If you are not social and want to be, this is actually a good way to practice conversations. The idea is to pretend to be one side of a conversation and try to mimic what a person would say in a situation. It’s more practical with planned conversations, like TV shoes because those conversations are designed to lead to something. Casual podcast conversations may have more conversation threads that may end abruptly.
I guess there are parts of it that are kinda contemplative. When you get done blasting everyone who attacked you in a spaceship you boarded, or some space facility on an alien planet…and then you’re just alone in space? That’s kinda contemplative.
I suppose you could say the same thing about the Elder Scrolls or Fallout games. Action-RPG action, punctuated by walking around fairly atmospheric scenery.
Basically, if you don’t like relatively simplistic first-person-action-roleplaying game content, then you won’t like any of Bethesda’s games. As for the people who are bitching and moaning so much, I just don’t understand their perspective. It’s like they played a game of air hockey, then they were like “WELL, I THOUGHT THE PART WHERE THE PLASTIC PUCK FLOATED ON A CUSHION OF AIR WAS REALLY STUPID, I DIDN’T LIKE IT, I WANT MY MONEY BACK.”
In that case, motherfucker, there is NO WAY you could have gone into the situation, not expecting exactly what you got. Which is why I think a lot of these people are using games as a substitute for prescription drugs to treat their crippling chemical imbalance problems.
And don’t get me wrong: entertainment can boost your mood, if you’re not as far gone as these people are. Keeping people sane is indeed one of the main reasons for entertainment existing. But if you are in a mental state where you’re legitimately experiencing anhedonia, it’s not fair to blame the game developers for that shit.
Hey, man, you KNOW Todd has no idea what Lemmy is. I mean, maybe he knows about Motörhead, but I even doubt that. He’s probably one of those guys who listens to smooth jazz, entirely unironically.
