Shenanigans are what I like. Like crab raids in legacy RUST. Player models were allowed to intersect inside starter shacks. So the idea was you’d gather as many people as possible, travel to someone else’s camp under cover of darkness and all pile into a single shack.
When someone from the camp comes out in the morning to check out the new bambi player. Everyone piles out and attack the camp.
Games like Rust, DayZ, and ARMA III are perfect for shenanigans.
I used to know a programmer in IT who would drink many, very large mugs of espresso all day because he was up at night conducting asymmetric warfare in, I think, DayZ. Did it used to have different name?
Is that the one where you can rebuild engines… or some crazy complex stuff like that?
Naw, DayZ is a post apocalyptic survival sim.
ARMA III could plausibly have stuff somewhat like that though. And Rust already does.
You can craft acoustic guitars and paint signs and build guns out of refined metal you get from ore and that kind of stuff.
Okay. I should clarify. My teenage nephew is extraordinarily lazy – as in, he doesn’t take off his clothes for days because he “doesn’t feel like it”, doesn’t shower for a month at a time because “getting wet sucks”, and won’t pick up the phone if it’s ringing because “who cares, I don’t have to talk to people if I don’t want to.” His main hobby is playing video games – he’s quite good at them. Rather than sit and talk with strangers for hours with a Let’s Play video running, I’ve tried to motivate him to do the thing he actually loves doing most – playing the game he’s watching – but he’ll say “I don’t wanna, I just want to sit here.”
I totally get the appeal of a Let’s Play video and have watched them myself for games I’d like to see someone explore, but trying to motivate the world’s laziest teen to use his brain for a few minutes is a chore.
Yahtzee is great! I love how he reviews the games.
Power tool disassembly videos.
I’m neither an engineer nor a big user of power tools, but I’ve watched a number of AvE’s dissections of various power tools, featuring opinionated commentary on the quality of the components.
turns out SGU ambient is a genre I had no idea existed.
I can still mentally see the one I watched this one time. Nope. You do not want.
I prefer tight close games where nothing happens over fast-paced blowouts every time. This pertains to baseball, but also games in general. I can see how it gets boring though. I like baseball, but I teens to like things other people find boring.
I love going to a baseball game. Growing up in Alabama it was all about football. I never could get into it. So I was surprised as an adult to discover a baseball game is so wonderful. I love the pace of it. My first team was the Braves back when it was no such a strong pitching game. Agree. Not as fun to watch the no hitters as it is to see one where there is some action. But it’s super great to be at the ball park.
