    Weird shit you did as a kid go:

    I got y’all beat. (No pun intended)

    Too scared to look up porn. Thinking I’d be caught. Ended up knocking over peasants in one of the early assassins creed games and rubbing my pants furiously when their underwear would show.

    I recently reopened Witcher 3, and was kind of surprised by how the graphics aren’t as lifelike as my memory. I remember being a lot more impressed by the bodies when it was new.

      I felt the same way about this and GTA 5 when i tried replaying it earlier this year just to see what I remembered. Last time I played it was on its original release date on the ps3. Don’t get me wrong, they both look great, but yeah the character models are definitely dated and on the simpler side compared to today.

    …Does hurling slurs and insults at Elon’s twitter account, right after he accidentally bought it, and then being banned from Twitter … mostly likely directly by Elon, because he’d fired or locked out all the moderators at that point… does that count as a ‘gamer moment’?

    Its the actual only thing I’ve ever used Twitter for.

    … Twitter is a really shitty MMO, right?

    I have my greatest gaming moment on video!

    I managed to land Valentina on the Mun in Kerbal Space Program only due to the game’s insane physics simulation and a well timed explosion right in front of her slowing her down JUST ENOUGH to not die upon hitting the ground.

    https://youtu.be/v2CdIZXO0tQ

    It’s the entire mission from launch to landing, so I’d skip to around the 23/24 minute mark for the good part.

    I still haven’t gotten her off the Mun and back to Kerbal… 🥺

      I disticntly recall how I found out about the “hot coffee” mode - dear old dad was having a moral panic about me owning the game, because he had heard of this Hot Coffee mod that would make the characters naked or some such thing.

      I gently had to explain to dad: “You do know I’m 24, right? I have conplete unfettered access to the internet connection in my house that I pay for myself, and have you noticed there is a nice young woman who comes over all the time? The one standing over there trying not to laugh? She takes her clothes off too.”

      I never bothered to figure out how to unlock it. I have the steam version now, can it be patched too?

        I bet it could be patched by I hadn’t checked in forever. It’s actually more than nudity, though- it’s like a sex minigame attached to the dating mechanics. You can see why it was dummies out, lol

    Oof where to begin. Night elf guard lady NPCs. The anaphomorphic bunny lady with the crotch curtain in final fantasy, dont remember which one. Vampire the masquerade: bloodlines, Velvet the toreador at Vesuvius. Jeanette the Makavian. If you waited long enough in dialogue they would start looking around and then spring back, causing a boob shake.

      I just started that one, after finishing the first one and immediately jumping into my second play through. I’m not very far in so far but wow, it’s already looking like an amazing sequel for a first game I’d already describe as flawless. Like I got so used to the first one that the early game seemed almost trivial in that second play through but silksong’s enemies don’t follow the same patterns and are able to hit me pretty regularly. And both games are filled with this strange bleak charm.

        theyre some of the most somber games to exist and they’re so soothing.

        like their hardest levels are downright peaceful despite how brutal they are because they makes the repetition of dying over and over so relaxing.

        the first game made me emotional when i was still in school and silksong made me emotional last yesr and shfjrkdhrjtkekje 🥺

          I’m gushing a bit about the games and that part of me thought they might be the best games I’ve ever played and the other part of me that would normally say hold up a second is having trouble coming up with any strong contenders. Subnautica maybe. Metroid Prime, if the controls were better. Hades would make the top list but wouldn’t top them. Ori rivals it for beauty and atmosphere but not controls and combat; it’s not even close there (though it’s possible I just need to get farther in to really appreciate Ori).

    For me it was basically gaming itself in the 2000-2010. There was a really strong sense of communities and private servers all doing their thing, which for you felt like home. Especially counter-strike 1.6. Nowadays it’s just centralized boring mess where people care about ranking and seemingly half play for gambling. The online gaming is dead to me, I’ve been only playing SP/Offline games for like 10 years now.
