Is there any benefits of choosing Yea Forumsideo games over Yea Forumsrature?

You're just a brainlet it is nothing to do with being 'made' to hate it

Gatsby is all right but Nick being just a passive observer letting things go to shit really pissed me off.

you should really give it another go user

Did he die of a cum overdose?

I like reading, but don't do it much. Now I know it will lead to date androgynous hollywood stars that have a 95% chance to have been born as males

>age 18: I'll take a crack at Les Miserables... wow, this is pretty great
>age 27: I don't have the time for this anymore

oh, and I'm 32 but can't be bothered to put in what I'm like with either now. I guess it'd be interest in a few select games and struggling to find interest in reading.

reading the great gatsby is like advertising you play CoD exclusively kek

>reader is a psychopath who likes great gatsby
checks out

>my 3d waifu
maybe some day when science gets its shit together

>reader is STILL thinking about video games at 18 and hasn't moved on
quentin was a fraud

>progress of a reader
>age 24: surrounded by mid white women
i can think of nothing worse

here's something worse: add 10 years and make the women drink white wine
don't ask me how I know

Same thing happened to me. School made me read borings books that were just rich fucks in 18th Century going to each other's houses so I didn't read for 5 years. Eventually I bought a Lovecraft collectiom book (because Bloodborne) and now I read again

>the great gatsby

I think games can help you learn in ways you don't realise, I might not understand much Serbian, but if a play a game i'm used to in English but switch it to Serbian, I might start getting used to translating words to another language.

But yeah, nothing beats reading.

That's what makes Quentin's Gatsby obsession so funny. It's required reading in American schools, so it makes it clear he was a high schooler making these.

all these barely literate shitters ITT filtered by Gatsby, pathetic

why not sort out your own shit, is that too hard for you?

>Great gatsby
Overrated shit.
Want a very big book to impress your friends who dont read? Read the three musketeers, at least its funnier.

Reading books will absolutely ruin storytelling in games for you, though. Like, it's incredible how a plot that would be mediocre in a novel wins GOTY awards for narrative in the game space. The only games that come close are some of the older western RPGs, and visual novels if those even count as games.

the teaching approach should be kids pick out the books, teacher takes a glance to make sure its not a fake novel and has a bare minimum level of content, and then let's the kid handle talking about the book with the base guideline of "describe something interesting from the book you read"
foster actial conversations about literature, let kids engage in things they like and topics that matter to them, and try to reach them genuinely through their experience with art
instead we have mass-produced DMV slugs told to read boring 18th century lit because some jew somewhere said that its important to read the "canon" classics and not things they specifically didn't hear about first
fuck academia, fuck intelligentsia, fuck everyone complicit in the modern educational system and its failure in providing students an environment where they can grow positively

No, I think making a story in a game is more immersive, they are both fiction, but games give you the tools to experience them in a new light, mabye creat a whole new narrative.

Dwarf fortress is just text prompts, but people go wild for that shit, but then again, those people might just be too autistic in the first place.

i used to read a lot
didn't help me much
now i hate books

well not "only", but even textbased adventures can be fun.

I forget the name of a certain game, but is a choose your own adventure type deal, can lead to wild stuff.

Storytelling in games is still enjoyable, it's just the stories are rarely as deep or complex as a good novel. But other things, like how the stories are told through the gameplay, visuals and music make the experience unique enough to be worth enjoying both.

>sounds like /fit/
i used to train a lot
didn't help me much
now i hate gym

>readers are more social
what? no. readers are about as reclusive as gaymers and need book clubs to be social
games are so normie today that you can talk nearly anyone about them save for spergs without social skills

>the teaching approach should be kids pick out the books, teacher takes a glance to make sure its not a fake novel and has a bare minimum level of content, and then let's the kid handle talking about the book with the base guideline of "describe something interesting from the book you read"
this is what they already do
it's how I was able to reuse a book report for Hatchet 3 years in a row

lmao
i was a gym enthusiast too
guess what? a waste of time

Hatchet ruled

I read and play video gamed

you had a unique experience myself and everyone I know had that shit end at like the fifth grade, from there you were reading what the school told you

and movied are better than both. The end.

What kind of tool are you for chosing hobbies depending on "what benefits they give you"?

That's how it worked when I was in elementary school. Pick a book write a short report. Laat few years they implemented a reading level program so you had to read books at your reading level and then take a small test along with the report. The you have to read these books started at middle school for me.

What if i play (read) VN?

If he was right, he would have actually done something, instead of just shitposting on Yea Forums.

I do boxing
I don't feel it is worse way to spend time
mabye this is just a (You) thing.

Quentin played FFXIV and ran off with a troon to some unknown server and was never heard from again

Yes, the only Yea Forums meeting that hasn't been major cringe is the Yea Forums meeting. It was filled with above average looking people, and even had women there that looked decent. Also basically all white.

getting an active social life involves a lot of luck no matter how you slice it
I will agree with the comic however that having an active social life trumps video games 100%

cope, post pic

Yes and no, he drowned in cum but there was so much cum that it merged with all his cells and brought him back to life, now he is the cum.
He is Cumentin

>liked gatsby
lmao no

Same. I've only recently started picking up on light novels of mangas/anime that are unfinished. Seeing illustrations or an episode or two first really helps the imagination.

>great gatsby
that novel is fucking dogshit

>luck
>spends all time alone and spends money on a fantasy
I'm not gonna say "cope" or that is not true how luck based life is, I just get bothered how people make the choice to live through media and their hobbies, yet act as if it was their only choice.

>Also basically all white.
gee i wonder why

If you're interested in Star Wars books I really recommend the Jedi Academy trilogy (Kevin J. Anderson). It's fantastic,
I also liked some of the Jedi Apprentice novels but I think those were more teenage-oriented so I'm not sure I'd enjoy them today.

Here you go, it was the 2019 Yea Forums meetup in boston. The darkie girl is a crazy, but the other are lit.
