 somehow, on average, Star Wars Battlefront 2 is the best game to play with old
 friends
 
 as long as you stick together, of course
 
 and maybe invite all of your other bros
 
 after a couple optional initial exploratory 2pvE matches [co-op]
 
 especially if you play on "normal" difficulty
 
 [I wonder if anyone's ever studied whether or not people born at similar parts
 of the year have anything in common?] [doh that's astrology]

 @user-192 
 
 ah yes like when I used to go to the cantina with my ex-girlfriend in Star
 Wars the Old Republic and bag a stranger to Electronic Role Play with back at
 my ship after a few drinks and some light four play where the four of us would
 play Electronic RolePlay together in the privacy of my ship on the soft plush
 couches or maybe in the padded gym or maybe in the pilots seat so we could
 look at the stars while playing (just the four of us)

 when I play Battlefront II I like to give the enemies heroes and vehicles and
 my team more infantry
 
 3 rebels versus 50 ties works great for corellian corvettes, but they never
 let us use bigger ships : (

 what if I use equal signs instead of dashes, so prevent people from assuming
 they're duplicates?
 
 hmm okay.
 
 right so anyway the star realms balancing tradeoff between combat and authority
 is measured against the duration of a hand (does it fit balanced between other
 cards of it's playcost) instead of balancing it for the duration of the game
 (how long does the player want the game to go on for) one of which is just
 inverse combat damage / healing, and the other of which is an enablement of
 different strategems.
 
 put this in symbeline-gen-realms please

 @user-110 Exactly! I play games to practice strategy and empathy, not to stand
 triumphant over a virtual foe. Why should I care for the lessons of others
 when mine so often go unlearnt?

 had a dream that we gamified all work and then put them into one single
 mega-game so whenever you wanted you could work on an arbitrary project and it
 would spin up a new game and take your inputs and use them to accomplish
 whatever was happening

 instead of controlling a recon-droid in Star Wars Battlefront II, you should
 be assigned control of a random amount of drones nearby, to be used until you
 went back to character control
 
 I think a swarm is more fun to play as than a single little scout vehicle.
 
 in a game that doesn't really need scouting to find your foe - it's easy!
 they're that way

 in some games, like Star Wars Battlefront II, you unlock certain "badges"
 during gameplay. Like, "scored 10 points in one life" or "healed for 200hp" or
 whatever.
 
 these "badges" have names, like "guardian" or "hope"
 
 I wonder if you attached a player's history of medals earned to an LLM
 somehow, perhaps by feeding an array of them in as input, what would happen
 then? perhaps a narrative could be

 most people have no conception of what ancient battles look like until they
 play a Total War game and see one from above
 
 (total war games also aren't that accurate tbh, there's a lot more
 standing-near-each-other-and-throwing-rocks involved)

 if you don't have a lot of time but still like games, like for example a new
 parent or if you're focused on your career or always traveling, I recommend
 the game
 
 Star Realms
 
 in the digital version, which can be played on a phone or computer, has a mode
 called "48 hour turns" where each of your moves has time to think for two
 entire days. Most of the time you won't need two days, but it gives time to
 work on other things.
 
 for people who enjoy this mode, it is not uncommon to have 3-5 games running
 at once. When they have time, they can play as many as they can, and as long
 as they're keeping up with it there's very little chance they'll lose time.
 
 kinda like words with friends, except space strategy.

 @user-1520 
 
 After a certain point you realize there's little to be done with that design
 space that Star Fox didn't do better!
 
 Also I think people tend to associate them with arcade "gun games" which are
 tbh more fun than clicking with a mouse or whatever since they're tactile and
 physical.

 I wish games started with everything unlocked and if you wanted you could
 "start a journey" or whatever and lock everything but a few options... then
 slowly as you play the game you unlock new things to do until eventually
 you're back where you started.
 
 Essentially... starting at level 100 and having the option to prestige right
 away. If you want the experience. While playing a game. That you have every
 right to enjoy as you will.

 @user-30 Well maybe that's okay :)
 Dark Souls is a hell of a game that has stood the test of time. It's a classic
 now. It's okay if you're not much of a gamer.

 It's so sad how some of the best games ever made get glossed over because the
 fun you remember is the friendship and fantasy you felt rather than the game
 itself
 
 time marches forward, and culture changes to no longer fit the old tools quite
 right. Plus they look like PS1 graphics ewwwwww look at those muddy textures
 and blocky bits arranged into triangles and meshes! how dorky, how retro

 bash script that automatically streams music to your computer and plays it on
 audio devices
 
 and also sets up a screen-streaming system where it displays the screens of
 everyone listening on like, a "security camera panel at the mall" type of deal
 so they can customize the music being streamed for each individual person
 playing video games or whatever.
 
 like "hello computer, all is well. can you tell me what narrative this person
 is going through and then can you recommend a song for that particular purpose"
 
 and then nobody uses it because it's recommendations suck and are always
 picking fleur de lis or whatever because it's a "good song" for listening to
 or whatever.

 plus these games. if there's more than one version, give them a random one.
 NOT the first, NOT the last, not one that was made around when they were born,
 but a random one.
 
 nerf can be any friendly intense action game, but I like Nerf Arena Blast
 
 "hey man what's your nerf? I got Celeste"
 
 "ooooo I heard that means you're gonna be friends with a trans girl 'cause
 she's always gonna wanna play it"
 
 "what no way"
 
 "hell yeah"
 
 "... anyway I got Towerfall"
 
 "what does that mean"
 
 "I don't think it means anything"
 
 "... weird"

 the two lego games are just really cool. you can add your own games if you
 want but replace one instead of adding to the list. that way they're each
 sorta unique.
trackmania, the sims, pinball, nerf, lego-rock-raiders, and lego-racers

 portable linux with buttons, great for pick-up-games or communication, can
 throw several in them in a backpack if you want clustered cooperation, they
 work as radios (if the signal reaches) and can transmit text (if you use a
