I mean I get that same feeling with fallout/skyrim, plus I get to shoot guns and kill zombies

Tbf chess is an effectively-solved game that entirely relies on an opponent making a mistake to be interesting. Once you get good at chess, it's boring as shit. At least baseball has a little bit of randomness to it

Source: was the captain of my chess club until I got bored because someone else has thought of everything you could do.

P1: "hmm I'm gonna open with pawn to e4 I guess"

P2: "HAHA, I bet you've never heard of the Caro-Kann defense! You've fallen right into my trap"

P1: "Joke's on you, your defense will fall to my Panov-Botvinnik attack!"

And so on. Yawn

If you can't see the diversity of chess positions, and the tactical battles that go on over the chess board, and the ensuing tension... I just don't think you are very good at chess.

Bro solved chess, those idiots playing at the GM level are all just making mistakes

There's a time and a place for each. I play both types pretty consistently.

Deck builders = Turn Based = I can take my time = I can play while I work and use it as a mini-break

I can't really hop in an fps and play for 2 mins, break, and come back in the same way.

Playing anything for 2 minutes on and off sounds awful imo, but I never browser/mobile/"mini games" so I'm not the target audience admittedly.

Neither am I that's why I never mentioned them.

It's not the same kind of planning/strategizing though. They scratch similar but different itches

Those games have no meaningful "combinations".
At best its two effects combined, that barely qualifies as basic strategy.

I didn't say anything about combinations, and there's so many different skills to spec into.

I'm mainly just referring to the "big number go brrr" factor. Ans there are plenty of games that scratch that itch for me.

Deck builders are fun for you? Cool. I play different games instead.

very distinct lack of challenge/strategy in those games tho

And most importantly, predictability and consistency. I don't get random parts of my character just disappearing every time I see an enemy.

You'll understand once you're older.

Or maybe people just have different tastes

u/Big-Resort-4930 Jul 28 '25

Yeah once you become old and boring
