I’d squeeze both Spaceballs and The Last Starfighter into that list between 6 and 3.

Colonel Sandurz: Try here. Stop.
Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?
Colonel Sandurz: Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now.
Dark Helmet: What happened to then?
Colonel Sandurz: We passed then.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at now now.
Dark Helmet: Go back to then.
Colonel Sandurz: When?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: Now?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: I can't.
Dark Helmet: Why?
Colonel Sandurz: We missed it.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now.
Dark Helmet: When will then be now?
Colonel Sandurz: Soon.
Dark Helmet: How soon?

Baldurs Gate 1.

Yep, unless MLB comes out with a correction/memo, the precedent has been set.

In every RPG ever, I play a human or half-elf male, with long-ish brown hair who is either a fighter or thief (or multiclass/hybrid if it’s an option in the system). A neutral good light- or medium-armoured swordsman who is a swashbuckling jack-of-all-trades, but terrific in a fight.

It’s a problem I have where I only ever play an idealized version of myself in games. I can’t roleplay as a high-elven princess who wields mighty magic while the blood of dragons courses through her veins, or a bloodthirsty half-orc barbarian whose loyalties only lie with whoever pays the most.

I don’t roleplay as a fantastic fantasy character, I roleplay as Steve from Canada, just transposed into a fantasy system

Edit: fuck I just realized I made this a top level comment instead of replating to @ThayWizGwar@lemmy.world

Double edit: fuck interneting is hard
