"A classic is an outstanding example of a particular style, something of lasting worth or with a timeless quality. The word can be an adjective (a classic car) or a noun (a classic of English literature). It denotes a particular quality in art, architecture, literature, design, technology, or other cultural artifacts. In commerce, products are named 'classic' to denote a long standing popular version or model, to distinguish it from a newer variety. Classic is used to describe many major, long-standing sporting events. Colloquially, an everyday occurrence (e.g. a joke or mishap) may be described as 'an absolute classic'."

To me, a classic game prioritizes quality over quantity, ensuring a lasting impression. It avoids recurring gimmicks that create a false sense of accomplishment or lead to a dissatisfying experience. Examples of pitfalls include an overwhelming number of collectibles that lack meaningful rewards, repetitive tasks that offer little variety, excessive grinding designed to make the game appear longer, luck-based activities, insufficient challenges, a surplus of fetch quests, and poor risk/reward systems. While many great games may include some of these elements, there is a distinct difference in how they are implemented.

A gaming classic should provide a unique experience that cannot be found elsewhere, even if it draws on familiar elements. This uniqueness should be guided by a clear vision of what the game aims to be, avoiding any unnecessary complications. The pacing must be perfect, ensuring that the game remains engaging without becoming tedious. Mechanics should be well-defined, avoiding hand-holding while also maintaining consistency with earlier-established rules. Ultimately, the game should be fun and appealing not just to those with nostalgic ties but also to new players discovering it for the first time.

I am someone who seeks higher goals. Though I am kind, my shyness can make me appear calm or brooding. I strive for creative expression and believe it’s important for everyone to be fully represented. My desire for harmony in my environment often leads me to cultivate close personal relationships. Mentally, I am quick and intuitive, easily recognizing the thoughts and feelings of others. When I have a strong desire to connect with people, I am open to exploring and embracing new experiences.

I work hard every day at a job that I truly enjoy, as I understand the significance of my decisions and why they matter. I am an avid listener of podcasts that discuss current technology and other thought-provoking topics. My friends consider me semi-knowledgeable about various media, social behaviors, technology, and gaming.

For me, life is one big project, and I approach everything with a business-like mindset, taking one step at a time and viewing things realistically. However, my intense focus on my ambitions can sometimes interfere with other responsibilities, and I can be quite stubborn in defending my goals. At my core, I am a leader, even if my voice isn’t always heard; I tend to demonstrate leadership through actions rather than words.

Everything I've mentioned is subjective. Games have their pros and cons, which can vary from person to person. Just because something doesn't appeal to me doesn't mean it won't appeal to someone else. So, please don't take my opinions too seriously; they're just that—opinions.
