What game do you wish you got into as a kid? (leminal.space)

Mine are Half Life and Morrowind.

I feel like back when I didn't have a massive game library I would have spent so much time replaying Half Life and exploring every inch of the maps and trying to find exploits to break the game. The massive modding community likely would have kept me playing for years.

Morrowind probably would have gotten me a lot more into RPGs and fantasy games. I do love RPGs but still struggle to immerse myself in fantasy settings. I assume this is because I mostly played SciFi games growing up.

What about you? Is there an MMO or something you maybe tried and gave up on to soon?

I played SWG as a kid, and I can tell you that it sucked. I think it would have been more fun if I'd played it as an adult.

A girl who have me a spork told me how her friend played the game and he was a hair dresser in game and once watched a battle between two jedi, when I asked her if I could be a chef in game.

I might have liked it, back then, but my tolerance for things was very high. Paying for a subscription was very veery low, being a young teen.

I've read this a few times and my brain just cant process what you're saying. Do you write for Eric Andre?

I do not write for Eric Andre, but it sounds fun.

I am recounting an event that happened when Star Wars Galaxies was around.

A friends of mine comes to me and we start talking about Star Wars Galaxies. She tells me about her friend who plays, and the character he has who is a non combatant because I ask if I could be a chef or any other non combatant role. She says I can, using her friend as an example. She gives me the gift of a spork. Because we're teenage girls and it's random times.

I then explain I wouldn't mind if the game is grindy or slow because my tolerance for that as a teenager was very high. But my ability to play the game at the time is hampered by my lack of money so I can't pay the monthly fees. Or buy the game. Because I'm a kid.
