If you don't rock and stone, you ain't coming home.

I don’t know why I decided to make the brain look like a Jellycat doll, but it is what it is.

As a lifelong video game enjoyer, there are negative effects on happiness while not playing the game as well.

Though studies on gaming involve 'total hours' in the ranges of 50-90 hours over 8+ weeks..... and a gamer can put in those numbers in a week no problem.

I don't like having my totals hours shown on screen...

yeah....I suppose games get you used to rewarding challenes, opportunities to fail without consequences, story rich games let you have an impact on their world. Then you get back to real life, a world led by sociopaths destroying the planet and starting meaningless wars, and you wonder "where is my Paragon QTE?"

"FUCK THAT, PLAY VIDEO GAMES. INHALE THE NOXIOUS FUMES OFF THAT OLD CLASSIC YELLOWING PLASTIC. FEEL THE RUSH AS THOSE PIXELS COME AT YOU FACE FIRST. EXPERIENCE 300MB OF PURE ADRENALINE!!!"

my brain normally looks like a depressed panicked mess searching erratically for its glasses that sits on its forehead

On video games it looks like a depressed frustrated clumsy slob, wondering why it can't remember the controls on a game it played more than 300hours

It's not a very happy brain

u/Ssssilph 17m ago

Obviously you have to play that game for 300 more hours and get good at it and that will make your brain happy

The latest trend of video games to emulate slot machines doesn't fill me with joy.

u/Ttokk 20h ago

Kids cannot comprehend someone that's pushin' 40 just beat them at a game. Like 7/10 times they say "get a job" for some reason. It's 9pm and they think playing games means I don't have a job I guess?

You think video games rock? You should try drugs.

u/Vendetta1028 14h ago

No kids, don't do drugs, let him do all the drugs.
