"This game is literally apart of the whole internet. It's everything."

edit: ive played this game for more than half of my entire life (since i was 7) and still play it to this day. people would give you a weird look/impression having this as your favourite game, its happened to me before one time on a cs2 match where someone critiqued me for having it as my fav.

being neurodivergent, this game was like an escape to me for my entire childhood. id pretty much play this game nearly everyday after school because playing it was almost therapeutic to me, it was like i was able to just play in my own world where im able to control and do anything without fearing being judged or told what to do and what was right/wrong. it was a very mind absorbing activity to let my mind wander while playing. i manage to have as much fun playing singleplayer as playing multiplayer and have touched pretty much every gamemode in existence, it makes sense why i love playing this game so much.

I have played this game in pretty much every way and form, from on my pc all the way to my vr headset (the second i found out i could do that). everything from spawning dupes and messing with it all the way to exploring maps like im actually there in person.

I unironically think this game has had a major effect on my personality and creativity and my mind treats this game like its a normal activity in my life, like something id do on the daily. not a single month has gone by where i havent played this game atleast once since i ever got it and this game has witnessed me go through every single phase in my life.

im just very happy that the community in this game is still active, people are constantly creating things around it with no motive its like a machine running on its own.

i like looking at my old workshop creations that i made when i was a kid, just saves/dupes that i made while messing around. i wish i could watch myself play this game for the first time again
