Sounds like it should do well with some advanced 3D stuff? Or wonky physics games like Goat Simulator or Amazing Frog

Possibly semi intentional given that Warcraft was almost a Warhammer game and got plenty of artistic inspiration from it

JRPGs have their charm and, depending on your age, will feel a lot more relatable and “easy to get started” than most western RPGs. I don’t remember when I started caring more about WRPG over JRPG, but I think it happened when I was 17, I suspect Warcraft 3 and World of Warcraft played a significant role in that.

A time honored tradition of getting lost because of misreading the journal. I don’t remember which quest it was, but it was one that asked me to find something heading south. The first time I went south I got pretty much to the end of Vvanderfell. Next time I tried doing the walk, I kept to the road. It didn’t take more than 1 minute from the city (Balmora? Can’t remember) to where I was supposed to go.

But how will Jiub become Saint Jiub the Eradicator if nobody is hassled by Cliff Racers with infrared vision locking onto them from the other side of the island?

You can even have full 3D movement without dual analogs! Not ideal, but it works

I last played it to completion in 2021 I think? Via OpenMW, too, so with a lot less bugs and glitches. Yes, I want to play it again

Are we stupid?

More than you could imagine. To paraphrase some long-tongued weirdo: I’m uncertain that the universe is infinite. Human stupidity, on the other hand…

Show me why that is a bad thing

The power of social pressure.

Roblox being free was its main attraction back when it was new. It was super easy for a kid to get their school friends to join in and play, so growth was very organic. Having the variety of player made games experiences ensured they wouldn’t feel the need to leave to play something different.

Uh, 300h with X4, 700h with Palworld… I’d expect to be autistic with the former more than the latter

Don’t forget the normies that only play FIFA <current year>

I enjoy roguelikes for up to 30 hours most of the time, they rarely remain entertaining after that (to me, anyway)

(she’s just depressed and doesn’t have any friends)

Fucking relatable. I got 3 friends, barely see any of them because of adult life :/

Terranigma was awesome. I have heard of La-Mulana, but never actually played it

Neither, thankfully

🚫 hack - unprofessional, buggy and possibly illegal

An apt metaphor: we’re the win95 home pirates that get every company to buy an official license

Emperor Dom Pedro II of Brazil comes to mind. Brazil immediately became an empire after it got its independence (thanks to the then Portuguese prince Dom Pedro I, who quit the job to become king of Portugal when the chance showed up)
