I like all sorts of games but I get why some people stick to one type alone they feel comfortable with. I think I might have ADHD or something as I often bounce from genre to genre every couple of days, whatever I find interesting. Like one week I could be into tactical fps games, then the next week it's JRPGs.

How about you hexbearians?

    I sort of bounce around but I do have my favorite genres, like first person puzzle platformer, metroidvania, etc. I tried sticking to a certain genre with JRPG a while back but got burned out from that genre even though it was one of my favorite genres as a kid. Right now I just try to stick to a small backlog, work through whatever those games may be and then move on. So like I just got done with Axiom Verge 1 and 2 but am now playing CrossCode and Mad Max just because they sounded fun. I was playing Prey but bounced off of it because it was frustrating me. I am playing Balatro in short bursts but plan on hitting Supraland for a second playthrough once I am done with CrossCode and Mad Max. After that idk yet. Maybe Xenoblade trilogy?

        So I bought the game years ago when Feral did the Linux port to support the company, played it a bit but got burned out form the base-taking gameplay loop. Sort of the hallmark of open world games of that era I guess.

        But I've been on a huge Mad Max lore dive lately and even though the game only barrows the aesthetics, I figured while I am binging the old trilogy and the Fury Road/Furiosa/and soon Wasteland trilogy, I might give it another go. This time around I am accepting it as the grindy base-taking game that it is and just gonna have dumb fun with it. I just wish they would have stuck a bit closer to the lore. The game would have fit in, had they had just called Rictus, Rictus instead of fucking it up and calling him Scrotus. Had they done that, I feel like it could sort of fit right after Fury Road for the most part. I guess Miller said fuck it and dipped because the devs wanted to go their own way. I'm gonna just try and continue with my head canon that ties all the movies together as they are tall tales being told by the now older lost kid tribe at the end of Thunderdome and the facts aren't always correct lol.
