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.

BioShock Infinite is well-regarded for several reasons, not the least of which is its masterful handling of exposition. By concealing key information in the setting, BioShock Infinite teaches its players everything they need to know about the history, culture, and technology of the world without slowing down the action. Writers who wish to avoid info-dumps in their work can look to BioShock Infinite as an example of how to hide background information where it belongs: in the background.
