( this is what you wanted to be greeted with when opening the network, right? a woman sat on an unmade bed with her legs crossed ankle over knee, ashtray full on a bedside table, looking about as enthused as a rock as she's so very clearly scrolls through some searches. )

So, video games.

( great opening line. didn't even introduce herself. )

I get what they are from looking it up, but what's the point in some of these? PowerWash Simulator? Farming Simulator 56? American Truck Simulator? You could just go outside and do some of this.

( is she smoking inside her bedroom? also yes. sorry if that gets into the vents, redemption team. )

... I also need suggestions for games. And no, I don't have experience in it which means I don't have enough to make a preference with.

( thank god. someone who won't nag her about it and is an expert at the very field she was asking about? this is everything she could've asked for. maybe this network thing isn't so bad. )

It just seems a little mundane to want to simulate. I think I saw one for.. mowing a lawn?

( baffling.

but, hm.. good question. )

I'm usually working, or looking for work. Sort of a freelance type deal. Didn't really do much of anything else besides that.

Is it mundane or is it lazy?

[ don't answer that. ]

A lawnmower simulator is kind of a snoozefest, though, I'll give you that.

[ if hana wasn't working, she was playing video games — but she also used to stream for a living, so... she was always working, actually. :\ ]

Hmm. Okay. Are you looking for something cozy and easy or something that requires more of an aim?

[eirs]

( okay, at least she agrees. which means she's not missing anything for being something of a boomer. )

I'm not sure what the first would entail.

( but she's an alright shot, it's just not something she's sure she wants to be doing in her downtime.

and well, she has an expert on the line so it doesn't hurt to ask.. )

What about you? You seem like you've got plenty of thoughts on it for the both of us.

( you KNOW you want to put her through the wringer of games. it'd be quite the sight. )

[ tao, is it any consolation that you're not as much of a boomer as other people here? at least you're a sexy boomer idk ]

Cozy games are games that are easy on the eyes and on the brain. There's no need for reflexes and being good at aiming with a mouse. All games require mindless clicking to some degree, but cozy games like Stardew Valley and The Sims can be relaxing.

[ unless you're being overly ambitious with your sims and trying to do challenges, or flat out trying to kill as many sims as you can..... ]

I, myself, [ a hand is splayed across her chest; a poor attempt at being modest. if she sounds like a know-it-all, it's because she is. ] prefer classics like StarCraft. It's not for the impatient, though. There's a steep learning curve. For beginners, I would suggest Smash Bros, Animal Crossing, Overcooked if you want to play with other people.
