    Games For The Aged

    It depends on what she likes, of course, but maybe games like Solitaire or Sudoku? Or Two Dots? There's this other game I have called Pocket Frogs, where you collect & breed & hatch different types of frogs. I like it because it's kind of calm and peaceful (especially the sound effects). But not...

    Which Is Convenient For Gaming

    Yeah, it really just depends on your own preference? You might try using a USB controller and see if you can do better with it. But really, just play however you like, and however you enjoy playing! That's the most important thing!

    What Are Those Games That Can Boost Intelligence

    Yeah, that makes sense. It's just like studying -- you have to actually spend time learning/studying the actual things you want to learn, or else it's not really helping. Doing puzzles might help you get better at doing puzzles, but it's not really going to help you with other things. And trivia...

    Educational Games You Played

    The very first computer games I played as a kid were Reader Rabbit and Math Rabbit XD I don't know if it counts as an educational game, but did anyone else play The Island of Dr. Quandry? It had a bunch of puzzles and brain teasers. I downloaded it recently & thought that I could breeze through...

    What video game console did you spend most of your childhood with?

    The first console my family owned was an Atari 7800, but the one I remember playing the most was Sega Genesis. My mom didn't like spending a lot of money on games, so we only had Sonic 2, which game with the console, and another Sonic game that my sister's friend gave us. When you only have one...

    Name the game you've replayed years and years..

    Probably Tetris. I haven't played it TOO recently, but it's such a classic that it's fun to play anytime.

    What Console You Own Are You Surprised Is Still Working?

    The oldest one I've used in the past couple years is a 1st gen Nintendo DS. I have a 3DS but I'll still sometimes play the old DS for some reason. I also have a Gameboy from the 90s, but I'm not sure if it still works. It worked the last time I tried it, but that was probably 5 or so years ago...

    What Are Those Games That Can Boost Intelligence

    Oh, I had totally forgotten about Professor Layton! I've only ever played one game from the series, and I remember it was a lot of fun. Some of the puzzles were SO hard though, I had to look up answers online :emoji_sweat_smile:

    Stardew Valley goals?

    There really is SO much to do in this game! It can sometimes feel a little overwhelming, lol. Have you decided who to marry yet? I can't seem to decide XD I liked Penny and Maru at first, but Haley has really grown on me too.

    Are You Losing Interest Too?

    I think it's pretty common for interest to increase and decrease over time. Even with other hobbies -- sometimes I'm really into reading, or movies, or jigsaw puzzles. Lately I'm in a "low" period for gaming AND reading. I guess my #1 thing right now is listening to podcasts? lol. I don't think...

    Your Thoughts On The Rise Of Facebook Games?

    It makes total sense for them to have games on FB, since sooooo many people use it. I've played some mobile games that require linking your FB account, but I've never played any strictly 'Facebook games'. I really, really hate it when my FB friends don't know how to turn notifications off & my...

    What Are Those Games That Can Boost Intelligence

    I played Brain Age for Nintendo DS for a while because it was supposed to help "train" your brain. But I don't know if there's any scientific basis for it. I feel like any game that uses your brain can help, whether it's puzzles or logic or problem solving. But I kind of don't think that there...

    Start disliking a game

    It definitely happens to me a lot with mobile games. I'll get really into them for about a week, and then just...completely lose all interest, and uninstall it -- regardless of how far I got into the game. After playing a game for a while, it starts to feel like a chore, and not something fun...

    Do you ever feel bad at killing someone in games?

    I don't think I've EVER felt bad about killing a character in a game. If the story sets it up to be sad, or like...if an ally character turns evil and you have to kill them, then that might be a little upsetting. But I wouldn't feel reluctant to kill the character, because...that's the game...

    Have you ever bought old consoles years after release?

    I don't have it anymore, but I bought a SNES long after it was released, but I never really played it that much. I can appreciate the aesthetic of owning old consoles and having them displayed nicely, but I think that as far as playing goes, emulators are way more convenient. Plus, old games can...

    Strained eyes while playing games

    I've heard about wearing special glasses for when using a computer, and I don't know anything about them but I think maybe they block a certain type of light that computer screens emit?? So I think they might be effective, as long as the problem you're having is caused by the light. I wonder how...

    What are your favorite death discouragement mechanics?

    uuuggghhh I HATE permadeath in Fire Emblem!! I refuse to let any of my characters die, so I end up resetting over and over. For me, it just gets frustrating & makes the game not fun at all. If it was 100% about skill, or 100% within the control of the player, it wouldn't be quite so annoying...

    Movies into Games

    Exactly! Most of the games are sooo poorly done -- it's obvious they were just pushed out to try to capitalize on the popularity of the movie. And it's not like I'm not susceptible to that kind of thing, lol. I remember playing the Lion King game for Sega Genesis A LOT when I was a kid &...

    The Unfinished Swan

    I'd never heard of it before, but it looks pretty cool! I really like seeing games like that, that are so different from other games. It looks kinda artsy~ It makes me wish I had a PS4 :( What is the gameplay like? You splatter ink everywhere, but is that it? Are there enemies to fight or...

    Strained eyes while playing games

    Whether I'm playing games or not, I'm usually staring at a computer screen. But I don't really feel like my eyes get strained. I keep my room bright, so maybe that helps? My eyes will get tired once it's late at night, but I think that would happen no matter what I'm looking at. The best...
