Oftentimes, Twitter strings are shortlived things; trends come and go with the latest news. This is especially true when it comes to games. One week the desire for Bayonetta 3 is making waves, the next it’s forgotten in favor of a different title. But some hashtags encourage people to come together over more personal matters, and this is what has led to #GamingConfession, which is trending quite handily at the moment.

What exactly constitutes something tweeted under #GamingConfession? Well, the confessions take on many forms, the only similarity being they are about video games. Many are confessions of childhood crushes, ranging from Halo’s Cortana to Mario’s Rosalina. Others are of gaming habits, such as cruising through Elite Dangerous with the lights off and Guardian of the Galaxy’s Awesome Mix playing. The cruising idea is echoed by another confessor who enjoys cruising around open hub worlds, including Wind Waker. It’s certainly a good way to pick out the differences between Wind Waker’s GameCube and Wii U versions, or to enjoy a virtual, seamless ocean at home.

Other confessions are about what people like and don’t like in specific games. Some confessed how they could never get into certain genres like stealth games. Others confessed that nothing turned them off a game like a poor morality system. On the other hand, some confessed how games had gotten them really into stuff. One confessor got into the metal genre of music after playing Bravely Default. Hopefully Bravely Default 2 introduces people to new musical enjoyment as well when it releases for Switch.

Then there are the confessions that might be considered embarrassing. Some have confessed about spending too much money on a PC rig, others on not replacing a broken monitor. Some confessions are about buying a game multiple times for different consoles. One confessor bought GTA 5 for all its available consoles.

Last but not least are the confessions that may be very significant. One of these is a confession of inflating Suikoden stream views to get Suikoden 2 onto the PSVita. The tweet conflates this with Eiyuden Chronicles being on Kickstarter, hinting the popularity of Suikoden may have been inflated. And it’s from a PlayStation employee. Needless to say, this is a hashtag worth exploring.
