The odd point I reached with videogames.

[redskinsfan92]

I can't quite out my finger on why, but I hit a point where my videogame obsession vanished nearly overnight. Before 2016 I was as big a videogame nerd as anyone. Destiny, Portal, Battlefield, Mass Effect, etc. Hated any fantasy style sword games. Used to buy games at launch. Played games daily. Went to midnight launches. Then in 2016 it all stopped. I lost interest. Sure, I do own two consoles and a pc. I play occassions. Played and completed Detroit: Become Human. I found moderation though. I'm honestly glad. If you play hours everyday, stop! Go to the gym. Go hiking. Read a book. Get out of fantasy land.

With that being said, what would you say are some recommended Red Pill games? Any games with an alpha male?

I use games as an escape, and to exercise my brain and imagination. I'll never, not be a gamer.

Many games, that are shooters, usually have an alpha male.

It’s good that you found a way to moderate game time.

One avenue you might consider is board game meet ups. It’s more social and cooperative in person rather than behind a screen.

I used to have a cool place I would go to once a month. Lots of people showed up. I just walked over to a table and introduce myself. I also like that they served beer on tap and often had a food truck or some food option nearby.

 

[redskinsfan92]

Ah, the good old games. Destruction Derby 2 and Driver were my favorites as a child.

It's very sad to see someone extremely addicted to video games. It can ruin relationships, families, and friendships.

The only games I really play are on vintage systems, and it's usually on ones that I repair. I can't manage 20 fvcking buttons on a controller, and I have no desire to train my brain to work with that. The most recent system I've gamed on was a PS/1, and that's when it was a current gaming system around 20 years ago.

As for alpha games, I really enjoy Speedball 2 for the Amiga.

I rarely play video games nowadays but used to be quite into them as a kid.

The first computer I had was an amiga 600, and there were some really bizarre games that I would play on that thing.

If i had to say some alpha games I would go with the first Doom. I actually got nightmares from that game.

Some of my fav games of all time are as follows:

Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy 8
Golden Axe - sega
Altered Beast -sega
Command and Conquer
Theme Park
Theme Hospital
Age of Empires 2
World of Warcraft (yes I was a bit of a geek)
micro machines -sega
Resident Evil

Probably tonnes more but I cant remember.

Anyone remember a game for the PS1 where you would have to try and turn on Jenna Jameson? If you managed to get her aroused by tapping the right buttons she would start sucking your **** LOL. I think my dad ended up throwing it in the bin once he found out I had it.

Some rentals on the first Xbox (2001) which was my first console, than had a Xbox 360 (but never played it or got a game for it)
Some games I was too young to remember the name... from the 1980-1995 on computer..

Gaming used to be a life style for me... a solo one.

Now, I am all about outdoor, social activities, sport. You grow up... you realize gaming unless you make a ''living'' out of it... you aren't being ''productive'' otherwise... sure you make friends but does playing games make your life better ?

Now I play around 2 hours each 3 months or year.

Interestingly I find that older game (pre-2005) are much harder than current ones

 

[Who Dares Win]

Older games had no technology or graphics to make up for a crappy concept so they had to be high quality, they were also made for a selected number of players and there was no "partecipation reward" at all.

Many games nowadays all you have to do is keep playing just to go unlock achievements, I recall many older games had me stuck for days in hard parts while current ones are just a long way of green lights.

Do you remember old GTAs? no sh1t the current average gamer could survive certain missions.

The first ever GTA was epic. I loved that game. I also liked how it birdseye view rather than 3rd person. What a game. And yea it was hard as hell.

A few more all time favs that I remember:

Monkey Island series
Broken Sword series

Mortal Kombat
Street Fighter

Lemmings
Cannon Fodder

Silent Hill was also pretty good. Gave me nightmares.

Magic Carpet

 

[Poonani Maker]

I played in my early 20s long enough to kill me 48 hours one time I'd say. It was all about saving money. Yes, I was even broke enough to limit how much gas I'd use. Only made $8/hr then. Still it's no excuse. Today I will only game for 3 hours a weeks possibly 6 hours, but no more. Books indeed are more favorable and more mind altering. It's all about the author. A damn good author can shape your mind, not just what you learn reading his material. You think, damn that's some intricate stranglehold this man has on a character or historical figure or just a flyby unknown in history no one knows about, but somehow he dug up and interpreted. An author that digs Deep into personality traits and ways and manners giving you an accurate portrait of a man/woman of a time hundreds of years ago, or in the case with sci-fi, the future. You begin to think of death and how this author is going to his grave having thought explorative thoughts no one has put pen to paper on for others to read. You enter the mind of someone from the 1940s who generally had a world view much more correct than the one you now possess. We have so many distractions. Books bring minds from different worlds into your mind and you begin to view things differently from your own eyes looking out from under your eyebrows, out from the hardened case that is your skull, which houses your brain.

I actually had the same exact thing happen to me about 2 weeks ago. I just stopped for whatever reason. I watched a let’s play/walkthrough of Detroit: Become Human actually though. That is one ****ing hell of a game. I LOVE those types of games tbh. I love how it’s essentially all decision making and judgment based. I feel that it works on critical thinking and your overall decisiveness. In addition to your ‘detective’ and ability to analyze too. Awesome stuff. To some of you older folks, look into it. Your decisions impact the game far beyond what you could believe to be possible. I’ll just watch those games for the story really (most books and tv shows suck to be honest).
