Aging gamers were reportedly delighted to see that a new video game called Eldric Quest has accessibility features catered specifically to people their age who do not have enough time to actually play a video game.

“I came back from the office at around 7 p.m. and was so happy to see this mode implemented because holy shit am I tired,”

    My friends’ 13 year daughter thought it was so weird I never encountered the Ender Dragon or any real enemies in Minecraft. I never play on anything harder than peaceful. Because after working all day, I just want to explore a randomly generated world and create stuff sometimes.

        Same lol. I actually went back for the mobile version and all this stuff with enchanting and villages it’s like an entirely different game

        I had more or less gotten over the game when the ender dragon was added. It was too grindy and slow and I felt like I could never get far enough to even approach the end. Then I joined a server where they had a bunch of infrastructure already set up. Suddenly I had access to enchantments and elytra and the game became super accessible, and I discovered just how much faster and more fun the game is now with all the incremental improvements. It’s given me something to play with my kids.

      I hate how playing in peaceful locks you out of crafting a bunch of very useful items. Since bone chips and slime balls only come from monsters, I can’t make my plants grow big and pretty with bone meal or make a lead rope for my horse. I’m sure there are other examples, but those are the two I care about the most, lol.

        This is partly why I also play on Creative, usually. But yeah, would like to have the Survival - Peaceful playthrough and still get everything craftable too.

        Granted, you can find some of this stuff in chests and randomly throughout the world while playing Survival - Peaceful, which is kind of part of the fun for me when exploring dungeons and villages and the spawning mansions.
