I’m not talking high, I’m not talking vibing, I mean absolutely covered in cookie crumbs baked.
Sometimes, it’s nice to come home from an awful day at work, smoke a toke, and forget about problems for a minute.
I usually would just continue playing whatever game I’m actively into at the moment. But when you’re sitting there covered in cookie crumbs, maybe trying to figure out how to play Boulder Gate 3 might be too tedious for the moment.
Vampire Survivors is what I typically play, but sometimes it’s nice to have more than one option.
Minecraft playing as a nomad. Just watching sunsets over a mountain and sleeping in a giant mushroom.
Stardew Valley, No Man’s Sky and Tetris Effect
I got reeeeallllly baked once and played NMS with a couple friends for the first time. I got lost/stuck in a dark cave for a solid 20 minutes.
It was hilarious and we still bring it up once in awhile.
10/10 would recommend.
As someone who’s never taken a drug in their life, I wonder what sort of reaction someone on LSD would have to something like Tetris Effect.
I mean, my nickname for that game is “Trippy Tetris”.
Can confirm Tetris effect is the ultimate high Tetris experience. Especially the way the music syncs with your moves, it’s the ultimate synesthesia.
+1 to Tetris Effect. Play it with some good audio too, they really went hard with it. NMS is always a blast.
I refer to NMS as ‘Chillin in Space’ I find it to be the perfect game.
on that social media site we don’t talk about there was an entire community called No Man’s High. That’s how great it is when you’re torched.
Tetris Effect. Literally transports you to another world
Not really a stoner myself but I bet the following would be good:
-The Catacombs of Solaris Revisited
-A Short Hike
-Placid Plastic Duck Simulator
-Untitled Goose Game
-Manifold Garden
-The Looker
-Peggle Deluxe
-Sable
-Genital Jousting
-Abzu
-The Stanley Parable
-Bugsnax
> -Genital Jousting
Any video games you could also recommend?
Yes, but you must prove you are at least 18 years old first.
Thanks for sharing. There’s several on your list I’ve never heard of and I look forward to doing some research now. ☆
Hope it helps, I’m more of a beer guy but I figure they might be up your alley. They’re mostly a mix of funny and relaxing.
These are the ones I’ve tried personally.
-Brotato It’s like vampire survivor, but potato
-Subnautica The underwater visuals are perfect for baked brains
-Destiny 2 Go solo and just visit the different worlds, don’t worry about quests or missions just enjoy the scenery and shoot things, occasionally. Without knowing what’s going on there are a lot of neat secrets places to stumble into and some of the scenery is awe inspiring.
-Disco Elysium If you can read and toke, it takes you places
-Dorf Romantik Someone already mentioned this but it’s worth it. Like a puzzle, but there are no wrong pieces
-Eufloria Not complicated, very chill. I don’t know how to describe what it is…leaf seeds fighting each other?
-Lego Pick a franchise and there’s a Lego game. Doesn’t require much brain power and you always feel like your winning.
-Red Dead Redemption 2 It’s like going for a walk in the wilderness from the couch
-Superliminal It’ll bend your brain and is totally worth completing in one sitting. If you can’t figure out what to do just look it up. The end is worth being high for. Kind of like Stanley Parable, but with ‘perspective’.
-Stanley Parable Definitely try this one.
Peggle and Tetris effect are also really great suggestions. Tetris Effect has a really great reactive soundtrack.
Ones I haven’t tried but think would work
-High on life
-Powerwash simulator
I don’t know about Subnautica - seems like it might be a little too intense for me. Maybe ABZU? Same underwater theme/vibe as Subnautica without the pants-shitting terror
I’ll say it: Minecraft.
He said it, everyone.
We don’t know if he actually said it. We only know that he wrote that he would say it. And wrote it he did.
Anti-chamber
For me it’s Skyrim but finally it’s a game you’re so familiar with that you don’t need any motor skills besides your muscle memory.
+1 for Skyrim!
Scarlet Tower - If you like Vampire Survivors, you’ll love this
Bloons TD6 - Baked monkes popping bloons time
Driftwood - A really dope downhill longboarding game featuring a sloth
Calico - If you want something cute, a little bit like Animal Crossing but even more laid back
Root - If you’re looking for multiplayer online board game (probably should do the tutorial not baked first tho)
Cookie Clicker - Enough said
More great suggestions that I must check out. Wow, thank you!
Peggle, it’s what I play while hitting my vape because you only need one hand to play.
Also Peglin, if you ever wanted Peggle but as a roguelite deckbuilder.
GRIS. An absolutely gorgeous game with some relatively easy platforming and puzzles. It was published by Devolver Digital.
If you are lightly toasted ECHO can be a lot of fun. Great visuals and plenty of ways to cheese your way around puzzles.
Cloud Punk is a super chill cyberpunk taxi game. I don’t think I ever felt stressed playing it.
Discovered Cloud Punk only recently and I completely agree - lovely little game. Gameplay itself is pretty chill and I really enjoyed the characters and storytelling. I feel like too many cyberpunk games are like “look at this rotten, desolate society based on greed and oppression” only to then go “fuck yeah, let’s make it to the top of that pyramid of injustice” instead of questioning it.
I hope the developers can somehow keep that storytelling aspect in the upcoming sequel which looks much broader in scope, like a life sim set in the city of Nivalis.
Rez: Infinite
Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari, maybe?
Sayonara wild hearts
I play indies or roguelikes for this. It’s the most similar to old arcade cabinets experience from back in the day: you play a match, 15-30 minutes top, if you feel like it, rinse and repeat, otherwise not a big deal.
I’m currently playing Hades. Dead Cells is even better.
