Even better PdP.
Cute fairies>Yoshi and co.

A game only upsets me more when I feel like that, they're never fun. The only thing I can do is try to deal with what's bringing me down.

>>4262617

Well a nice round of Clear mode always gets my mood up.

>>4262526
Im curious why japanese puzzle games get their IP completely changed when released in the US.

>>4262526
Russian roulette.

>>4264213
Probably because there's relatively less to change compared to other genres.

Last time I fell into actual depression, I didn't care what I played, and honestly don't really remember.
What I do remember is watching the everloving fuck out of Gamecenter CX. That optimistic bastard probably helped save my life.

lol

Tetris, since it was scientifically proved it can reduce PTSD symptoms.

>>4262526
Every game I've ever played...

>>4262526
Anything from Taito really, comfy games to make you feel better

The first time I felt like that I played this.

There's something about tetris clones and such that kinda makes them suitable for playing in the background while thinking of something else. Nowadays I do that with non-story focused metroidvanias and such.

>>4262526
i love tetris attack

the loli/chibi thing is off-putting in the West, especially back when anime was much more niche

>>4262526
I actually can't be bothered to play video games when I'm depressed.

>>4265860
this. I do play emulator when im down. but my room is a mess and its too much trouble to hook up consoles. I need to clean my shit up.

Not retro, but ESO has been the one thing keeping me from tipping over the edge.

I imagine all MMO's have the power to fill someone's life with purpose.

>>4262526
Russian Roulette.

Why would I feel like playing video games if I don't even feel like living?

>>4266437
It's not that you don't like living, its that you don't like living your life. Video games put you in another place for a good bit

I always try to play a multiplayer game when im depressed. Single player games, especially fantasy games make me feel worse for some reason.

>>4262526
That was mine and my ex gf's favorite game to play. I would always let her her win occasionally so she wouldn't get too discouraged, but she kept practicing without and got to where she could legitimately beat me at it
>tfw no qt 18 year old gf anymore hold and love and play games with

>>4262526

This game sure has some good memories for me

>>4268881
Are you able to beat the game with ease? This is one of my go-to retro games also. Though it's easy for me by now.

>>4262526
Vampire the masquerade Bloodlines, replaces the real world perfectly for me :]

nothing takes your mind of reality like chaining 2000 baal runs

>>4264827
this :(

You're on /vr/, dipshit.

>>4262528
comfy

>>4264213
To be more marketable.

>>4265430
It still disturbs healthy people.

>>4262526
Bomberman (TG16) or Centipede (7800 or SNES).

Both comfy as fuck, and they're total mind-clearers.

>>4264213
They were too fucking Japanese to come out unchanged back then...also brand recognition is going to help sell them in the west.

>>4264261
I agree, GCCX really puts you in a good mood.

>>4262528

There's something soothing with those building games. TTD, Settlers and Anno series are my goto games when I want some comfy solo play.

>>4262526
>Games you play when you are suicidal/depressed.
I play the "Jordan Peterson simulator". I usually start by cleaning my room. Some times I slay the dragon next, other times I save my father. I then like to take a bit to sort out my character before finishing the day.

Then I will try some diablo 2

I've wanted to get into this game but I don't know which one in the series to start with?

I wish I would have discovered JP much much sooner than later, like way before shit hit the fan in my life. I'm grateful this man exists and what he does for everybody.

Used to play this when I felt depressed. Then I had a panic attack from playing it, no idea why.

>>4277649
Can I give you a hug?
I just know how it feels.

Sometimes I play Majora's Mask because it's so somber. Gives me something to connect to and it also helps that I have the game memorized so I can play it without getting frustrated. I'm considering playing it today because my head is in a pretty bad place right now. That or I'll just play something that pisses me off because at least I won't feel empty for a bit.

>>4262526
I play this game when I'm happy, feel sorry for ya :(
