Like watching a bunch of people watch someone smash their hand with hammers and going "Yeah, that seems fun", at least to me.
... Then you get the hundreds of videos of people clicking the Blood of Heroes in the Plaguelands not knowing what it is and subsequently ending their run without consent.

In the teeth of being next to, in many respects, a smoother and far less frictional experience, many do prefer and pick the clunky one.
Some of it is nostalgia, sure. But people are still iterating on it. Seeing 'hardcore mode' transition from a mod to something officially supported was (con't)

I'm playing this in 2026 for some godforsaken reason. And it's made me think about older online games and now their popularity endured in spite of the hostile design elements.

It's interesting to read this in a time where I picked up FFXI. And I'm hilariously enjoying it BECAUSE of its obtuse weirdness.
I feel @aranai.bsky.social described it best by remarking how he wouldn't call the game *fun*, but he would call it *satisfying*.
I'm still thinking about this point.

Other highlights include things like the shortest sermon ever and "navigate an entire zone for a good hour to hit four separate switches to open a big fuck off door to get a skill that lets you stab people better for more damage than the best skill you have by order of magnitude".
What the fuck.
What the fuck.
