Grieving over the loss of my father, having some time off work...

grieving over the loss of my father, having some time off work. can anyone recommend a comfy rpg or something to get lost in? i just finished witcher 1. playing oblivion again but it just doesn't feel the same.

But user... what if you come to associate that game with your grieving process? Then you'll forever associate a comfy rpg with being sad.

Not an rpg but Stardew Valley is easy to get lost in. Kind of a world away from yours. Sorry to hear about your father passing, I know the feeling.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

You can lose him again

Nothing is really going to dull it, and this I was into Kerbal Space Program when my dad died, and haven't been able to play it since.
From what I hear, the game has gone down the shitter since, but I still wouldn't be able to play even if it hadn't.

My suggestion is to find something immersive that you wouldn't mind never playing again after this.

i'll check it out cheers. does the grief shit and the dreams ever stop?

No

when my dad died i played a lot of sonic adventure 2
then again i was 10 so i could enjoy games like that back then
try morrowind if you haven't already
the world is a rough place, be thankful you can deal with grief sooner than having it shatter your life later

3D fractals are still the most terrifying thing on planet earth to me

Jokes on you! I never had a father!

When my dad died I played La Mulana

Fallout 3

That looks fucking insane. However it looks like you'd need 5 GTX1080's to run it.

It gets easier.
Horror/thriller games can always take me away from reality for a bit. Play through Amnesia.

Metal gear series

If you want to make your father's life and time spent raising you meaningful:

Stop playing video games and get a life.

Do LSD.

You too, OP.

Only if you live in a way to make him proud.

Otherwise it only gets worse.

Subnautica

It's true. was playing Euro Truck SIm 2 on the week my grandma was dying of cancer and it just brings back those memories of pain.

Subnautica, even if it's not a RPG but exporation / action.

RPG? Continue to Witcher 3

Single 1070 does it fine.

that sounds like a horrible ideal user

subnautica is garbage.

Just leave sociopath. Real human beings are having a conversation here.

I lost my dad in 2012 I was 35yo at the time I think, he was 59

>does the grief shit and the dreams ever stop?
Not really, it gets better around the 4 month mark though, thats when you start joking about stufff.

Grief healing is a double-edged sword, you're gettign over the initial passing and trauma etc but at the same time moving further away from that person as time goes on.

One of the worst things I remember was waking up each morning soon after dads passing, everything is fine for a split second after waking but then you remember, dads gone.

Sometimes you gan get locked into bad thoughts/memories of his passing and you physically have to shake your head to stop.

Grief is never perfect, you always think you could/should have done more, the easiest thing about grief is you have no other choice you have to ride that storm out, you'll never be the same person again, you feel like one big chapter of your life has ended and now you're on a blank page of chapter two.

SOmetimes it hurts that you dad won't be around to praise your work advances in life etc, in that respect it can feel like performing to an empty theatre, theres noone there to applaud you.

I used to have really horrible dreams, dad was always sick in them, sometimes worse horrible things, but now I don't get those so much, I like to dream about my dad these days (you will too) as I get to spend time with him again, sometimes we talk.

Escapism is never the answer. You're the psychopath for encouraging it.

Fuck you. Grieving is an inherent irrational process. When I lost my brother I cleaned my house obsessively to distract myself. Do whatever the fuck you need to do.

Subnautica is comfy, Portal/Portal 2, stanley parable, are all fun games to pass the time. Personally I go for 4x games when I'm looking to get lost.

It's great and you don't sound like you're suggesting a great game.

Your opinion is garbage

There's a difference between a psychopath and sociopath and from how fast you responded, you're not making a good case for yourself. I'm not going to feed into your games you manipulative chode

...

Ignore these trolls.

Get out and have a life. Your dad didn't want you to waste your time playing games.

Fucking get over it, pussy

Stop

Everyone has a life and everyone waste their time. Don't let your life choices account for those of others. We can play games for a few hours and go back to hanging with our buds or go to school/work.
Take your own advice hypocrite

Speaking from personal experience, withdrawing into video games after the loss of a close family member will not help you cope in the long run

Grandia 2 or Legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky.

Non RPG though I highly recommend Ori and the Blind Forest or Dust: An Elysian Tale.

Grieve, but don't get stuck.

Dragon Quest V

> Portal/Portal 2, stanley parable
Good games, but I wonder if I'd be in the right mood for silliness.

Maybe more something like Fract OSC and Antichamber? Or rummaging around in Riven, Obduction and so on.

There's no right way to do it user. Just do what makes you happy until the pain eventually becomes another background noise to your life.

>does the grief shit and the dreams ever stop?

I should add the grief becomes a part of you eventually you become comfortable with it, you won't want to stop grieving, to stop grieving is to forget and you'll never want to forget your dad

...

I know this is completely tangential, and I hope it doesn't sound disrespectful, but you really have an incredible way with words. My dad is still alive but this post made me feel so much. I know this is a little too sincere for Sup Forums

Speaking from personal experience, you can't do anything better to cope while you drag on with your life.

Usually it just takes time.

>There's no right way to do it user

Pretty much, grief is a very personal thing, people cope in their own ways, you may have others around you to help but it's ultimately a journey you have to walk alone

I'm so terrified of the day when my mother will die. I will truly, completely be alone. No family or friends, but at least I'll have stuff like vidya and maybe alcohol to keep me sane.

Join some or another club(s) before or some time after she dies.

My father died on the Sunday past, I’ve been off work too. To be honest I don’t really anything, I’m still able to be feel happy and excited so I’m not sure if im really grieving. Usually the way I deal with pain is that it comes nearly a month later and lasts half a year...so I may be waiting for that. Watching him die as we turned off the life support was horrible though, I cried then though I tried not too, I remember his holding his big, paw like hands (he was a big guy) like I used to do as a kid. And when he finally took his last breath I kissed his warm forehead and whispered goodbye to him... and now as i write this it’s sinking in that I’ll never see him again.... I’ll never really know him but I wish I’d had more time with him. Life is so strange

Not at all disrespectul m8 and thanks, it's just how I feel and I guess many others will understand also.

I played witcher 2 when it first game out and felt sick. Ruined W1 for me. Doubt i'll play 3

You're not alone there, my familly consists of my mother and my grandfather, once they're gone i'm technically an orphan, alone.

I'd rather die before my mother than feel the crushing grief that'll cause, but I promised my dad i'd look after her so...

>I'd rather die before my mother than feel the crushing grief that'll cause, but I promised my dad i'd look after her so...
>wanting her to feel the grief of loosing her child
user what

This. Bloodborne came out the week my father died. It always reminds me if him.

I kinda meant i'd rather not have to experience losing my mother but know I inevitibly will as I promised my dad i'd look after her and that includes outliving her etc

I wonder how many people in this thread already own the clothes they'll be burried in

Op here. Cheers for that

Try this OP, you can play horror games and never have to replay them again because they never have any replay value.
