       | about!), photorealism, and dance/emotes. Stanley Parable was

       | the chaff.

         | Ikr. So hard to filter thru the trash. I find a nice guided
         | semi-open world game is my jam. Disco Elysium. Last of us.
         | Uncharted series. I do enjoy some of the tight metroidvanias as
         | well. Dead cells. Ori. Etc... Happy hunting!

         | You have to be only 55 to join AARP, so seems relevant - 50+ is
         | probably the easiest survey data to get.

       | Kong, and Zork.
