I play video games autistically
(any game is immediately dissected for optimizations and playing “well”, which usually strips the fun of many types of games that want you to go at a slower pace)

@gwenthefops this is probably why i developed rsi (repetitive strain injury)
i just feel the need to speedrun/overachieve everything as efficiently/best as possible for some reason
@kemona_halftau yeah, understandable…….. I am trying to get better at that but it’s tough
my family did ingrain the “must be productive in your free time” mentality real deep
One of the reasons this is so annoying is that… I have a real hard time with PvP games with friends. I usually tend to crush them, be crushed (because they’re showing me a new game that they have many tens of hours in) or it is BS RNG stuff and I get frustrated
Or the friend plays games equally autistically, and we’re discovering a game together
@gwenthefops I'd love to play Mindustry with you one day ^^
@noisytoot @seabass never heard of this game … But sure why not
@gwenthefops usually i solve that by going "can i solve this with those specific constraints" and usually that brings back the fun because i have no idea how optimised it can be and i don't think so much about it any more. doesn't work in all games though, not all support varried playstyles, but usually i tend to gravitate more around games that do
