It's time to admit your gaming sins.
Mine? If there's an option to skip a cutscene, I'm definitely taking it. Every time.

Admit your shameful gaming sins

I've never beaten Final Fantasy VII, Ocarina of Time, Morrowind, or Earthbound. I'd like to one day, but damn I cannot get into Ocarina of Time despite playing most of it as a child.
Fuck yes. It feels so good. I have no shame about that.
If I'm enjoying the story or world and the difficulty is getting in the way, I will drop it to Easy and carry on. Don't have time for unnecessary challenge.
I...didn't like Animal Crossing New Horizons. It was my first Animal Crossing game.
As someone who plays MMORPG's a lot, it felt like dailies the game.

I sometimes use the console to open stuff in Fallout or Skyrim if I'm not leveled up enough to do it.
I've never technically beat a Souls game. I always get basically to the end then stop. With Bloodborne for example I fought Orphan of Kos a few times, went "OK I get what this is all about", and just kinda never went back to it.
I played almost all the Xbox 360 Gen with Component cables on a HD TV.
didn't know what HDMI cable was but I knew my 3 color cables lol. It was fine

At some point, I'm going to use cheat codes instead of grinding money if shit in the game is ridiculously expensive for average gameplay.
I saw a shrink-wrapped Valkyrie Profile on PS1 at a pawn shop for $30 when I was a freshman in high school. Thought it looked cool, but ended up buying Spyro the Dragon instead because I liked dragons.
Big deal, I picked Batman of the Future PS1 over Misadventures of Tron Bonne in a 3 for £15 sale at Electronic Boutique.
Years ago I took my fully working, pristine condition Dreamcast, Gamecube and modded 60hz Saturn to the recycling centre and left them there amongst all the broken TVs and washing machines :(
I'm 38, I used to consider myself a hardcore gamer but I'm hear ya buddy - I ain't got time for the timesink of grinding and practicing to truly master most of the games I play. Some of them, sure
Gaming sins wise, I think my problem post hardcore gamer years (12-25) but before the time I'm actually truly enjoying my bite sized gaming again (34-38), I bought too many games I thought I 'should' buy but didn't really play (or shit that was on sale so I bought but again didn't play)
Now I'm strict - one game as main, one as a quick pallet cleanser at a time. If I buy a game, I need to really find it intriguing and have to complete it before I move on.
That's okay. More rewarding than From Software credits is the friends you make along the way.
I once swapped Mario 64 for Bomberman 64. To be fair it was meant to be a loan each way, but if was a colleague at work at a job that didn't last, and I never saw the guy again.
Oh God did I regret that.
I like big open world games even if it leads to repetition.
I haven't played a small indie game in maybe three years.

I've never finished Pokemon Red/Blue without boosting my Pokemon to Lvl. 100 by abusing the rare candy cloning glitch with Missigno.
Holy shit.
I was coming in to say something very similar. I can't do hard games at all any more, and get excessively frustrated if I hit a roadblock or die a lot.
Most of the time I'd rather just shift it down to easy and enjoy the story than try to power through a hard section.
If a game doesn't catch my attention in the first few minutes (sometimes eve if I dont like the title screen) I will usually drop the game immediately.
I had a Game Cube but skipped many of its gems due to playing mmorpgs on PC back then. Baten Kaitos, Billy Hatcher, AC, PaperMario TTYD, Twilight Princess, Start Fox Assault, Beyond Good and Evil, Sonic Adventure 1/2, Skies of Arcadia, Chibi Robo and many others.
I did play a few of them later on, but I still feel bad about missing out so much to this day.

I beat Pokemon Red and Pokemon Silver only using my starter Pokemon with any other Pokemon in my party only existing for HM moves. It was easy without grinding as long as you never run from encounters and fight every trainer. In both games, my Pokemon landed somewhere in the low 80s by the end. Red's Pikachu was a chump.
Wouldn't that make you a saint on this forum?
I made it all the way to Troupe Master Grimm in Hollow Knight. After only an hour of trying to defeat him, I turned it off for the night intending to try again the following day but never did. Thus, I never defeated The Hollow Knight either.
I still love the game dearly and intend to revisit once Silk Song is near.
