Okie Dokie - as our community gets larger, and filled with people who are NOT gamers, let's make sure we have definitions clear and front and center. (Male a definitions thread could be stickied to the top?)
To my newbie friends on here, here is the Urban Dictionary definition for NPC. (note: there will be some who add some finesse to this, but this should suffice so you understand the inference above and elsewhere.)
Top definition -- URBAN DICTIONARY
NPC
A play on video games "non-player character" mixed with a play on The Simulation Hypothesis.
An NPC is seemingly a human that is unable to think objectively.
We exist in a simulated reality and some humans take on the role of NPCs, spouting "opinions" they are programmed to spout and repeating in a cult-like manner.
Liberal: (Yelling) Fuck Trump! Ban guns!
Conservative: (Yelling) Fuck Hillary! Ban immigrants!
Friend: Bro, I'm sick of all these people just repeating shit...
Me: Its hard to move forward with all these NPCs.
Ha I wouldn't waste 5 seconds on a game of any kind. It is planned distraction from reality. That is what happened to the Millenials. Time for everyone to grow up and get over your game delusion. That is where the globalist elite want you. In a trance, outside of reality. People are throwing away their marraiges over playing video games. They are stealling our country under cover of sports and video games. Time for this generation to wake up, grow up and suit up.
Great, so because you wouldn't do something, you want to enforce it on the whole world. Can't you see the problem with that?
Moderation, not elimination.
Politics is a game btw, and yes it should have moderation. Politicians routinely have holidays and should be subjected to term limits for example.
A lot of games carry heavy control narratives and subliminally keep you under the thumb of (((them))) and in a compartmentalized box of thinking. Most games with great potential end up being squashed in various ways.
It's like (((they))) don't want to give anyone access to ANY kind of platform where you can expand your horizons and let your imagination run wild.
I don't want a fucking suit, I've seen that movie and it didn't end well.
I don't want to enforce anything on anyone. Enforce means to use force to make someone do something. I am merely pointing out the obvious. Games that distract you from your responsibilities in life are not good for anyone to become a slave to. Games are designed to addict the player so they keep on playing. Just as FB uses the likes and comments to addict everyone to checking in on it every few minutes. We need to be addicted to reality. Eyes wide open! That is my only word of advice. Bad things happen in everyone's life when they are not in control of their decisions or time. Being a slave to anything trival like entertainment is partially why America is in the shape it is in. IF I lock myself in my basement, turn up the music and ignore the rest of my life then if someone was to break in and steal my furniture and take my kids and wife, it would be my fault for ignoring my responsibilities. America has been in the basement with the music turned up. They thieves have all but taken everything in the rest of the house.
I agree with you largely. I think the only thing I have a problem with is the semantics of apparent blanket statements which it seems like you do not necessarily intend.
Games, like music as you point out, can be the crutch that people use to support their addictive/escapism behavior, just like alcohol, food, sex and drugs.
I look at it like guns though. Guns don't kill people, people kill people, guns are just a tool that makes it easy.
Yes, computer games are designed like you say and a lot of morons support the industry by continuing to buy into what is largely a devolving industry, but you can't blame the concept of a computer game any more than an inanimate object that requires participation in order to function.
It is definitely not the games fault that someone is playing it for sure. I am merely pointing out behavior because behavior is the root of all human misery.
And behavior is directly influenced by environment, the same environment (((they))) have been controlling and degrading for so long that young people started to loose the plot in the first place before subsequently taking up these escapism addictions without ever understanding the nature of the underlying problem they are self medicating for.
I was not raised in a rich enough system where I was able to lock myself away to figure out the problem, at least not for very long. I have had to work my ass off and that in turn made me even more motivated (angry) to figure this shit out.
