I like how she argues casually that a good video game is a good thing for your focus as opposed to the toxic gunk too many people get trapped into, such as big social media and evil mobile gaming. I mean it’s nothing new, but sometimes hearing some positivity is a boon.

It really is. I often find myself avoiding long games with intermittent text or dialog (RPGs!) because I get bored when there’s none and want to listen to a podcast but can’t because then I’ll miss the next dialog.
There’s also the “I’ve got something to do so I can’t deal with starting up a game” and then spending an hour on youtube

I’ve got a problem with having to watch YouTube or listen to a podcast while playing. And that includes RPGs… Though Expedition 33 has had me engrossed enough to shut the laptop while I’m playing

“Look at older games where the whole game is active gameplay and you have to be focused the whole time to win.”
I can’t 😂 We’re talking about games where you game during the whole game as relics of an age bygone now?!

Hey, I’ll have you know my attention span is perfectl- ooh a squirrel.

Exactly! Leave my attention span alone like the lonely whales that hunt for food alone in their feeding areas. I reccomend taking a whale watching trip, just make sure you aren’t seasick but ginger candies can help stave that off. By the way you can grow ginger yourself, just dry it for a few days and plant it 2 inches deep and keep it moist. Not tiramisu but sponge cake moist but I prefer tiramisu if it is well made. The cake should be cold and fresh like spring water on a hot day
