I was never much of a fan of story in video games, but for a bit I became more tolerant of it after playing "Lost Odyssey" and "Xenoblade Chronicles 2". That said, as my epilepsy has gotten worse and video games are a consistent trigger for seizures, I have zero tolerance now for story. Like, video games, even when I wear my sunglasses that help prevent seizures, often cause seizures. So, I don't play them as much anymore and since I'm expecting a seizure at any moment, all I want to do is play.
I'm sorry, I don't want to spend precious time with story!
Like, if I'm going to have a seizure, I want to do it while having a blast playing a GAME, not watching a story. If I want to get a seizure watching a story, I'd watch a movie or TV show. I play video games for the game.
Also, this applies to terrible tutorials that constantly stop you or take too long to finish. Let me play and figure it out. "Princess Peach Showtime", "Pikmin 4", and "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" drove me nuts with their tutorials. I didn't spend much time playing them because they didn't just let me play.
The Oilers are in? YES! We get to watch McJesus chase the Cup! LET'S GO!!! Gonna be real, this is the best-case scenario for me. I love Bob and I also love to see McDavid lift the Cup. Gonna be fun to watch.
Tried to watch "The Pianist" again since another family member was playing it in the living room, and made it further than I thought I would, but yeah, I can't bring myself to watch it all the way through again. Easily the hardest movie I've ever watched to get through.
