In life I feel like I have no control, so when I’m gaming I prefer to play on easy and feel over powered.
In real life, when I blow bubbles at my enemies they just laugh at me
In videogames I commit atrocities and in real life I don’t. Weird.
In games I kill people, in real life I just imagine killing them while nodding, smiling and saying “Yeah I can do that no problem”
Real life: use GPS to find the correct directions immediately.
Video games: deliberately go down every wrong direction in case there’s loot.
I was playing Forza Horizon 5 the other day when I realized I was doing two things I’d never do in real life:
1) Buying a Ford GT.
2) Taking it off roading.
Yeah, in games I strategically plan out my build and put in the work to be as successful as possible.
In real life I reward myself for forcing myself to take a shower. Shits unfair man. LoL!
My life is pretty easy, and I tend to be liked and respected.
I play games with high difficulty curves, and ones that let me make my character an asshole, if not an outright villain.
i don’t see myself fishing IRL
but i love it as a minigame in videogames
in WoW, I run around with a giant sword, slaughtering people simply because some rando in town told me to, and then robbing their bloody carcasses.
I rarely do that in real life. Weird how videogames are different.
I’m what most would call a ‘little guy’. Not short, but I’m skinny, definitely not strong, but agile. In video games I prefer the more tanky style. I want to be able to take hits, and be able to punch back.
In games, I talk to everybody, and exhaust all dialogue options. IRL, I avoid social interactions as if my life depended on it.
I always go with an intelligence build but I go through my real life just hoping nobody finds out I’m actually a dumbass.
I tend to steal stuff and money in games. Guess there’s not many chests lying around in real life
In games I optimize the fuck out of the everything and talk to every possible NPC. I do not live life that way at all lol
In video games I prefer precision guns like revolvers or long rifles. In real life I have never fired a gun once ever.
In video games I’m cool…
🙁
Irl, I take the shortest route to my destination.
I game, I go through every nook and cranny looking for items/collectibles.
In real life I kill people. In video games I prefer non violence
In life I’m a minimalist in games I’m a hoarder
In video games I talk to everyone I can, agree to help them with anything they want, exhaust all dialogue, and take every opportunity to detour and explore.
In real life i take the shortest path between each main objective and talk to as few people as I can.
In games, I go out if my way to calculate the most efficient way to navigate the economy and maximize my profits, only spending on necessary items. irl I have a crappy job and buy dumb shit like beer and McDonald’s cuz “I deserve it”
i always play as a girl, in real life im a dude
Opposite for me. In games, I just want a motorcycle because they’re way more maneuverable. IRL? Fuck no to donor-cycles.
In video games I automate as much as possible, saving every possible resource and squeezing every last 0.000001% efficiently from the system.
At work I got yelled at for trying to create an excel template to automate boring tasks. Fuck you Jim. Then I remembered I am paid by the hour. The factory must grow. On company time
Sure do.
In video games I always do the noble, good guy thing. Meanwhile in real life, I just kill *everyone.*
It seems we are more inclined to try stuff thats risky in video games than in real life…..strange
In games I grind levels for fun and like overpowering through the story. In real life im always under prepared and go into situations hoping for the best…
In video games I’m happy, in real life I’m not.
In video games I talk to anyone about anything. IRL I have to get stabbed to ask some stranger for help.
In video games I am a master at making money and becoming wealthy, often passively and without any effort.
In real life I……ah……*pats pockets*
Im really pragmatic irl and dont give a fuck about looks and clothes etc. Wearing an old black hoodie and jeans with a short hair because its easier to maintain.
In games though, fashion is my passion! Got some new cool outfit? Fuck yeah! Ive spent an ungodly amount of gold (ingame currency) for new cool looking armor in ESO for example.
In real life I schedule and calculate what and how i will do them.
In video games I’m 100% inpulse.
In real life I’m really honest (my aspergers side), in games I always try to cheat or use cheats/mods in order to cheat!!!
I spend hours or days theory crafting. I am in fact, not someone who plans his future.
In real life I can’t stand clutter, in video games I’m a hoarder.
When I play games, I do hours of research and commit to the slow grind of doing the “hard” things to make my character better. In real life I microwave instant Ramen cups.
Hm.
In videogames I have sex 😞
