I like how she argues casually that a good video game is a good thing for your focus as opposed to the toxic gunk too many people get trapped into, such as big social media and evil mobile gaming. I mean it’s nothing new, but sometimes hearing a some positivity is a boon.
"Look at older games where the whole game is active gameplay and you have to be focused the whole time to win."
I can't 😂 We're talking about games where you game during the whole game as relics of an age bygone now?!
Hey, I’ll have you know my attention span is perfectl- ooh a squirrel.
Exactly! Leave my attention span alone like the lonely whales that hunt for food alone in their feeding areas. I reccomend taking a whale watching trip, just make sure you aren’t seasick but ginger candies can help stave that off. By the way you can grow ginger yourself, just dry it for a few days and plant it 2 inches deep and keep it moist. Not tiramisu but sponge cake moist but I prefer tiramisu if it is well made. The cake should be cold and fresh like spring water on a hot day
This is beautiful.

It really is. I often find myself avoiding long games with intermittent text or dialog (RPGs!) because I get bored when there’s none and want to listen to a podcast but can’t because then I’ll miss the next dialog.
There’s also the “I’ve got something to do so I can’t deal with starting up a game” and then spending an hour on youtube

I’ve got a problem with having to watch YouTube or listen to a podcast while playing. And that includes RPGs… Though Expedition 33 has had me engrossed enough to shut the laptop while I’m playing
