Pass the time pleasantly while I'm waiting for my inevitable physical dissolution and death.

low self esteem

games are fun, that's why they call them games

latent homosexual fascination with joysticks

short concentration span precludes actually doing any work

doing fiddly shit with your hands to entertain your eyes is like primate level shit

ade is what is this "ohhhhhh (x)" tic of yrs about

it's something a lil lolita fuckslave would say as she's being ravaged by some ravenous villain which is something that happens in every JRPG ever (u animals)

i like them because it is very obvious that they stimulate a certain pleasure center in my brain. it's like push buttons, feel good

i can think about them and talk about them and there's ideas and stuff in there i like but it really all comes down to which game can deliver that the most efficiently

How the hell am I supposed to encounter a slime otherwise?

reminds of the interview w/justin wong where he says he likes playing marvel the most out of all fighting games cos he just really likes pushing buttons and u get to do tht a ton w/marvel

Escapism. Reality sucks.

my real reason is because i've been playing them since i was a kid and i just never got in the habit of doing sometihng else ie. going outside. also i was a nerdy weak dork and it was easier than playing baseball. there wasn't a lot to do back in the day.

that winning feeling you get from stomping nubs & friends.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I think for me a lot of the enjoyment is in going into a new game 'world' and slowly figuring out its systems. Obnoxious levels of difficulty aside (which are usually enough to make me pack it in), the more work I have have to put into grasping all of the workings of a game the longer my interest lingers (this, btw, is pretty much exactly what my gf hates about video games). I think this is why, for example, I was mysteriously drawn to try out Madden a while back despite having zero interest in or working knowledge of sports: it was a closed system with unknown rules and mechanics that I could plunge into and slowly try to work out, like pretty much every other game I enjoy. I'm playing the first Persona atm and this fusion shit is pretty involved even compared to most other rpgs I've played.

Second reason: see NV's quality first response itt.
