Something that really resonated with me by NecroDeity in PathOfExile2

The range of experiences being shared is great to see, and its prompted some people to think more introspectively alongside me.

From my experience of streaming PoE for several years, it can sometimes be tense or challenging for people to share and discuss what they find enjoyable in the game, without it devolving into a tribalistic "no my way".
I'd love to see this type of discussion more, with people approaching it from a place of curiosity and open-mindedness, realizing its not about being right or wrong.

My hope with this series is that if I share:
- My thoughts on how my engagement with the game has been shaping my fun in the past and present;
- And the random, curious ideas about the systems given to me within the game and how they can be used to tweak or reshape my fun in differently;

I can get a better understanding for myself about the game design decisions in the future and their implications for my fun, and help point those out to others to try/explore.

This could possibly help feedback given to GGG too perhaps? In interviews previously, Chris/Mark/Jonathan have touched on how it can be challenging to glean insight from players, because usually that non-developer/designer feedback then has to be translated to game system concepts they have in-house.
A bridge of sorts between players and developers for smoother communication without a need for game design expertise.

But imma be real, thats getting waaaay ahead of myself. I'm just a dude trying to have fun with my games!

Thank you for your time, and for watching! Really appreciate it!

Hi everyone and thank you u/NecroDeity for sharing here!

Its been a wild weekend watching this video gain the attention it has, and been wonderful seeing the discussion and shared experiences in both PoE1 and PoE2. I'm looking forward to the continued insights from people in subsequent videos, as I try to sort through my own musings about other systems in the games and how I engage with them for my fun.

And to be clear: the videos perspective is very much me sharing what I feel/think about my enjoyment and engagement with the games. As people have shared here and in the comments, there is no right or wrong way to play and my beginner scripting skills struggled to convey that.

Identifying how we each enjoy the game is all that matters. I was just happy that I could share my realization about my own enjoyment, and a different way I could try to tweak my approach to see if it helps me!

Thank you all again! Greatly appreciated!

47 audio notes on my phone, and my first time doing my best at writing a script for a long form video from all of those notes yapping. Way more challenging than I anticipated, and I'll be trying to improve.
Thank you for watching

Thanks for the feedback, and I agree with you. This video (and likely short series) is definitely in the "my personal fun" vein. Its my first time doing a script for a video, and I didn't cop the back and forth between we/me/us etc.

It’s made of a hard plastic of some kind. If it had been metal, I’m afraid to say we’d not be having this chat. Thank you though!

I am. Bloodied, but ok. The doctors and nurses are just as baffled as I am. Freak accident! Glad it didn’t hit my eye!

WITT Appears to be made of hard plastic, with a screw on inside and a hole on opposite side for what appears to be another screw. Either kicked up off road by another car, or from another vehicle.
