WuzzyFuzzy, thank you for your kind words.
I'm one of them Xennials who are usually overlooked in the generation narrative.. we are old enough to have played outside until it got dark with minimal parental oversight and to have had our formative years and tastes in fiction shaped by books, but young enough to where my first videogame were space invaders, frogger and pacman, and my first instance at swearing at a computer was playing the original Prince of Persia.
In general, I find that people in that small age group are supposed to dislike the millennials and the boomers in equal measure
, and gen Z should just stay away from our lawns..(Except we don't have a lawn because we got fucked over both ways by the economy) or at least that's how I believe we should present ourself if we want to stick to the tags that we are handed out by society.
In all of the playthroughs in every one of these games I ever played, I named the main character Burt Reynolds, and no, I don't self insert either, which is not to say I can't get emotional about these games.. there have been a select few that have made me feel in ways I didn't expect I would... Ideally I would like this game to also bring that to a few people, but that's such a personal and intimate reaction that provoking it artificially might just be a roll of the dice.
Generally speaking, I look in these games pretty much for the same kind of content that I would be interested in finding if I were to look for porn, and I assume this counts for most people.
And my tastes are definitely also framed by actual experience first, and wish fulfillment second (no, I am not saying that is how it should be, just that that's how it works for me).
I am one of those weirdos who like 70's and 80's porn because it often came with a plot and some attempt at a narrative, and if it was a costumed affair, the 17th century wench actually looked like one rather than a tattooed and pierced plastic inflatable stuck in a carnival costume...which have their own appeal, just not in a period piece.
I am rambling.
