For me it's Diablo II. Granted I've played my fair share of D2 since launch, and also recently on a private server with a comrade from hexbear, but I still feel like years later the game didn't grab me as much as D1 did.

Granted I don't hate D2, but for a game that I keep coming back to, D1 takes the prize.

I've played a ton of Sims 4 but I hate almost everything about it except that it has group conversations. 2 and 3 are amazing games.

the saddest, most depressing thing about the sims is that ultimately the community just... laps it up. sims 4 is eternal now because its the most lucrative and popular the sims has ever been.

the upswing is that i like paralives' artstyle.

Yeah ngl I'm no exception I buy every bit of DLC out of compulsivity. Even though I havent played in over a year. Its bad. Youre totally right though.

[–] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

To be clear, no judgement there. I spend DLC money on paradox games, when I can. I'm just too poor for sims.

(the dlc can always be pirated if you don't wanna/can't spend money on it.)

I just pirate them lol. fuck EA. I wouldn't have paid money for this slop anyways.

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

the dlc is easily pirated! (not to tell you how to live your life, just in case you didn't know)

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Can you pirate the dlc "onto" a legitimate purchase or would i have to pirate everything?

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

i just nabbed everything but i believe it should work the way you describe as well. searching "cs.rin.ru sims 4" should take you where you need to go.

When the corpos declared "no Sims 5, Sims 4 forever and ever" when that isn't even the best designed of the Sims sequels by far...

They're also currently running one of my least favorite thing, a FOMO event. Its all actually like, free. Its not a battlepass (for now, lol). But I still hate the feeling of being FORCED to play a game I dont really feel like playing right now out of fear of missing stuff.

They also had a login bonus event a few months ago but at least all that required me to do was open the launcher like 6 times in the space of a month.

I hate FOMO pressure and I often quit games that push it too hard so I can break the toxic forced habit-forming they're pressuring me into.

[–] TechnoUnionTypeBeat@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It took me being physically unable to play Destiny 2 for several months due to hip surgery to break the FOMO that game instilled in me. I thought I was stronger but damn do they know how to prey on the neurodivergent

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

I will always hate the treat defender take that "well this doesn't bother me and I don't have a problem with it so it shouldn't affect anyone else unless they're weak-willed" or some passive-aggressive lowkey calipers like that.

Hexbear was infested with that during the struggle session against international corporate sports gambling apps.
