A guy at the laundromat in Fresno made me rethink my whole take on Zelda vs Elden Ring
Last Saturday I was stuck at the Wash & Dry on Blackstone Ave waiting on my 45 minute cycle, and this older dude next to me had a Switch in his hands playing Tears of the Kingdom. I said something dumb like "bet you wish it had Elden Ring's combat," and he just laughed and told me he put 300 hours into both games and the fun was never about which one hit harder. He mentioned his grandson got him into gaming during the lockdown and that sharing that with a 12 year old mattered more than frame rates, which honestly hit me harder than I expected. I've been thinking about that chat for a week now, so I'm curious, what's a game moment or conversation that got you to stop keeping score?
300 hours in both games and he still took time to talk to a random guy at a laundromat? That part blows my mind more than the Zelda vs Elden Ring thing.
