Once you realise that a game’s worth is not in its perfection, but in your own enjoyment level, then you’re going to have a lot more fun playing video games
Ok, this goes into some research I read on the different types of gamers.
They are:
Killers- Think your competitive types, they’re going to be playing games like Modern Warfare, Halo, and other competitive games. They get enjoyment by winning over their opponent.
Achievers- Going for the 100% route, trying to get the high score, etc. Think any game with increasing difficulty and esoteric achievements. They play games to try to achieve perfection within the game.
Explorers- They just want to explore the game- think more storytelling or immersive experiences, etc. They enjoy gaming because it allows them to escape and engage in a world and really take it all in.
Socializers- Found more in MMOs, where there can be real community building, they play games to meet and work with other people.
Killers and Achievers tend to be a lot holier than thou, but they’re all valid, so long as you’re having fun in your own way.
This is by far the best addition to this post, thank you for the analysis! I honestly didnt know about these different types, it’s really interesting!

Loading a save on an old RPG is like waking up drunk. You don’t remember what happened, where you are, or what you’re doing.
but at least you have a cool sword from somewhere
Don’t pay me for the job, you don’t get to play pool.
I’m a pool table installer. I get lots of request to install. I run ads on craigslist often and pick up some business from there. A man calls me up wants his table installed the next morning, but he wants me done by 8 a.m. It means I have to get to his house by 6 a.m. I don’t normally start work before 8, but okay. It’s going to be fairly easy install.
I arrive at his home. He takes me down to his basement. Floor is really uneven. It takes quite a bit of effort to level it. The man rolls balls on the table to test it. He actually takes twice as long to okay the table as most customers do. I don’t fault him. You want a pool table installed and you want to make sure its right before paying some stranger. I tell him how to perform the test. He does them. Does them three more times. Nods and writes me a check.
Yesterday at work these two 12yo boys came through my line and i’m instantly like. oh Boy. Because solo children at a grocery store are always forces of chaos, good or bad
But thankfully these ones were totally pleasant, and when i asked if they wanted a receipt one of them pulled out a random fuckin receipt from his bag and asked “Do YOU???” and y’all, i lost my shit… What a power move. When will i ever be this funny
