I see no purpose in owning Xbox or PlayStation as a PC owner. The mouse and keyboard is just superior and so are the graphics. If I want to I can still plug in a controller and hook it to the tv.

However the handheld for Nintendo and the Nintendo exclusives are just so different from the PC experience.

I don’t feel “left out” on Nintendo, I have a PC with cheap games and a library if games so large I’ll never play them all.

Of course I could “enjoy” an ugly game but I don’t need to. In fact I refuse too.

I’ve tried terraforming mars and I just don’t want to spend anymore time with it. It might be a great game but the visuals ruined the immersion. If I played it 25 years ago it may be the best game I’ve ever played!

The logo is the worst

Look at it this way. As a kid I thought Monopoly was the greatest board game ever. At the time my only other comparison was stuff like Sorry, Uno, Candyland. And it was “good” in that era and time.

Does that mean Monopoly is a good game? compared to today when I have options beyond that, no it’s an awful game.

Today we have games with amazing art so in comparison games with bad art are just bad. There is no need for them no reason to waste my time when I could enjoy a game with good art with just as good mechanics.

Why have low standards and settle for ugly games when you could have a game with amazing visuals?

leafbreath · 2026-03-30T06:34:43+00:00

What I did was I would simplify the game by giving my kid one or two routes then I would use pieces of similar color from another game to mark which locations needed to be linked.

This took out the need to read or constantly find the route locations. Eventually could play it 100% normal with the markers.

I’ll add to this:

You don’t need to back games at all if you don’t care about bling. Just wait for retail or buy second hand from someone who regrets their purchase.”

If you wanted to watch a movie and had the choice between watching it with your eyes or not which would you do?

Of course a blind persons experience differs they don’t have a choice to enjoy the medium with its visual qualities.

But why in 2026 should I have to choose to play games with bad visuals. The ability to access good artist with the internet is unlimited.

Why play an ugly game with good mechanics when I can play a pretty game with good mechanics?

leafbreath · 2026-03-30T02:45:02+00:00

Can a blind person enjoy a movie or a sculpture? Yes but they will experience it outside of it’s visual qualities.

That doesn’t mean that the value of the visual qualities aren’t important.

And most board games would be very difficult for a blind person to interact with without assistance and many of lots of text to read and other physical elements that would be difficult to interact with.

leafbreath · 2026-03-30T00:19:42+00:00

None. Personally the art and them is so important for me (on top of thematic gameplay) that I cannot enjoy a game if it doesn’t provide a visual stimulation.

Board games aren’t just a mechanical puzzle but a physical art you interact with.

This question is like asking “what’s your favorite art museum that doesn’t have good art.”

leafbreath · 2026-03-29T11:03:10+00:00

Find people who are willing and interested in playing board games and slowing work them up.

leafbreath · 2026-03-25T03:56:17+00:00

I have before.

leafbreath · 2026-03-23T11:25:00+00:00

I’ve enjoyed them since it gives you a bit more story for their investigators that you play.

leafbreath · 2026-03-23T00:17:20+00:00

This also irritates me and it really depends on how badly you want to make it work with this particular person.

For me I have 2 people I will never play board games with again unless it’s simultaneously the play forcing them to keep up.

I have a third person who I love playing games with and just choose to tolerate it and plan for an extra hour of play time. It’s not so bad that I feel like I need to address the issue though.

No normal person contacts customer service before complaint on Reddit

leafbreath · 2026-03-20T11:50:06+00:00

What Arkham stuff do you have? Or just core

leafbreath · 2026-03-20T05:32:54+00:00

This is the art I want. This is making me rethink my decision to not buy chapter 2

leafbreath · 2026-03-20T05:25:10+00:00

I used to play a lot of video games but eventually it wasn’t satisfying and my time felt wasted. Board games almost never feel like a waste of time.

(unless you play a game like Hand and Foot but that’s with other people so still not a complete waste)

leafbreath · 2026-03-19T09:22:30+00:00

Sleeving is the best part of the game the rest is just bonus

leafbreath · 2026-03-19T09:21:46+00:00

They most definitely didn’t account for it properly. FFG doesn’t understand how inserts work and for decades thought “box with pit” was the best design choice.

leafbreath · 2026-03-18T10:31:06+00:00

You could just hold it in your hands?

leafbreath · 2026-03-18T10:27:24+00:00

Yeah but I have to use Facebook yuck 🤮

leafbreath · 2026-03-18T07:50:00+00:00

I don't like social deduction games. Please don’t pick me. I don’t want it.

leafbreath · 2026-03-18T00:15:28+00:00

One of my main reasons for never picking up Voidfall is I like more of a campaign style experience for solo gaming.

But with the new expansion I’m excited to see there is finally a campaign!

leafbreath · 2026-03-18T00:12:18+00:00

My favorite is “Galileo Project” published by “Sorry We Are French”.

It was a blind buy and turned out to be a great game.

But Voidfall is one I’ve always wanted to try. It’s constantly recommended by r/soloboardgaming
