So I'm stuck indoors with the flu after seeing my family on Thanksgiving. The family member who claimed they weren't sick anymore apparently was still contagious. Even with the flu vaccine that I got earlier in the year, I'm not feeling great.

With all that said, what's your go-to game if you're feeling sick/ill? Looks like there will be a lot of indoor time in my near future.

Sleep.

 

[Memati187]

Hentai girls puzzle, it's cheap and gets the sickness out of your body

 

[Magic-DEI-Hire]

Sleep.

Been getting plenty of it, plenty of fluids too.

 

[The_hunter]

Hearthstone, makes the time fly by.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I can barely function when I have the flu. My cognitive functions are completely shot. Watching films is a chore let alone playing games.

 

[T-0800]

Sleep. If you can still play games when you're sick you're not very sick.

 

[Aressa]

A short hike

 

[Fess]

Depends how sick and feverish you are.

I lazily played through Keeper with my youngest one beside me helping out with puzzles. Was a fantastic playthrough. It was a visual spectacle like nothing else this whole year, nothing comes close, just amazing in graphics and art and animations from beginning til the end.

Might be a bit hectic by the end if you're feverish, but I'd say it's worth trying, it starts out slow and linear with fairly logical puzzles so give it a spin and see if it's doable.

Sure

What is this dad energy? He's playing a game not mowing the lawn.

 

[BeardSpike]

Mark of the Ninja was pretty fun when I was sick.

 

[L*][*N*K]

Animal Crossing, any would work.

If you're playing videogames then you have a common cold. Not flu.

Positive flu test would say otherwise. Either way I had the flu vaccine so I'm not feeling anywhere near as bad as I would have had I opted to not get the vaccine.

 

[Signalis]

If you have the flu, you are in no position to be playing games

Funny you should mention the influenza vaccine. After twelve years of me and my girlfriend getting our annual vaccinations and being regularly ill, we didn't this year and would you know it we're less sick! We won't be putting that shite into our bodies again.

Get well soon yeah! =)

 

[JimmyRustler]

I can't play games at all when I'm sick. Usually I end up frying my brain with social media in those situations.

 

[Minari]

What are you talking about..

Sleep !

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I remember the first time I finished the original Castlevania, I was home sick from school.

 

[PeteBull]

Manflu is nasty af, my condolences, bro:

 

[HRK69]

Sleep.

This.

Usually you don't / can't play games when you are truly sick. It sounds a bit strange.

I legit can't remember the last time I was sick. Even when something small hits me, a bit of sleep and it's gone

 

[digimaster7]

None, too busy remembering the days where I take being healthy for granted

 

[Windle Poons]

I've only had flu once. I ended up in hospital on a drip for 3 days.

 

[cireza]

I use to play Worms on Saturn when I am in good enough condition to play. Otherwise sleeping is the best thing to do, obviously.

Actually the worst flu that hit me to bed for 2 days not able to do anything was after the flu vaccine in 2023 which is the first time I have taken it. Is it the effects of having the covid vaccines before or the flu vaccine itself or me getting old? Who knows.

Who the fuck knows. My trust is 100% ruined due to the MRNA vaccine rollout. The truth is slowly trickling out.

But we are screwed either way. We can't take out now.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Typically MMOs are my spiritual chicken soup when sick with something.

We all died in 2021 anyway. Oh and Bill Gates can track me now, thanks to the microchips.

 

[Garibaldi]

Complaining to the kids that the dog needs a walk...then walking him myself.

If I'm honest, I don't think I've ever had actual flu. Just the man flu variant, which is just cold with extra moaning.

Earlier this year I got laid out with a horrible flu and played through most of Persona 3 Reload, althoguh this is after the first couple days where I was totally laid out and couldn't do anything but sleep.
