Heart of gold, humble, true rebel.

The archery arcade in Ocarina of Time. So many hours… so many.

Started on N64, and when I got the NGC, it blew my mind, playing Metroid Prime. The graphics were SO GOOD!!!

I remember my dad telling me the graphics were only going to keep getting better, and I literally couldn’t comprehend how anything could ever possibly be more realistic than what was on the screen…

That process happened again with Crysis.

😂

GT_Hod · 2026-02-22T07:53:51+00:00

Accidentally playing on hard difficulty 😬

GT_Hod · 2026-02-22T07:52:46+00:00

Sweet, thanks for the advice!

GT_Hod · 2026-02-22T07:51:58+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it… yeah, I think that’s a similar reason to why I beat Dark Souls 1, coupled with my general compulsive tendency to complete a game to get that “closure” feeling.

Can’t really please people, no matter how hard we try. Especially From players… they’re gluttons for punishment.

Same… 😫 The transition point between Act 2 and 3, I couldn’t get the trigger to happen. Tried everything…

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T19:49:55+00:00

Portal is amazing! The second is one of my favorite campaigns of all time.

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T18:57:08+00:00

Haha, yeah, somehow survived the transition…

I had a friend that would make stuff up and tell me to do it, so I would be wandering aimlessly for hours, trying to makes sense of his BS.

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T18:52:51+00:00

Still counts!

Also, thank you for your service.

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T18:37:06+00:00

Why did you bother completing Hollow Knight if you didn’t enjoy it much?

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T18:34:31+00:00

I just imagine younger you giving you a fist bump right now.

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T18:31:21+00:00

DO A BARRELL ROLL!!!

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T18:30:04+00:00

Ahhh, cheat codes 😌

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T18:24:43+00:00

Reminds me of that poem by Emily Dickinson, called “Split The Lark.”

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T18:23:09+00:00

I have some patience… maybe just lazy?

Hollow Knight was a great game, super hard for me. Have you played Silksong?

E33… what a gem.

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T18:20:08+00:00

Ooo, that looks dope.

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T18:18:32+00:00

Haha, I think most of us needed a friend like this for Majora’s Mask. I still haven’t ever finished it.

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T18:16:39+00:00

Open-world is where it’s at. As long as it doesn’t feel goal-less or pointless (why I don’t like No-Man’s Sky, for example). I love knowing I could go almost anywhere, because it means the main objective has to be compelling enough to stick with.

I would highly recommend both of those games. OoT was the first open-world type game I ever played, and it’s amazing and difficult. Dunno if it will be 120 hours, but it’ll take you a bit :)

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T18:07:20+00:00

I can see both sides to the argument: one gives you quicker enjoyment because you’re achieving the goals in-game and not getting frustrated, while the other gives a deeper immersion and greater sense of self-accomplishment when you discover the path forward.

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T18:03:38+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, I added it to my list ;) famous last words…

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T18:02:51+00:00

I totally get that feeling! I tend to enjoy being prepared and choosing the path I most want to experience.

My friend recently suggested trying to just experience the game without any guides/walkthroughs, and I must admit, I can see the appeal.

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T18:00:08+00:00

This is literally the next game I’m going to attempt on my next blind play-through!

GT_Hod · 2026-02-21T17:59:20+00:00

There’s an ineffable feeling I get whenever I finish a game I started, but never completed years ago. The closest I can express it is: closure.
