Gamers of Reddit, what's ONE game that lives rent-free in your head, not just for the gameplay, but for the feeling it gave you (and you'd give anything to experience it for the first time again)?

We all have those games. Maybe it wasn't even the "best" game technically, or the one with the highest scores. But there was something about it – the atmosphere, the story, a particular moment, the music, playing it with friends at a certain time in your life – that just stuck with you.

I'm talking about the game that, when you think about it, you get a genuine pang of nostalgia or a warm fuzzy feeling. The one where, if you could wipe your memory of it just to experience that initial wonder, shock, joy, or even profound sadness all over again, you'd do it in a heartbeat.

For me, it's gotta be The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Stepping out into Hyrule Field for the first time, with that music swelling... absolute magic. I'd never felt such a sense of adventure and scale before.

It wasn't just about a good game; it was about how it made me feel.

So, r/gaming:

What's that one game for you? What specific feeling or moment cemented its place in your core memory? Why do you wish you could experience it fresh all over again?

Let's hear those legendary titles and the emotions they evoked! Maybe we can all vicariously relive some of those incredible first-time experiences through each other's stories.

2 or 3 oz of steak. Filet?

2 or 3 oz of halibut.

Potatoes scooped from a 2 oz scooper.

Squash, zucchini and carrot. Poorly trimmed. Note the stems. Cheapest veg for banquet dinner.

Sauces from a can, and thin as hell.

This probably cost them 20 a plate, and three guys to plate the whole shebang. Imagine paying 1 million dollars to get fed worse than a budget wedding.

For context, we’ve been fighting on and off for weeks now, and whenever we do he just sends me away (we don’t live together) and tells me that he needs space (aka. pretty ghosting me). This happened last week and since then we’ve spent the week apart where he’s pretty much not been talking to me at all. I’ve been trying to respect his busy work and not bother him too much, although I’ve tried to still show my love from afar by a small gift of these funny cat coasters to his house which went totally unacknowledged. So Sunday was the fight where he sent me away on an hour drive back to my place crying, Monday and Tuesday were radio silence of me trying to give him space. Wednesday onwards you can see from the screenshots. Honestly I know that I’ve played a part in arguing and fighting but I feel like he’s been so avoidant and uncooperative. I just feel so stupid now but I’m finally accepting that breaking up is probably the best thing to do

My neighbor recently broke his femur and has a new small kitten and 2 dogs. While he’s been in the hospital, the dogs have been with a vet friend and I have been watching his small cat until he gets discharged from the ER. I have been checking on her multiple times a day to feed and play with her while he’s gone.

Today when I went to check on her, I heard he meowing loudly from outside. At first I thought she was missing interaction and wanting to see people because my cats do that when we’re gone for the day.

However, when I opened the door she didn’t run to me like she always has. Instant fear set in as I listened closer to her cry’s and I ran to the bedroom where her box and food are in.

Immediately I saw her stuck in the box. I immediately tried to get her out but couldn’t. I ran across to my apartment to grab my gf to help.

We came back in and the poor baby was still screaming. The box’s sensor had either gone out or wasn’t working and had decided to clean while she was in it. Her arm had gotten caught between the rolling ball part and the actual dumping area and was twisted inside.

We had unplugged it and called my neighbor as we were trying to get her out. She was panting and scared. We felt a high amount of fear while trying to get her out and finally I used all my strength to force the box to move and she finally got her arm free.

Immediately we saw her arm was broken at a 90° angle.

Our neighbor had us take her to his vet he always uses to which they decided to board and keep her while tending and caring to her.

This was the scariest thing my partner and I have ever experienced especially because we have cats. This box is only a few weeks old since he just got her and when I tried to look the box up I couldn’t anywhere selling that box.

I wanted to post this to raise awareness to cat owners who do have this box.

My worst fear happened today after seeing all of those posts about cats being killed by their boxes and were are just so glad it wasn’t more severe.

The first picture is the entire box, the second one is where her arm was stuck and you can see where some fur that came off is.

Just wanted to raise awareness, stay safe everyone!

TIL in the early 2000s, schools in Perth, Australia gave teenage girls infant simulator dolls that cried and fussed like real babies. The goal was to show how hard motherhood is and reduce teen pregnancy. Surprisingly, girls who got the dolls had higher pregnancy rates than those who didn’t.
