Avoid video games that use extrinsic motivation. A video game should at least mostly rely on intrinsic motivation, meaning that the playing of the game itself is the fun part, not the reward you get for playing the game. If you don’t enjoy the gameplay, but you want to earn lootboxes, you’ve fallen into the intentionally exploitative system operating within so many games nowadays, and you need to find another game, because you’re not having fun.

It doesn’t sound serious, but this kind of thing can make depression way worse if you’ve already got depression.

This post got me to stop playing Overwatch and I’m eternally grateful.

That’s also a core difference between a game trying to exploit the human brain’s tendency toward gambling addiction and a game that exists to entertain.

Like, it may sound like I’m reaching, but op described (pretty closely) the operation of gambling addictions. It’s also why the depression aspect is so real. You’re feeling a withdrawal, of a sort, when you can’t play the game.

Seriously, keep an eye out for this stuff!

I read an Anglo-Norman lai of Celtic origin about a werewolf when I was at university.

The King invites him into his court… then into his bed… then kisses him ‘’over 100 times’’. And that’s literally the end of the story.

People have wanted to fuck werewolves for longer than we ever realized

We live in a world that all but refuses to pay women for engaging in the arts because misogyny. So they either find one creative outlet, or find a way to monetize their art, and yalls internalized misogyny really Jumps Out

This is one of my very favorite scenes in Trek history; it was like the writers making a call out post on themselves.

i love how much the internet has latched onto the goose from the goose game. like it’s just a goose and it’s a goose that you control, so it has no set personality, but the entire internet looked at this 

and said “ah. a bastard” and adopted it.
