My dad is 72 and builds amazing stuff in Cities and Skylines

[-] edgesmash@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Games like Cities: Skylines are perfect for middle-aged and older dads. It fits right into things like fixing up and old car or building some wooden stuff.

But also any games for any people. I'm a 43yo dad who just got my kids interested in hotseat Mass Effect (they don't enjoy doing the combat so much).

hotseat Mass Effect

This sounds like a great way to spend time with your progeny, my sister and I used to do that with Actraiser. She'd do all the city building and answering prayers, and I did all the combat acts.

The family that plays together stays together.

My dad was a city contractor before he retired and several bridges and roads locally built by his company. When he retired he got really listless and started drinking way too much. So I updated his PC to something reasonable and got him a ton of city builders from Simcity2000 all the way to Cities and Skylines II. Completely turned his time around. I mean he still drinks, but a lot less and he and I always have something to talk about.
