I have no game to contribute here, but wanted to say thanks for the thread and those who replied.
My go to game has ways been WoW (lately Wotlk classic). However last night I had to put my crying kid to bed who's about 1 week post surgery (he's ok and will be ok), logged on 20 min late to raid time, had no spot (I get it, I do, I was late with no comma), and just off the weight of the week was feeling a bit numb.
I opened Steam to see if I could play something else and just stared at my library of unplayed games for an hour and picked nothing.
Sorry that's all quite sad. I'm ok. My kid is ok. But my overall point is, this thread has given me some ideas of what to play instead of WoW. And for that, thanks!
Thank you for a very kind reply.
