Gaming

I tend to prefer indie games, cult classic series like armored core, and a few big mainstream titles like Mario kart and breath of the wild. How much time I put into games depends not on what "kind" of gamer I am so much as whether I need more out of it. I've only played Undertale twice through, but it had a big impact on me and at the end I had enough to take with me. If I feel like I've lost those impressions I might go back to that well after a long while. Right now I'm going back to a few of my old PS2 games to see if there's more for me to draw from them. They're like old books you reread with new eyes.

On the other hand I've put hundreds of hours into darkest dungeon and slay the spire, and I'll probably continue until I've gotten to a point where I feel like I've overcome my limitations in a meaningful way. Those games are about dynamic challenges and perseverance at any cost, which resonates with me on a deeper level.

Games are art, or should try to be, and how long you spend with them depends on your relationship with them.
