I actually do know people who do this. Its pretty crazy to me. Like I game a decent amount, then feel bad that I wasted that time. So I do a bunch of projects and get out of the house to feel better. I guess these people don’t have that need, which must be kind of nice!

Also card carrying ADHD but I believe in this quote (whoever originally said it).
Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time

There’s still a distinction between enjoying it in the particular moment versus enjoying the entire sum of all the moments, looking back.
In food testing there are different preferences for how much someone enjoys a single bite of something versus enjoying an entire serving of that same thing. So even if someone prefers a sip of Pepsi over Coca Cola, they may nevertheless prefer an entire can of Coke over Pepsi. Same with all sorts of other consumer preferences.
With online activity, there’s a lot of stuff out there that is the equivalent of digital junk food, where you may enjoy a specific moment but feel shitty about spending an entire day on those individual moments. The payoff that can come from some of the long term patience can sometimes be more satisfying than an endless stream of instant gratification.

That ia true, and i don’t really think of it as a waste. But I have guilt that I always MUST BE DOING SOMETHING

Time enjoyed is not time wasted. It’s a different matter if you play games but don’t actually feel like you’re enjoying it, though.

Games that require daily participation to make any sort of progress are a non-starter for me. I have other shit that’s far more interesting than fake anime tiddies.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It is simultaneously an obnoxious speed bump that slows down my ability to binge when I’ve got free time and a needy attention drain when I’m absorbed in something else.
Truly the worst of both worlds.

I’ve been playing Total Annihilation the last couple days. The 1997 game that you can get for $5 on GOG. I had it as a kid and played all the time.
My son has been wanting to play it with me, so I gave him a quick rundown on “skirmish” mode earlier tonight. He caught on pretty quick. It can get brutal though. Hopefully I can get the network muliplayer working so we can play together.
Worth every penny.
JasSmith@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
I know I can easily get hooked on those so I just avoid them. Games should work around my life, not the other way around. That’s why I’m heavily into single player games now. I can hit pause whenever I like.

Someone should shop in the new horse girl gacha game into this greentext.

Wake up
Play Roguetrader
Get bored after 4 hours
Read Ciaphus Cain fanfics
Forget to eat
Jackoff
Pass out
Wakeup and eat expired MRE
Play Hoi4
Go to sleep
This was annoying to write on my phone.

And we wonder why Jordan Peterson telling someone like this to make their bed blows their whole mind.

Jordan Petersen is a trash heap and making a bad faith argument.

Yeah, he’s shit but if you’re impressionable and self-centred, you can get sucked in by his bit.
Like I remember watching a couple clips and thinking sounds like he’s just saying common sense reasonable stuff with a side of pop philosophy – I don’t get what people are mad about but I have a good relationship with my parents and was raised to respect myself and others, so he had no to Morty’s Mind Blowers for me. I just moved on.
Later of course, thanks to others writing about it, I discovered that he has said some legitimately heinous things, and despite being so pathetic is actually an incredibly dangerous individual, meme-wise.

Dude needs to stop playing predatory gacha games.
I don’t understand people who WILLINGLY install that shit. They KNOW how they work and are monetized. And unlike gambling at a casino, there’s zero chance of you being up money at any point.
Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I think of them as “Gotcha!” games, cause their point is to trick you.
ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I think that’s where the term gacha comes from. A japanization of the term gotcha.

That feels an awful lot like saying opiates are fine just don’t get addicted. It’s easy to say when you aren’t susceptible, but clearly some people are and it’s not very productive to be dismissive of the primary way they make money.
papalonian@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Because your top level comment makes sense while the rest of your replies devolved into a caps-locked crash out. Now I’m more convinced you’re 14.
slaacaa@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Exactly. I have been gaming for decades, yet I never played any of these. Only heard of WOW out of all the names, no idea what the rest are.
It is possible to spend your money on games that provide the entertainment you’re looking for, but not exploit you.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The ads are everywhere and the games are often F2P - no barrier to download or install. Excellent for hooking younger kids, especially ones whose parents can’t or won’t give them access to the old fashioned games.
Arguably the singular upside. You can coast in a Gacha game without losing a ton of money a lot longer than you’ll last in Vegas.
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
Gacha?
reev@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
All (or most, don’t recognize some) of these are gacha games. You get characters by participating in essentially a slot machine (hence the name “pulling”), more or less. The more powerful characters have lower odds. You can do dailies for pulls or you can spend money to pull more often.

I was going to say YEAH! but then remembered I was addicted to World of Warcraft from 2006 to 2017 and then
relapsedstarted playing again in 2019 after WoW classic came out and every now and then something wriggles in my brain to say you should sign up again, it’ll be funJesus_666@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I played Arknights for a bit because there’s actually a pretty solid tower defense game in there. There’s not a big selection of good games for Android and I wanted something I could play when I have no laptop with me.
Unfortunately the good gameplay is buried under tons of attention hogging gacha bullshit.
I stopped playing once I realized that I was spending more time doing chores than actually playing through interesting content. Also, while the BGM is nothing short of lavish, the presentation of the story is like a very cheap VN, which basically killed any hope of getting engaged in the story or the characters.
I didn’t spend much more than maybe twenty bucks on it so it’s not too bad given the partially solid gameplay. But yeah, I’m done with live service bullshit games.
