and why?

    i would reject outright the very idea of immortality.

    for if one considers the implications of actually existing…forever,

    it would not be a blessing

    but a curse.

      Please do not misunderstand my question, I’m not judging whatsoever but I’m genuinely curious what the appeal is of this game. I bought it when I came out, I recently redownloaded it, I played for probably 20 hours total and I just don’t get it. Is it the absurdity? I want to love it I just don’t understand it. I’ve been meaning to ask in the Discords but I’m a bit of a coward.

        I mostly play JRPGs so I was in the same boat as you a while ago, I got to like the game after my girlfriend fell in love with it, making versions of the people you know and then overseeing their actions and the whackiness that ensues is pretty fun.

    Wait, so like, do we just play the game forever? Or are we actually going into the game world?

    Can we break the boundaries of the game mechanics since we’re now “inside” it? Or are we still limited to what the game lets us do?

    I posted in the other thread - Elite Dangerous, but the version with all the options the players have asked for for a decade. Sandbox play where I can fly wherever, do some exploring and trading, maybe a bit of combat (because players don’t die as long as they have an account balance).

    Clearly the only correct answer is dead or alive extreme beach volleyball.

    Buncha queers in here or something SMH.

    Sarcastic Response - one of the GTA Games. Preferably GTA4 for my own 2000s nostalgia reasons. Why? Because its the closest thing to life as we knew it before real life started surpassing the absurdity of the GTA Universe

    Serious Response - I cant think of any one game I’d want to spend an eternity in right now, so I’ll cop out with an “MMO”. Probably Second Life. Yeah its full of freaks but you can create stuff and interact with people. Excuse me while I retire into my doom fortress on the original “metaverse”

    I am way outside if the age demographic but it’s so cute. If not that, probably Cyperpunk.

        Not only that, but the sky islands are gorgeous, and you have access to tons of cool machine parts.

        I would be perfectly content living through eternity in the comfort of Hateno Village
