Anyone else play online games?

I am totally addicted to June's Journey. I am on a team called Sane Dem. I joined it because with a name like that, it's likely a Democrat as Captain.

I also love Royal Match and Ava's Manor but Ava's Manor is fairly hard to win unless you are willing to buy extra coins.

I find when I get anxious they help my mind focus on the games instead of all the things my mind comes up with to dwell on or worry about.

I play while I listen to music or while watching TV.

I play several times a day, every day.

2. No, I don't want to get into that trap of playing online games literally forever. It's too addictive, and I want to

spend my time online in not playing games but to research stuff, to DU, to communicate w/ friends and family, keep on top of community news. Playing games? No. I'd rather join a bridge club, go out and meet the partners, and play an enjoyable game, face to face.

I used to love to go to my Writer's Group in person, but then the lady who used to pick me up no longer goes, and I can't drive anymore. I do still attend sometime via Zoom. Also signed up with our County's Office of the Aging recently so hopefully they will have some activities.

19. Good for you. My other half does worry about me too, driving and/or doing things outside the House, and them

not there 'just in case'. But I'm careful, and try not to do too much /too many things, to over-extend myself.

I've got to figure out how to get Zoom on my computer too, get a camera too, and kind of get into the routine, so many people do have cameras and stuff on their computers. It's been a while since I've updated my systems/computer.

Hopefully, the Office of Aging has some good stuff for you, can provide you w/ perhaps folks to drive you places, to doc appts, do other things for you around the house/property, etc.

Take care of yourself and of course, have a nice day!

She's been playing it for years. She loves it. I played MLB the Show (which is partly online) up until it got too expensive and you couldn't get the best cards without being really good at the game,which I wasn't. I played Train Sim World now, which isn't competitive.

12. I used to have a Lord of the Rings video game. I didn't beat many levels.

That's too bad about the MLB fame. Challenge is good, but not when it makes you want to stop playing altogether.

I play NYT games Wordle, Connections, Spelling Bee and The Mini Crossword in the morning.
Then I play Squaredle and Waffle in the evening.

My Husband & I both play EA's POGO games at different intervals through the day,,,,

Manor is Solitaire based but they add obstacles. The thing I like is that when you win it advances a story about a woman who inherits a Manor. The story is kind of Silly but there's an animated sheep dog who is fun to watch.

Match 3D games are good too.
