Posts from Are GAMES more interesting than life?

Somewhere in the middle of July, it will be 10 years since I first became interested in computer and video games. When the total amount of time spent in another reality exceeds several years, you begin to look at the world through different eyes.

In a world full of filth, defiled by the waste products of humans and other "higher order" organisms, by the moral decay of society, and the stench of individual thoughts, there is an island of happiness—a small atoll of joy surrounded by an ocean of unimaginable pleasure—computer and video games. They are truly living creatures; they can replace almost everything.

Games are a world of dreams, long forgotten but not lost, stored deep within the heart (soul). Without games, we begin to grow callous and old in this monotonous life.

Who else is interested in games, for how long, and what has it given them? Do they regret the time spent on them?

A familiar feeling... but for me, it comes from books. )
As for games, I play them to relax and enjoy the beautiful visuals, and I simply love the themes of the eternal struggle between good and evil :D

Now, for something more serious: a world that is "full of filth and defiled" is nothing more than the result of complete, unhealthy escapism into those virtual worlds... avoiding reality instead of fighting it...

...So why not adopt the spirit of change and the desire for self-improvement from these fictional heroes and start changing this, real world? ) ...

The real world (if it actually exists, and it's not just a set of sensations) has no new horizons.
Everything that the "real" world offers has already been experienced in the past. And you are just walking along a well-trodden path like a template doll.

I meant that the game world is more diverse and allows you to look at the physical world in a different, more diverse way.
That is, you see things that you didn't notice or pay attention to before (while living only in the physical world).

Those who notice what the world offers receive a great reward. A broader perspective,

The game is about interest and entertainment, and life is about life.

I probably agree more with the saboteur))) because you can’t use cheats in real life... that’s why life is more interesting.

and do you also not cheat in games?

I don't cheat, but the fact that you can use codes or trainers in games is what matters... but you can't do that in real life.

MoonBoy, if you spent less time playing games and more time exploring the real world, you would understand how beautiful it is. Here's a piece of advice:
Travel the world by hitchhiking, and you'll discover how wonderful and infinite our world is, and how much new and beautiful things it still holds...
You've simply immersed yourself in games and believe that this is reality, when it's actually the other way around.
The conclusion is, you need to hang out with girls and drink with guys in nature! Then you'll understand what makes reality interesting!

Hex+1))) Well done!! You're right: games are good, but reality is even better!!! There's no comparison!! And you can't get so seriously involved in games!!! The world is beautiful!! And what about meeting friends, having barbecues, drinking beer? And love?? Kisses?? Sex, finally?? Are those also in games?? No way!! So, come out into reality more often!! Especially in spring!! It's the season of love!! Summer is coming soon!! And do you swim in games too???)))

MoonBoy, you have a situation, and it's a strong one at that!!!
Set yourself a more challenging goal in the real world, and try to achieve it. And relax and have fun with people, in groups, at corporate events, outings in nature, etc. Then you'll see how diverse and wonderful the real world is, how many colors are in its palette, how many different smells, how many emotions, and in general... LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!! I LOVE IT!
But playing computer games is still very interesting – it's just one of the elements of reality, and a pleasant one at that.

The only downside to life is the lack of Save/Load options.

MoonBoy: In life, you usually need to change something, especially this terrible depression that makes you tremble. Is it possible you've forgotten how to see the good in people? That's worrying. Look at your friends, siblings, relatives. Surely, besides your computer, there are other joys in the world. Buy yourself a bike, go to the movies, go to the river, spend more time outdoors, and definitely with friends. The world is deceptive, in many ways it is, but that doesn't mean there's no place for joy in it. And a computer is just a computer, even in Africa; it's just entertainment and a tool for work. Although, to some extent, I can relate to these feelings. You know, you need a girlfriend.

The only bad thing in life is that there are no Save/Load options.

I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing, as it's very rare that you REALLY want to reload. After all, everything happens for a reason, and if something does happen, it's for the best!!! ;)

The option to save and load exists in life – it’s memory, and the older you get, the more often you use this option. Essentially, experience is the periodic “retrieval” of necessary “saves” from memory, then “scanning” the desired “object,” processing it through the “retrieved saves,” and “analyzing the result.” All of this happens in the brain instantly, in fractions of a second, after which, as a rule, “playing a new map” becomes uninteresting and pointless, because it contains already experienced content and doesn’t offer new sensations.

Essentially, experience is the periodic "calling up" of necessary "saves" from memory, then "scanning" the required "object," passing it through the "called saves," and "analyzing the result." All of this happens in the brain instantaneously, in a matter of fractions of a second, after which, as a rule, "completing a new map" is uninteresting and pointless, since it contains what has already been passed and offers no novelty of sensation.

You've overcomplicated things, or you didn't understand what we're talking about?!
The point is that in life there is no such thing as reloading a couple of days back, one day, or one hero turn. And memory and experience have nothing to do with it!!!
Experience is needed to get through all of life without reloading (like in an online tournament)
