I do play games on hard.
Yes I'm a huge masochist, I love it so much/

Thanks for the responses so far. Keep it up, and any additional details are appreciated.

Its for a paper on how sexuality leaks into day to day life, if anyone's curious. I'm focusing on how people's recreation are affected in particular, and vidya is what I know best.

Yes but I'm not a true masochist I just like struggling and pain before I reach pleasure, I don't derive as much pleasure from the pain until after I achieve something.

Psychology?

1. No, I don't enjoy feeling overly frustrated, but I don't like it when things are too easy either, so normal usually suits me fine.
2. No, I don't consider myself to have those.

Yes
No, actually. I seem to have a rather low pain threshold and can't stand most of it. I guess my masochistic tendencies are more psychological, because, for instance, I also love anything in the horror genre, and god knows that's always some form of masochism to engage in.

Sexology. Its just some classes I'm taking for fun. The subject fascinates me, but I know it's not a practical degree.

Yes, and I do.

it's more about bragging that I have the cunning, the hand eye coordination and the patience for a difficult situation. if you are a masochist, kill yourself. I assume it would be the ultimate pleasure for both of us

1.Yes
2.No, I play on hard mode in my first playthrough to make a game challenging. I blame Bloodborne for making me this way.

I think we know who the real masochist is here

No I play on easy. When I want a non-artifical challenge I play multiplayer games.
Its always funny when people who are "good at video games" get dumpstered when put against another player.

Well, its best to write about what you know.

I only play games on hard when I know they're well designed enough to handle it.

Like, playing something like Farcry 3 on hard is great because the game is mostly stealth focused and the small amount of health you are given means you can't just grab an AK and spray it around and still win.

A game like Uncharted is designed to have enemies shooting at you all the time form all angles which means having less health and making the enemies bullet sponges is just going to make it more frustrating instead of challenging.

I'm not a masochist, no.
I mean, I like getting hit, just not in a sexual way.

You could talk about all the characters appealing to homosexuals ( traps and that stuff) and explain how the gaming industry in progressing and helping to integrate these ideals into society

Nah, that stuff is too boring and political.
