there is little more british than grave robbing i’m not sure what to tell you. as for the appeal, consider the innate proclivities towards divadom endemic to homosexuality… ahhh yes. my mother (biological) put me onto the first of many mothers (figurative). used to plug in another controller and let me convince myself i was doing shit. her cone bra built nations. i thought i was going to be a game designer before anything else. she’s the beyoncé of video games and her IP holders need to remember that

Alice Madness Returns - first played it in my first year of uni at 18 and it became my whole personality, recently replayed it and it basically happened again.
The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood - a recent play and the game that has me considering becoming a game writer
Death’s Door - dark souls for cutie pies. i just find this endlessly repayable because the controls feel so nice for me. Also the first “hard game” I played that convinced me “hard games” aren’t out of my ability.
Final Fantasy X - the first “real game” I played on my ps2 when I was like 10. my friends used to make fun of me for not going out to play after school because I was doing anotber ffx replay.
Shout out to the spyro trilogy and Spiritfarer - the endlessly replayable basis for my favourite kind of gameplay, and the first game to make me cry, respectively.

This is a wild choice for the crowd, but my father is a HUGE fantasy fan and I was raised with loads of fantasy/sci-fi media.
I was in the 5th grade when the Xbox 360 was released and at the time this RPG was an exclusive for it. I remember this was the first video game I really got into. My brother and I put hours and years into this game… exploring and finding all the little secrets, creating outrageous characters, and messing with radiant AI system to push the boundaries. I loved how the general graphics and lighting of the in-game world were so dream-like - made it feel so much more fantastical. I have sweet nostalgia for this game and the world of Cyrodiil.

I have a miserable relationship with my corporeal form but very little else in the world can cut through that like singing does. It’s a such a physical and embodied practice, forces you to be so present within yourself but so free. At its best it feels like flying and at its worst it provides the impetus for self improvement. It’s one of the only things I love doing just for me. Which feels ironic somehow
