First Spyro game on the PS1.

>>15732328

Are there still people on that? Also I heard it had some security issues

>>15732340

I think there's always at least 25 on at a time, usually more in the 30s or 40s.

The main merit I see in it is the quests, Runescape can be played almost entirely as a single player game, so low server population doesn't affect normal gameplay too heavily, and there's a global chat so everyone can chat with each other no matter where they are.

Security issues are over, originally passwords weren't properly encrypted. Since nothing was actually connected to the accounts though, no one should have been seriously impacted outside of /v/scape unless they were dumb enough to use their normal username and password for other sites on a fan server run by anons.

Nowadays passwords are actually encrypted properly so it shouldn't be able to happen again.

The best thing about Runescape is that the quests are like adventure games, they're more about gathering the right items, equipments, and skills to solve puzzles and things. This is the opposite of the boring WoW-like quests that are just "kill ten ostriches," "collect 100 wool" that sort of thing.

Quests include:

>put an end to a dangerous vampire once and for all

>help a man who's been turned into a chicken become human again

>solve a murder mystery

>help romeo and juliet find love (or not)

>save a saudi prince prince by crossdressing

and much, much more

Emulate Pokemon Snap, either Project64 or Dolphin (dolphin is a gamecube/wii emu, but can also emulate n64 games). Extremely comfy game, plus a nice soundtrack.

The first animal crossing

Sadly I could never get into runescape, not even back on its prime, but I appreciate the recommendation.

>>15732376

Did they actually fix the emulation with that game? I remember that was one that just wouldn’t work, much like DK64.

>>15732413

You talking about the N64 game or the GC one?

Call of Chernobyl

Banished.

Mods are recommended but optional if your goal is solely comfyness.

I also would suggest putting on Steeleye Span albums while you play.

Runescape fags gtfo with your "totally not a moneypit" game.

Play something like EA Skate 1,2 or 3. Incredibly relaxing to skate around ignoring any mission and just having fun creating your own lines. Physics based gameplay means the replay value is quite high.

These are ollllllld games too. I would love to see the havok engine or whatever rockstar used in RDR2 on a skate game.

But its still well worth the experience

>>15732323

Pokemon is pretty relaxing.

Stonehearth

>comfy music

>neat aesthetic to build shit with decent building mechanics

>can turn off hostile for max focus on comfy

>have some mods that might add to the feels

<was finished hastily and made those that supported them during kickstarters mad

<SCAFFOLDS

<can eat your CPU like dorf fort

-a shallower dorf fort

Kingdom and Castles

>still getting updates

>can be aesthetically pleasing

>AQUEDUCTS

>can build the tower of babel and put a ballista on top of it

<doesn't have much mechanics and can feel shallow, even more than Stonehearth

I don't think both of these are great games, but decent enough for comfy. Seconding >>15733748

Worth mentioning are SimCity 3000, The Sims 1, 2, 3, Minecraft with the right mods. I want to say Terraria but it gets hectic at times and Starbound have excellent soundtrack but it feels shallow. Maybe you find some mods to make it comfy. At least you can technically build your own outpost and some random NPCs can come by. Staxel is still being updated. Looks like a nice game to chill out.

this picture is depressing because it's so accurate

Crusader kings 2 can be somewhat comfy when you're playing as a Patrician family and just making sure the Doge doesn't fuck anything up. You can also just play one of the larger starting realms and just manage the place without expanding, just maintaining alliances and buildings. If your into family quarrels, theres playing as a stepp horde as well, though I'm not sure if that can be considered comfy until you reach a stable position (i.e. conquring every other steppe tribe)

Pokemon Snap works fine on PJ64. I haven't tested it on Dolphin, but would most likely work even better on it assuming your hardware was better as well.
