      i picked your comment specifically for this reply.

      i am so happy that you found a game that you love withe a great dev and a supportive community.

      but i still can’t figure out why this game is so big.

      i know, i know. and i feel like a dad trying to figure out why all these kids love the minecraft on their nintendos these days.

      you might think i want you to explain or convince me. but i’m just happy knowing you love a game i’ll never understand the way you do. that’s actually really fucking cool.

        Chiming in with why I love SV: While the game itself is a new thing (well 9 years old at this point), it really feels like a product of an earlier time. And not just the graphics, music, gameplay, and plot. It lacks all the dark pattern mechanics and monetization that’s nearly inescapable in modern games. It just feels good to play, but always feels good to put down.

        I just find the game endlessly charming. Every time I pick it up it reminds me of my childhood playing SNES.

        Love that energy! That’s kind of how I feel about the Elder Scrolls. I can’t get into it but I’m so glad there are people who do.
