the person you're performing for... is you!
Singleplayer / offline games are great for having a good time. You can see
some great stories, play some engaging mechanics, and think about hard
questions. Singleplayer games are great! You can learn so much from them. And
they're a great, low pressure, way to relax and unwind. I love video games of
all kinds!

being "good at video games" does not mean "are you good at beating the game"
being "good at video games" means "can you make the experience enjoyable for
other players by using your character in an expressive and dynamic way"

I like games that test my reflexes
I also like games that test my wit
but most of all I like games that test my patience with strategy

when I play games, the theme only matters when it's being sold to me.
after, once I start playing, I stick around if the mechanics are good.
hence, why I loooooove video games but spend like 30$ on them every 6 months

most of the world has no idea what goes on in most of the world.
who could ever know everything? its impossible to be over-hear-ed.
I love video games! but I don't like Breath of the Wild because there's so
little picking-up-and-throwing things, and instead you use your magical
insights to do sorcerer powers which solve all of your biomechanical
puzzle-toy-boxes. heck the dungeons are like 5 minutes tall!

all you need is to be steam friends with one person and then your whole

Yep! back in the day be-fore "four play" you could generally only single-play,
and for "four play" you'd typically find friends be-fore play-ing.

@user-110 Exactly! I play games to practice strategy and empathy, not to stand
triumphant over a virtual foe. Why should I care for the lessons of others
when mine so often go unlearnt?

video games are useful for inspiring the mind engaging in a child's play,
teaching lessons of strategy through the observation of mechanics engaged, or
filling the heart with emotion, as any good artwork will do.

these two things took me all evening. I played some video games too. I put
them in one so you don't have to see so many of them.

sometimes the best way to understand why things are the way they are is to ask
why they aren't the way that seems logical to you.
usually someone will correct you and say "oh it's because X Y and Z" and you
say "cool" and change your direction
but sometimes their answers "unlock" part of your past understandings, thus
creating new questions.
Sorta like in a video game when you level up a certain building/research path/
milestone / whatever and it finishes a "tier", thus giving you a larger bonus.
??? yeah so anyway more questions are good because they give you more
perspectives on what's going on around you.

I don't really like singleplayer games
sometimes a multiplayer game is too much effort to play with extra players,
like Factorio where like anytime I'd play with other people they'd just kinda
fuck off and do their own thing (whatever, I wanted to design a factory
together, not play singleplayer together >.>)
sometimes a multiplayer game has no players, RIP
sometimes a multiplayer game has incredibly skilled players who shit on noobs
and don't teach, RIP
and sometimes a multiplayer game has no IRL friends that are into it,
(personal RIP then)
... anyway, games are fun and we should play more of them. I wish I didn't
have so much time to waste, but hey I guess that's where I'm comfortable, so...

To defeat community, all they have to do is get you to have more fun with
their people until you start spending time away from the enmeshed people who
know you. Honeypot style.

speedrunners forget how to play (toy) their favorite toys and learn how to
play (instrument) their favorite instruments
EDIT: it can be relearned. focus on the tandem.

you're good enough
your efforts are worth it
you are valid
you are loved
trust yourself, be honest with others, and find reasons to be affectionate to
others
breathe in, breathe out, and remember: everybody poops. How absurd. How silly.
Can you really take anyone seriously if you imagine them pooping? I know I
can't. Maybe that's juvenile, but it works for me so

whoa, cool! So with one of these you can flash any ROM you want onto the
cartridge and it should play any GBA/GBC game you uhhh legally own and have
pulled the ROM from? If so that's pretty neat

this game is what we are missing
thank goodness for that
for if this is missing in our timeline
we'll be better off at last
we can have games, stories, and practice wars
but none of them are precious
precious implies worth
they are worth nothing but entertainment
no problem solving utility
nothing of value
save for perhaps the spatial awareness and strategization that comes
from being a part of such a deadly ba-lance.
anyway game time teehee just for me, don't worry about it I'll show
you why it's a HORRID THING
that won't be coming to our shores, no siree
bye

it is significantly more engaging to watch people play MMOs when they've
unbound all their action bars from their number keys and are forced to click
on all the abilities. That way you can actually follow what moves they're
doing.
