2 picks for me: Stardew Valley, most boring shit ever, I don't see the appeal, seriously how the hell did that thing sold 20 million copies?

And Witcher 3, I own that game since 2019 and I regret buying it, funny thing is that I've finished Dragon Age 1 and 2, which are kinda same genre but I actually enjoyed those games. I guess the old BioWare sauce carried those games unlike Witcher where there's nothing to enjoy in its massive pointless world.

They came from a different era. If you didn't grow up taking long road trips with a Gameboy pocket/color for your only distraction then you probably don't get the nostalgia rush that most pmon fans do.

I was born in 1977. I had a Gameboy. I just never cared for Pokemon.

I played Red/Blue as a kid. Enjoyed the crap out of them. And then never played any of the later games ever. I think if I tried now I'd feel the same as you.

A significant number of pokemon fans had to make do with emulating the original gameboy games on the family computer. I know I did

Exactly right. We spent hours and hours in a Ford van playing Pokemon red/yellow/blue in the 90s 😂
