Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

They also improve creativity and imagination

Is there a source for this?

[–]jewishest 0 points1 point ago

Huh. I never really thought about some of this stuff.
I have heard about the improved hand-eye coordination, but not about multitasking or faster decision making.
I wonder if this is true or not.

[–]posananer[S] 0 points1 point ago

You wonder how they improve creativity and imagination?

I guess you have never been inspierd by a game. That means you have a very limited imagination. And for that i feel sorry for you. I know plenty of people who have been inspierd by video games. The music thats in the game can inspire you to create music. The story line can give you insperation to imagin your own charicters to write about. The list goes on and on.

You can't just state that they 'improve creativity and imagination' then. Artists are inspired by the most mundane objects, but it would be foolish to make a blanket statement such as "parrots improve creativity and imagination".

And second

I guess you have never been inspierd by a game. That means you have a very limited imagination. And for that i feel sorry for you.

elshizzo was asking for a source. I know people get defensive about there own creations, but there's no need to say that.

[–]krosber04 -1 points0 points ago
