Every time I play video games I feel autistic

Luckily I broke this pattern. But there was a time I liked things like Zelda, final fantasy 4, and all those Sierra games from my youth. I may be dating myself.
Maybe lucky isn’t the word. Trading stocks pressed the mute button on some passions to look at it another way. It became hard to find diversions like sports, and games bc life is a serious game. I grew dull, but I think I’m changing bc maybe I’m putting the right lens to a mosaic of preferences and such. I’m not full of myself though I think mosaic is appropriate to a lot of us with the whole topic of memory deficiencies.
I’m trying to use more basic words too and talk like others. Still brevity isn’t so great either. I have no idea how the generation coming up is gonna succeed when they call each other “prett” and cant even spell out “comment on my recent”. (Instagram thoughts).
Thanks for that
When I say I feel autistic. I did meant I felt like a child.
It felt like I never awaked my consciousness to know who am I
It’s like an animal pet who doesnt know what they are and what they are doing
Very spooky to me
Quest for Glory was one of my favorites, great game series by Sierra.

I don’t know that one. I played space quest, hero’s quest, Kings quest, and police quest. Also have fond memories of a game called Willie Beamish and lastly MONKEY ISLAND which had great pirate music… haha

Quest for glory was unique because it had combat and RPG stats mixed in with the adventure, that’s why I liked it. The only pure adventure games I’ve beaten are some of the Sam and Max ones. I played some of the re-released king’s quest on PS4 a couple years ago, it was fun.

I’m probably a lot older, did you ever play Wolfenstein, and Doom, those were the rage when I was into these things. Granted they’re a different genre.

Yeah I played Doom and Wolfenstein on DOS before windows was out. I had ultimate doom on floppy disk, took 5 disks to install.

Halo was the last purchase I made that’s when this passion ground to a halt. But at least I never got unhealthy with it like I recall the game Everquest in China?? Your making me nostalgic…
Do you remember when “sound blaster” came out? Or the shrink “Dr Sbaitso”? Did you ever use Prodigy? I was there for that stuff too.

I loved the sound blaster cards! The software they came with was always great too, I miss them. I played Everquest for like three years 1999-2002, I graduated high school in 2002.
Really these days I’m playing Skyrim a bunch in my free time, did WoW for awhile but raiding was tough. Gaming is my main hobby.
Did you play any MMORPGs?

If by some chance you’re planning to back to games @anon64158233 I suggest Tell Tales series of point and click games. They’re no Grim Fandango, but it’s a good time. I don’t think it was on floppy, but my favorite point and click was always the Blade Runner game.

Yes I’m obsessed with video games.
[Spoilers]
In psychosis I almost picked up a heavy bed stand with intention to break through the gated window and escape the hospital by getting up on the roof… I thought I was supposed to, a mixture of my computer game experience and seeing One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
Monkey Island 2 was my favorite game. I never played an MMORPG… but for you: did you spend any time on the Fortnite game…? Just curious.
I like building games, sandbox and strategy.
I don’t play as much as I used to though.
I have moved back to PC from console now as the games are more niche than what’s available on Xbox.
If I don’t buy the newest console, that would be the first time since 1996 and I was born in 1987!
My first console was a Master System II, then PS1, N64, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Finding out who you are involves something beyond but not excluding playing games. You can find out what kind of player you are. I’m always watching for signs of a twist or betrayal at the cost of everything else.
Was that intended for me? I
I’ll say this I’m getting a kick here bc it feeds my latest nonsense regarding all things Quixotic. [He] got “poisoned” by reading too many works of fiction. But God protects babies and drunks, and also him as well, and it took a village which is society-positive, for lack of a better word. I’d love to swim around in Cervante’s head for like a couple minutes… although I guess he may have had demons, in addition.
I’m not well-read because intrusive thoughts ruin the joy of reading. Noop_12 said he felt autistic and like he didn’t get time to know who he was. But that gets addressed when one does the soul-searching thing. I often zone out thinking about my life and miss important pieces of a games story. Simply, I don’t like the feeling of being manipulated and I look for signs of that in games and in probably everything else in life. I will go out of my way to suspect the worst out of a games writers until I see evidence of transparency. Evidence of transparency would be 1. characters not behaving strangely as if to divert my attention and 2. things are developing but don’t seem “too normal.”
I’m a doesn’t-want-to-be-fooled kind of person and I think I suffer from illusion of asymetric insight, and I’m so suspicious of everything. And that’s who I am as a game player as well.

That was awesome - I think a lot of “authors” do have agendas, but it’s not as grave as your currently identifying. There are things like shout outs; Easter eggs, etc. Do you believe in subliminal product placement or something. At least that’s business there’s SOME semblance of fairness… in rambling though.
What it really makes me think of is sensory overload. I think I have it I have t seen a big movie like since like “the kings speech” or “hurt locker” but there are other reasons for that too.
Didn’t even see a motherless Brooklyn
