edit - Yeah I play video games with violence too, my point is that video games are a mirror that exposes a less brutal image of ourselves than we are convinced of. The truth of what we desire is as often silly or altruistic as it is selfish or violent, even in the realm of fantasy where the violence is unreal as everything else.
I love eating mushrooms, being high as fuck, hitting bricks with my hands and crushing turts all day.
You can’t just say perchance!!!
Call of Duty League?
Commercial Driver’s Licence?
Christian Defence League?the second. its about driving Sims
What I get from simulation video games is that if I didn’t have to worry about working to live and the daily grind of life, I’d work to get real-world experience doing stuff I may like.
Played too much Pokémon, now I run a bet-fueled dog fighting operation
I’d be rolling everything up into a ball as my distant authority figure father berates me.
I guess I’m an immortal autocrat with foresight and pattern recognition good enough to be the global economy by the 16th century.
I play too much 4x.
There would certainly not be any feral pig problems in the US, that’s for sure.
I never understood how “vitality” refers to not any type of armor, but instead an inheret "unkillable"ness until I started looking into wild boars.
I’d be wacking walls and machinery with a pickaxe.
I would sell so many organs
In my case the bodies of my enemies would fuel my armies of the undead leaving a trail of blood and destruction behind me. If the first boss I encounter doesn’t take me out.
And I’d be eating readily available street pizza all the time!
“Hey look, someone left a full ham roast here on the sidewalk! I’m bleeding pretty bad, so I’ll go ahead and chow down! Let me just squat over it real quick, I can usually eat a roast ham in like 0.06 seconds (assuming I’ve lost enough blood).”
I’d be an expert race car driver, or really good at parkour.
This just made me imagine a sport that contains both and it would be awesome, call it Guerrilla Valet.
Imagine your behavior shaped by Ubisoft collect-a-thons. Now that’s grim.
I would be an amazing manager and be very rich
I’m either building a factory in space or an organ harvesting drug empire in space.
Seems like you really like…
