It's like he hasn't heard a word

I wonder what makes some of us like this. Is it eye color? Just duration of use? My partner uses the brightest setting on her phone and I use the most dim. I bought a nice gaming monitor years ago but I have it at 5% brightness and with all dark settings on everything so it kinda renders a big point of it useless to me.

What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)?

I remember even back then that the amount of people playing was the issue. It had this "fragile alliance" mode where you all would do a heist, collecting money as you went. The players with the most money "won" by the end. You could turn on your allies and try to take theirs and get to the getaway, but you could also not and then split everything 50/50 from all who make it to the getaway. Pretty sure you could even bribe the driver/pilot with a 50/50 offer to leave early and abandon everyone else. Or something like that. It was a lot of fun and certainly unique in its time. I actually got inspired and just found a video. Good times.

Day 702 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

I have a friend who got into owning a chain business location. They don't want kids (nor do I so no judgement), so he would spend months at a time gaming. It was a bit cool and a bit sad, only because he used to be more active. The area he lived in to do this was super undesirable and other towns were an hour-plus away. I'm talking gaming from eyes open to eyes closed with the small breaks to crunch some numbers.

I also gamed obscenely when I was young. I don't miss the long duration but I do miss the eagerness for each new experience that I think came from gaming as thing rapidly got better.
