      Don’t forget to find one of those citizens that are temporarily immortal to punch and kick their shit for maximum physical experience. I loved doing that on that first city, after finishing the quest where the dude convinces you to change your hair and beard “for his daughter”.

    *while ignoring any real-life counterpart of any of those. (except goals, kinda, since your goal at the moment is doing those things in that game).

    My top two games played this year are over 10 years old each.

    My 3rd most played is Baldur’s Gate 3, weighing in at 250 hours, so I’ve got that going for me.

      I’m still not sure how much I like BG3, but I have sunk 90h into it at this point, so it can’t be that bad.

      My game of the year for 2023 was probably the Q2 remaster, overall.

    Haha how weird and quirky! A game from 2013? No one’s ever played those before! You must be so special and unique! But not as special and unique as me, playing games from the 80s! Oh wait. There’s nothing special and unique about any of this.

      I find it curious to see people having this sort of insecurity (in some cases, some sort of aversion) with playing older games, while they don’t have it with other media, like books or music.

            They’re presenting themselves as something “different” from other gamers… How is that not presenting yourself as unique and special? It gives “I’m not like other girls” energy.

              Last I checked the meme is saying the accomplishments are less impressive than they may seem at first, and I’m not seeing “Im not as impressive as I first look” as being “special”.

                “Im not as impressive as I first look”

                It’s not impressive either way, so why are they bringing status into it whatsoever? Older games are not “less impressive” to play, and that mindset should not exist in the first place.

    I’m not interested unless I see “First transmitted via telegraph by the US Government, 1883.” in the about section of the game store.
