This is a really interesting question. In my opinion, absolutely yes. It’s a piece of someone’s hobby, a passion large or small. A time capsule of things that made someone happy.

Beyond that, in cases like the authors friends love of Sea of Thieves, it can show a bit of the community they sought, the people they interacted with. A small tendril of ourselves, reaching out and entwining with others.

And, for those who maybe only knew the person online, never had the chance or want for an in-person meetup, it’s a place to mourn. A digital marker of a life once lived, a finished book of memories. The games themselves may come and go, but the traces they left will be there, captured in achievements and screenshots, to be shared as long as a copy exists.

It’s been 13 years. 3 released all the way back in the PS3/360 era.

Not complaining about more Ninja Gaiden. Just feels a bit weird to see 4 after what feels like the series was just left on hiatus. Kinda figure they’d take the chance to get a fresh start, though the plot seems like it’s more a soft reboot.

There’s also Mini Motorways. Same concept, different pieces. Heavily recommend both, both can scratch those “I just want to have a chill time” and “I wanna optimize and challenge myself” itches.

Super easy to pick up, spend your lunch break placing lines, and go back to whatever you were doing.
