I know that most of gaming culture centers around clever gadgets and funny memes and such, but sometimes you come across a story that’s genuinely touching, like this destructoid post. In it, D-toider eternalplayer2345 shares his memories playing games for his sick little brother (who enjoyed watching him play all sorts of titles). While his brother has since passed on, the specific memories from games - especially Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, live on for him.

From the piece:

“One example of those games that clicked was none other than the legendary Zelda: Ocarina of Time. OoT was an absolute treat. It was one of those games I started off playing while he would be asleep because at first he hated watching me play it. At some point, he could not get enough of it! There I was in 2005; finally experiencing what was hailed as one of the best games of all time.”

It’s a great read, and not too sappy or long for those who may be wary. It’s also a wonderful example of games being so much more than “just” a hobby.
