Games on a surface level used to be somewhat simpler, but man, I pine for the days of games that wouldn't waste your time with long intro segments and just let you enjoy what it had to offer right from the get go.

That statement made me laugh a bit. On some level a lot of games (e.g. those repetitive "open" world games) seem to b structured around wasting time. Collect 10 herbs, raid the hideout, activate the lighthouse, etc.

Haven't played games on a long time, but from watching some let's plays I got the impression that a lot of games are just repetitive grinding these days.

Super Mario World is earlier than Mario 64, not later.

Sometimes, I don't believe I'm not in a simulation.

I was just using it to setup cloud saving with Syncthing and Retroarch across Windows, Mac and Android (Works brilliantly). Then I come here and see this thread.
