breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom are a couple of the best games i have ever played. they were an experience for sure. only down side to the switch and switch games is that they are ridiculously pricey :( i got mine and the games as a gift but i'm not sure if i would have ever purchased it on my own...

i cannot remember a first playthrough of any game i’ve ever played that was as enchanting as this. it was the wondrous adventure that the original zelda from 1986 was gesturing at but finally fully realized with the aid of modern technology and design. especially in the era it came out, when open-world games were at the absolute peak of bloodless checklists and cocomelon design, a game that was this single-mindedly committed to atmosphere, exploration, and wonder was such an unbelievable breath of fresh air (pardon the pun).
at the time it came out, i was falling out of love with gaming broadly, and botw is probably singlehandedly responsible for reigniting my love for videogames. it made me feel a kind of wonder that i genuinely did not think i was capable of feeling anymore, and it reminded me of the wholly unique kind of engagement that interactive art can provide that nothing else can. if you somehow haven‘t played it yet, i would literally recommend it to everyone. absolute fucking masterpiece.

Most ppl I know have played it but every once in a while I find someone who hasn't and am like GO PLAY!!! It's truly a ground breaking game and flawless in just about every way. The way it gently introduces you to the world, but never feels hand-holding, never feels restricting, but never overwhelming either. You learn by doing and you find out what to do by looking around and everything functions the way you expected. I may never play a better game

some of these can be played on switch (if you have the online subscription) but all of them can be emulated pretty easily (especially if ur on mac):
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time –– first game in this series i played and it's silly and serious and makes you think deep about growing up
Super Mario 64 –– really accessible 3D platformer game that encourages experimentation and has very fun movement!
Metroid: Fusion –– a great entry point into an incredible series. the bosses are tough but the world is so immersive and creepy and the character you play as is a badass
WarioWare –– infinite games. so many wacky funny fun minigames
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney –– just a visual novel game and while the detective parts are a little boring the courtroom scenes are such a rollercoaster
Yoshi's Island –– ur yoshi and you help bring baby mario back to his parents

married by 25, house by 28, kids by 30, business by 32. who cares. youre not a child anymore. you don’t have to hit milestones. that’s the whole thing about being an adult, you don’t have to give yourself age deadlines. let serendipity do its thing. what is for you will find you.
your journey is YOUR JOURNEY. how boring would life be if we were all setting the same goals and standards for each other? just keep moving forward. keep doing what YOU believe is best for YOU. keep growing, keep learning. time is going to pass regardless. but don’t ever let someone or society push their timeline onto you.

i don’t care what we’re doing. we could be sipping tea together. reading on two separate ends of the couch. hiking in silence. just existing and being together
