We’ve been conditioned to hoard stuff.
“Hi, welcome to the midgame checkpoint. To continue, please produce 25 potions that require four different useless items.”
“Oh ho, this enemy is impervious to your broadsword. But if you have that one dagger the orphan boy dropped 26 playing hours ago, then you can throw it in his eye and obtain the Orphan’s Treasure. This unique item will grant a buff that increases gainaxing.”
“Yes, you’re low on health, but you can eat 25 cheese wheels. Save those hundred full life potions for when you really need th-Oh that was the last boss. Good job, you win, and the potions mean nothing.”
Ok, that last one is a reason not to hoard, but it stems from a thousand boss battles where you didn’t have any healing items.
Yes, you’re low on health, but you can eat 25 cheese wheels.
Just once I’d like a game where this actually has consequences. Oh, you ate 25 cheese wheels right before a battle? Now you’re nauseated and your stomach is aching. You puke mid battle and your enemy decapitates you, which leading to a spray of blood and vomit in their face so you kinda get the last laugh but you’re still dead.
That game exists. It’s called “real life”. It’s pay to win and often not all that fun. Plus, the graphics can be hit or miss at times, depending on your hardware.
My rendering distance is way too low.
Yeah that games alright but there’s way too much grinding involved
I think Outer Worlds does this, (Well not the whole puking thing lmao) if you eat/drink too much of the same thing you get hit with a debuff or something. You can also develop addictions iirc with certain foods, drugs and alcohol where you get slapped with a debuff if it gets too long since you last consumed ut
NetHack sort of has this.
You eat the giant corpse. You’re having a hard time getting all of it down. Stop eating? y/n
n
You choke over your giant corpse. You die. Do you want your possesions identified? y/n
Or, if you can’t choke to death because you’re wearing an amulet of magical breathing:
You stuff yourself, and then vomit voluminously.
It’s not really the same, because eating doesn’t heal you and you’d usually rather do it when nothing is trying to kill you, although sometimes it can’t be helped.
Noita is the game you’re looking for. Consume too much and you explode, run over, try again.

DoA Beach Volleyball the RPG
Final fantasy 9 had a dungeon where weapon states are reversed so if you use your starting weapons it’s like having the best weapons in the game.
There were Few times in baldurs gate that I just by chance had the item or magic scroll the npc wanted.
Finishing out The Witcher 3 and I feel personally attacked by this meme.
Play the DLCs 👍🏻
I got the game and both DLCs for $8 on steam. An absolutely unbelievable deal for that much content.
This play-through, I made the mistake of beating one of them before I finished the main campaign, and now I’m so overpowered that the main quest isn’t super engaging. I’m trying to just knock it out now before starting over.
I had originally started it on the most difficult setting, and was only doing the main quest, but that was like, pretty tough because I was only like level 3 trying to finish the bloody baron quest. So I started over on a reduced difficulty and then made the mistake of trying to ‘complete’ areas before moving into new areas. I basically way over leveled and now pretty much everything weaker than god is paper and just melts.
Next play through I’m either going to try a ‘pure witcher’ play-through where I want to always make the ‘most-witcher’ like decision every time, or, alternatively, I’m considering going ‘utter fuckboi’ and just try to bang any and everything that isn’t nailed down. Either way it will be on the max of max difficulties. Speed running could be fun to but I want to have a 100% run before that.
Sure I may be over encumbered, but I’ll die before giving up all those cups I took.
Two words. Desk. Fans.
I just decided I was going to play moonlighter last night as an easy pickup game. I checked the inventory once and remembered I would have to sort and store stuff and immediately turned it off.
Bg3 is doing this to me right now.
I don’t trust any of the companions to hold onto stuff.
is this a mfing tarot meme? Lmao
I almost died, we need more of these
I have 80k gold that i never use but i have cab’t drop the cheese that i can sell for 2 gold and vetter slow walk for 15 minutes
Back in the day playing the original diablo 2 lord of destruction you could make as many accounts that you wanted on one key.
I had so many mules accounts, one big file with names and passwords in it. I loved to trade stuff.
Horde all the things!
This is exactly what I was thinking reading some of the comments. “Back in my day you could store everything as long as you trusted someone enough to keep an instance open while you throw valuable stuff at the ground and switch accounts”
If you would take that daisy out of your inventory you could fit that full plate armor set.
This week I played Medieval dynasty. I have to say, it felt awesome to eradicate a whole herd of wisents and shove them into my backpack, whole.
You are carrying too much
No shit, sherlock.
That’s one thing I like about Starfield, you can hoard so much useless junk! Overencumberance only means you have to take short walking breaks as you otherwise run to your ship which holds a shit load more than you, then once it’s full you space teleport to your various outposts each with dozens of chests.
Me in D2. Forever 599. Takes 30 minutes to decide what to delete. Inevitably, whatever I delete will be META in a week.
Ngl one of the things I miss the most about Reddit was /r/tarotmemes.
Who among you hasn’t told your construction bots to stick an entire base into chests?
