These people are literally making their own propaganda, acting like its real , circlejerking about it and getting angry at the made up "demon figure" they created in their head. https://invidious.kavin.rocks/watch?v=dBw0eTkQ5IU

As I said, diversification, which came with evolution of technology. Hell, the same generation that dismissed Atari-style games were the same folks (more or less) enjoying bowling and tennis on the Wii in the old-age homes. Kind of a shame to see the passing of that style of controller, but I guess the current and future generation of old-age-home residents will be more familiar with the gamepads (I'm rubbish with them, still stuck on kb+mouse too heavily to really train myself on the X-box controller that sits gathering dust).
The games that first turned me on were Darksun and Diablo, and I kind of went from there (special mention to Dungeon Hack.) Basically, stuff that you started to get with the 286 era (Eye of the Beholder ...)
And yeah, I'm a lot like your fiancee. Though I kind of prefer "immortal mode" (Skyrim and Fallout 4's "tim" command), and just kind of use it as a crutch. And honestly, is why the mako pisses me off, it's barring me from seeing the rest of Mass Effect 1.
It should be interesting to see what, if anything, my husband does with a ps5 whenever I can get my hands on one. Oh, I am so sticking a VR helmet on that man. (I've been to an arcade. He won't go. I don't even natively see in 3D, but VR kicked my ass. How the rest of you people function actually seeing the space between things, is beyond me, I find it terrifying.)
Yep, that is how she plays too. Mostly because, like I said, she cares more about lore, story, and characters. So she makes herself immortal so she can just wade through any challenge and not have her story disrupted.
On that note, we also fight very differently. Since she has infinite ammo (because of said commands) and is blind as a bat without her glasses (she doesnt wear them while playing), she has a tendency to use melee weapons, and if she uses ranged weapons its AOE like grenade launchers, or bullet hoses like miniguns, and she will go into battle screaming "ACCURACY IS FOR DOOOORRRKKKS!!" at the top of her lungs. Meanwhile, I favor custom-tuning my weapons to make them as accurate and easily controlled on the recoil as possible, and when using anything automatic I fire correctly in short controlled burst. Or in Elder Scrolls, she prefers magic, while I prefer heavy armor/heavy weapon+bow builds.
Oh, immortal mode is different from God mode, in that you don't have infinite ammo, and you do get hurt, you just don't die and have to go back so many minutes. Unless you get hit with the "giblet head" bug and don't notice and walk around headless for half an hour. :P I use it because I'm kind of bad at watching my health bar while I fight, because I get tunnel-visioned on what I'm doing and not a bunch of stuff in the margins. That goes for everything.
Ah. I never use console commands so I didnt know there was a difference. I always play very tactically, moving from cover to cover, and taking very deliberate shots and relying on armor to eat any fire that gets past cover.
I kind of like stunting. There's a way to come up behind a certain dragon's lair in Skyrim, where you can look way down and see him resting .. then you can drop down right on his head with your sword. But you'd probably die without TIM.
Then I go to play things straight in Witcher 3, and don't feel like walking down all those damn stai .. oops. :)
