BLUF: Agreed. Games don't need realism to be fun. They need fun to be fun.

Aside from obvious genres like simulators, horror, or other niche games, graphics don't, and shouldn't be, the main focus of a game.

It could just be plain fun. I'd prefer games with a bunch of sandbox niche mechanics than seeing a tree in 4k upscale. Like Noita or Terraria.

Or a deep story. The original Talos Principle was alright on its graphics at the time, but it prioritized the story and puzzles. It was a fundamental game that shaped many of the philosophies I hold still today.

Graphics can be important, but I'd also prefer stylized over realistic any day. That's why some of the older games still hold up today, graphically.

Wind Waker, the old 3d mario games, Bioshock, Oblivion (terrain, not people lol)

All had really really solid art. And it still looks good. Because it didn't try to push the limits on making the game look real.

Back when Modern Warfare 2 released on the 360, I saw little dust clouds, and thought that it was the greatest game for realism ever at the time. The graphics were so good. Going back? Dogwater.

Reminds me of the Wigglers from Super Mario Sunshine

Foxhole. War 115.

Just wish I had a good team to play with.

That was such a clear, concise, mostly unbiased statement for a heavily political statement. Bravo.

Cesspits were cleaned out by tradesmen known in the UK as gongfermors using shovels and horse-drawn wagons. Cesspools were cleaned only at night, to reduce the smell and annoyance to the public. The typical cesspit was cleaned out once every 8 to 10 years.

I only really need it to manage my travel, which I could do elsewhere I suppose. Flights and Ubers. I guess I could call a taxi instead though, so really just flights.

I use it to call the old lady when I'm away, but, again, isn't a necessary thing.

Managing my expenses are really a big thing I do, because who doesn't do online banking these days.

But if I had to, pencil and paper would work, as annoying as it is.

So yeah. Really just flights.

Their talons are wicked too. Got me as w Child and now I have scars across my cheeks.

Theyre extremely faint now, but if I was any older when it happened, they'd definitely affect how stunningly beautiful I am.

Ugh. I fly home in a week. Hope it's not horrible by then.
