I've been saying this forever too! Boomers were the ones complaining about thier kids playing them back in the day because of the violence and demonic imagery.

In the 90s people called them "Doom-like"s. I usually just say "90s FPS games". Which I guess could be confusing and make people think I'm talking about framerate, but eh.

1 and 2 are some of my favorite games ever. They're sort of like Pac-Man or Tetris, they just nailed such a basic, fun gameplay experience that you can always go back to it and get sucked in.

Also props for GZDoom and Brutal Doom updating them for modern hardware.

Look up Kneesovertoesguy on Youtube, he has a lot of good shoulder stability exercises.

The muscles the guy has labelled in the video look like rotator cuff muscles, which are commonly trained for shoulder issues.

I'm like that with OG Doom. Its half nostalgia and half it just being a fun game to play.

I'm on the 3rd Liveship Traders book by her right now. So 6 books deep into Elderlings with no plans on stopping. Robin Hobb is a complete genius at character writing.

The third book is excellent as well. Easilly one of my favorite scifi series.

Old school FPS games. Doom, Quake, Unreal, etc. They're just simple, cathartic stress relief.

Its tricky, because how much do I really know about people's views who I've never met? Especially more famous people who might just be crafting a public image. They might be hiding aspects of thier views that are bad publicity, or just being controversial to drum up attention.

OpenMW may as well be a remake, it runs very well and updates everything for modern hardware. Thats probably the way to go if you want to play Morrowind today.

Morrowind and Oblivion both have a massive fan following but I think always get unfairly overlooked for Skyrim.

I was thinking Soul Reaver too! I think the problem is that it had a handful of mediocre sequels that made people eventually lose interest in the series. But the original game was one of the best on the PS1. I loved the whole improvised combat mechanic where you have to use anything around you in the environment that could hit the vampires' weakneses.

I could see that, both series really work from very good character writing, if thats someone's thing. I loved both as well.
