What games would you guys recommend for a guy near 50, who doesn't have a gaming pc (my laptop is an i7, 16gb RAM and using onboard graphics) which tend to have an older community? I used to play RPG's and my least favorite games are those first person war games.

Something that doesn't require synchronous gaming and doesn't have a lot of stress would be even nicer.

Thanks for any input!

The level of stress in Dwarf Fortress is really gonna depend on how attached you are to your dwarves.

losing is fun? I just disabled all sieges, beasts etc in the settings

But then you decide you need a well, or some magna forges. FUN always find a way :)

You can do that? Has that always been a thing? I haven't played in a while. Granted I would never turn those off, I'm very much in the Failure is Fun camp.

You'd have to change setting in the world creation to make it boring

I believe in not merely being labeled Armok, but in being Armok. If dwarves are dying of old age, then I am not satiated.
