Yeah, or, like, D2. Actually any of the Warp games. Also FMV games, like Phantasmagoria 2 or Bad Mojo. They're interesting and good things to watch, but would be awful to play.

EVE ONLINE IS MY ENTIRE PERSONALITY BECAUSE IM A FRIENDLESS SEMILITERATE LOSER WHO WILL PEDANTICALLY DEMAND PROOF FOR BASIC THINGS LIKE GRAVITY OR THE EXISTENCE OF SELF. ASK ME ABOUT CHEATING AT TARKOV BECAUSE, WELL, SEE ABOVE
I enjoy watching people who are better than me play and use their advanced knowledge to surpass everyone around them, and then I like using their strategies to become better than them.
