The story goes that I've been gaming since before I could speak ~ it was initially something I enjoyed with my father years ago ~ so, in a sense, I began to game because he would game ~ and in the years since, I never ceased enjoying it ~ whether it was to escape to some far away world, or to compete against other players, and to compete against myself. It brings me satisfaction.

I game because it's fun. And it helps escape reality

Majority of the time I do play games to relax. It's a means for me to consume stories, adventure, and get inspiration from. It's a way for me to hangout with friends in a consistent basis as they live a bit far away from me. And lastly, it's fun.

So there is maybe 3 parts to this. My mom who died finished streets of rage 2 when I was around 6. When she passed when I was 8 gaming was one of the only things I could enjoy. As I played I started to enjoy convoluted plots and by 18 I was the guy who was trying to find collectibles in games that explain the lore better. After I turn 18 I got around to playing the gears series and between that and some other games I ended up joining the military due to finding out some of the friends who I use to play with were unqualified. Think in retrospect there are certain games that just help me relax. I enjoy the occasional shooter but I enjoy it's, and survival games.

Before it was to experience new worlds outside of the sub-suburbs of Pittsburgh, now the only thing I do is daily grind in Fallout 76 and whatever niche thing my brother is into today either being Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel or other gatcha games. Used to be a shooter game addict but I can't keep up with the newest systems as well. ๐

I mean good stories I felt engaged in. Lost in genuine fun mechanics. Times of playing with friends side by side for those core memories. Maybe not a lot of easy options outside of that. Games are pretty amazing for a lot of reasons (at least for me). Right now it's super hot at the beach and working overnights so you tend to feel a little disconnected from the world but having a game to give some time too when you get back home is just nice to keep from the void of just existing. Just thoughts.

Stories are the main thing. I obsess over them, seeing new worlds, understanding lore behind it all, meeting characters, it's all just beautiful to me. That, and customer characterization or loot. Because with ADHD the shiny things are extra fun

All addictions are based on the person being uncomfortable in their current situation. Gaming included. But it does not solve the problem. Only makes it more difficult to solve. Try gym instead.

Safe zone and get away from stress. Talked with a friend about the likeness with my gaming and his meditation and we found we had similar experiences. (edited)

I love games because its challenging, i like to compete but in a good day. Destroy others, and still be humble to ask for a rematch. ๐

I play games because it is the only think that make me feel comfortable and "relaxed" from everything and everybody, and also it can make me stay away from this reality and do whatever I want in the virtual world.

To connect with other people

I game because it not only gives me comfort, but because it allows me to see and experience things that you can mostly never do in reality.

I game because it was one of the activities me and my dad enjoyed. He was the one that introduced me to videogames. And when he was still alive he would usually watch me and brothers play videogames. Aside from that, me and my brothers actually bond over videogames, we would have different things we enjoy but when it comes to games we were all united. I remember when we were young and still together, we would have a meeting on what game we would save up and buy, and after we bought it we would set up a gaming schedule so that everyone can play. Gaming for me is more than just an activity or a past time. It is a connection I have with my family and friends. Even though I am currently living far away from all of them, when we all have time we would log in and play and converse and just have fun and connect.

It's something I know I can enjoy on my free time and keeps me entertained

I helps me cultivate my creativity, live my fantasies, and unleash my aggression. My favorite genre are survival, RPGs, and FPS. I love creating and designing efficient bases. When I look at how efficient everything runs it makes me happy. Like looking at my clean house after cleaning for hours. I love RPGs. I like coming up with fun characters and interesting play styles. The combos and passives working together to create a massive BOOM ๐ฅ or an unstoppable tank. Also for the adventure and story. I could spend hours exploring new areas. Its so satisfying to me to fight another opponent of equal skill or dominating them. (edited)
