Yeah there was one news post involving Luigi showing his steam game hours lmfao and his most egregious of 400 hours in pubg looks fucking normal for most 26 year olds, if the news saw my wow hours they’d say I have a problem
I fucking love doing 4 minutes of math problems to land a kill shot, but at the same time, people acting like video games with guns is a direct pipeline to violence or even my mom who called me earlier today to talk about chat ai and how it causes suicide and is evil, it’s all just bullshit fear mongering of trying to blame problems on new stuff you don’t understand.
Sniping in other games: "Boy, I sure do love playing LucasArts' point-and-click adventure games!"
Sniping in ArmA: "Drag function, ballistic coefficient, bullet weight, initial velocity, zero range, sight height, shooting angle, wind speed, wind angle, altitude, temperature, relative humanity... Am I missing something? Oh fuck, I forgot to account for barometric pressure! Now I'll never make the shot!"
You forgot coriolis effect and rifling tightness and how many spirals per inch the barrel has, as well as target height, and speed. Also, you have to time the shot between breaths and if you’re really good, heartbeats.

Doesn't matter the source - mainstream media has been trying to pin violence on video games for as long as I can remember.
