This was the most special concert experience of my life. I consider the Nier soundtracks to be my all-time favorite collection of music, and being able to see them performed live was an almost impossible wish. But last night that wish came true. #nier #nierautomata #nierconcert (at Microsoft Theater) https://www.instagram.com/p/B79BnwXFdj_V9swQodJFS1T65955DCIlvnRQdA0/?igshid=zppgl0ehsrw7

Honestly? Mass Effect Andromeda had the most creative and fun fighting mechanics I’ve seen from a game in a long while only for it to be overlooked by some shoddy graphics, and I will be forever bitter that it didn’t get the praise it deserves.

I agree. It had the best shooting combat I’ve ever played, especially if you took the time to craft/modify some fun weapons.

Cyber-psychologist Berni Goode talking about Flow on Charlie Brooker’s How Videogames Changed the World.

Flow is extremely important. So, so important.

It’s what keeps some people sane. It’s what drives the world’s most skilled and accomplished athletes, the most intense gamers, the hardcore hobbyists, even many of the most talented artists, musicians and actors - flow is what you get when unstoppable drive meets an unflinching will and unlimited dedication.

Flow is being utterly, truly “in the zone”. And it’s one of the most amazing feelings there is.

This is why finding a sport, or a hobby, or a martial art, or a handicraft, or a new video game, or any skill-based activity that uses focus and requires practice and repetition is so beneficial for things like depression and anxiety and overall mental/physical well-being.

This quote “flow is what you get when unstoppable drive meets an unflinching will and unlimited dedication” makes it sound like you have to be some kind of super motivated and dedicated person to achieve this mental state, but, yeah no, we’re all capable of it. And why chilling out to rock some video games or do whatever you need to for that kind of mental relaxation is NOT a waste of your time.
