Sad as it might sound, the best video game description of my life is that tetris joke

Your failures stack up, whereas your achievements disappear.

Job and daughter ensure challenges a are being thrown my way to, but but unlike an rpg where you get rewarded for doing good, the only reward is more work, and what you've done gets neglected because everyone else is doing those things as well.

You know those games like "Getting over it" or "Only up", the kind of games that are total bullshit to play and screw you over at the littlest mistake?
Life's that genre, pretty much.

UPDATE: Planning to make a similar poll but instead of genre is developer
EA + Ubisoft + Activision/Blizzard, pretty much.

What i would *want* it to be, or what it *would* be? just making sure "would" is the intent. going with that, humans do seem to do a lot of collecting all the things for...some...reason. I would prefer it to be an RPG, but they seem to lose some skills and gain others as they age so not sure that fits.

Yes, the intent is indeed "Would"

Anybody who chooses FPS has something wrong with them...
It would probably be a MilSim with pay-to-win microtransactions

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
