Got my sunglasses, a beer and some sunscreen. Vacations don’t last forever but gonna enjoy this for a bit! You know you can’t resist Dart see you in a bit!
I was hoping it was "Darth Vacation", the Sith Lord who prefers to spend his time on the beach instead of trying to rule the galaxy.

I'm afraid we've gone way past the point where I can take RPG seriously. I'm glad you love the games - and I think it's cool that a computer game can make you feel brave.
If only I could feel something so profound based on so very little. I seem to remember something akin to that when I was a kid when I played "hardcore" and "iron man" modes and I didn't realise my time in this world is incredibly limited - and I definitely miss being able to tell myself that mastering games means something important, though I don't think I've ever been deluded enough to claim that to an adult. The ridicule of being a geek was more than enough
The closest thing to something that profound I've experienced in a game as an adult is probably Alien Isolation, except it made me feel more like a coward - like you suggest that I am. Maybe that is true.
Oh, and a few games have brought me to tears because of their story telling and presentation, including Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite. But that's about it for profound reactions for my part, sadly.
Beyond not being able to take RPG seriously, I don't think our discussion is valuable to others. It's more than likely just in the way.
Anyway, thank you for your amusing vision of yourself - that was unusually entertaining.
But you're a bit too much of a loon for my tastes in terms of our exchanges being worthwhile - so to avoid compulsively engaging with you about something potentially interesting in the future, I will have to put you back on ignore.
Nothing personal beyond that - and I kinda like you as you do seem to have a sense of humor and you don't seem the type to carry a grudge like a few others around here.
Not sure if that matters to you, but there it is.
Have fun!
Speaking of Dart, did he get himself deleted again? His user name no longer links to a profile.
I'm assuming he got too frustrated in this thread:He was alive and kicking yesterday.
pibbur who assumes Myrthos may know something.
It's probably Joxer's fault…

…in support of skill, then…You honestly think the tiny minority who're physically unable to apply personal skill in this way should dictate an entire genre?
…against it, when talking about Dark Souls.All you do is learn patterns to avoid wasting your time through lost progress
When faced with the question "what is an RPG?" is the answer subjective? If so then what use are comments from anyone but yourself?
If you speak the Words of Power, you may summon him again…
