Honestly both! I like pixel games and was hoping for a few games similar to VS

I'm a bug enthusiast, so insect specific subreddits like r/moth r/weevil r/entomology

Game ones for all my random niche games I like.

But also I have a lot of health problems so going to those specific subs with my specific problem and knowing I'm not crazy felt really liberating. I know there's a new disability thing on here, but collectively being in a community with the people who have my specific problem made me feel less alone.

This is only one of two games I like dying in. The HUAGHHH when you respawn and the fire boosh is just so good

You got me at atmospheric. Instantly sold.

There is nothing quite so delicious as a well made 8bit soundtrack while your pixels hit other pixels

Eyyy same for NMS. I generally just like to run around and screen shot stuff

My first time playing no mans sky and finding out you get to fly around the solar system. I love how infinite the game is even if its a little repetitive

Hard pass. If I cannot block someone harassing me that's it. Thank God I already don't have the problem of using Twitter to begin with

Oh god yes. I literally check every single urn in every dungeon, grab every mushroom or plant, check every shelf. It's like this goblin comes out of me playing TES

I would not do mods your first play-through. However, what I would recommend, is just doing whatever it is you feel like doing when you play. See a cave you want to walk into? Do it. Did you get assigned a new quest that looks more interesting than the one you're doing? Hop on it. Don't let certain storylines drag you down if you don't enjoy them.

I have a few, Skyrim is my biggest one. I basically maladaptive daydream Skyrim. If I'm feeling bad I play through it in my head. Some others are No Mans Sky, Vampire Survivors, and generally pixel games are always really comforting to me. I also like to go back and play dragon fable sometimes when I need some nostalgia.
