Current Events > ITT: Great feelings in video games that have nothing to do with beating the game

(+) Yeah! (+)

Clearing out unneeded inventory in an MMO.

Just went through and made 70 more spots in my inventory in FF14, double checking if I would need any of it for crafting or anything. Mmmm hmmm

---

That was a big motivator for me to get everything to 80, so I could finally get rid of any non-level cap gear.

---

Stealing rare materials from someone who had been cycling the entire area to get them to spawn.

---

Leaving a shitty FFXIV FC/Static thats full of drama all the time without saying a word.

---

Dude, same. I have like one day a week playing XIV where I clear my armory. It's the same feeling as procrastinating chores.

---

Getting stuck on a boss, leaving the game for a few days only to come back to the game to breeze past it.

Decorating your house just right in Elder Scrolls games. Bonus satisfaction in Skyrim for managing to decorate your house after having to overcome the severely hamstrung move / drag feature.

I don't want to fucking talk about how long it took me to set 13 tiny gnomes on that bookshelf.

Like, actually stealing in-game items from people who committed a lotta IRL time to getting them?

betraying people in mmos

That feeling in Among Us when Im the imposter, the first body is found... and some dip shit starts accusing someone else and totally throws the scent off me

Helping someone else through something really difficult. My favorite part of MH:W was being the reinforcements, helping people clear one of the endgame monsters, and seeing them spam excited stickers.

Exceptionally nice work :D I know the pain all too well. Now that console Skyrim / Fallout 4 have mods I'm able to - among other things - turn items static and grid-place them. Hell of a lot less of a headache, but also opens up so many new possibilities that I ultimately end up wasting more time on it than I used to.

I'm currently replaying New Vegas for the first time in a good while, and thought I'd decorate my Novac hotel room a bit. After a couple hours of hyperactive physics and not being able to stack things the way I wanted, I remembered how little I missed vanilla decorating.

I play PvE Ark and helping out nubs feels great.

Getting past the tutorials/prologue. JRPGs, specifically!

Being the first to discover which Pokemon is the best for a certain dungeon really made me feel happy, and I still treasure Smoochum to this day.

Even better is getting a pink tail on the moon.

Not stealing as in "I am hacking their account" or "I am exploiting a bug", but otherwise, yes. They're blocking anyone else from getting fish, so I ruin their half hour of mindless fishing in 30 seconds.

I will ride this high forever.

-coming back in winning an online match you were behind in at first
-getting a sweet combo/string going in Smash (or any fighting game of your preference)
-Finally getting an item that is rare to have an emey drop or steal from them
-Finally catching up on whatever quests you have accepted

Ah okay, I thought you were taking from innocent people. If they're being gluttons that's cool

Figuring out a reliable method to knock out RPG encounters in a single turn. This is particularly satisfying with unconventional battle systems like Octopath.
