like a game will present me with the most infuriating, hardest timed, most convoluted mechanics puzzle it can muster and i'll be like, this is a 10/10, i cannot fucking wait to bash my head against a wall for thirty minutes for the extreme dopamine rush solving it gives me
Video games that are meant to be puzzle games can be really fun. Games like tomb raider that have easy puzzles that are also dumb and confusing suck.
My partner gets really mad when she gets stuck on a puzzle and I walk in and figure it out before she can look up the answer
It's not my fault I was born with advanced puzzle-solving powers
i'm sad to tell you, you're suffering from terminal having-fun-itis 😔

Baba is You

We'll sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
