I haven't even touched Gregtech yet in the ATM9 pack me and some friends are currently playing on.

Tekkit's fine, I think it's kind of aged like milk though compared to a lot of the newer mods.

Though that era's version of Thaumcraft still can't be beat.

unfortunately vanilla bores the crap out of me anymore (I mostly played vanilla from Beta 1.8 up until like Minecraft 1.7, when some of the first major modern modpacks started showing up), but I always love that sense of wonder with new terrain, I remember seeing the 1.18 terrain gen for the first time and being blown away. Same for the first time (which was on ATM8, actually), where I was in the deep dark and realized the cave it was in went all the way to the surface.

that is awesome. I always try to do towns/cities but never get far. I was making great progress on one but the world got corrupted (it was a custom modpack, my first serious attempt), so that all got lost. then I had a good sized minecolony on ATM8, that got corrupted.

ATM9 is attempt number 3 XD my big project right now is a steampunk-styled magic clocktower. With working clock faces because Create mod.

this was gonna be my answer. though the cabaret club using real people really made me uncomfortable in Like a Dragon Gaiden >.> fortunately only once was mandatory.

also I think it's funny I can pin down the game more or less by the activities, especially Shogi (wasn't introduced until LAD if I recall), the taxi driver from 5.

also speaking of 5, you left out hunting, as there is a hunting minigame for Saejima.

Minecraft for me. it's not "perfect" but I always find myself going back to Minecraft. be it a modded server, trying another modpack, or just building. it's relaxing.
