Doing things in games because it simple felt good. (feddit.uk)

I've been thinking about the PS1 game 'Driver' a lot recently. It's a game I spent a lot of time on during my youth, and whilst I'm sure it doesn't hold up some 20 years later, it was still a highlight from my 'gaming youth'.

As much as I know I enjoyed it however, I don't remember all that much about it. Aside from pulling the perfect reverse hand-break-turn in order to leave the garage/lockup area and begin the game proper. I didn't need to pull this manoeuvre of course, I could just, you know...drive out, but something felt so incredibly satisfying about it that I couldn't stop myself.

Which brings me to this point of this thread. What's something you do in a game for no reason other than it feels damn good?

In Minecraft I run in one direction for half an hour and build little forts. I don't sleep in the bed and when I die I die. There's a neat sense of satisfaction finding all the little things I've left behind.

I used to do pixel art too so I've run into giant glowstone Pikachus in the past

More than ten years ago, I played with coworkers in a Minecraft beta server at a place I used to work.

Recently I was told that the server still existed and one of my ex-coworkers still maintained and played actively on it being the only one left.

He built around whatever others did, so I could (theoretically) still find all the cubic dirt houses we made.
