I need a good game to play whilst listening to podcasts. Plot minimal, preferably repetitive but simple. Controller preferred over keyboard and mouse. Any ideas?

@paronomasiac Already played it. Completed the first ending (ie, got to the end but without collecting all of the mcguffins). It HAS been a while though...

@Vordus I just started it again, hence why it's on my mind.

@paronomasiac readying yourself with graph paper for all of the translation puzzles?

@Vordus Of course! It's the same notebook that I solved Riven's elevation puzzle in.

@hal Completed it a couple of weeks back! Great game.

@Vordus agree! really chill and nice to relax with :)

@codl Currently replaying that with Avery when I can. Unfortunately that means more talking and less podcasts.

@codl I don't do competitive multiplayer. I just can't.

@Vordus ah right. well my last resort idea is euro truck simulator 2

@codl I guess? It's a solid idea but it's definitely last resort.

@Vordus @codl oh pish and phooey ets 2 is great and you know it

@LottieVixen @puppy @codl I kind of got bored of it. It's a bit too aimless for my tastes.

@LottieVixen @puppy @codl This was after travelling to Saggitarius A* and then Colonia, mind. With none of them fancy star propulsion jumpy things.

@Vordus @puppy @codl ah...yeah I really REALLY want a mix between EVE Online (highly engaging but boring flight mechanics) mixed with E:D flight!

@LottieVixen @puppy @codl The EVE community's reputation always put me off EVE.

@Vordus @LottieVixen @puppy for me it was more having to communicate with people in general that put me off EVE

@codl @Vordus @LottieVixen marky its time to get back into wow

@Vordus @codl @LottieVixen you realize with the criteria youve given you have literally no right to give that as a complaint

@puppy @codl @LottieVixen I mean it's the same game I've played every couple of years for the best part of a decade.

@puppy @codl @LottieVixen I mean, on that basis I might as well be playing Minecraft.

@Vordus @codl but your job is tomatoes!!! how clear could your goal be
