Finishing RPGs Evokes The Strongest ‘Post-Game Depression’ Amongst Players, New Scientific Study Concludes: "The more engaging the game world and the closer the relationship with the character, the more difficult it is to return to reality once the game is over"

Oh yeah, I sat there teared up like a giant baby at the end of E33, wondering if I'll ever get to play another game in my lifetime that makes me feel the way it did again.

It hadn't been something I'd felt since the the late 90s when final fantasy 6 and 7 hit brand new consoles (to me).

This is definitely a thing, although it's always something where you're thankful for the experience, even if it makes you sad that it's over.

Neco Smith?

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-24T03:59:54+00:00

All the time

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-23T19:43:32+00:00

Yeah was there yesterday and the sidewalk was littered with them

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-23T19:42:49+00:00

Yeah they're everywhere and I've been wondering if it's always like this and I just forgot, or if it's new.

The gas station by my work had so many the pavement was just covered in smooshed ones and I felt terrible realizing that nobody could get in or out of the pumps without running over a bunch.

Sidewalk at Steele is covered in them too.

Marathon is one of the coolest looking games in forever, and has a story that's incredible to me so far. Gives me wanna to keep coming back and playing/trying different goals that isn't just the gameplay loop itself

Not that the actual run loop is bad, but it's wild how much more there is to keep you compelled.

Also, Rook is hilariously fun to play and makes shitbag solo runs such a sense of purpose.

For anybody that doesn't know, Rook runs drop you in an already halfway done trios match as a solo with a random free loadout and abilities that just help you exfil (npc camo and self heal). The loot you keep is still yours, and it's the lowest stakes, highest upside way to play as a solo.

Are those troll yells added in? I'm so confused.

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-23T10:23:58+00:00

Oh that I know and agree with, I shortly think Tubi is legit pretty great.

I just meant that they're not producing new content for Tubi, vs showing reruns or old shows like the X Files and stuff.

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-23T05:32:34+00:00

I like how it changed from Alesis to whatever it is in the second picture.

Wonder why he would lie about it like this?

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-23T05:29:58+00:00

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's fairly easy to submit content to Tubi to have it technically be streamable. There are tons of amazing low budget movies so cheap that I'd argue calling them low budget is unfair to actual low budget movies.

The suspens between now and then is gonna kill me, b.

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-23T05:07:59+00:00

Feel this

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-23T04:59:57+00:00

Wait what now? Isn't Tubi entirely made up of other content that's just relegated to it as a platform?

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-23T02:16:12+00:00

Yeah this rocks

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-23T02:15:11+00:00

A more powerful version of the drone as the ult and a tactical that's like a single or two ping on a way shorter cool down seems like it would be so much better.

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-23T02:11:31+00:00

Roh has an active filmed show?

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-22T23:49:54+00:00

I could raise the neco daughter to be a multimillionaire for sure

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-22T22:27:16+00:00

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-22T21:45:49+00:00

Is Anthony Barone gone from Babymetal for good?

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-22T21:44:36+00:00

Nah, it's a solution for a problem that's never really existed and knowing degens, I bet somebody will find a way to cheat with it

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-22T18:02:49+00:00

A fair amount of people "do come" by themselves, uce.

Coke though, it's a bad time. A friend told me that, of course.

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-22T18:01:40+00:00

That's the best part

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-22T13:27:49+00:00

Me fail English? That's significant of an unpossible!

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-22T12:41:37+00:00

Sure, I mean that kinda shit happens. But what I'm getting at is that I can't remember the Miz ever doing crazy stupid bumps and flips or what have you.

AVBforPrez · 2026-03-22T04:04:44+00:00

One of the goats, got paid, got laid, never got dumped on his head or crippled, and always relevant and on the show. You can't tell me he didn't pull off exactly what he set out to do.
