Anyone here have any vidya related superstitions? Any weird rituals you do when playing games?

Anyone here have any vidya related superstitions? Any weird rituals you do when playing games?

For me it's the belief that good/bad luck comes in streaks, so if I'm doing anything RNG related I will push extra hard if I notice a lucky streak, and if I'm noticing several unlucky signs I will take a break and try again later.

          its not really something you can explain, just watch how many souls you have at a given time, factor in killing everything, normal routes, even abnormal routes have some (13373 if you go backwards to andre and don't die to the titanite demons for example)
          coincidence? of course. that is the nature of the occult.

    killing players in pvp mp takes their power.
    other players gain power if they kill you
    the more you die the weaker you become
    the more you kill without ever being killed, the stronger you become and the weaker they become

    because after the 1st death i stop giving a shit and play like shit and die allot
    but if i dont die and make the other guy die then my power grows and his dies

    I believe this.

      In a psychological way this kind of makes sense.
      Like the same way a taunt in a fighting game is a valid attack, because it's an attack on the player, not the character.

      This is very true though and has been proven through experiments. People who think they're performing well actually do perform better, even if its just placebo. There was that WW2 game where people thought the MP40 was better than the Thompson, even though they had the exact same stats, but because people thought it was stronger they literally played better.

      PS1 days we used to think pressing anything during a loading screen would scratch the disc.

      I had similar things with loading screens as a kid, thought doing certain things made the loading faster because I was too dumb to realize it was just me being distracted.

        There was an off-topic thread abround a year ago where someone posted a picture of their penis with a huge bubble on the tip (claimed it showed up after using a penis pump) and someone edited that bubble onto that wizard picture.

    When presented with two paths I always take the left path first.
    I think it is because I'm left handed, not really a superstition but it is something I do 99% of the time.

      Adventurers always go left!

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      Kind of makes sense since left is often considered the unnatural, wrong or evil way; so going left is more likely to be the optional dead-end path with missable treasure, and right is the correct path that advances the game.

    >Any weird rituals you do when playing games?
    Yes. I play a game for 10 minutes. If I'm not interested in around that time I turn it off and come back to it later, if I'm not interested within another 10 minutes I uninstall it and never play it again.

      How does this work? Do you use a timer? What if the game has a 10 minute intro?

        Then it's clearly not worth playing and would be better served as a movie instead.

    Always save your game at least twice to make sure the save really happened and wasn't just a fake save.

    There is an actual RNGesus of some sorts. I've noticed that sometimes I get unusually lucky streaks where I think of something I want to see in a run, then immediately soon after get it.

    Three separate saves. One going bad is shit luck, two going bad is unusual, three going bad at the same time is almost impossible.

      IIRC one of the greatest Vegas gamblers of all time avoided roulette because of the terrible odds, but every evening before he started gambling he would do a single roulette. If he lost he wouldn't gamble anymore, but if he won he believed luck was on his side and would continue to gamble all night.

        One of the odds for the game is literally 50/50, which is the best odds you'll get in vegas.

    I'm superstitious of the fact that if i play FPS games i will become a homosexual, though my logic is backed up by fact considering the rise of popularity of FPS games, and the rise of homosexuals in the world. Coincidence? I think not!
