I refuse to do anything productive because humanity is a plague that needs and deserves total extinction.
Pretty fair reasoning, the more I see how the world is turning out and how we all are contributing to so many negative things in our own world, the more negative and secluded I get myself.
Why not have a nice day then?
You should make video games then. Make an addictive grindy F2P that destroys hundreds of lives
it's a fun way to waste my time
i want to kill myself and video games help distract me
To fill the void left from being too much of a pussy to be a real serial killer. As much as people like to think violent games create murderers- which they may have in rare cases- they’ve probably stopped more than anything.
They're fun
My other hobbies, like drawgayging and working out, eventually drain my energy. Vidya is mindless in comparison.
I play them to distract myself from my growing list of real life responsibilities.
What's the alternative, party, drink and do drugs? That's what 90% of my homosexual "friends" want to do, and my other hobbies cost too much money and are weather-dependant to do them more than once per week at absolute most.
Lmao at the fact that you’re such a lonely scumbag you still call those homosexuals “friends” even sarcastically. I bet you are fricking insufferable as a person.
have a nice day you seething moron
Get fricked, loser.
electricity + functional computer = endless vidya
other shit costs money/space i don't have right now
Based. I haven't spent money on anything except games in like 5 years.
Well anon, the reasoning is pretty simple: videogames are fun to a degree most other media do not achieve - I can spend hours playing FF14 because I talk and interact with people which makes activities more engaging, or I could spend hours playing autism simulators like Factorio because it makes you have a goal and achieve it without being too easy or too punishing.
Most other form of media requires you to engage with undivided attention or simply aren't that fun to do. I don't go out partying with friends simply because I don't enjoy it, I could try reading books but there's so much engagement to be had and it is a (mostly) passive action. I enjoy the feeling of being able to quit and return while losing nothing in the process of doing so, unlike sports, artistic hobbies and so on.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.
Thank you for sharing, I like this answer the most and I feel I am the same when it comes to why I like playing video games, it allows you to constantly be doing something or getting "better" at something, while other media is just watch and pretty much take in.
Pretty interesting answer, why do you want to be a serial killer in the first place though?
I like them and have fun playing them.
>Ok but-
I like them and have fun playing them.
That's the only reason I need, but other than that it is also by far my most convenient and affordable hobby.
Why are boomers such homosexuals?
I don't actually play video games, I just post about them here.
In Final Fantasy 7 close to the beginning of the game, Cloud tells a story about his assignment five years before the start of the plot. Where he's a badass soldier that was there to investigate a faulty reactor and it ends with Sephiroth turning on him. Besides the narrative holes in Cloud story there's a bunch of mechanical holes in it too. If Cloud is this gig a chad top 10% of humanity then why is his level so low? You can't say it's a game play oversight because Sephiroth level is so high Cloud actually starts out weaker than he starts the game with so he has gotten stronger over time. And then the plot twist comes up. Cloud was never in Soldier, he was just a random mook. His level was so low no matter what he was saying he didn't know what it felt like to be that strong so he couldn't recreate it in his mind. Even more interesting than that though is that you can check Cloud's equipment. Sephiroth has an arsenal of Master Level material but the only thing Cloud has is a lowly preemptive materia. It's function is to provide a low chance of catching enemies from behind. Only to discover later that the only reason Cloud survived his engagement with Sephiroth was that he got a surprise attack and stabbed him from behind, critically weakening him.
That's the sort of thing I love about video games. There's a level of interactivity that just doesn't exist in movies and books. You can poke at the world a little and see what happens. Actual mechanics can enhance certain elements of the world you're playing in. Even if it's a linear game, it's a linear thing that you get to participate in. And I really like that.
I have actually never put a lot of attention to what you just shared but that's actually pretty awesome.
I have played Final Fantasy 7 like 3 times and never really put attention to this, but yes, the fact you are actually interacting and doing things in the world lets you connect and get much more of a richer enjoyment for the game.
10/10 Example anon
I have ADHD so watching tv and movies are too slow paced for me, and I don't want to spend all my leisure time reading.
