Does your favorie videogame do ONE (1) OF THE FOLLOWING? *Teach you something you can apply in real life (Education videogame)
*Offer a meaningful story with a powerful moral that can change your perception of life (read: most RPGs dont actually fall into this category)
*Offer you a multiplayer experience that connects you with MEANGINFUL people that actually matter in your life (Most online games don't actually have communities that do this)
If it isn't, GUESS WHAT?? It means your videogame OFFERS NOTHING that can affect or help you in your life in the real world. It doesn't teach you anything, offer you anything you didn't know before you picked up the game, nor would it help you meet someone that can do something for you. Uninstall it, it's garbage.
This is how adults view videogames lads, it's time to grow up. Only buy and only play games that offer something for you
tl;dr but if I understand this meme correctly you should have one final brain image at the bottom with the text "playing games to ruin some kid's fun by pretending to be retarded" or something like that

it's been going on or literally forever. korean f2p games are crawling with couples, especially the ones with marriage/dating mechanics.

Yes. what do you plan to do with that japanese

the problem is the more japanese you learn, the less useful the games become for your self development
you're going to have to branch off into japanese multiplayer games and start talking to japanese people.

If that's how you feel about life, just kill yourself or just go to a site with equally minded people, like that Tsuki meme gong around. It's a literal cult on /r9k/ planning to kill themselves on July 1st. It's hilarious actually.
Austin Campbell
those ranks are backwards. If you don't have fun playing GAMES why even play them at all? Cars get you girls, books get you knowledge and going outside + a combination of the others teach you how to live.
Landon King
No its not.
Asher Mitchell
>RESIDENT EVIL 4
That game is garbage, as you just discovered.
It was good when you were kid, but now that you're an adult, it has literally nothing to offer you.
Metal Gear Solid 2 is a good example of a game that still offers good shit for an adult.
Nathaniel Sullivan
Fuck fun dude. I want an interesting experience, not just mindless fun. I wanna think.

Welcome to 5 years ago, user. This article's from 2012. You can only imagine what the market is now with declining birth rates and all.
Caleb Thompson
You're an idiot with bad taste. Just read a fucking book if that's what you're looking for. Discovering gameplay mechanics in a deep game is very educational in itself. Game stories are all shit compared to books.
Elijah Brooks
Keep fighting the good fight, user
Jacob Edwards
No im depressed because i never had a gf while at the same time having unrealistic expectations of what a relationship is.
With that said some of the best gaming experiences have not been strictly "fun" for me. For example Flower, Sun And Rain is not exactly "fun" but fuck me you are not gonna tell me it isnt a near masterpiece.
Luis Thomas
playing games to get girls should be the smallest brain because that literally doesn't make any fucking sense

Anyone here tried Tinder? I wanna hook up with milfs, just mindless sex no commitment. Will it work?

"Getting something" from a game does not necessarily entail the game to have a good story. It just means the moral or message behind the game has to be good and make you 'think' about something you hadn't previously thought of. You don't need a good story to do this.
MGS2 did this, the persona franchise does this, literally any TeamICO game does this, etc.
i'll post an indie game that is free and does this very well.

Playing games imposes barriers upon all outcomes but that of the first option. If you've learned anything from vidya, it should be efficiency
Kayden Bennett
gibe dumpy pls
Nathaniel Reed
The only thing you can really learn from games is what video game developers are like, and I'm not sure that's a positive.
Kevin Barnes
>You can acknowledge life has no meaning and still enjoy it
The argument the original user posted was "Life has no meaning, therefore I should not care about my self development"
This is a common fallacy, those two ideas aren't actually linked even though the user wants them to be.
Just because you think life is meaningless does not immediately conclude one shouldn't try to improve their character.
Therefore, I concluded that user MUST of been trying to insinuate he doesn't care about life at all, and therefore he should kill himself.

What's sort of interesting is, this sentiment itself only has meaning (as in comprehensibility) because of one's preexisting notions of meaning (as in purpose/telos). If life were meaningless through-and-through, you wouldn't be able to bitch about it, because the word "meaningless" would be a semantic void, just glyphs on a screen. The problem is that you want life to have meaning and see that it ought to, but then can't carry that through---which is still tricky, but it's a different kind of tricky.
Brayden Ramirez
>Finding your wife playing video games is unusual
Not if you know where to look. Pic related is one example of many.
Online dating takes many forms. One service is not necessarily better than the other. It's about what works for you.

A game doesn't have to be an educational game to instill within you the desire to learn. I built my first computer to play video games when I was 15 and now I'm going to school for electrical engineering

Joseph Johnson
>you are talking about such an insignificant percentage though
what's your point? tha it shouldn't be in the OP because it's insignificant?
playing a game to get a girl is at least more productive than playing it to waste time
Kevin Turner

Chase Mitchell
>sex starts out normal but if you give her any leeway she'll immediately become dominant. Fuck the nerd, class rep is the shit, thanks user.
Robert Sanders
Using entertainment mediums for self improvement is a waste of time, they are awful at it compared to real experiences or educating yourself properly. Only reason I can think of someone doing it is if they don't already work on themselves and just want to feel better about wasting time by bringing up some tiny insignificant practical gains.
Daniel White
np Dumpy is a weirdly cute descriptor. I want to make her smile.
Charles Edwards
it keeps my reaction time up
Nicholas Adams
>a meme created by video game journalist
Mason Flores
Not necessarily so. All we need to do in order to extrapolate some sort of conception of meaning (purpose/telos) is some object we recognise as containing purpose. We could, for example, extrapolate it based upon our understanding of the function of tools.
You have failed to prove that the only way we could understand meaning is in reference to our own existence.
Josiah Ramirez
And by "social engineering" you mean scamming right?
Gabriel Hernandez
By your logic you should apply this to a lot of literature, films, and shows as you can only see a new ground breaking thing once until the >Offer a meaningful story with a powerful moral that can change your perception of life becomes already seen before.
