Reasons I love #games
@commandelicious saw some of your gameplay vids on YT and may be interested in picking up a strategy game. I feel strategy is all that's left for me as I've spent a better part of my life playing games like WoW and fps', and whenever I try to pick one up I get bored rather quickly. I never played much rts or complex strategy, so we'll see :)
Reasons I love #games (strategy games and getting old)
@commandelicious im 25 and not so much as slow but grossly repetitive and ultimately boring. I'll have to take a look at some of the titles you recommend there and try em out. Is Stellaris good for multiplayer?

@absolutus Generally Paradox balances their games for multiplayer.
There will be a LOT of DLC. If you do a MP round only the host needs the DLC you want to play with.
Stellaris has the problem that it feels the same after a few playthroughs even though there are literally dozens of ways to play it but I think MP will help.
(I am biased, I have 600+ hours into Stellaris)

Oh, feel the pain. I guess you are in your 30s as well and getting kinda too slow for fast RTS and shooters?
I certainly have that problem. The big 4 is approaching and it's no joke. That's part of the reason I loved Machwarrior Online so much, it's very slow paced and tactical decisions are at least as important as shooting and much more important than reacting in lighting speed.
I literally can't play RTS like Starcraft because I am too slow.
Supreme Commander (not the second one) is rather good but old.
strategy wise I play grand strategy games from Paradox (the swedes) like Europa Universalis 4, Crusader Kings 2, Hearts of Iron 4 and Stellaris
Completely pausable, complex to a fault and the learning curve is rediculous.
Strategy games are my thing. I just love to ponder upon a problem for twenty minutes.
And yeap, I am a 38 year old complete Paradox fanboy and I am not sorry for that :D
