I've gotten sick recently and am tired all the time but still want to play games instead of getting bored to death by youtube or netflix. What games would you recommend in those situations?
VA-11 Hall-A. Nice little game where you bartend in a cyberpunk dystopian future. Meet interesting people. Serve them interesting drinks. [editline]25th September 2017[/editline] I'm not biased at all.
Civilization. Any of them
Lakeview Cabin Collection :dance:
I'd also recommend any city builder, as they're easy to pick up, play for a few minuets or hours, and drop at any time. Specifically City Skylines if you want something modern, or Banished if you want something more historical and personal. Both have seasons where snow comes in, that's pretty dang comfy too.
Fallout 1/2/New Vegas, Deus Ex, XCOM, TES:Oblivion is very comfy, too.

factorio, terreria, minecraft, steamworld dig, stalker games(it get comfy walking in the rain), kingsway (if you think old OS is comfy), little inferno, poker night games and sky rouge.
Spintires and Viscera Cleanup Detail.

Euro and American Truck Simulator
I would put Endless Space 2 up there with games I play to chill out. It doesn't really require arcade reflexes since it's a 4X game, but it is oddly satisfying to gather resources and govern an empire, especially since the combat is somewhat hands-off compared to most strategy games and you can auto-resolve without diving into advanced deployment most of the time. Well, I say the combat is hands-off, but it's a different kind of "hands-off" compared to Civ. You go from node to node so you don't have the hex-based surrounding and rock-paper-scissors smashing of units into other units from Civ, but you can do a fair amount of ship customization in regards to weapons and defences, and you can decide the formations your fleets take as well as what tactic to employ. I'm not stressing my reflexes in Endless Space 2, but I am making a bunch of decisions. Though that's fine since it's mostly turn-based.
Mountain
Doshin The Giant
Animal Crossing
Anno 1404. It's just such a laid-back and pleasant economy/strategy/city building game
Sim Farm
Old school runescape can be surprisingly comfy
Rimworld with the appropriate settings can be a comfy experience
Slime Rancher
No mention of Stardew Valley yet?
Spore. It's a decently slow paced game with a very mellow soundtrack. The various editors are also a blast to get lost in. Once you get to space and "beat" the game it can get very repetitive, but the lead up to that is definitely worth the ride.
I'd also recommend D4 in a weird way
Path of Exile. It's a diablo-like with very understandable elements without bloat, plus it's free.
Factorio fo shiz.
Any Monkey Island should do you good!
[QUOTE=RenaFox;52717527]Slime Rancher[/QUOTE] For the most part, hell yeah. Though shit can hit the fan if a Largo eats an unfamiliar Plort, and then your whole ranch gets ravaged as if the Cravers invaded. Tarrs occur more in the wild, but at least it's out there and not in a pen where you have a lot of valuable Largos. Also, my mum's played a fair amount of Slime Rancher, to the point where she progressed even further than I had. Though that was mostly because I was too busy with my writing to play Slime Rancher.
Spintires
Tales of Maj'Eyal
any and all JRPGs with fishing minigames.
