Stoicism in today's world is seen as an (often) silent protagonist (see below for celebrated artist Derpibooru's depiction of Gordon Freeman from the game Half Life) who takes hardship on the chin without so much as a complaint or bray.



The etymology of stoicism comes from the Greek* school of thought that teaches virtue, the highest good, is based on knowledge-

Knowledge.


- the wise live in harmony with the Divine Reason. that governs nature, and are indifferent to the vicissitudes of fortune and to pleasure and pain.

Pleasure.

Pain.


Gamers who are stoic prefer slow burns like Disco Elysium and Death stranding. This will be directly compared and contrasted to Libertinism gamers who like having fun while playing games like Sonic Frontiers, initially released on 8 November, 2022 and expected very soon to get a remaster.

                                                                                                                                                                                    
                                                                                         In Hellenistic philosophy the term phantasiai (φαντασίαι) is information based on sense experience.

Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor and stoic philosopher, said in his Meditations "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." We can see the same guiding principle present in the actions of Kreia (alias (spoilers ahoy!)Darth Traya), saturnine presence and uneasy companion in the acclaimed Bioware RPG STAR WARS™ Knights of the Old Republic™ II: The Sith Lords™ (2004) (check price on Steam™). Both of these thinkers strive to impress upon the reader the fact that accepting the worldview of another can only go so far towards one's development; at some point -- to truly be strong -- one must grow beyond simply digesting the conceptual food spooned up by others and begin the arduous process of chewing their own intellectual nourishment. Both personages faced many trials and hardships in their times as masters of their respective arenas, and overcame many difficulties to share the wisdom that they have with us. Another aspect each of them has in common is their advanced age.
