On a related note, I’m surprised there’s no game that just lets the player grill. I don’t care about your complicated lore, politics, and conflicts, I just wanna grill.
100 hours spent fishing in the same spot without moving the plot past Chapter 1, truly makes the Final Boss regret their evil choices as I waste another day doing barely anything but get the same Fish on my way to 999 inventory of every item.
Apparently when making Majora's Mask they considered adding a fishing hole where the owner was Ganondorf. That would have been hilarious. The world is ending and the guy who tried to end it last time is just really into fishing now.
Why does that kinda make sense? Like, Termina is an alternate dimension with alternate counterparts of Hyrule denizens. And the Gerudo are now a pirate gang, so maybe Ganondorf in the Termina universe broke away from them in favor of becoming a fisherman.
Je n'ai pas vu de typo !

On va bien s'entendre 😁
Merci pour me corriger, je confond souvent ces mots 🥲 tous mes amis francophones vivent actuellement d'autre côté des EU et j'ai obtenu mon diplôme il y a plus de 2 ans, malheureusement je suis rouillée.
Il faut pratiquer de plus si je voudrais être traductrice FR>EN et donc j'accepte ton amitié !
Avec plaisir ! Je suis en Europe, mais toujours intéressé pour discuter !
Et je dois aussi m'entraîner pour traduire EN>FR. Si tu veux, on peut s'échanger des questions quand on a besoin !
I play Far Cry with my partner too! We just finished 6 before Xmas. Would play 5 again, it was a good one. To my surprise Primal is one of my favourites. I put it off for ages as I wasn't interested.
Been binging Outer Wilds lately and I love that despite there being a pretty strenuous time limit before your progress is reset, there's a fully fleshed out marshmallow-roasting mechanic
Skyrim is great because I don’t even regard the dragon apocalypse as a thing even though it’s the entire plot. I just hang out with my werewolf pals in Whiterun and craft
I’d love to know the obsession with my favorite JRPGs and fishing. I had to stop traveling through spacetime to stop the Fleshmancer in Sea of Stars because I had to find a trout.
As a fellow BOF fan.... Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it.
Alternatively, the world as we know it already has ended (Project Zomboid) and so why not spend hours & hours grinding away at honing your fishing (and trapping, cooking, mending, + other misc) skills? 😅
I mean *I* would never… clearly… but some ppl would. 😇
Yeah it's like an acknowledgement from the game itself that crunch culture is not a productive mindset for undoing crises, that you need time to rest & recuperate.
It's neat
You can save the world, and you get to hang around and keep adventuring, and, there's probably some quests/places you missed so stick around because we made too much. Also, mods!
“There will be a catastrophic global war that will result in millions of death in less than 24 hours thanks to a widespread ancient curse that has taken hold among the population. Time for a fishing contest!!”
In FFXIV, at one point meteors rain from the skies and that becomes the weather, so I went fishing for three irl days rather than advance the story past it.
I immediately thought of one (I use 5 different Profiles for different Play-styles 🤗) of my current “Dragon’s Dogma 2” play throughs….. level 200+ and still haven’t completed the Tutorial. 🤣🤣🤣
I love the cozy cooking, fishing, and town building aspects in Sea of Stars. Like. Yes there are horrible threats and monsters out there, but also heres some joy and small wholesome moments to remind you what you're fighting for. 🙂
In Metaphor, not only can you fish, you can then cook the fish and you’ll craft a cool restorative item that helps you beat the snot out of the bad guys. It’s a beautiful system
My favorite are the Yakuza games. Like yeah, Kiryu, you've got 3 different organized crime families hunting you down, but just go ahead and race Pocket Circuit cars for 18 hours straight
Sometimes I wonder if that trope is secretly conditioning me unconsciously.
Like one day air raid sirens are going off and people are clamboring into bomb shelters and I’m just walking down the street with a fishing pole and bucket hat with a glazed over look in my eyes..
i recently started playing RDR2 and was horrified to discover that fishing requires you to spin the right joystick to reel the fish in. triggered my PTSD of destroying N64 controller joysticks playing that one minigame in Mario Party. aside from that though it's very nice.
Ok, I'll power level, sleep at the inn 17 times, finish catching one of every fish in existence, drop some side quests, and.. 300 months of game time later, curb stomp the boss because I'm 700 levels higher than him...
Cloud, Sephiroth wants to wound the world so he can suck up all the energy and become a god, why are you suddenly obsessing over chocobo racing. Cloud, please you already have 6 matching chocobo outfits, a 7th won't help you
I'll admit though it's a little weird in chess when someone decides to--instead of promoting a pawn on the 8th rank--have it fish off the edge for a turn.
lol .. that sorta perpexed me about Far Cry 5 .. cultists are taking over the county and killing civilians .. but I need some "me" time to try to get the county record size for large mouth bass. :)

Now here’s 100 gold and a stick. Good luck!

The world gets taken over by a Lovecraftian lonely demon and isolates a bunch of people one their own subconscious, but you can still go fishing.
*presents open world with a bunch of side missions and quest lines*
I fucking despise fishing with every fucking fiber of my being.
*Hero gets a part time job*
How about a game of lucky hit
I mean *I* would never… clearly… but some ppl would. 😇

... Then sets you free to do side quests, gigs, and romance NPCs.
The imperial palace is floating in the sky and monsters are rampaging in the streets, but I've still got bait left! 🎣
Like one day air raid sirens are going off and people are clamboring into bomb shelters and I’m just walking down the street with a fishing pole and bucket hat with a glazed over look in my eyes..
But you may go fishing for ..
THAT'S IT. IVE COME UP WITH A NEW RECIPAE
Feels sort of relevant, unfortunately.

Just a typical fishing tournament game where everything is on fire and active warzones are erupting in the background.
Also Skyrim: get ten red flowers, idfk maybe you can make stuff out of it
The world is already ended. You, a machine, goes fishing at Level 5's secret level.
