Video Games

So I was wondering, how do I get back to gaming in a productive manner. I have so many good memories riding around the map of GTA v listening to Leo's videos. It's part of my life purpose but it's like there too many games and so much hours to them. Also I had a awakening in jail, I realize that it's simple as it's just nothing and my arms are nothing so that means I'm God. But during those times I miss gaming so much. Now that I have all my games back, im indecisive. So how do I become ultra high consciousness IQ gamer.

@GraceUnity730 I think playing games like zelda breath of the wild and hearing Podcasts is the way to go.

I'm not sure what you mean by becoming a high consciousness IQ gamer.

In any case, I'd just pick one that catches my attention, The Last of Us series for example. Then you try another one.

   I kind of get what you're saying. maybe try finding gems like what this guy's reviewing:

   IMO truly a masterpiece of a bullet hell game. Several from what I've found and some played:

Super Metroid for Nintendo, very nice 2d platformer and shooter, good mechanic and movement.

Devil May Cry, a classic hack and slash. I especially like the devil trigger art and graphics, so powerful and badass and the bosses are nice.

Resident Evil 1 remake for Nintendo cube, maybe 0, 2, and 3 the original. Especially Resident Evil 4 the original(RE4 Remake and 3 are just bad, it got the Kathleen Kennedy treatment)

Final Fantasy classic games, especially FF 7,8 and 9.

Chaos Legion, especially for a PS2 game the graphics are delicious, the game mechanics do need getting used to but gameplay is nice and music so emotionally powerful. Unique and simple story as well.

Yu-Gi-Oh card game, for Nintendo, or other card games, pretty cool game play and experience.

Dino Crisis 1, not 2 or it's other sequels but just 1 is REALLY GOOD as an action and horror, definitely feels like a true survival horror title. Basically makes dinosaurs scary again. I remember just playing the demo, and some of the games I listed actually had demo versions in demo discs, I remember playing this demo version of Dino crisis and it really was terrifying! I was not expecting a raptor(thanks to the fix cams and me not paying attention to audio cues) and I got jump scared so badly when that thing jump at me, the game character, despite there being a laser fence there I rolled off my bunk bed and just left.

Any chess game, or even any strategy themed game is great. Classics is the Civ game series.

The Last Of Us 1 nd especially 2, really good story plot, really good characterization, and great combat mechanics.

   And a few more I could list. These games I sometimes have watched playthroughs of, but most I've played the games myself and got to experience them.

Lol Ive been playing the new GTA V online DLC while listening to Daniel Schmactenberger interviews. I guess that counts as some sort of productive procrastination

It's so funny how people can get deluded that playing a video game is something productive

@FourCrossedWands playing a video game while running on a threadmill and hearing a Podcast is productive

Sleeping is more productive 😁

But yeah, you should have that healthy balance between fun and work in your life.
