I could conceded that my wife and I may be a little uptight, but most of our group is atheist or at least agnostic. So, just an internal uptightness. Lol.
Man, I also miss having a group of board game buddies too. Most of us have toddlers or kindergarteners now, and free time is extremely limited. Later this month we do have a kid free game night I'm really looking forward to. I have some weird old ones nobody has ever played I bust out from time to time to break up the long-form modern games we would normally do, like Arkham Horror.
I mostly grew up with 2D platformers and racing games, but I don't play them hardly at all anymore. I think part of the appeal of RTS and survival games for me is the freedom. There's no path to follow, you just wander anywhere and do whatever you want. Games like The Forest, and Fallout 3, and Seven Days to Die are among my faves currently. And for RTS, I like Battlezone II and I've dabbled in some Red Alert. I prefer open world freedom in my shooters, too. My favorites are Battlefield 1942 and all of its fantastic mods, and Star Wars Battlefront 2 (the original, not the EA one). But I pretty much play everything solo, with bots. I don't want to play with internet strangers, and it's rare I get people over for a LAN party.
If you want to try any old board games that don't get enough love, I recommend Score Four, Twixt, and TouchΓ©.
Damn now that's the first time I've felt young in the Internet in a while. Arkham Horror was the first "real" board game I ever heard of when I first played, and what launched my interest in it at all. So calling it modern got me lol. I'm not sure if that was the oldest game we played, but it well might be.
I'd say anything college or later is modern to me. Probably why I still have a Windows XP gaming PC. XD
XP was a huge advancement at its time, but I can't imagine running it today on the Internet at least.
I remember those keyboards from computer labs at college though.
They had those keyboards in my college labs, too. And those monitors. It's not bad for a membrane kb. And I like how they look, which is the big reason I did a Dell build. Well, other than the fact that I got the tower at a flea market for like, $20.
Oh, you can't do shit on the internet these days. Lol. I don't know of a single browser for it that supports https. I tried installing Steam on it, but the last client supported for it can't connect anymore. I could probably still play some LAN games with it, but it's really just for me solo.
A true vintage.
