I’d be a successful xenobiologist.
I’d just be living in a small town, digging through trash cans, giving fish to the local homeless man, giving beer to the alcoholic and mostly just planting an ungodly amount of fruit trees on my land.
I’m either building a factory in space or an organ harvesting drug empire in space.
Seems like you really like…
If that’s true, then we be building factories, polluting the environment, and killing protestor.
Ohh wait
Sir this is Wendy’s
“Video games don’t affect our behavior! If Pac-Man had an effect on us, we’d all be running around darkened rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music” - Raver’s favorite shirt
I always liked that one…*old ex raver, still love the music for sure. Actual shirt I owned was ‘I said no to drugs but they didn’t listen’
Edit, I always thought raves was my generation’s summer of love. Diluted but I think the idea for many were the same…of course not for all, but it’s how I felt it sometimes. The best people to be around were always so positive, and I so wished the millennium ushered in more positivity than how it happened. But … yeah we all know what happened early 2000s.
id be shooting aliens and not afraid of anything
I hear ICE is hiring.
I remember in 1993 my dad tried saying that video games make kids violent.
For anyone too young to pick up on the obvious situation here, 1993 was the year the media started looking at games like Mortal Kombat, and saying video games are violence simulators. In those days, news was different. Today there’s heavy bias in reporting. Watching the same story from 2 different reporting sources will often paint a vastly different picture. In those days however it wasn’t nearly the issue it is today. Fox News didn’t exist yet I don’t think. And even when it first started, it wasn’t what it would later become.
The news was just the news. And the news was saying video games make kids violent. My dad was doing the modern day equivilant of parroting fox news talking heads points. No opinion of his own. Just parroting the news.
So when he said that video games make kids violent, I said “Dad, I have 3 games. Sonic 2, Madden 93, and Jurassic Park. By your logic, I should be a star athlete who can play in the NFL, who runs so fast that I become a blur , and is also a velociraptor. Teenagers in the early 80s would be great at tennis, crossing the road quickly, and know how to shoot down UFOs.”
He had no rebuttal, because nobody on the news made those arguements.
Fox news might only go back to 96 but it was almost always politically motivated, I will accept that it may be deteriorating though
I’d be just at bad at poker as I am now, I think
I would be farming and building shit to automate my life as much as possible.
every shit-tier chore ever conceived, and every task on every ‘honey do’ list ever made, would be completed. every day. on schedule. and without fail.
Rename “chores” to “dailies” and you would get immediate results.
A cottage industry of recovering neighbors who have fallen asleep on their way home and returning them to their beds in exchange for a ‘finders’ fee might develop.
And anytime a wall looked a little weird I’d be trying to smash through it.
We would all be like Pacman chasing ghosts and popping pills… Wait…
I am an Italian man who eats mushrooms and stomps turtles
im an actual Italian man who eats mushrooms, but i dont dont stomp on turtles, and i haven’t found my princess peach yet.
Well, one out of three is … pretty unremarkable, actually
How many princesses have you tried to rescue only for them to be on another castle
Nah man he’s banned from all Disney theme parks now
“I KNOW YOU HAVE HER, YOU ASSHOLES!”
This is why representation in games is so important
Ya know…I don’t remember any super mario bros games where Mario is black.
I’ve always heard it as „we‘d be running around in dark rooms with brightly colored lights, eating pills and listening to electronic music“
Do it slaughter millions of humans in games across different genres? Yes, I do and it’s great fun!
Do I have any intention to kill even one human in real life? Hell no, I don’t even want to hurt others!
Wait until you get older and see how the world runs, you’ll get lots of reasons of wanting to hurt others!
Ah yes but video games are unrelated.
Probably put military in our cities, rename Department of Defence to Department of War… Make preparations to invade Venezuela or something…
GOoD ThiNg viDYa gAmeS don’T AFfeCt the ReAL WorlD!If games determined my behavior I would be obsessed with Trains, oh wait I am obsessed with Trains :3
