   @coon @nugger SEE IMAGE: THE NORMIE INVASION INTO VIDEO GAMES (INCLUDING THE SELF-INSERT PHENOMENON) IS LARGELY A PRODUCT OF DIGITAL CONSENSUS-BUILDING, WHICH THEY BRING TO EVERY PLACE THEY INHABIT. SINCE THERE ARE MORE OF THEM AS THEY ARE SO EAGER TO SHOW CONSENSUS IT IS A FAR BETTER ECONOMIC MODEL TO CATER TO THEM AT ALL TIMES, AT ALL COSTS
   
   WE DID HAVE A MIDDLE GROUND FOR A WHILE. THE BIGGEST WILDCARD WITHIN GAMING IN WHAT A DIGITAL AVATAR REPRESENTED WAS THE MMORPG GENRE, WHICH ALLOWED FOR COMPLETE DISSOCIATION FROM YOURSELF WHEN IT CAME TO THE CORE GAMEPLAY (WITH HEAVY RPG ELEMENTS) YET ALLOWED FOR YOU TO SIMULTANEOUSLY EXIST COMPLETELY AS YOUR IRL SELF WITHIN THE SOCIAL SYSTEMS THAT EXISTED WITHIN THE GAME
   
   NATURALLY AS OUR SOCIETY'S PRIDE AND HUBRIS REACHED A CRITICAL BREAKPOINT THE MMORPG GENRE HAD TO DIE AS THE RPG ELEMENTS REMAINED COMPLETELY SKILL-BASED, WHILE SOCIALLY YOU HAD TO EXIST IN A SOMEWHAT COMPATIBLE FORM WITH OTHERS TOO. LIKE YOU SAID NORMIES DON'T WANT A PLAYER'S GAMING OR SOCIAL SKILL TO BE PART OF THE EQUATION, ONLY IDEALIZED FORMS OF THESE THAT DO NOT ACTUALLY EXIST
   
   AND SO THE ACTUAL RPG ENJOYERS ENDED GOING FULL UNAGAMER WITH DOZENS OF TREE CHOPPING SIMULATORS THAT REQUIRE A MULTITUDE OF CAREFULLY BALANCED STATLINES TO BE MAINTAINED SO YOUR DIGITAL AVATAR CAN SQUAT IN A DARK LOG FORT IN RELATIVE PEACE
   
   FPS GAMING HAS GONE THE SAME ROUTE WITH FULL ARCADE-NORMIE FRIENDLY STYLES, THEN STRAIGHT TO RPG CHARACTER SHEET HUFFING AND PUFFING SIMULATOR SHOOTERS. IN THIS CASE I ACTUALLY SUPPORT THE ARCADEY GAMES BECAUSE IT ENDS UP MORE ABOUT SKILL THAN SHOOTING+LOOTING "SIMULATORS" WHERE SQUATTING UNDER A BUSH FOR 20 MINUTES WAITING TO SHOOT SOMEONE WHO DARED TO HAVE FUN (MOVES AROUND) IS CONSIDERED GOOD GAMEPLAY. I MAY NOT RELATE TO THIS GENRE WELL THOUGH BECAUSE IT HEAVILY CATERS TO PREVIOUS FAST PACED FPS PLAYERS WHO HAVE SINCE GAINED A LOT OF WEIGHT AND TAKEN ON A SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROBLEM SO THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE FAST GAMEPLAY - IN THIS SENSE THE SELF-INSERT AVATAR IS ONCE AGAIN REALIZED
