It is literally my favorite game of all time ;) great suggestion though!
I think you might have misread the post?
Well, I personally have several "types" of game that help me feel comfortable when things are tough:
- Puzzle Games: in relatively small doses, a good and somewhat challenging puzzle game can help by requiring focus, while not being stressful.
- Deckbuilders: Slay the Spire and Monster Train are similar games that require mental engagement, without being to stressful.
- Immersive Games: Games with an interesting mystery or otherwise immersive experiences. I am currently playing Killer Frequency and Hacknet, both for that reason.
The format of these posts is simple: let’s discuss a specific game or series!
I'm in quite a bad place mentally at the moment, so I wasn't really feeling like making a post. But then I thought, I could combine this in the form of a special discussion topic:
Let's discuss your favorite Uplifting Games. What helps you when your feeling down or stressed out. What game series has comforted you in harder times. Are there certain genres that work better for you in these times? Feel free to share anything that comes up and react to other comments. Let's get the conversation going!

To be honest, for graphically intensive games, there isn't that much battery life left to sacrifice :)
What are they going to do? Reduce my 2 hours of Kingdom Come Deliverance to 1 hour?
But still, I respect the hell out of their decision to only update the hardware if the performance is significantly improved.
Is it recommended to play the other Mother games before 3?
I'm waiting patiently on Astrobot to get within my feasible price range, I adored Playroom :).
While I understand where you're coming from, I believe that it distracts from a massive positive effect that the GPL has: the way it ensures collaboration. Lots of contributors to GPL software do so in the knowledge that they are working on something great together. I myself have felt discouraged to contribute to MIT licensed software, because I know that others might just take all the hard work, make something proprietary of it and give nothing back.
I see GPL as some sort of public transaction, it is indeed more limiting than MIT and offers less pure freedom in that sense. But I just love how it uses copyright not for enforcing licensing payment for some private entity, but enforces a contribution to the community as a whole. I find this quite beautiful.
I am probably in an extreme minority here, but my favorite final fantasy game is... XIII. I remember being so hyped when it came out, the graphics on my PS3 were unreal. This was at a time in my life where I was unable to finish any big game due to limited attention span, but I played the first hours of that game a lot and really enjoyed it. Since then I've tried getting into VII, IX, XII and XIV, and all of them I bounced off of. However, trying XIII again years later on PC, it just feels so comfy. I don't need to think too hard were to go or what to do, just let the game guide me and enjoy the music and spectacle.
I've noticed lately that I absolutely love linear games: half-life, portal, uncharted... are all experiences I adored because of their simplicity. Just move forward! I feel that a lot of mainstream gaming has become about side objectives, open worlds and collecting 100% of collectibles, and it is honestly exhausting. If you have any linear game recommendations, please chime in :)!

What an amazing comment, this reads just like a blog post! Will definitely check it out!!!
What a great video! I was afraid going in that it would have some "forced" new opinion on the game to be relevant, but it was actually super important and interesting.
Thanks for sharing!
My personal favorite game of all time. Such an absolutely incredible experience, both from for the gameplay / puzzle mechanics, the story, the music and themes.
Not necessarily a VN, but you might like Pony Island if you liked Doki Doki.
Digital: A Love Story is also an experience that was really powerful for me.
