VP, IGN. I post about: video games, pinball, board games, fatherhood, science, Lego, and shenanigans.
I mean, I have a real soft spot for the game. If you like oldschool PVE // zone questing // tab targeting // 'its about the journey not the destination' MMOs, LOTRO is great. The UI is sadly very dated. The gameplay feels less dated.
It's free to try so try! Make a Hobbit and run around the shire.

12 years ago when we first got pregnant we made a video game-themed pregnancy announcement and shared it with the world via Facebook and my Grandma didn't get it :(

I’ve been saying for YEARS that not all screen time is equal. Playing Minecraft with friends? Watching TikToks unmoderated? Watching a family friendly YouTuber? Watching a YouTuber playing genshin while explaining why women shouldn’t be allowed to vote?
Turns out it’s all just screen time.

they're good for $3.
Casual sim/strategy games. Fun pixel art. Fun music. These are ports of mobile phone games. Some from 10+ years ago, some more recently.
They're grindy, addictive time-killers in a good way.

I've played some Satisfactory and felt it didn't stack up favorably to Factorio.
I did play quite a bit of Timberborn this weekend and quite like it so far.

Please note this is not to be confused with "just a weird little guy, running around" games, which I also like, but not as my #1 fave.
