Games probably had more social cohesion value in centuries past. They brought people together in local communities, rather than putting people in front of screens, locked down in a digital/global "community" controlled by big tech.
Just because you think it's a waste of time doesn't mean it actually is a waste of time
It was still a rule they had that speaks to a big truth IMO.
hating video games is not a unpopular opinion, nigger.
Excellent point, funnily enough if video games remained purely in the form of arcade machines and the such, they could've been viewed as something akin to amateur sports.
That is completely fair, the subject brought up itt was different though.
No you were saying just that.
What did you expect? Everyone bowing down to you and declaring a holy war against video games as they delete their steam account?
That's one area where I think there could be some legitimacy...but only because those seniors don't have many grandkids etc around to play games with, so now they maybe could benefit by going into a virtual world to get some mental stimulation.
to add to this communities formed and flourished with these old games because they were more free and uncensored so you met people not what feels like a fake person too scared to get knocked out of carefully curated chats.
If I say that shit with cheese and onions on it is way better than shit with sugar, I'm not saying eating shit is "great."
How about films with Joan Crawford or Jean Harlow on them? Now what?
I broke up with a girlfriend one time because I was playing vidya instead of watching CNN.
Again, I was citing examples of artistic cinema. If you cite examples of artistic video games the results are pitiful. And it's been decades. Fair enough if what they offer is enough for you, I disagree. See, when I was a child, KOEI strategy games came off as amazing adventures, I'm not laughing at children. I 'm saying video games are a completely different type of product. They're lame at being art, and they're lame at stories. That's all in fact. There exist some amazing pop music bands, why would you need to insist they're art?
That was a rule against pagan gods. They still made statues for the sake of art, or statues of heavenly beings like angels.
I think you just need to broaden your horizons a bit, want some recommendations?
No. Most people just aren't good readers. They read a book for 5 minutes, and if they didn't have to, they'll drop the book themselves.
someone has been going to fpsnigger gatherings instead of the fighting game tournaments...
No, thank you. I think we have different perceptions, I've been gaming since 1990.
