I spend a very large chunk of my time playing video games and I think I've found a couple of favorites? I find myself drawn to indie games more than anything I think, open worlds and polygons are for nerds. Give me the most meaningful narrative driven game and my ass will always come back to my comfy 2d platformers yunno? I'm also partial to the genre of Games I Can Be An Encyclopedia For. It's really fun knowing a game inside and out, a minor pastime of mine is typing not-asked-for textwalls in the Celeste discord. Infodumping is great. Anyway. Here's a bunch of games that I hyperfixate on from time to time, and also just games I otherwise have words to say about.
I'm so normal about Celeste. I've got 3300 hours in this game, which you wouldn't think is possible from a 2d platformer but mods just bust the game wiiiiiiide open. I do a lot of making and playing maps, but I also do deathless runs and even recently TASing! Celeste is not a complex game on the surface
but there's so much nuance in almost every corner of the movement, and I endlessly keep finding things to do. Look at all these links over here if you want more specifics on my stuff!
The Binding of Isaac is a really good roguelike that's just, big. Like it's stupid difficult to run out of content in this game. There's like 700 items that all interact with each other, 34 characters that all play differently, and 12 final bosses to kill with every character individually. It's a massive
checklist, but I'm a massive checklist kind of person amd theres so much variety in the game that it never gets boring. I've 100%'d this game once and I'm on my way to a second, and I even made a spreadsheet to track my progress! Look at it!
