As a lifelong gamer and and an almost lifelong enjoyer of the despair of watching humanity defile our one and only home… duh.
Video games are weapons grade copium for smart people.
It’s not just about dopamine/cope either. Knowing that people saw the state of the world they lived in, and came together to make good art anyway, is good for the soul. It reminds us that there is still good in the world worth fighting for.
It’s easy to forget that when algorithms show us the worst and stupidest of humanity every day for peak engagement.
Using this from now on.
I agree it’s really obvious to anyone who plays games, but it’s always nice to be backed up with proper research.
