I'm wondering if anyone out there plays games the same way I do. Most people approach the hobby normally like play a few games on rotation with friends or to pass the time. What I do is play hundreds of games to completion then for some reason memorise each and every one, learn about all the differences between the ports, the game engine tech it runs on, all the bugs and speed running strats and index it in my head for instant recall.

Why I'm like this I do not know, something to do with making soul reaver my personality when I was a kid which was funny cos nobody knew wtf i was talking about cos other kids were playing gta and lego games.

Any other oddballs like me?

Same, I will get into a game and just keep going until I’m bored or if I didn’t like it, beat the final boss and never open it up again.

For example I just beat Pokemon Sword and the story was meh, but a lot of it was boring and reeked of the expectation you would buy the DLC. Making curry was kind of fun the first couple times and felt like genuinely good worldbuilding to see non-pokemon centered things in the Pokémon world, but then they added whipped cream to curry. Fuck that I’ll just juggle between coconut curry and potato curry like a normal person.
