[QUOTE="rentier, post: 67968, member: 306"] Tales of a recovering alcoholic. One of the most lucid boomers I know (which is to say, an era-defining intellectual) is heavily pro-gaming and he insists it reset your brain from being stuck in a rut. Let's even flip the script and pretend that personality is not an obscure Internet-who from a ESL country, but Elon Musk - that one famously plays video games. I myself haven't been playing video games in ..a while, then I launched Dead Island 2 through a shady cloud streaming service (costs peanuts, 3-4 hours of gaming for $1 and no pre-purchasing of games) and my brain just went boom. What the fuck was that. An experience similar to landing in a Shanghai airport. So my plan for the upcoming years it to catch up with BioWare output (I missed all Dragon Age games, I didn't even play Mass Effect; and I frankly never got serious with Neverwinter Nights or Baldur's Gate) and I'll just play through whatever, already do. I don't think it detracts anything from me, scrolling random content feeds is somehow more damaging to the mind. Whereas you stay in the concentrated state during vidya experince and if it's rendered in 3D, it's basically poor man's tourism trip. [/QUOTE]
