RE: DiGinnasio: What do you think of video games?/Cosa ne pensi dei videogiochi? (ENG/ITA)

in Italy4 days ago

If you ask me: there is only one computer game that has a raison d'être for me (but we'll get to that later ;-))

When I was younger, the games that were slowly coming into fashion were called: Pacman and Wormi. There was something with pipelines through which liquid flowed. Stuff I had zero interest in. A bit later, I watched Sonic. You know, the hedgehog. Not for me. Super Mario - what a load of rubbish. And with that I was out. Today's video games are much more complex and realistic, but they're just games on a screen. I can't do anything with this kind of action (it's not interaction). But I don't watch TV either, so maybe there's a similar argument to be made...

What I find cool and still play occasionally (and play well ;-)) - TETRIS. And I'm convinced that this training helps me to load my car in an extremely space-saving way ;-))

Sort:  

I never played Sonic and didn’t care much about it. Super Mario... I have to agree with you! 😄

Maybe modern video games focus on less interaction. Sometimes you just want to have fun without feeling pressured to engage with others.

Tetris stood the test of time, and you even found it handy somehow😄 You know what stood the test of time for me? At least in my case, it’s 4 Pics 1 Word. I guess it’s the way it forces me to think outside the box. I wish we had a game like this here...

Hehe - we have Scrabble and Wordle and we've also had chess... So if you have an idea of how we can realise such a round here, feel free to open a contest ;-)) I am happy to sponsor the prizes....

Wait a second, we have Scrabble here? And chess? How was that possible...

Oh... thank you, Heike. I might take you up on that, but there’s just one problem—I won’t be able to play it myself. I want to play too, you know! 🥲

I see the problem... ;-)) We will think about.

You found Wordle last time in Deutsch Unplugged. There is the place where Chriddi invented first online version of Scrabble. I don't now when the next edition will start, but... Soon ;-))

Chess - there was a special Community for and a few engaged chess player. I will try to find out more...

Right? You get all the fun while I miss out... Sorry, I know I’m being a bit childish on this😅 well...you know. I'll be happy to do it but let's brainstorm for the meantime...

I did come across a post from someone I'm not sure if it was chriddi... It was like a crossword puzzle or something but I don't know if it pushed through 'cause he was like asking everyone's opinion if they want a game like that...

I'm not that good at chess but it would've been fun if played here...
