also like when I say I mostly play old games it’s not bc of, like, an elitist thing, it’s bc new games are way less accessible to me. turn based games and simulators just aren’t the big thing anymore and a lot of the most popular genres are stuff i physically hurt from playing. like, for context, i can play one single round of mario party and then I can’t use my hands properly for hours. the only fast paced game i play is isaac and there’s items in that i can’t fucking use bc the way they alter my controls physically causes me pain. i physically cannot play the games coming out today. they cause me severe pain that makes it impossible for me to do anything afterwards. of course there are exceptions but the time where turn based games were big is gone, and so i can play maybe a few major titles each year if i'm lucky. and even a lot of rpgs now have timing elements which again i physically struggle with! i haven’t beat legends Arceus bc the boss battles and catching Pokémon in it causes me physical pain and that’s like, not even that involved.
so that means the majority of what i can play, physically, without causing intense pain (as in, “comparable to an ear infection”- i'm recovering from one and it wasn’t as painful as some of my worst days!), are either indie titles, small studios in niches like text adventure and simulators, and stuff like Pokemon and sims. i feel sad sometimes when i see people really get into games i can’t play, because there’s just so much cool stuff that is still not worth me harming myself to go through, and i wish I could :(

worst thing about free time is deciding what to do with it. it is a travesty that it is impossible to knit, draw, write, read, watch a movie, listen to podcasts, and play a video game all at the same time
