What games should I play to dull the pain of my dad's death

super mario 3

>>713437824 (OP)
you should talk to you family, doesn't has to be related just talk
keeping that shit in won't do you any good

this is why Whiskey exists, get shitfaced and pass out.

pressing plastic buttons to make numbers go up wont suffice here

Subnautica

I am sorry for your loss, anon.
Lost my grandfather a couple of weeks ago and the only thing I am using my energy for is basically working out, but I am just coping using the pain as fuel.
I just keep looking at fitness and trainers like Pavel Tsatsouline and trying out their methods and training exercises, I quit smoking and boozing years ago so I found out that I would do something less harmful to myself than what I used to.

Persona 3

Go for a walk, man. A nice hike through some nature does the mind good.

Talk about him with people which you share a good memories

>>713437824 (OP)
Expedition 33. Literally built for people like you and in your state of mind.

>>713437824 (OP)
None because it's escapism

>>713437824 (OP)
Simpsons Hit and Run

OP here, thank you for the laugh anon

to remember old times

I'm so sorry homie.

>>713439081
escapism is not inherently bad. the brain needs chances to separate and compartment-whatever things. running at full tilt 24/7 is how you go crazy

>>713439212
Another good laugh, this is what I was hoping for

>>713437824 (OP)
Poe, factorio, or satisfactory.
Or the reddit answer tetris.
Sorry for your loss man.
I honestly have no idea how I'll be able to cope when one of my parents pass away. Just the thought of it now fucks me up.

>>713438124
Whiskey AND games, though. That's a pain-dulling combo greater than it's individual parts.

Nier the PS3/360 NA version

When my Mom passed a year ago I got drunk and took Xanax for a week. Then played Atelier Ryza.

You're asking people who don't play games for game recommendations.

Baba is you

>>713440015
dad is dead
baba is sad

>>713438124
aaand that's how you become an alcoholic.

Sorry about your loss. I also lost my dad roughly 6 months ago but I've been stable enough because I have things to do so I keep my thoughts busy. Marinating in grief can let you help get the emotions out and it doesn't really stop sucking, but don't do it for too long or you'll just drown. Personally I've been really into Shin Megami Tensei but I can't really think of a specific game to recommend. The Raidou remake just came out and is fun.

>>713440101
It'll get better with time. If you need to get your mind off it for a respite do whatever distracts you the most. If it's vidya then you know best which games occupy you the most.

>>713439171
I only speak it from experience. Glad I can help in a small way, seriously anon.

Coming up on 4 years after I lost my dad. Felt pretty suicidal in those days. Ended up having to move. Mom also passed on a few years prior. Sometimes I feel like I'm not meant to live happy. Some days are better than others, though. Rediscovering this gem was a fun distraction

>>713437824 (OP)
just drink and smoke like a normal person

>>713437824 (OP)
sorry to hear that

i dont think a game would help, take a walk, its probably going to hurt for a while, but your dad would want you to pick yourself up and continue moving forwards, and you will, use this moment to take breather before that march ahead

God of War 2018

To the Moon and it's sequels

Hatred

My dad died when I was 9. When I was 5 or 6 he got me a Mega Drive with Sonic for christmas. I remember opening it and waiting for him to set it up on the living room's tv. Some time ago I reassembled it and played it again, sitting on the floor. Felt great.

Play something that reminds you of a good time, OP.

abiotic factor. even better with friends.

My dad got disemboweled by a forklift when I was 11. It gets better. Treat yourself to something you really like.

I'm always curious why people get this attached to their parents. It's sad when they pass for sure, but assuming you are over 25, they are not you're whole life, they were a good part of it but there should be more to it than just them.

>>713444576
Not trying to sound like an asshole here, but these people obviously had a stronger relationship to their parents than you did to yours (for better or worse)

Silent Hill 3 :)

we love katamari

>>713445043
I disagree, stronger relationships tend to lead to better coping to the hard times of thei passing, you knew what love was and all that, you cry and moarn for them but get over it, understanding you still have a life they would want you to live. And that is where the issue starts isn't it? They never filled it with other people so their family became more like a dependency drug. People get over the lost of loved ones with others there with them, wives, children, close friends, etc. The people that break hard when losing a parent are people that didn't network their lives right, they don't have strong support of love there yo keep them going. That's not to be a critic of the situation, just the observation.

I get what you’re saying, but let’s be real here, we know nothing about these peoples family situation, and stating that friends could replace the hole a parent left sounds like a cope aswell, when even a significant other struggles with this task

So let’s agree to disagree

>>713437824 (OP)
talk to your family. they're the only one who understand your suffering and let it all out before you can restart your life.

>>713446608
>and stating that friends could replace the hole a parent left sounds like a cope aswell,

you be surprised, I've both seen and experniced love from people that hold no blood to each other that would put even the best of families to shame. The worse thing a human can do is live a life and not experience that. To know what it's like to be cared by someone that had no familiarity to you or responsibilities to you. A good parent is just one that values what they made, a good friend is someone that simply values you for being made.

This. Whiskey + listening to Kavinsky + driving a muscle car at 3am on a highway is the way to go in this situation.

Bleak Faith. Its very grey and bleak heh with a confusing interconnected map, so you’ll be concentrating on where you are, and you won’t find any themes that grate on your nerves while you’re feeling down.
