What is more enjoyable, playing CRPGs or talking about them here?

Discussion in 'General RPG Discussion' started by TemplarGR, Jun 6, 2020 at 4:32 PM.

What is better, playing RPGs or talking about them on the Codex?

  1. I prefer actually playing games and i don't have time to discuss them

  2. I prefer a balanced approach, i split my time spend evenly between playing them and discussing them

  3. I rarely play any RPGs but i am a regular here and i discuss about games a lot

  4. I haven't played any RPG since the 90s. I am just here to cry about me growing up.

Results are only viewable after voting.

    This is a serious question. Seeing as many people are always online and discussing CRPGs all day, and thinking that CRPGs are generally time consuming endeavors, it is easy to assume that most people that talk too much here don't actually play a lot, unless they are unemployed bums with no social life living in their moms' basements, but then, how can they keep paying internet and electricity? It doesn't make sense to me. So please, share your thoughts, how are you spending your CRPG time and what is more enjoyable, actually playing the games or just talking about them on the codex, especially trash talking every game and calling it shit?

    Personally, I prefer reading others bitching about video games to playing video games or bitching about them myself.

    I'd rather get stabbed by crackheads under a fucking bridge than do either at this point.

    1. I live in my own room, not in the basement. What kind of person lives in their mother's basement? I'm guessing it makes sense if you moved out of your parents home and for some reason they decided to use your former room for a different purpose, but even then your parents must not really love you if they don't clear that room up for you.
    2. They pay for Internet and electricity. :cool:

    To be honest, I was thinking about this recently - the Codex indicator that an RPG is good is how small the thread is or if it's centered around bulds and strategies discussion.

    Check out the threads for Pathfinder Kingmaker or Underrail. There are no long winded discussions or flame wars, everybody is discussing builds, mechanics and strategies. Then check out any thread about an Obsidian game.

    Personally I tend to post the least about the games I like the most. One reason is that I have nothing to complain about, another is that I want to discover stuff for myself and don't want to get spoiled.

    I have never seen a video game being played in my life. Hell, I don't even know what a "video game" is.
