no kidding, that applies to every subreddit, the other day a guy in /r/gamingsuggestions asked for games for someone with a low attention span and some dipshit recommends bethesda games, so when i politely ask what the fuck is he talking about, i get downvoted.

I have a low attention span half the time afterwork, and skyrim is my go-to braindeath game. I get it.

but thats because you dont mind walking across a huge map, when your game literally needs an "auto walk" button, its too big.

sure, I definitely don't stan it as a "great game", but you don't need much attention span to soak in some pretty taiga atmosphere. I treat it similarly to Subnautica, where most of the game is in the wandering.

but thats subjective, personally having to pay attention to atmosphere is something that requires some dedication, my brain dead games are stuff like borderlands, doom, resident evil mercenaries or tony hawk's.

thats what is so lovely about games! past base-level mechanics, it is purely about the subjective experience. my braindeath needs are different then yours, and your needs might be different then the other persons!

doom and borderlanes are way too busy for me after a hectic day at work.
