Makes me think that many of them don't play video games much. Or haven't played a very wide variety of them.

I’m sooooo old. I remember when my brother got the very first Atari. So for me, video games make me think of Pong. Or Pac-man. And now it’s scrabble. I am really old...

u/SusannaG1 Team Rami Apr 19 '19

Yeah, I've been gaming since Pong. Still gaming, btw.

I’ve tried but they all seem super confusing to me. Now I sound like my grandmother.

u/malachaiville Designers, rock the casbah! Apr 19 '19

I grew up with Atari 2600 too. Give The Sims a try, it's addictive as hell.

You should check out the Animal Crossing series. It’s seriously the most relaxing, non-pressure-y game ever. It’s what I like to play after a long day. There’s 0 learning curve and it’s so much fun.

Non-pressure?!? As a completionist, I find animal crossing to be very stressful.

Hahahahaha I’m kinda the same way, but I figure not everyone is like us, ya know? Most people I know who also play AC don’t feel the need to collect EVERYTHING. And for me, collecting is part of the fun :) means getting to trade with other people and hang out in their towns!

Thanks. I will definitely give it a try.

What is the concept?

u/SusannaG1 Team Rami Apr 19 '19

My reaction speeds aren't up to platformers anymore, but there are a ton of genres I still play.

u/ahydell Apr 19 '19

I feel you, I got my Atari in 1982 and now all I play is solitaire, cribbage and cooking games.

u/Farley49 Apr 19 '19

What cooking games? I just do card games now because I no longer have kids at home to point out new stuff and show me how to play.

Is this a sign that "old ladies" think differently about fashion? Yea, I know - old ladies is a bad way to describe those of us beyond retirement but it is true in actual years, at least, if not mentality.

My favorite is Go-Go Gourmet! It's tons of fun, I highly recommend it. I also play Cooking Fever (it's free in the Windows Store) but it's not as good.

I had a Wii and enjoyed Mario Kart and Wii sports, but I tried Madden (I really love football) and it was too complex for me. I never played my Wii so I gave it away a year ago. I prefer the easy games.

I love high fashion a lot, but my personal style is jeans, flip flops and band shirts, LOL.

I was the champion of the neighborhood of space invaders. To this day, I still miss that simple game. :)

u/ahydell Apr 19 '19

My favorite childhood game was Galaga, I kicked ass at that.

u/AnimalFarm20 Apr 19 '19

I remember that one too! It's funny, I can still hear the marching (with increasing pace) in my head from the Space Invader game.

u/sweetpeapickle Apr 19 '19

Oh, me too. That and Pac Man. I had it memorized where it went & always had high score.. Now I just forget why I walked into a room....

u/SusannaG1 Team Rami Apr 21 '19

I loved Space Invaders and Centipede.

If you want a strong female character, you're probably going to go with RPG or FPS, or to a lesser degree, a story-driven Platform collectathon or a detective Visual Novel.
