I'm a post-80s generation, I've been playing games for 20 years, a professional worker, a super dad, PS5/Xbox/Switch/PC, a player on all platforms, and a standard middle-aged uncle.
For our post-70s and post-80s generations, childhood game memories, there are Xiaobawang learning machines, pirated FC cards blooming everywhere, some parents hate it, we squeeze out breakfast money to play game halls, there are short-lived, but leave CS, Red Police and other famous memories of Internet cafes, there are game magazines such as electric soft, UCG, etc., and there are Sony PS console game rooms that make me addicted to live football. [Licking screen]
It's a pity that the beauty of these memories has slowly drifted away from my life with time.
Until now, I still remember that next to the theater in my hometown, the game hall was noisy, dim, smelly, and full of voices, and the first time I saw The King of Fighters 97, Three Kingdoms Wars, Dinosaur Kombat, and Metal Slug, what shocked me was not only the 3D game picture, but also the ultra-low price of 1 yuan and 10 coins. At that time, those who could clear customs with 1 coin were simply Internet celebrities. [covers face]
Do you love to play games?
In middle age, the pressure of reality is getting bigger and bigger (Tesla has laid off 10% of its employees worldwide [covering his face]), in the eyes of parents and daughters-in-law, playing games is a plaything, and not making money is a sin, and it will only waste time.
I don't know when it started.,My game time is getting less and less.,My mentality is getting more and more impetuous.,Later,I can't even play single-player games very much.,Although I still love it in my heart!
Why is this happening? [poor] [black line]
Middle-aged people, the more you play the game, the worse the reality?
Game RGB
Before answering this question, let's clarify the two concepts in the article, game and reality.
To put it simply,
1️⃣ Game: In the text, I want to refer specifically to the stand-alone game, which can be played by one person behind closed doors, closed-loop play, paused at any time, continued, reopened, rhythm and gameplay, as you like ❤️.
2️⃣ Reality: At the end of the day, it's also a game. 365 days, 24 hours, 1.4 billion people (China), real-time online, open-world game. A person, a lifetime is a game, and you can't reopen the file.
Housing loans, car loans, interpersonal communication, life pressure, the law of the jungle, and fraud, the whole process is online every day, live broadcast.
It's so cruel! I played the pinnacle of life well, and I lost the street deletion.
Guess what game this is?
From 996 to 007, from "don't lose at the starting line" to "marry Bai Fumei, become the CEO, and go to the pinnacle of life", your life is free to customize, and there are countless powerful bosses, waiting for you to conquer the city, extremely hardcore gameplay, and the mechanism of permanent death, so that you can find the thrill of adrenaline rush in PvP!
Real-world games, waiting for you to rush! Millennium servers, stable and lag-free. There are no top-up channels. Every piece of equipment needs to be built by yourself.
As a real-world player, you can see everyone as an NPC in the game, as a stepping stone for your advanced growth, fighting monsters and leveling up.
You're hanging in the game, you're offline, this game still exists, it's just that you don't exist anymore.

Some people, in the game, are thriving, upgrading and fighting monsters, omnipotent, and platinum is soft, but in reality, they are in a dilemma and in a difficult situation. Some are the opposite.
In a real-world game, there is one thing that cannot be avoided, this game is not, it is based on complete fairness.
Money is really important in real-world games. Some people, some big guys take the game to get started, some people are strong krypton, some people like to change servers, most of us are zero krypton players, and they belong to the existence of increasing the game experience of big guys.
Wang Sicong's game experience is not at the same level as the game experience of ordinary people.
The real world game, which seems to be fair, is actually an unbalanced confrontation, and most players are leeks. [tears run]
In addition, it is said that it is extremely difficult to reverse the disadvantage. (For example, there was a popular video in the early stage, where children talked about their dreams, wanted to inherit the family business, and became the president of the Agricultural Development Bank of China, everyone who understands it!)
Many middle-aged people, in order to escape reality for a short time, fall in love with stand-alone games. Because only single-player games are truly a utopia created based on the principle of absolute fairness.
Handheld is good
If you can't beat the boss, it's your dish, and if you can beat it, it's your cow. The fact that you have vegetables or cattle is certain, and it will not change because of how much money you have charged or how many relationships you have. [Great Gold Tooth]
In the game world, you can explore, adventure, and fight to your heart's content, experience all kinds of excitement and fun, and gallop alone in the game, pursuing higher achievements and honors.
This is also one of the reasons why single-player games can make many people addicted.
There are also a lot of things in the stand-alone game, which you can't experience in real-world games. [wipe sweat]
For example, God of War 4, Monster Hunter, Elden Ring, Ronin Rise, Dragon's Creed 2, the abilities and equipment of the characters in them, and the magic power; Wait[awkward laughs]
It is also said that in middle age, our game time is really precious.
I play stand-alone games, I can play with the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow refreshingly, with the least amount of time, experience the most games! This is also one of the important reasons for choosing a stand-alone game!
Moreover, you say that getting fun in real-world games costs more than playing a game for an hour or two a day and playing a single-player game.
Call a few brothers, go out to skewers, drink, three or four big men, no four or five hundred, can't eat. You can lose hundreds or thousands of dollars when you go out and play a round of cards.
The play space is perfect
Back to the question at the beginning, middle-aged people, whether you choose the game or reality, the most important thing is to be happy.
I still remember that I couldn't get the PS2 I was thinking about, and I couldn't afford to play it (8 yuan / hour in the video game store, and a piece of egg scrambled noodles was only 0.8 yuan at that time) I could only baba every day to watch others play.
Since I was a child, I dreamed of having my own game console, whether it was GBA or PSP, as long as it was a game console, and then my parents felt that the game was not good, which affected my studies, so I never bought it.
Now, when I play a single-player game, do I have to think about this? Sony PS5, PC or Microsoft XSX, Nintendo Switch, handheld Steam Deck? Adult choice is all about it! Decades have left, and I have a few decades left?
I can't afford a big house, I can't afford a game console, I want to buy it, I don't have time to play, I put it there, I feel comfortable, I know it's worth it, I don't play for a year, but I also buy a whole year membership. It's worth it, it's all lost youth!
Yesterday, I brushed today's headlines, the black myth Wukong, has been on the PS store, super looking forward to it![Lick the screen]
Digital is a man's favorite
In the same way, if you want to pursue what you want and achieve more value in the real world, then bury your head and rush it, don't care about so many rules and regulations, those stumbling blocks, overcome all difficulties, overcome, defeat, and break them!
Finally, for players who want to clear the real-life open-world game, attach the difficulty level of the Global Starter Village: [Witty]
(1) Europe and North America - novice (more resources, suitable for experience-oriented players)
(2) Asia - medium (general resources, opportunities and challenges coexist, comfortable and safe, the novice village of each of us is still good [tears]) [yes]
(3) Africa - Advanced (less resources, more challenges, but a mosquito may kill you)
(4) South America - brick family (a lot of opportunities and a lot of challenges, one is not careful will lose a small life, winner takes all)
(5) Middle East Theater - Hell (a veritable hell)
Do you think there is some reason? [Flashes of inspiration]
Getting back to the point, moderate play makes people happy and healthy.
Addicted to games, you may lose your job, run away from your daughter-in-law, and waste your children.
Whether it is young or middle-aged, they all have to carry the weight for themselves and their families, and no one is easy.
The game, just play it, is the least respect for yourself.
The game, just stop, is the least respect for the family.
Jack Ma's classic famous scene
Writing this, thinking of Ma Yun's classic famous scene, he said, "I don't like money, I'm not interested in money!" The CCTV host next to him, Sa Beining, was directly stunned, and the emoji became popular on the Internet. [tears run]
But we're not the same as Jack Ma. Haha, so go for it!
I'm a little guy who loves to play games
No liver or krypton, no sadness or joy;
Isn't it good to play the game like this?
Let's talk about it in the comment area~
