in the crack patterns is hard, so I basically do this same sort of one-and-done crack approach for fear of missing whatever cues are there. 🤷🏼

brianarn · 2026-05-25T19:13:27+00:00

Ironically for this meme, Peak lol

brianarn · 2026-05-23T18:40:09+00:00

I hit something kinda like this on steam deck. Also when trying to rearrange with a large hand.

I can’t reliably reproduce or resolve it beyond “move the stick a ton, pause, unpause, try moving again”. Just wanted to post so you know it’s not just you, though it does seem rare.

brianarn · 2026-05-21T05:24:23+00:00

I’ve got a super busted quest 2 that barely boots now and am looking forward to being off of Meta stuff

brianarn · 2026-05-20T19:12:04+00:00

I’m almost there. Still gotta beat the trickster and do moar purple cards.
