The second type of game was generally referred to as “Action-Adventure” to differentiate it from games like Monkey Island.
They’re separated from just 3D platforming games by generally incorporating some aspects of adventure games such as inventory management and puzzle solving.
It can take a long time to realize this.
I’ve been on HRT for about 2.5 years now, and I was looking through my old photos both before and after transition.
I was shocked that I thought I was an ugly duckling phase I looked so much more happy and vibrant than my pre transition photos, and how little the things I hyperfocused on mattered. And indeed it turns out I look better when I care about how I look and I’m comfortable in my skin.
Seems obvious now but it’s really easy to get down on one’s self.
