I like games a lot, mostly because they manage to temporarily distract me from the inescapable and depressing certainty of death

also books and movies

But the power fantasies in games better distract from the knowledge that you're a worthless peon who can easily be replaced by a plank of wood in all aspects of your life.

In fact reducing death to a mere inconvenience also makes games better than books and movies.

is that the one where they didn't put a speed limit on reversing so you could just keep accelerating until the game crashed

it's their way of saying the only winning move is not to play only you will never get your time spent back
