Roblox is a platform where literally anyone who was a pc that runs slightly better than a potato can probably make a game of their own if they try hard enough. Or maybe at least an obby.

By the way, I'm not here to write about the Roblox Corporation's business practices or any such stuff here. Other people already cover this and probably better than I would if I wanted to. I just wanna gush about cool games that other people have made. :)

Google tells me that this has been going on since 2006, but I personally have been only vaguely aware of its existence for some years now, until 2022, when my curiousity got seriously piqued. Being the Animal Crossing fan that I am, while playing New Horizons I was making use of Nookazon, a site that helps players trade stuff in the game. It's pretty cool. The devs of the site also run another site called Traderie that does the same things but for a whole slew of games.

I was looking through, and noticed a game with cute looking animals called "Adopt me", and when I looked further I was surprised that it said "Roblox" somewhere on there. What? This was a Roblox game? I kept looking and saw some cool dragons and stuff. It's a Roblox game too! I was seriously surprised, I thought Roblox was like building blocks and unimpressive graphics, but here I saw interesting stylized models and such. And exactly at that point I wondered: "What the heck are they doing over there!?"

And so, that was on my mind for a while, until I eventually decided to bite the bullet and try it out. In February of 2022, I went and got an account, dressed up my silly avatar in what little choice of free cosmetics I had, and slowly took in everything that the site has presented to me. I tried my first game, got hooked, and the rest is history. Eventually I got a few robux, made my character look amazing, and realised what kind of content I'm dealing with here.

Perhaps it's no surprise that on a platform that lets you develop games for pretty much almost free, that there will be Experiences (as Roblox calls them) that will be made just to make a quick robuck. Right now, I know that Roblox is chock full of "games" that aren't exactly good, and you have to dig through these to find the real gems, or maybe they will just get recommemded to you, because of their rightful popularity. In any case, just looking for something good can be fun and exciting in itself. Here I want to ramble about any Roblox games I find particularly interesting and ones I genuinely like.

At the time of writing I'm 20+ years old and I'm not ashamed to say that I really like Roblox!!!
