Sometimes I forget that I can info dumping here lol...
I could just explain plot of my favourite things here instead of getting sad that I don't have friends that like the same things as me or that have the same hobbies like gaming or anime or even any kind of thing that Disney put their hands...
Well i love info dumping also about over analysing my favorite thems with things I'm learning like marketing or anything that concerns capitalism bulshit because yes I understand their tactics but I let myself go in their lies because I love collecting things and that is just me let capitalistic tecnics go in my mind

really weird that we advertise games as “so addictive!” like that doesn’t work for any other product. that is kinda a fucked up thing that companies just openly admit is purposeful

The gaming community is going through a cultural shift when it comes to "addiction towards gaming"
For sure, personal responsibility, and defending a hobby so persecuted for years to the point of stigma despite no evidence to support it, there's a very obvious reason people will look at these lawsuits and mock them, and if you want to pretend like the only reason is to defend companies, you clearly don't know the community you're discussing.
But now we have companies hiring literal addiction experts to hook people into gambling problems and more. I absolutely have to consider supporting idiot parents suing companies for their failure as parents. Not because the parents are remotely right having failed their parental responsibilities (don't have kids if you're not ready) but solely because setting a precedant is literally good morally and logistically.
We need to abolish the very concept of an addiction expert being hired for games. It'll solve alot of problems in the industry, and save people in the future.

Me, playing Civilisation, at odd hours of the morning: Just one more turn, then bed.
Me, playing Minecraft, at hour 18: I'll do one more trip and then I'll go to bed.
Me, playing Factorio, and dawn is poking over the eastern horizon: I'll optimise this part and then bed.
Me, playing 7 Days to Die when my carpal tunnel is literally burning with agony: I'll clear this last building, then I'll stop.
Me, playing C&C, going over old missions I had done before: I'll start the next mission, see how it it starts, and then bed so I can get, shit, 4 hours of sleep.
And then I gave up gaming. It was hard and took a try or two, but I succeeded.
Or so I thought.
Me, on an actual excavator, at 9:30 at night when I have to get home and be up at 5:30 the next morning: You know what, just one more scoop won't hurt, will it?
And that, kids, is the mentality one has when they bog an excavator, in a hole, at 10:30 at night.

Video game I saw in a dream. It was in this low poly style like an older video game. You play as this character I think was meant to be a lamb, or maybe a weird mix of a lamb a mouse and a rabbit, (while not really looking like any of those things) and you’re running away from a wolf. Your objective is to last as long as possible before the wolf catches and eats you.
The house you’re running in is endless and bizarrely put together like most building interiors in dreams are (like the infinite toilet dream dimension on Reddit lol) the layout of the house is pretty detailed, you can stop and hide in places like closets or bins while the wolf looks for you, you can go up and down stairs and into rooms etc.
You never actually know where the wolf is or how close it is to you until it appears in your line of sight, it makes no noise and the game gives you no way of knowing where it is, and it’s pretty unpredictable it doesnt move at a consistent pace. When the wolf catches you there’s an animation showing it eating your character

Shocking Research Discovers That Gamers Are Overall Pretty Healthy Gone are the days of the gamer as a slovenly neckbeard, because a new study suggests that, actually, your average video game enjoyer is a pretty healthy person. The study, published last fall in the journal Computers in Human Behavior, investigated the physical and mental health of 270 Portuguese gamers who reported playing video games […] https://futurism.com/neoscope/research-gamers-pretty-healthy
