Is it the one you are looking for because I was co-playing as you. Since you post it, must be.
No, I don't personally like any of that stuff.

I was kinda confused by what you were doing, I think you did a fair job mocking me at my finest, but it was kind of extreme and I missed it. In the past I sorta enjoyed quick romps around stuff like team fortress which the dwarf in space game is kind of a rip off of. Not what I am looking for. The potty humar is funny for 30 secs or so every 5 minutes but I can't watch those videos really.

2 of those are MMORPGs and the other is a let-me-down rpg that has been out for 8 years with no sequel as studios milk things now, inspired by MMORPGs. Failure to recognize them as their own thing and only see the $$$, they are rewarded as players on console dig that. PC players now as well since they are the same now.
No on ESO, the genre is a joke these days aimed at a different audience. There are no games aimed at 30 somethings like there was when I was 18, and that audience had different tastes than these guys.

Yeah I absolutely agree. I don't think Outwards or even new games coming out in the next 15 years at least will carry any kind of real deep connection with adults or mature themes that haven't been watered down to be PG or PG13 or some kind of polotik (skyrim nords vs imperials) with some extra ketchup. I wonder if there's some government influence there. A lot of themes are 'too dark to explore' (not the crazy stuff you were mocking me about earlier). There's still the survival horror genre, but that for me is kind of almost the opposite direction to far. Like Zombies. Everywhere. For almost no reason. And terrible AI on purpose so people dont get fustrated and quit.

I don't blame you it burns my eyes out, even with tile sets, I almost prefer without, still you have to become an autistic computer and then do a fair bit of imagination and writing to really get into it, not saying you can't but it requires an immense effort to enjoy rather than be an academic dive into an absolute marvel of engineering and options and meta-gaming -emergent- quirks.
Even Skyrim kind of ruined ES and Vampires for me. It's more of an arcade game with a bit of story and a few unique art assets, the dungeons require an overmind, mazelike kind of perception to really appreciate, the wall textures are the same everywhere. And to find the truly unique and special stuff requires 80+ hrs of digging around in the dark boring sameness of a very quick production cycle designed to create $$$, it's definately a kids game in many regards.
I once drew back a 60lb composite bow string, so I know what I am missing if I run around chasing deer in skyrim to make leather armor.

Yep, I know dark souls. Dark souls hard, is there arts and crafts in dark souls even sorta kinda a little bit?

I should probably pick up a good book instead or start coloring in this color in the lines thing for mindfulness etc. I'm not going to dig at the people who really get a lot out of these coloring books.

I read Contact by Carl Sagan, and that was a pure trip of delicious golden age thought programming. Felt amazing. I almost converted completely.

eq in some ways is just a digital form of morphine for me, perhaps it's better to stick with it rather than look for another fix, or get some perspective. U know how I feel about morphine et al tho. In some cases it's kind of a necessary evil.
See I didn't mean to have an existential crisis, I should give outwards a try and just report back.
