Noclip is kinda the best when it comes to videogames documentaries.

And in many circumstances you can choose/have a right not to answer.

“They learn the language of the stones” make no sense there, no? Are they trying to portray a shift from hardware to software?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Wait you were serious?

Am I the only one impressed by the proper contextualization provided?

I hate AI btw.

they helped me develop a “nose” for strengths and shortcomings in someone’s skillset

In an actual human being? What kind of game are you thinking about here?

My teenage years were spent in Warcraft III. I sucked at it, I’m terrible at multitasking.

It could very well be that you were already good at that and that translated both into enjoying strategy game and succeeding as a Project Manager.

Yea, no. It surely has some positive, just like pretty much anything. But if you look at it as something you do instead of something else, you start accumulating a lot of negatives.

There’s no way any fine motor skill is somehow more developed than, say, playing almost any sport, that involves more than just two hands, and a similar thing can be said as far as teamwork and resilence goes.

On the fantasy side you have to compete with reading or, more broadly, studying.

It probably wins against binge watching b-rated tv series or idlessly watching TV, but if you get the wrong tytle you won’t bring home that much value. (Say you are stuck playing COD on a loop).

I think an healthy varied diet of activities and stimuli is still the way for getting the best out of life.

I know I guy that put Overwatch among his experiences. It was for an IT position and he contextualyzed it as some kind of acquired soft skill.

Is it depressing if you had fun?

I love my time on earth and I think it’s wild that we can experience the intricacies of a realtime mind-battle with hundred of thousands of fellow humans around the world. #noregrets

Now, World of Warcraft… 🤮

I quit League some half a year ago after 10 years of playing. I can see now how impossible it seems to play that consistently when you just consume different games rather than having a single title.

It’s a completely different experience.

As a side note, what’s up with all the people saying “I played a game”, just say what game it is, we are all nerds in here.

1 - they are dog people. They probably married just because the dogs liked each others.

2 - it’s a cartoon.

3 - it’s just a fucking depiction of two people randomly meeting, it’s implied that they hit it off stellarly and, yes, people do MAD CRAZY things such as… marrying a person they are in love with.

4 - bestiality.

Stop trying to avoid having a unique fingerprint that’s basically impossible unless you use Mullvad Browser or Tor.
