The Nintendo Direct from a few days ago was a bit underwhelming, but the two things I am excited about is that Mario RPG has new features for the remastered version, and the new Contra. I love Contra 3 from SNES.
Also, I played the Prince of Persia I think in Xbox 360, and I enjoyed it. I'll keep an eye out for the new one
small disagree here, i thought the direct was so amazing. i love seeing endless ads for smash bros amiibo and an endless parade of rpg remakes and farm sims
Ever since I was a young child, the allure of farming beckoned to me like a siren's song. The thought of waking up at dawn, surrounded by the serenity of a vast countryside, tending to crops and animals, filled my mind with excitement and purpose. But my parents, trapped in a rigid mindset, dismissed my dreams of becoming a farmer as a mere fantasy. They were fixated on the idea of a stable corporate job for me, one that they believed would ensure financial security and societal validation.
I vividly remember the day they mocked my aspirations, calling farming a "backward" and "unrealistic" career choice. Their words stung, and I buried my dreams deep within, fearing their disapproval. However, my love for farming never waned; it only grew stronger as I sought solace in farm simulation games. These games, like Stardew Valley and Farming Simulator, allow me to step into the boots of a virtual farmer and cultivate the life I've always desired.
In the virtual expanse of Stardew Valley, I till the soil, plant diverse crops, raise happy animals, and engage with a charming community of characters. The meticulous attention to detail in the game, from the changing seasons to the intricate farm layouts, mirrors the farming experience I had envisioned for myself. It's a bittersweet substitute for the reality I was denied, but it fuels my passion and ignites a spark of hope that someday I might find a way to live my dream.
To those who doubt the authenticity of my love for farm sims, I implore you to understand the deep-seated longing that fuels my enthusiasm. These games aren't just a pastime for me; they are a lifeline, a way to hold on to the dreams that were once belittled and ridiculed. Farm simulation games have become the canvas on which I paint the portrait of my unrealized ambition, bringing me closer to the farming world I yearned for as a child, even if only in a virtual realm.
