  • Try changing your dynamic. The human brain thrives on novelty.

    Play genres you normally wouldn’t – e.g: Hate horror games? Good - try out Silent Hill or some classics you skipped over.

    Get a VR headset, go from 2D screen to proper full body 3D - fly a plane over the Andes, feel like you’re actually flying. Pilot a huge mech. Build a colony on Mars with your own two hands.

    Burnout happens and it’s worth examining other areas in your life, but gaming’s always been the wondrous thing it always has.




  • There’s a shocking number of people who walk this Earth without a functional world model or empathy, and don’t feel things until they occur to them personally.

    It’s almost akin to a sort of brain damage or disorder, I’m not qualified enough to be able to explain what occurs in the brain structurally for this to happen; only that when they’re grimacing for getting convicted after they’ve murdered 40 people (or millions, if it’s an oil exec, for example) and wondering why that’s happening, you carefully and patiently explain to them that’s only part of what they’ve inflicted upon others and society writ large.

    It doesn’t create a “just” or even sane society philosophically speaking, and the legislative process has been almost completely subverted by that segment of the population as you’d pointed out, specifically to be dysfunctional.

    Maybe we ought to install more mirrors in the legislative branches






  • I’m in the Top 10% of players in my league, but I’ll never be in the Top 1%.

    Why? Because everyone there is either cheating or on something.

    Caffeine is legal and not banned by most sporting jurisdictions, so if that’s the only thing you can take to enhance performance – you take it.

    With a caffeine addiction, I can skirt Top 6% and lie to myself that I deserve that position.
