Mine has to be cop procederals and paper money.
A)I just like solving mysteries and problems and have a natural deference to authority figures, so I’ve watched way too many cop shows. The only one I’m not ashamed to name is The Wire, which is really good and probably is the only one with genuine substance.
B)It’s not the concept of money I enjoy, i just like having a physical thing I exchange to get another physical thing. I…“dislike” per se, using numbers on a screen to get food or something.
My guess, besides the possible bourgeois themes and influences present, would be that video games often demand massive amounts of time and dedication compared to other media and may thus come at the most expense of a social life or connection to reality.
I’m a hard-core gamer myself with over 150 under my belt, have been forever. But I also acknowledge that I’m a product of a dysfunctional, isolated environment, so the pleasure wouldn’t be guilty here.
There are cheap ones, and a lot without bourgeois themes. But besides, one of the most famous games was made in USSR.
Oh right, that one. And it may be the most addictive of them all. Released literally in 1984, during Chernenko’s brief term.
