    I’ve certainly noticed that my patience has dropped off a cliff.

    When I was young, I spent hundreds of hours in RPGs. Then I got into roguelikes, which are like RPGs, but condensed down. Well, and now I’m microdosing this crack, because the condensed version of roguelikes is apparently puzzle games.

      A good rogue like is a super complex puzzle with randomness thrown in! Completely see the similarity.

      Only RL I went hard for was DCSS for some reason, and it’s hard to estimate how much time I put into that over the years. At least as much as other heavily played AAA or MMO type games for me. What about you?

        Ehm, well, I may or may not be moderator of a DCSS community here on Lemmy. 😅

        Yeah, I decided to write “roguelikes” up there, but 99% of my roguelike time, I’ve also spent in DCSS. It being more puzzley than many of the more recent roguelikes has certainly played a role…

          Oh snap! Haha well, musta been something I sensed in your comment. DCSS sure feels like an extra fun puzzle to me. Cheers!

      I used to love RPGs when I was younger too, but now I find them too slow. I’ve always loved roguelikes, back when I still liked RPGs, and still to this day.
