Good article, and I agree that watching a friend or family member discover a great game is really pleasing.

This article started out strong and then ended up preaching to the choir. I think most responses are “you have to play this” unless it’s something that might not hold up anymore but was impactful for the time.
The real message is early in the article that there isn’t enough time to play all the games. What you think is a must-play isn’t somebody else’s. So make your recommendations, but it’s okay if they don’t get around to it.

Still… Outer Wilds made me realize that I should pay attention when people praise a game to death. Like, when some game is voted as GotY and garners a bunch of rewards, I probably shouldn’t just have it sitting there on my Steam list uninstalled. Maybe I won’t like it the way other people do, but at least I can figure that out fairly quickly.
Life’s too short to waste time on triple-A trash and bad games.

Play whatever the fuck you want, you don’t need an article to tell you that.

I actually did but now your comment made me reject the article and I’m back at square one. Guess I’ll play another person’s favorite game instead of what I wanted to play

And if you need an article to tell you that, take a good, long, look into the mirror before you continue using the internet please.

This was wholesome and not what I expected out of the article. I’ve been playing older games with my 9 year old, some points here really resonated with this situation as well.

I'm pleased that this was just a nice article to read. A sweet sentiment to share. Maybe a bit obvious, but it's good to ruminate on the positive and light hearted sometimes.

That someone hasn’t played Theme Hospital is an absolute travesty, I tell you!
Knowing that your friends may one day play your favorite game of all time, Total Distortion, fills you with determination.
I kid that game sucked
Here is another PSA:
