i'm so sorry for how long this is going to be. i actually didn't play any video games as a kid and only got into them as an adult during lockdown, so in terms of scope or anything i'm pretty green and limited to the selection at my library . if you have any recs i'd love to hear them!

rn i've been replaying bloodborne and every time i play i always just marvel at how gorgeous and... rich? the art design is on that game. the combat is always fun but i love to like... clear enemies in a small select area and then just take a walk and look at stuff. i haven't really played other fromsoftware games yet apart from a couple of attempts at getting into demon souls, but when I have the opportunity i'd like to try elden ring and sekiro. i know aire/@mountainsaire said they had a minsung bloodborne au that they were working on and i think about the idea of that whenever i want to go a little insane.

my comfort games are link to the past and secret of mana. basically any 16-bit era game with music that fucking slaps, but those two reign supreme for me.

other faves include:
-fallout new vegas (i'm also of the unpopular opinion that fallout 4 is fun! like yeah the main storyline is disappointing, but i always enjoy myself with side quests/encounters/companions)
-the outer worlds (fun fact: i played this before any fallout games at all and became an obsidian hoe before I even knew bethesda existed)
-bioshock (i'm one of the few that LOVES the combat in bioshock 2 and infinite, but the story in infinite is such a mess imo and executed so clumsily that i find it hard to replay, even though i also like the art design).

i don't really have any au plans for any of them. tho an outer worlds au would go SO hard imo. something about the groundbreaker being a casablanca-eque neutral space is so interesting to me. like. idk. outlaw minho and back bays orphan jisung meeting on a space station. i think that has potential.
