     @lapin @TsukiIsBased they watch starter guides before playing a game and when they encounter even the slightest roadblock, they look up the solution instead of trying to overcome it

     @lapin @Meemoo With their brains off.
     Fun is secondary. You need to play by skipping all cutscenes, using tons of video guides without even playing, and turn on infinite hp cheats or shit like that.

     @TsukiIsBased @lapin zoomies don't play games for fun.
     They "play" they can gloat on social media that they did.
     
     Here's my personal favorite, they look up guides for a game that derives it's fun from learning through trial and error

     @Meemoo @lapin Pretty much this. They play so they can say they're gamers by having a large library. When all they did was cheat the best strats from day 1 and took zero time to understand the game mechanics.
     
     A lot of them even skip the cutscenes, and only look up the cutscenes when they need to, on 2x speed.... I've seen people like that myself. :chika_no:

     @Dudebro @TsukiIsBased @lapin I played games in Japanese on the PS2 as a kid without knowing a lick of moonrunes and beat them. Heck, I couldn't read English until late into the PS3 era.

     @Meemoo @TsukiIsBased @lapin gotta say though, there are some games whose learning curve is too steep at times. F&H is one of then, Dont Starve too, and Project Zomboid.
     
     There's a lot of ways things can go wrong, so having a basic knowledge helps greatly.

     Explaining feng shui mechanics and interaction of Chinese elements. They did fix it later with a community chat option that you could click an item and it would explain it. But watching rimworld style pawns die because doors are not on the wrong side and buildings are built incorrectly with elements was hard for someone who at the time knew jack shit about Chinese myth.

     @Dudebro @Meemoo @lapin What's a language issue in games that can't be resolved by using a translator, and how does a starter guide fix that issue? Genuinely curious.

     @Dudebro @Meemoo @lapin Didn't play so no clue what you're talking about in context, but in general I fail to see why a guide is needed. Anything text and audio can be translated these days now more than ever... And if it's not that, then it's not a language issue, so it can be figured out without a guide.
     
     I don't see the benefit. :miyu_shake:

     @TsukiIsBased @Dudebro @Ronnie21093 @lapin good luck getting the AI to translate what cultivation means without it giving you a result about farming when in chink context it refers to achieving immortality and other obscure chink fantasy terms

     Cultivation is a trip man. It took me a year of reading wuxia before I can say I have an intermediate grasp on what they mean. Its an entire concept in itself. There is no western equivalent either because our immortals are either born with it or given it and cant just work hard to become immortal.

     Wuthering waves and ToF filtered me with their chinese regions and those 2 are very light on wuxia slop.
     Hell, even Mihoyo had to dial it down like mad to not filter their global players

     @Goalkeeper @Dudebro @Meemoo @TsukiIsBased @lapin I made a Ice-based build and took over that ice clan, but I found out that taking over regions didn't work in whatever version I was playing.
     So I went on and made myself impossibly strong by buying those mushrooms from the ships and finished the main mission.
     And I found out about NG+, then I got bored.
