If you aren't playing DBD what games (video or otherwise) are you playing?

I'm curious what other games people play in addition to DBD. I ask because I suspect which other games people play may affect how they approach DBD, so also how (if at all) do you think that affects the way you play DBD?

    For example, I've been playing a bunch of Dota 2. That's a game that's far more structured for competetive play, so I see DBD as a place to relax by comparison.

    I also play a lot of indie puzzle games. I like the macro strategy of DBD; puzzle games tickle that same problem solving instinct for me. So there's definitely examples of reasons I play DBD for similarities to other games, and reasons I play to contrast other games.

    I've just been playing Stellar Blade and Astrobot recently but I don't think that has had any influences on the way I play DBD. I did buy Phasmophobia yet I haven't tried it - perhaps this weekend

    Every other game I play is single player (or predominantly single player like Soulsborne and Borderlands games). Mostly RPGs (JRPGs and Western), Roguelikes and the most challenging action RPGs I can get my hands on. Big Fallout player. And anything Fromsoft makes; I've been all about that life since Demon's Souls.

    Historically I have always avoided online multiplayer games because they eat your life, and tbh most days I regret picking up DBD as it has eaten thousands of hours of my life, lol.

    I'm gonna date myself here, but I used to be into the fighting game scene…in person at the arcade.

    DBD is really an outlier for me, something that I can pick up and put down easily. Pretty much anything else I play I will only play in large chunks of time (5-6+ hours). DBD is the "I'm gonna switch my brain off for a while" game in my life. Its appeal to me is that it's too messy and imbalanced to take seriously, so I don't get stressed by it.

    The only games I have been playing recently are the Resident Evil Games, not all of them however,

    I play RE, RE2, RE3, RE4, RE6, RE7 and RE8. If I played EVERY Resident Evil game, i'd probably die 💀

    Occasionally the big story ones when there's a new one; RE, Far Cry, AC (well, not the next one though) etc, Alan-Wake-Universe, Horizon etc.

    All-time-goodies are Age of Empires II, Anno and Planet Zoo.

    Currently, I’m 100%’ing RE Village. My other ‘main’ game currently is The Outlast Trials.

    I’m also (not) patiently awaiting the newest Professor Layton.

    I wouldn't say other games influence how I play DBD, more so they've influenced me to take very long breaks from DBD. I play a variety of games, just depends on my mood.

    Diablo 4 is my relax and just hangout with my brother game. We used to play DBD together but he quit entirely and the time we would've spent in DBD we now spend messing around in Diablo 4.

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Killer Klowns, and Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed for assym/pvp. I like the different approaches to assym horror.

    Helldivers 2 and Outlast Trials for some fun co-op with friends.

    Powerwash Sim, House Flipper, or DevCat games when I want something brainless.

    In last couple months I played Plucky Squire, Dredge, and TOEM. I need to finish Cyberpunk 2077.

    I'm waiting on the new Assassin's Creed to release, pretty excited about that. My brother gave me Banishers for Christmas so will probably start that up once I finish the new Assassin's Creed or want to take a break from it.

    I would say that DBD has left a certain imprint on me rather than playing other games has affected my attitude towards DBD.

    5 days a week for an hour in DBD.

    3 hours a week in Warframe up to level 30. Then sleep mode until the next update.

    The rest of the time on the weekends is distributed between fighting games, currently UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes.
    Co-op horrors if my friends call me UNDERWARD and Lethal Company.

    As for single-player, lately I've been drawn to various 2D projects. I've played or am going to play these games: Afterimage, ANNO: Mutationem, Cult of the Lamb, ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist, Momodora: Moonlit Farewell, River City Girls and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge.

    If you want my life story for the past decade, I've gone from LoL to OW, to F13 to Dbd with Yugioh on the side for all that.

    Now I have Sparking ZERO on the rotation, I am a Dragon Ball Goku main. Every game I play I play what I find cool and fun, but it's an uphill battle against Sweatlords. But that's the eternal struggle I voluntarily signed up for. Heck, I mained Legion when I started in 2021

    I enjoy single player stuff too, particularly Persona. Persona's 3 and 2 are permanently burned into my psyche

    In grade 8 I was utterly obsessed with ninja garden 2 the new remake is something I'm working towards playing(I'm playing through black first)
