People don't strictly want to play games as much as they want to experience alternate realities
That’s a very sweeping statement to make about a very large number of unrelated people. I happen to be a gamer and your statement doesn’t describe my wishes or experiences very well at all!
I’d much rather play a game of NetHack than some new ultra-realistic PS5 game. I’m not the only one who feels this way. There a ton of other people like me. People who enjoy retro games, puzzle games, point and click adventure games, RPGs, strategy games, and countless other games that aren’t focused on immersive graphics or realistic simulations.
- condwanaland 2y agoAlways thrilled to see another nethack player in the wild! Been playing on and off for 20 years and have only managed a single ascension in that time!
- chongli 2y agoThat’s awesome! I have been playing off and on since 2009! If you haven’t heard of it, check out The November NetHack Tournament [1]. I played it for the first time in November of last year and almost got a Wizard win (ran out of time) after getting so close with a Monk (got killed by Rodney’s touch of death after he stole my only source of magic resistance). I’m looking forward to playing again this year! [1] https://tnnt.org/ https://tnnt.org/
