What game is your comfort escape? (alien.top)

I started out in text based MUDS. I would find a terminal to log in where ever I could, it felt like going home. Some point and click adventures felt that way. Skyrim, and WOW for a while.

What's your favorite alternative dimension?

MUDS were awesome, i had like thousands of hours that i could dedicate to studying but nooo, i had to run though imaginary forests waving a mighty stick (was a druid) and slaying anything around my level.

because i knew how addictive it was, i skipped the whole ultima online / wow stuff. skyrim was fine substitute, but kinda shallow, i quickly (~100 hrs) lost interest.

death stranding was an unexpectedly nice distraction.

now i'm finishing old games that i have in a buffer (witcher 3, amnesias, planescape torment - i WILL fucking finish it!), interleaving them with these fine remakes that came out recently (system shock - because when it came out in 199x it was like slide show on my 486sx. dead space remake was awesome) or if the game is exceptionally solid, like disco elysium.

i am eyeballing baldurs gate 3, but i feel i might get lost to family for few hundred hours :)
