If video games actually determined our real world behavior, we wouldn't be violent we would be obsessed with powerwashing and all have CDLs.

    I’d be a min-maxing hoarder that never used stuff. In all honestly, I should probably try to be more like that minus the hoarding.

    I love eating mushrooms, being high as fuck, hitting bricks with my hands and crushing turts all day.

    What I get from simulation video games is that if I didn’t have to worry about working to live and the daily grind of life, I’d work to get real-world experience doing stuff I may like.

    Call of Duty League?
    Commercial Driver’s Licence?
    Christian Defence League?

    I would sell so many organs

    In my case the bodies of my enemies would fuel my armies of the undead leaving a trail of blood and destruction behind me. If the first boss I encounter doesn’t take me out.

    I’d be rolling everything up into a ball as my distant authority figure father berates me.

    I’d be wacking walls and machinery with a pickaxe.

    I guess I’m an immortal autocrat with foresight and pattern recognition good enough to be the global economy by the 16th century.

    I play too much 4x.

    Then I’d be pretty violent against demon invasions of our world. Or maybe I already am, don’t really know how to test it out lol.

      Halloween has literally just happened. How many demons did you slay?

    There would certainly not be any feral pig problems in the US, that’s for sure.

      I never understood how “vitality” means not armor but instead an inheret "unkillable"ness until I started looking into fetal pigs.

    I’d be an expert race car driver, or really good at parkour.

      This just made me imagine a sport that contains both and it would be awesome, call it Guerilla Valet.

    Imagine your behavior shaped by Ubisoft collect-a-thons. Now that’s grim.

    • ManOMorphos@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Drug addicts looking for scrap metal aren’t much different. They look through abandoned structures, sneak around armed “hostiles”, and sleep wherever there are no enemies.

    And I’d be eating readily available street pizza all the time!

    “Hey look, someone left a full ham roast here on the sidewalk! I’m bleeding pretty bad, so I’ll go ahead and chow down! Let me just squat over it real quick, I can usually eat a roast ham in 0.06 seconds (assuming I’ve lost enough blood).”

    I’d be succesful in governing countries and making them prosperous and free as fuck without being conquered.

    Oh, and I also farm.

    I’d be a successful xenobiologist.

  • thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’d just be living in a small town, digging through trash cans, giving fish to the local homeless man, giving beer to the alcoholic and mostly just planting an ungodly amount of fruit trees on my land.
