I was pretty much the opposite.
I like FPS games mostly, so after a few hours of Diablo (I think I got it for free with something) I just thought "fuck*, this is boring" and never went back to it.
Generally I don't enjoy RPGs that much, even hybrids like System Shock. This is mainly because I Fucking Hate inventory juggling in all its forms.
*Paraphrasing. I didn't say fuck when I was that young.

it hasn't improved much over the years, inventory management in RPGs
it's still a rather absurd aspect of it. though I remember on some c64 titles you needed to do three disk swaps just to check your stuff. There was one game, Knights of Legend, which I think was either unfinished or impossible to finish, but this was a moot point because nobody ever got near it. You had six characters and you moved each tediously one square at a time by selecting all their actions and then confirming them. The only issue was the combat maps were all several hundreds squares grids where you could only see five or six squares ahead. So a single combat encounter took hours blundering around to no effect and you couldn't save, like starting a game of draughts on 300x300 board, followed by an hour of disk swaps if you wanted to divvy up the loot. Havent thought about it in years. must have had a lot of patience or low standards back then

I think I should clarify.
The thing that pisses me off about role-playing games is the idea of a weight limit; I like games where you can carry as much stuff as you like (e.g. DOOM) but also games that restrict the player to two guns and a few grenades (e.g. Halo).
When I play games like Prey (2), System Shock (also 2), Diablo (whatever), Fallout (4, I think) and even CyberPunk the mechanic that pisses me off most isn't being killed again and again by tricky enemies, dying repeatedly because I couldn't make that jump just so, or even mistaking a post-game DLC involving aliens for the main campaign.
What makes me cringe is picking up a new gun and finding that it doesn't fit into the arbitrary number of inventory slots I have; I could drop some ammo or the shotgun I haven't used in a while but will probably need soon but I have no clue as to whether this is a good idea.

The weird alt-right bubbles that they helped spawn are almost self-saucing without Fox's instigation these days.

The President's remark came as reporters were shouting questions while exiting the East Room.
Fox White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked Biden, "Would you take a question on inflation ... ? Do you think inflation is a political liability in the midterms?"
"It's a great asset -- more inflation," Biden deadpanned. "What a stupid son of a bitch."

I think the reality was hiding in plain sight
when you look at the interviews journalists like bob woodward did with the people (many of whom Trump hired) who dealt with him everyday as part of the running of a complex government, it was like dealing with a giant baby. and like a baby it was a matter of finding ways to emotionally manipulate him to either do what they wanted or stop him from doing some really stupid things. he wasn't this martinet that he liked to project, but a deeply incompetent, uncomprehending, emotionally infantile capricious man/baby, well out of his depth, surrounded by people who were almost universally shocked on discovering this, before wondering how the fuck they were going to deal with him and still do their jobs

I'd suggest that emotional neediness and sensitivity is part of the desire to be a martinet.

is it, Dr Prufrock?
That's your official diagnosis and you're in no way influenced by the fact that this smear, like the hilary has brain cancer, is one primarily bandied about in alt-right circles since the primaries.
I've had relatives with it, and worked with peak bodies to develop modules for clinicians to recognise it and manage it. I'm not suggesting I'm an expert, but part of it is understanding and synthesising the material experts have written into a course. Only about 5% of people will develop this autoimmune condition by the end of their seventies. Though all people will have measurable cognitive decline by the time the reach biden's age, and we all know Biden and Trump and most people in their mid 70s arent as sharp as they were in their 40s, but it's important not to confuse that decline with a specific condition. All I see is a huge amount of confirmation bias coming from alt-right circles already convinced, a-la the Hilary brain cancer, and almost none coming from the people who work with Biden. There's no general saying "I told Biden this and 20 minutes later he asked me exactly the same thing", the memory loss stuff that's one of the main features of dementia.
Biden is a lifelong stutterer, one who has to think and plan out his words before speaking so as not to trip over them, and this can get worse with old age and the fatigue that comes with it. I don't watch all his press conferences, I'm not a masochist, but I've seen him give long, articulate off-the-cuff town hall speeches with Q&A, something someone diagnosed with Alzheimer's would be pretty incapable of. Of course, there's always the possibility, as with anyone, that he's in some early pre-diagnosis phase. maybe he has brain cancer too. But I wouldn't listen to know-nothing alt-rights diagnosing him based on cherry-picking youtube vids. It's not like I like him, I thought Biden was a particularly uninspiring, if decent, status quo candidate well past his prime at a time the US needs a bit more than status quo, to say the least
{edit}found one of those town hall meetings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81bzoO9Qy9A&t=360s Biden must be one of those "good memory, long off-the-cuff articulate and coherent arguments" type of dementia sufferers...

I'm sorry but boxing, MMA and the rest are barely above blood sport as far as I'm concerned.
People cheer as others either knock their opponent unconcious or inflict enough pain to make them submit. It's not that far removed from slaves vs. gladiators millennia ago.
Doctors have learnt enough to say that concussions leave lasting damage and, ironically, it's probably best to leave out the boxing gloves and get it over with as soon as possible.
We decided long ago that subjecting animals to this cruelty was unacceptable, and hundreds of years before that we saw the evil in using slaves for the same, yet people still gleefully cheer one person beating the shit out of another so long as it's consensual.
I was raised Christian*, so I tend to think modesty is laudable, but This Is Still Wrong.

I'm not sure if you can really compare MMA/Boxing to things like dog fighting.
Animals don't really get to choose whether they fight or not. Humans do.
You could also argue that events such as Horse Racing/Greyhound Racing/Fox Hunts/etc are just as devoid of ethics as far as the animals are concerned, but they're still perfectly legal. I've adopted three retired Greyhounds, one of them was in absolutely terrible physical shape (multiple historical rib fractures, scarring) and the other two have/had severe PTSD from the abuse and ridiculous amounts of cocaine they were forced to take before races.
I have no doubt that Boxing/MMA will likely get banned/legislated into obscurity eventually, but I think it's a little unfair to compare it to animal abuse. Should Rugby also be banned? Shouldn't we be allowed to make our own decisions in regards to our personal wellbeing?

Blah blah bestial mobs baying for blood, worst aspects of humanity, punch drunks, brain bleeds, elevates street thugs to organised crime syndicates, it's mostly all a fix one way or another, and so on.
Any sport that has a substantial risk of concussion should be regulated to minimise that risk, especially given everything we've learned over the last few decades.
I think regulated boxing and mma could actually benefit from a ban on head strikes. Matches would be longer for a start, meaning events could be better programmed and athletes would consequently be better prepared.
Athletes could have longer careers, and many could go on to do coaching/training who would otherwise be dead or brain damaged.
Finally, having more illegal moves & strikes gives heels the opportunity to get more heat. ;)

I do in fact think horse/dog racing is cruel and ought to be phased out. Fox hunting is in a different league altogether, which is why it's actually illegal now, but makes me particularly sick because the bastards who do it not only have fun but actually dress up for it and try to paint a veneer of respectability over it by calling it "sport". If you need to cull foxes (you don't) use a fucking rifle and get it over with quickly.
Personal responsibility is all well and good, but I don't think one can truly be fully responsible for one's actions when there's an entire industry set up to turn healthy people into injured people + profit.
I agree that rugby/football are the same in principle, but don't forget that the entire point in boxing is to knock out your opponent. Any blow strong enough to do that will cause lasting damage.

It reminds me of some of the camera tricks done by This Old Tony on his videos.

Don’t ask them about it though.
They get all mysterious.
