I have a super strong and fast computer.

It's a:

Dell XPS 8700 XPS 8700
NVIDIA Corporation GK208 [GeForce GT 720]
Intel© Core™ i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz × 4
16GB DDR3 Memory

So, as you can see, my machine can handle any type of game I ever want to play.

Last Wednesday, and even one day the week before that, I spent over an
hour, about and hour and 10 minutes, playing AisleRiot Solitaire. The game
was so smooth and the cards flipped over well and it was great.

I guess I was kind of testing the computer to see just what kind of heavy
game load it could take and, needless to say, the computer handled the graphics and everything very well.

But now it seems to about more than just an endurance test for the
computer. I'm squandering massive amounts of time and becoming mesmerized
by the game. As I said, over the last two weeks, I've spent more than 2
hours in a game induced trance, for lack of a better phrase.

Are any of you hardcore gamers like I seem to be well on the way to
becoming? What games do you play? I've been thinking about going all out
and downloading some Asteroid, Pac-Man, and Donkey Kong flash games I
found but I'm not sure if I want to take that step so quickly and maybe
even become addicted to them also.

And, even as strong as my computer is, I may have to get a more powerful computer to be able to handle those anyway.

I've slowed it down a bit and only spent 15 minutes yesterday and the day before playing solitaire. If I can keep it that low, it's only an hour and forty minutes in a 7 day week wasted.

While that probably officially makes me a hardcore gamer, I don't feel
like it is too disruptive to the rest of my life. Of course, that is
almost 2 hours a week just gone, wasted, so that is nothing to sneeze at.

Being a gamer is pretty intense and the thrill you get from it is very addictive, I must say. I don't really know if I could just completely stop
at this moment, and that is scary.

The game just takes over, you know. The thrill of seeing which card will
come up, the frustration of not making enough matches, the elation of
winning it all and then seeing the congratulatory sounds and graphics when
you win a game.

The makers of these games know exactly what they are doing and try to make
it addictive as they can, I believe.

Ditch AisleRiot and get KPatience. With Klondike obvious moves like aces
to the foundation are automated. It's particularly impressive when the
game is solved and there are still a lot of cards on the tableau that fly
to their proper places. That is, unless you like moving everything
manually.

However, playing solitaire will get you laughed out of gamer circles.

Sounds like trolling, but maybe not.

If solitaire does this to you, the ultra-powerful catnip of Half-Life 2
will get you high for a week solid.

And if you can get it to run in DOSBox, the original Quake (1996) is a masterpiece not to be missed.

If I use KPatience, I'd have to pull in a ton of KDE dependencies to my
Mint Cinnamon install; not worth it. Or, I'd have to use a flatpak, and I
only use Flatpak for one program, which is Gimp. I don't like to clutter things up.

I don't know why playing solitaire would get me laughed of of gamer
cirles. It's pretty fucking intense. After each 15 minutes or so session
each day, I shut down the computer to let it cool down.

Frogger. I'm seriously considering taking the pretty huge step of
downloading some Atari inspired flash games.

I'll run them with Ruffle, you know, because flash is pretty shoddy when

I can download Asteroids, Donkey Kong, DuckHunt, Frogger, Moon Patrol, Pac-Man, Pong, Simon, Space Invaders, and Starcastle and all of them
combined will just use 1.2MB of storage. They aren't big games.

How is solitaire not a game of complete luck? When I've played I just
run out of possible moves, and that's it. And when there is a move,
you just take it. Where's the skill?

There are some strategies that may improve your odds but luck certainly is
the major factor. Golf supposedly allows more strategy but every time I've tried it the cards seem to determine the outcome.

DSDA-Doom should be available on Mint. I tend to keep vampire hours so in
the '80s I would take a break and go over to the stop'n'rob, the only

Frogger:
Getting repeatedly squished could be traumatic.

Asteroids:
Get gud and you won't die ever (or seldom).

Donkey Kong:
I think this denigrates the noble giant ape.

DuckHunt:
You know what this game needs? Ducks that shoot back,
and the chance that your retriever gets rabies and
you have to "put him down".

Moon Patrol:
Useful if you expect to colonize the moon.

Pac-Man:
Makes light of wandering deadly spirits, which are actually demons,
as you should well know young man.

Pong:
Though safe and fine for what it is, you need two people
in the same room to play it. (You live alone, don't you
Perfesser Incel?)

Simon:
I don't think that would translate well to the PC.

Space Invaders:
It's a classic, but it doesn't look like much of anything.

Starcastle:
I don't know this one.

Elite Dangerous Odyssey:
Now you're talking. Oh wait, you didn't mention that one.

Guess I have to: You can take off in you ship from a station, fly
to a landable planet, land, and get out to walk around. Space legs!

It's skill and luck. It's helps to know when to reveal or not reveal
cards, when to save an empty column, etc... Luck plays a part too,
especially in Klondike solitaire. Make no mistake, logic and determining
what is ahead plays a large part in being successful, as does recognition
of patterns.

Forget all that though. I've just discovered another game that is a
thousand times more intense and time consuming than solitaire.

It's called Simon. It's unbelievably fun and challenging. I'm falling
deeper and deeper into a hardcore gamer's type of decadent lifestyle.

Why would you not reveal a card that can be revealed?

Mainly to just make sure all moves have been made first. Otherwise, you
can easily bury a card that you need.

Now you're talking. Oh wait, you didn't mention that one.

Guess I have to: You can take off in you ship from a station, fly to a
landable planet, land, and get out to walk around. Space legs! (I've
heard there's other things to do to, but that could just be rumor.)

I'm not going out and buying some fancy Nintendo or something to play what >> you are talking about right now. I'm not at that stage yet. Maybe that

GNOME Mahjongg.
