    This is me saving other civilians in This War of Mine since I can’t save anyone in a real war zone.

    I started Conan exiles with a buddy recently, it’s pretty dope, actually, it’s like an ark survival evolved but an order of magnitude less shitty (with a few caveats).

    Edit: nvm I looked it up and it’s from 2018, feels a lot older, it’s really fun tho

    I would say this is all about Skyrim, but I do think that game still is very popular today

    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.

      They probably posted it here specifically because they knew people would find it relatable, actually.

      I think it was more about the getting goals done in a game instead of real life, and the 10 years was tacked on because some people do like to keep up on the newer games.

            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.

              You’re the only one here interpreting this that way. Like I can’t tell if you’re an actual human or if you’re a bot powered by ChatGPT that didn’t correctly process the content of the image.

      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.

        Encouraging people to be themselves and not determine their worth based on the age of the games they play? Yes. People are more than this. It’s sad as hell to put yourself down just because the game is old.

          It’s a joke. I chuckled. I don’t think anyone is putting themselves down due to seeing it. The joke works even if you take out the age of the game.

          You’ve come across aggressive and with the intent to put the poster down. So… That’s not very nice of you?

            But I’m here saying that the age of the game doesn’t matter and that it doesn’t make them a loser like they imply

              Where does it imply loser? It’s a light self deprecating joke. I recall making the same digs at myself because my Sims 3 character was doing really well and I felt like I was living vicariously through them. The age of the game is a fraction of the joke. Do you get this agitated when people joke in real life around you?

        I am totally going to borrow this reply, though usually it’s not true; the choice to be cruel and bitter typically a subconscious need to lash out.

    *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).

      The real-life mission system is totally broken. I’ve accomplished tons of goals and the rewards usually don’t even trigger, at all.

        Plus the classes are ridiculously unbalanced! “Billionaire” and “loud religious idiot” need to be nerfed yesterday! Don’t even get me started on how game breaking playing a hybrid of those is!

          Billionaire ain’t a class, it’s just an unpatched exploit. It’s really easy to pull if you already have at least some millions lying around.

      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”.

      Nah. Older games are often less fancy, so gameplay and execution need to carry. Time culls the mediocre, leaving only the memorable behind.
