    Boring after 20 minutes type games?

    Its a passive horde survival game.

    The game play is rotating the stick in a rough circle so you keep moving that you can do without even having to look at the screen while you hoover up tiny pellets that make you stronger to survive more blobs of color on the screen.
    Have any of you ever tried risk of rain or heck even cuphead? You can have rapid gameplay and a point to it. This feels like the modern bathroom book as a game. Fun but just enough to be over when you have finished something more worth your time.

      Sometimes that’s just what you need. Vampire survivors is my go to for when I burnt out from work and don’t want to think anymore but need something to do.

        Oh for sure. I actually discovered vampire survivors after finding its mobile clones and liked them all but for 20 minutes at a time.

        Once I tried to play the OG I just couldn’t help but think of it as a passive game though and it lost my interest for long term play sessions. I think it’s an import point that they are passive.

          Yeah it’s not something you play all day. I usually pick one or two of the challenges to do and by then I’m either de-stressed enough to do something else or I just go to bed.

            Nice, yeah I get it. I keep struggling to play my much slower games when it’s that late part of night and have decided to beat all my Roguelikes I have, but I can’t help but admit I’d rather be playing Katamari Damacy.
            Now that’s how I destress. But that’s very passive.

        No I didn’t request anyone else to stop having fun I am just pointing out my interpretation of the games and the name I use for them.

        Why does my opinion on it make you think that I am demanding you stop playing unless you care what others think about your own free time?
        I just like it differently and am voicing that. Your take as an attack means you feel a need to defend it preemptively, and over assume I care about you playing it.

          If you don’t understand how that paragraph sounds judgmental then I don’t know how to help you.

            Oh sure. It’s a pointed jab at asking if people have tried games I enjoy while being a little condescending of a genre I find to be best at filling short moments.

            It just doesn’t match that comic cause that’s not demanding people stop enjoying something they like.

            If people can’t separate criticism of a genre as not criticism of them I can’t help them either.

              So you came into a thread talking about the classification of a genre with admittedly the sole purpose of making condescending jabs at people who enjoy said genre, (and notibly not contributing meaningfully to the actual discussion at hand) but you did NOT tell people to stop having fun.
              You were just telling them they were having fun wrong.

              Glad we cleared that up.

                No. Pretty much exactly not that and I see you also suffer the issue.

                None of that is correct. And directly against what I just said.

                And I contributed a name.
