^^There's that, too.

I too think it's an adrenalin rush...some kind of dopamine hit.

 

[jack]

when you acheive something you've chased for a long time there is lots of dopamine

Plus, it can deal with some extremely challenging adult themes. Just one mod, for example: "The Depths Of Depravity", which deals with topics like domestic violence, human trafficking, government corruption, blackmail... that one's pretty pitch-black dark. Then the next one in series from the same author has you helping an Al Swearingen -like character establish a saloon/whorehouse, in the course of which you end up dealing with a drug-and-sex-fueled cult whose leader is an hilarious charlatan.

that sounds exhausting

How is depravity addressed though? As a social good? Evil?

Facebook is MAGA

 

[Lily]

Facebook is also retarded.

 

[jack]

@Weeg very interesting

 

[Lily]

I remember CW saying that...she was right.

Without narrative moralizing. The author puts the story in front of you, you play through it, and you decide how you feel. And how you feel is explorable through the roleplay choices offered to you.

 

[Lily]

Well, then it can actually support anti-social behavior @Edgar Friendly. Not good.

 

[Edgar Friendly]

It can; but the transgressions it presents are so overwhelmingly awful that only an awful person would choose to take that path.

 

[jack]

so it's snowing a half inch an hour and the wind gusts are 45 to 60 mph

 

[Lily]

Well, not to go off onto a whole other tangent, I see a lot of hostility from males especially that spend their time in the gaming and social media world.

 

[Edgar Friendly]

The base game is like that, too; there's a faction in it called Caesar's Legion -- Roman cosplaying slavers, disgustingly misogynistic, and it is always my very fondest pleasure to slaughter the lot of them after I've broken up their alliances with the game's other factions.

 

[Lily]

A lot of woman hating.

Why the fu k are adults playing games so much

Beats being bullied by fowl, faggit

 

[Lily]

And from what I hear, female gamers get a lot of shit.

 

[Edgar Friendly]

An example of the Legion's villainy: If you go to their war camp atop Fortification Hill just on the eastern side of the Colorado, you may encounter a young girl, who has been enslaved, who had concealed her teddy bear from her captors. I always get it back for her from the man who took it away from her. After giving it back to her, I always make sure the man who took it is the first one I kill.

 

[Lily]

Why @Edgar Friendly you're quite the hero.

 

[Edgar Friendly]

I don't like to see anybody bully a child. Even if the child does happen to be fictional.

 

[Edgar Friendly]

I always take Boone and Russell when I cleanse that camp. Boone because his wife and unborn child were sold to the Legion; he couldn't rescue her. So he put her down to prevent her spending the rest of her life as a Legion slave. Russell because he had been a Legion slave as a kid and deserved payback on them.

 

[Edgar Friendly]

Compared to that kind of story content, most games are just kinda... goofy. lol

 

[Lily]

Why teaching is a shitty job now. Yikes!

 

[Edgar Friendly]

And now we know where Samuel L Jacksons come from.

 

[Edgar Friendly]

I always wondered; thought maybe there was a factory somewhere.

 

[Lily]

I bet Samuel L Jackson's momma whooped his ass at 5 years old if he did that.
