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.

we have a zero tolerance policy toward plagiarism at cutscene university: if you plagiarize, you will be expelled from the university. Indeed, I like to think of the 'zero' in our 'zero tolerance' policy as being metaphorically referent to the character of Zero from the Megaman X and Megaman Zero series of video games. Cutscene University's policy of expulsion for plagiarism thematically mirrors Zero's destruction of Copy X, himself a plagiarized version of the benevolent robot X from the Megaman X series of video games. in facgt, if we perform a close reading of the franchise we see the authorial obsession with this theme of authentic artistry versus imitation from the very beginning: as Dr. Cain's unlicensed reproduction of X's schematics from Dr. Light's lab--done without proper safety protocols--resulted in design flaws that created the menacing Maverick enemies that plague X throughout the series. In conclusion, cite your sources.
