Gaming Confessions

Post Reply New Topic

Okay, this is a REAL gaming confession.

Despite having a Zelda avatar, I have never played through an entire Zelda game. I only played majora’s mask and I gave up because it was too hard for me.

I have watched some gameplay of Zelda games, and I am reading the Twilight Princess manga.

^^ If you want to play them again at some point, you could use a walkthrough/guide.

I mostly play "stupid" games on my phone these days while having a massive Steam library that I can't seem to bring myself to touch despite still spending money on it. Can't quite figure that one out.

When I played the first Command and Conquer game back in 1995 I used the sandbag exploit a lot. Basically you could run a line of sandbags across the map and use proximity to then set up pillboxes or whatever. I think you could even sandbag the enemy into their own base and the AI couldn't figure out how to get around it. The game was still really good fun even when you were cheating.

Most of my gaming interests are either driven by problem solving (which is entirely basic as a human), or stories I get fixated over to a point that it follows me to my sleep...

Not that I truly cared about it, it's just my head.
To a point I lose sleep over it when I should be doing something else.

It did not cultivate patience in my case. Emulation made it worse. I'm very prone to a form of addiction.

Just mostly going point A to B, regardless of how. No exploration except for anything story driven for completion sake.

Nothing technical or meta, to a point that I'd suck at strategy games because my head has this stupid idea of 'do this action, because that's how or how it likely happened' to a point of detriment.

Oh, and my reaction time sucks that I just hate it.



Maybe I should swear off anything related to story related for a while, see what happens in few years after.

I was just in World of Warcraft Classic. I was waiting for a ship to take me to a destination. Another player was present, and waved. I waved. Then I received a Friend Request.
I promptly logged out. Anxiety.
After logging out, the Battlenet launch screen had a notification that "such'n'such" requested a friends request.
More anxiety. And now I have to stare at that request and think I'll offend them if I respond "no." It's times like this I wish I was more Jessica Fletcher on Murder, She Wrote. She genuinely has the best social skills. Granted she is fictional.
I'll wait several days until I have gained some distance and click no. But part of me will wonder what if I had a friend in-game? Then I counter that with panic.
