@cavyherd @miguelpergamon I'm totally lost about what ya'll are talking about here. Can you fill me in?

I find it interesting, from my own experience, that video games often are comprised of structured problem solving within clear boundaries and with explicitly stated goals: In many ways it closely resembles something we’d describe as work. Do a unit of work, get a point. Get enough points, you win. Only, the real world is nothing like that. In fact, it’s becoming increasingly less like that with corporate intermediaries and algorithms that are added on top of everything, e.g. empoyers’ Applicant Tracking Systems that automatically throws your job application in the trash because it didn’t include some keyword, or whatever. I think focusing on the dopamine kicks from the games’ rewards misses part of what make video games effective escapism from many alienated youths and adults. It’s the game themselves that are the escape.

If you want to understand a politician quickly from their voting record you look at the instances, often rare, where they did NOT vote with their party. This tells you what they value or who pays them or both.

They typically release 3-5 significant updates a year and have been doing so for several years now.

I'm not going to sugarcoat hard to swallow pills here You want to make a bet for charity? I'll wait until the next time I hear gamers screeching about dlc online. But this time I'll use pretty language and be super wholesome. I guarantee I get 90% the same response from this or any other gaming sub. Care to work out the specifics of that bet? I have long given up giving two fucks about sensible Internet speech. Monkeys can't hold sensible conversations unless they are face to face with social consequences. Call me part of the problem ‍️.
