I’m talking more along the lines of, having simulator games where you work in a supermarket and you get to cause as much mayhem as possible. Not in terms of just simply killing, but more like, being a very disgruntled worker in a very annoyingly noisy environment with shitty customers. That game doesn’t exist to me and I wish it would.
Instead, we get more simulator games where you’re at the service of the people. That’s going backwards, if you ask me.
Also, I don’t remember asking for armchair psychologists to come here and start dropping unasked thoughts about how to best relieve stress. Check those at the door.
I’m not saying violent video games make you violent. I’m saying if you use those things, and it’s not just video games - punching a pillow, for example - as a way to deal with stress, then that’s going to become a habitual response to stressful situations.
I’m not sure I can agree with that. There are many people that would start shouting at people they love, breaking things etc. Having them put on some boxing gloves and get a good workout on a boxing bag is definitely healthier. Getting to the root of the problem and treating that is obviously the better way, but not everyone can do that.
That said, a video game seems a bit pointless for venting.
So now you’re just assuming everyone is a psychopath. Great. Wonderful.
Look, the best way to circumvent in handling stress is if there is people to help others differentiate reality and fantasy, teach them what right or wrong is. It all falls apart when someone does not get any of those things and they take their undisciplined and wild way of handling issues in wrong manners.
Normal people can tell a difference that ripping paper - it’s OKAY. Ripping people - NOT OKAY. Ripping virtual people that won’t criminalize you - it’s OKAY. Murdering actual people in real time - NOT OKAY.
You’re just not fun, dude. If you keep denying people outlets of their stress and basically just telling them to take it up the ass dry and do things that actually wouldn’t lower their stress levels, then you’re fueling the problem in ways you’re not fully understanding.
The fucking Yoga-like way in handling stress isn’t the answer to everything either.
You sound like a major asshole in a bad way, dude. You’re purposely missing the point and coming back at people aggressively when it’s absolutely not warranted. It sounds like you need more than just a game to help you get by

I think yall are projecting your own issues on to someone who wants to talk about games.
Bro, your lack of reading comprehension is astounding.
you’re aggressively missing the point
