Reality vs Adventure

I think certain themes in a game can boost a certain individual's esteem. Kids for example love superheroes and playing a game they love would probably make them enact that character in real life making them feel brave and righteous. A psychological game with a good outcome from some kind of abuse can boost that person's esteem that had similar issues. Simulation games can help break away fear barriers like heights, if they played a flight simulator or something. And even games with a strong character having a controversial sexual orientation can help boost the esteem of others. Personally, I can't think of a way gaming has boosted my esteem. I think VR can really help some people with esteem problems by having a public speech game. Cause who wants to speak in front a bunch of people?

I played my first play through and lost. I couldn't affect the world lol. It's more difficult than I thought. It is trippy to think about infecting the world, but you actually can learn a good deal about it. It definitely is an interesting strategy game. One interesting thing I found playing it was how the world responds to it, and part of the strategy is to sow doubts in people so that they enable it to spread. And during this real life pandemic, it sounds all too familiar here at home. This really is real world stuff!

No athlete or anyone else should ever have to go through that crap. It's a team effort, but people always want to look for a scapegoat, but to be blatantly racist about it is just another level of hate. Those same people would praise and cheer if he made the goals, but attack his skin color when he doesn't. These things aren't gonna change and will only continue to get worse because jerks at the top like Boris Johnson condones that behavior. People simply need to be punished for being racist. I say start fining them for racist attacks. Once they get punished at the pockets, then they will start to listen. We get fined for things for far less than racism. We can't depend on people to just change their rhetoric. We can't depend on those at the top to change their rhetoric. We have laws against hate crimes; it's time to treat racist rhetoric as a threat because it ultimately is. This shit is gonna leave psychological scars on those young athletes. Racists can't be allowed to abuse people in that way. It IS abuse.

I love horror games and I've found you need both if the game has an indoor and outdoor setting. In Evil Within 2 there is a 1st and 3rd person option. When I'm indoors I like to use the 1st person because it lets me see everything up close and is more intense. It also doesn't have the character's body blocking every bloody view. But when I go outside there is no way I want to be stuck in 1st person so I use 3rd. That way I can see if I'm hidden and just works for me better. Plus, if there is action outdoors, it's hectic trying to get a good shot when I am attacked in first person mode. I can't see what is going on. But indoors it's just different and 1st person works. The Last of Us of course bends so many exceptions if you want to categorize it as horror, which it is and isn't. Layers of Fear-1st person all the way no doubt.

I was thinking more of windmills cause cancer, but you nailed the realism better! Faux news on weather: must watch

That is all fox news is. And now they are going to have a weather channel, or should I say a weather disinformation channel.

We live in two different worlds, let's leave it at that.

Those mofu bastards! For me personally, I hate the idea because something like that will eat up all my satellite gigabytes. If they can make it where there is a single player mode and offline mode, where I can just update whatever new setting they add as they go, then it could work. I don't see any reason why you would constantly need the internet if you aren't playing against or with other people. The whole thing I loved about AC games was being able to explore beautiful worlds. I don't need some shit head running around in there with me. I don't think everything is clear at this point, but they better not leave out the single player offline mode fan base. Cause they would just cut me off from their series. Hope you hear this Ubisoft. You deaf? And get your employees straight you bigots. You're losing it.

Republican Rick Santorum caught on video saying that republicans: "No no no, we don't want the will of the people to be done immediately because you have the passions of the majority, that remember our constitution was set up to protect who? The minority rights. Not the majority rights." Last I remember is that a democracy is the majority, not minority rule. But republicans have it in their head that the minority population should have more rights and should govern. And the electoral college gives them minority rule, along with their voting oppression bills. How can a country go forward with this kind of thought? That's why they don't like fair elections anymore. That's why they are against the fundamentals of democracy. How much more do they have to be caught saying? They are telling us. They are saying that the majority and democracy no longer matters to them. https://www.businessinsider.com/video-rick-santorum-says-republicans-dont-want-the-peoples-will-to-be-done-immediately-2021-7

I don't want to go down this road again, but I can't let it slide. The Russian thing is a topic in itself where republicans obstructed justice. Do you really want to attack the media again? Sure, the media isn't always correct, but they need and have free speech. The problem of free speech comes in when the news spreads conspiracies that incites violence like fox news does. They spread misinformation about the pandemic, vaccines, elections, and use talking points of white supremacists.

I think that would be pretty cool to have real storms and its effects. The only games where I've seen that are AC Black Flag and the ocean waves and tornados, and sand storms in Mad Max/AC Origins. There was a quest in Witcher 3 traveling in different worlds and the snow was so cold it affected his health and could kill him. But it would be cool to see more of that. I want realism, then have a flash flood and trap you in a certain part of the map. Seek shelter in a hurricane. You die once the temp is too low. I wouldn't want them to get carried away with it as it can take away from gameplay, but a little is good. Some games have the option to change from day to night. I usually don't use the feature that much, but always good to have. I like having day night cycles as long as it doesn't go by so fast.

There is no getting out till you pop your pills and do therapy. They will never believe you. Those places are designed to make you fail. If you take any random person and put them in an asylum and go through their questioning and tests, 100% of the time you will be diagnosed with something and forced to get help against your will. That's why they banned the forcing of people to get admitted, at least in the U.S. I can't imagine the horror people actually went through when your family members or peers can admit you without permission.

I put a rag over mine after it has cooled for a while to protect from dust overnight and during the day if I’m not playing. But my system stays in rest mode most of the time.

There really aren’t any rules in real life. There are laws which are created by man and always change. Depending on who is in power, those are the rules. And even then people fight wars over those rules. Then there is religion with guidance and principles that people pretend to follow, and people fight wars over. There is a quote in the Assassins Creed games that I love: Nothing is true; Everything is permitted.

Desantis in Florida HB 233-law requiring surveys at unversities-you can look it all up And since there are several states that passed the anti CRT bill, you can also go and look up each one. The states I know of are Florida, Texas, Arizona, Idaho, and Iowa that have been passed. Then there are about at least 15 more states that has the bill which hasn't been signed into law yet.

The internet is at your fingertips. I have a hunch where you stand, so if you want to talk about books in schools teaching racist CRT then you need links.

So now at a big conservative conference in Dallas, the republicans outlined a plan of treason to get rid of Biden and reinstate trump. These are the things they talk about. Along with culture war, critical race theory, and a plan of treason, this is what the republicans now run on. Absolutely no policy. Nothing new to the table except treason. Just look at this, they even passed these cards out: (would be good nazi memorabilia for the future to sell on eBay): https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-reinstated-7-point-plan_n_60e8cbace4b00edbf3833e8c

I worded that wrong-I didn't mean you were under 18 😆

I'm glad you at least have someone to help you out at times. I can't imagine someone in your position and under 18 being cut off from gaming. Doesn't seem like there are any exceptions.

He's telling the people they let themselves get controlled by limiting their options. And that is just as sinful.

There’s nothing like oppressors claiming advocacy against racism is racist. Awareness shouldn’t be taught in schools. And universities need mandatory surveys to see what their beliefs are. Do you think the new bills passed by republicans are good? The bills where a teacher can be fired for talking about racism. The bill where university staff and students need a survey of their beliefs by law? Are you all for those bills?

Too much at once is not good for me because I'm trying to remember one thing, then another and another while a quest is going on and I gotta follow somebody or fight something while I supposed to read a tutorial. WTF. Other times it's too slow and I've already got battle scars and blood stains, 1,000 notches on my shield and then they want to show me how to parry. Well, duh.

I can watch a whole season in one sitting cause it's so good.

I didn't know it was so bad over there. Being from the USA and the whole facial recognition thing just sounds creepy. But it sounds like they could also have a phone/internet addiction because if you take games away, they are still gonna be on their phones and still gonna go to the cafes for internet. So after they limit game usage, the government will then limit phone usage. I mean, why not; they limit the number of children they can have. And once they turn 18, then it's addiction time again. Their real intentions is probably to free up the servers and satellites. The over 18 group will be next. But I'm just speculating.
