  • I agree with lots of what’s already been said and haven’t got much to add to those extant conversations, so let me try to add in some that I’ve not seen:

    RuneScape is a candidate. I started way back with RS Classic (the sprite-based one!).

    Oh, and Dwarf Fortress too. That began in 2009.

    Achaea and/or Lusternia are way up there but I don’t imagine anyone but me can share the experience.

    Oh, as well, Mount & Blade: Warband. Quite the adventure(s).

    I don’t really game anymore. But this thread did dredge up some memories, old and new.

    Thank you.







  • I was just the right demographic and everything for Halo. Had an Xbox. Had the game. Had 4 brothers to couch co-op with. Was a weird backwards military-obsessed family.

    Played it a bunch. A BUNCH. But while I enjoyed it, it didn’t really leave any kind of impression. I thought its story was shallow and its characters unremarkable caricatures even at age 13. Years later when I saw people going on about how DEEP its world-building was and how BADASS Master Chief was and how ICONIC the game was I was just kinda…nonplussed? Whole game was just mediocre to me. I mean, that’s not to say I didn’t like it or whatever, but it wasn’t groundbreaking for me the way it was for (apparently) many others.

    Make of that what you wish!

    The idea behind identifying as non-binary is just to frame your personal identity in terms that others are more familiar with.

    Nonbinary people recognize that most others view sex (or more specifically gender) in binary terms and use that framework as a scaffold to help others understand.

    Sure, there’s an aspect of “master’s tools cannot destroy the master’s house” but at least they’re trying to meet others halfway. Why aren’t you?
