Did you ever buy a game and resell it before ever playing it?
StaceyPowers replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
I think people pick up things when they're on major discounts "just in case" sometimes, only to never really decide to play them. -
Video game you can't get your mind off at the moment?
StaceyPowers replied to Justin11's topic in Gaming Forum
If you're looking for a decent review, I recommend Shagger's review here: -
Video game you can't get your mind off at the moment?
StaceyPowers replied to Justin11's topic in Gaming Forum
I'm not sure what @Justin11 is referencing. I haven't written any game reviews. But I do sing the praises of TLOU and its sequel pretty often, so perhaps that is it 🙂 -
I often see players complaining that video games seem to be attempting to guilt trip them. There are some cases where I can see this argument—particularly if it is in the context of a game with a complete blank slate character and a very high degree of player agency. But in games with restricted player agency and/or set, developed characters, it seems a bit odd to me. The narrative may suggest the character should feel remorse for an action, but since it was not the player’s choice (even if the player played through the action), I don’t see how that is guilt tripping the player.

Are there any characters in video games that are wildly popular, but which you just don’t like at all?

What are your feelings about NFTs and gaming? I wish I could say I have any, but to be honest, I am still trying to comprehend the concept of NFTs in the first place.

What defunct video game developer do you wish had never closed down?

How common are problem gaming behaviors? This study suggests they affect as much as 10% of gamers, which seems surprisingly high to me: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/05/200513143803.htm

What games launched well, but are now not as popular? what caused their decline?

There are usually multiple ways to pause a game. Do you prefer those pause menus to have silence, or the ambient noise of the game? I vastly prefer the latter, because it keeps me in the same headspace while I am up doing whatever, which helps maintain immersion.

Question for people with dedicated gaming laptops
StaceyPowers replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
That makes sense! Sorry, sometimes I get a bit overzealous with nuance. Thanks for merging them. Also, I will let you know later the specs 🙂 Thank you for the advice about the cooling lapboard too! -
Do you feel a stronger sense of personal agency or a more internal locus of control because of gaming? I do, because playing open world games taught me how to ask questions and take initiative to get things rolling in my life.

Question for people with dedicated gaming laptops
StaceyPowers replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
A friend gave me a gaming laptop quite randomly. I am most comfortable gaming on console, but I want to make the most of the laptop. So, I wondered if anyone here has any recommendations for PC-only games I might like? I mostly enjoy story-driven shooters and open world games heavy on exploration. I’m also looking for cool co-op games on PC. -
