when I was in middle school I racked up over half a YEAR playtime in Minecraft and gave myself carpel tunnel. I only played Minecraft 1.8.9 which was at least 10 versions out of date by that point. I never even made anything I just played on Hypixel.
I did get full superior dragon armor in Hypixel Skyblock by spotting that you could buy a fish for 2 coins but sell it for like 20 coins if you craft it into bait because people are lazy. So I bought and sold millions of fish 2,500 at a time.
I later found that you could just craft dragon armor using shards and sell them on the auction house for about 100k profit and made BANK before other people caught on.
I loved finding those little market loopholes. Sad that nerds eventually caught on and made websites to automate it, and that the game went pay to win. Those were some good times though.
also hot take but dwarvern mines ruined the game. It’s “SKYblock” not “infinite land block”
Man, all y’all playing games people have heard of. Filthy casuals with your “Warframe”, “Runescape”, “Minecraft”, “TF2” and “Diablo”.
I, a true connoisseur, personally spent my childhood sinking over 2000 hours into Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (not to be confused with the far more popular and lauded Final Fantasy Tactics). It’s the only Final Fantasy game I know of that has never been rereleased. The other game of my childhood was over 200 hours in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. The first video game I can remember playing was Final Fantasy II.
Okay but The Minish Cap is a straight up banger so I’d say it balances out
Oh, absolutely, it’s just generally regarded as among the lower-tiers of the franchise. Those reviewers clearly lack refined taste.
I llke how you make fun of people for liking mainstream games, and then proceed to list off some of the most mainstream games ever that you so happen to like.
I think they were joking.
Yeah I think so too.
Let the record reflect that the above comment was facetious in its tone when it “made fun of” people, as I attempted to make clear with the meme “filthy casuals”.
As far as FFTA, while I, personally, think FFTA was an excellent game, in the first listing I could find that even acknowledged its existence, it is ranked above only two of the eight non-mainline games. It is completely forgotten by the vast majority of online discourse, and is not looked on favourably compared to other games in the franchise.
The first game I played (FFII) is, generally, regarded as one of the worst, if not the worst, FF games ever made, to the point of being famously unplayable.
Meanwhile, the Minish Cap is listed here by metacritic as being approximately 3/4 of the way down the list among the lower-tier entries in the franchise, below even phantom hourglass and the oracle games.
Let us consider, then, the games I was comparing them to:
Minecraft is one of the top-selling games of all time, Runescape has been continually played for so long that old-school run escape currently has over 100000 players online. Right now.
TF2 is the constant source of popular internet memes, and has over 45000 active players right now on steam
Are you seriously suggesting these compare to the least-loved of these other franchises?
The point of the post is to discuss the bad games into which you sunk hundreds of hours, not just list Minecraft, Civilization, and Team Fortress 2, some of the most well-beloved games of all time.
God I loved Tactics Advance so much. You know there was a DS sequel? Looks badass, I’m concerned I’ll just ruin the magic memories.
Yeah, but even I thought that the sequel didn’t look good in terms of crunchiness. I liked how there were thousands of different options for team load out and equipment and abilities in the original, but it seemed like they streamlined it for FFTA2. Also, it seemed like it retconned some of the back story of the original, which made me not want to play it.
I never gave it a chance, then.
please play dwarf fortress.

Now that makes me feel old. I played a bunch of minecraft, but abruptly stopped and never went back. When i played the beat gear you could have was diamond armor and diamond sword. The other day i randomly watched. a minecraft video and was like: what’s all this?
If you played Minecraft then you’re not old.
Minecraft became popular when I was a 12. How old am I?
spoiler
Take the year and substract 2000. Thats the answer
Idk, i showed my friends mom minecraft at the time and she played around 100 hours. She’s 75 now
Some of the new stuff is actually kinda nice though, and the newer music is a whole vibe. That being said I’m playing gtnh which is like… 1.8 heavily modded with some newer stuff backported.
I mean… Diamond is still the 2nd best and the newat teir is still fairly new.
Majority of the new stuff they’ve added is just new blocks to build with.
But ypu can enchant stuff? And tgere is a boss at the end.
Oh shit okay yeah if you stopped play waaaaay back before then end was added then I can def see the confusion.
Enchanting and the ender dragon have been in the game for so long that even they are considered fairly ancient features.
Gonna toss this in here cause it is a little known game that I have heard described as a glue trap for autism (and I am a stuck rat with 3000 hours).

If you like creature collectors and putting together broken builds with an insane number of moving parts a la magic the gathering you will probably enjoy it.
Oh no. This game is dangerous to me, i can already tell.
If you enjoy games you can farm infinitely, theory crafting builds that make it so your NPC opponents don’t get to play the game you paid for, making meme builds a reality, and collecting a bunch of lil guys it is going to be so dangerous.
It also has built in randomized and challenge modes.
Hey EYE Devine Cybermancy isn’t just the worst, it’s also the best.
My legs are okay!
Another third of life goes into the worst sleep too 😅
Me and Fractal Block World for a while. Might get back into it again.
I’ve played Wazhack so much. Is it pretty? Not really. Does it have bugs? Yes. Have I played a ton on the website, bought the website version, bought it so long ago was sent a steam code, and now have way too many hours on the steam version. I love it. I go back to it.
I played Rappelz. I played Rappelz off and on through 2014. (US servers, the Korean ones were way too hardcore for me)
Mine was Wurm Online. Loved my community of weirdos there, even the drama.
Me playing Donkey Kong Land 3 over and over and over and over and over and
Is this why I have thousands of hours in Harvest Moon 64?

the worst part of hyperfixating on a really niche game is no one knows wtf youre talking about when you finally have a chance to info dump about it
But they need to know where the highest point in each level of Bubsy 3D is!
Just add another layer to the info dump!
