I know we usually don’t talk video games here, but I thought discussing relaxing games might still be nice

    Powerwash Simulator is weirdly calming.

    I spent all Saturday playing it in VR. When I was done I was like “hold up. Did I just waste a Saturday… Cleaning shit? Shit that wasn’t even real?!”

    Had to go play some more to calm myself down.

      I listen to audiobooks or podcasts while playing so it doesn’t feel like I “wasted” all that time cleaning pixels.

      I work from home and it’s also great for helping me focus during meetings.

    Firewatch, the walking simulator.

    Truck simulator either the American or European version.

    It was a flash game called flOw. You’re just a microbe wandering around eating things, and you occasionally evolve, based on what you ate. I can’t find an instance that works properly with a flash emulator, but that game would actually lower my heart rate.

    I just like wandering around in Skyrim picking flowers and not doing any quests.

            I agree. To this day I have never yet joined Stormcloaks or Imperials.

            I also stopped meeting up with that lady Delphine after it was pointed out to me that it increases the frequency of dragon attacks.

              Yeah, me neither. I’m always like… you two can have your stupid war, but if anyone tries to mess with me and my 163 pieces of cheese, you’re screwed.

                How do you manage to amass that much cheese? #goals, I always eat mine. Bet yours is nicely aged.

                I do have a drawer full of jewels because I tell myself one day I will take up jewellery making. That will get my life on track.

                  I haven’t played it in a while but, it was aged for sure but I carried it with me in every cave and bandit camp… so I’m not sure about nicely part.
                  After a while, I would sometimes set random goals for myself like just regenerate life by resting in a bed, so I would end up with a lot of food.

                  Ah yes, making jewelry was a good source of income during a game. At one point I had so much gold and rings that I didn’t know what to do with them so I started putting them in random people’s pockets.

    I’m in the Animal Crossing boat. It’s the right kind of cozy.

    A Short Hike and A Little To The Left were also pretty chill.

      Oh god, factorio drives me so crazy. I lose all sense of time from the pressure and get sucked in. It really is like crack.

    I’ve never been into gaming, mostly due to this stress thing. The suggestions in this thread makes me want to try taking it up.

    I have a jailbroken PS3 that was handed down to me few years ago and is lying unused. Can someone suggest me a simple tutorial on how to find and load games onto it. I would prefer to try the games out before I buy them. High seas are familiar to me, but what exactly am I looking for?

    Thank you.

    Stardew valley.

    As long as you don’t try to min/max. I also make the days longer.

    It’s just got such an amazing vibe. One of my favourites.

        I installed a mod to slow down time. Still haven’t played it because of the concept of having to follow the calendar.
