Are there any games or series out there that you gave a chance and really tried to like until they inevitably broke your heart, as many boys<\/span> games do?<\/p> Sometimes you might even still have feelings for the games, or even love the time spent together, but you just know they aren’t for you now. The following are thank-you notes I’ve written the games that I’m never, ever, ever getting back together with. Feel free to write your own in the comments.<\/p> Thank you, Mortal Kombat X<\/em>,<\/p> For driving the final nail in the coffin of secret characters. I now accept that unlockables, especially in the form of hidden characters or outfits, are dead. <\/p> —<\/p> <\/p> Thank you, League of Legends<\/em>,<\/p> You kept me company when I was all alone, sometimes for up to eight or more hours a day. I’m sorry that you started seeing other people; people who mostly spout garbage and toxicity. I’ve heard you’ve cleaned up recently, but I’ve moved on. <\/p> —<\/p> <\/p> Thank you, Words With Friends<\/em>,<\/p> For ripping off Scrabble<\/em> and capitalizing on it. I actually enjoyed our time together until I started getting text messages — on top of your already plentiful notifications — telling me it was my turn. <\/p> —<\/p> <\/p> Thank you, Mario Kart<\/em>,<\/p> We had such fun times together on the Nintendo 64, back before you were all about micromanaging parts of karts and had far too many items. Back before you needed a spreadsheet to pick your karts, there also used to be dedicated balloon battle arenas. Those were the days.<\/p> —<\/p> <\/p> Thank you, Sega,<\/p> You were a large part of my childhood. Golden Axe<\/em>, Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em>, Ristar<\/em>, and others were my jam. I’m glad you never remade Golden Axe<\/em> or made a game where Sonic the Hedgehog <\/em>is a werehog with stretchy arms or kisses a human. I’m so<\/em> not in denial.<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":193187,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[468,1312,2394],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":42,"display_name":"Jed Whitaker","user_login":"Jed Whitaker","user_nicename":"jed-whitaker"}],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
