Misread as “unite”. Almost got me. WTF?

hmm…

Tipping 50% heals people. Abolish the “tipped minimum wage”, but still. I don’t like regular jobs that forbid their employees from accepting tips for no good reason either.

I just realized, its kinda relavent that I had the deluxe version of QFG1 with the little cheat/hint book, and started playing it at a point in my life where I didn’t even understand most of the hints. Re-visitting that game over and over, losing and forgetting the little red-lense that made the answers in the book visible, squinting at the answer blocks like I was trying to magic-eye summon the answers, realizing a lot of the answers were implied in the questions … at one point I was manually-editing save-files as the “easier” option to do what I wanted in-game (whether this coincided with recreationally-consuming mass-quantities of cough-syryp, I don’t recall) …

There’s just a bajillion little bits of my experiences with that game from the ages of 8 to 16 that no other game has a chance in hell of re-creating, living-up-to or improving-upon, on its own(same goes for Heaven & Earth, Battle-Chess, Chess Master, Metal Marines, Rampart, and so many others, plus most of the main-stream hits of the time). I’m still going to play the others, can’t wait, but I’ve also been telling myself that for 30 years.

Just didn’t get “addicted” like the first one maybe? It was over ten years later, and then again around COVID, and never since my teens have I had such a small library of games as I did when I played So You Want To Be a Hero?

Difficulty was not my problem.

Somehow, I played the first QFG through at least 30 times, and never made it past the first quest in the second game. No worries, I own them all on Steam or GoG … and I’ll be buying this one … NOW.

Wait, what? Is it Free-2-Play like FREE, or F2P like micro-transaction hell?
