The Gamer Philosophy: 10 Lessons to Enjoy Life


Until a few years ago, being a gamer was synonymous with wasting time. However, today we know that there are countless benefits for those who play video games, such as a type of mental gym. But what about the philosophy itself that video games inherently convey?


Video games were born from board games, which were always a form of socialization, strategy, and challenges. It's logical that video games have built upon this foundation, but what's most important is that they constructed upon it. In video games, an average character can develop their potential by facing challenges, making difficult decisions, and overcoming obstacles. Sometimes, you have to try hundreds of times until you succeed, but you always have the ability to decide whether to continue or move on.



There are even video games with different endings depending on the decisions we make, like "Before Your Eyes", where time advances if we blink. Some games may seem impossible due to not aligning with our skills, reasoning ability, memory, or strategy; we can persist and develop skills that we can directly apply to our lives or simply choose a new game.


The interesting thing is that we can learn a lot from this and apply it to our daily lives.

  • Life doesn't end because the "video game" you chose doesn't suit you or align with your skills; you can always choose another one.
  • Life offers many opportunities for improvement, but it's okay to choose the ones that fit your "strategy" and let others pass.
  • Each ending is different, even if you play the same video game, because we make different decisions, but in the end, everyone has fun in their own way.
  • Life is a game that it's about developing your potential.
  • You decide whether to focus on the main story or spend hours on side quests.
  • Effort always brings a reward, and its value depends on your perspective; we don't have to seek all rewards, just the ones that are worth it to us.
  • It's worth investing effort in developing skills that fit our taste and plan.
  • Even leveling up to 100 is enough to trigger the "level up" music. Celebrate small achievements.
  • Life is made to have fun and socialize.
  • The story can pass in the blink of an eye.

The gamer philosophy teaches us that life is a game that we can enjoy and make the most of. Remember that each ending is different, and effort always brings a reward. Invest in developing skills that fit your taste and plan. Enjoy the game of your life.

El lienzo en blanco de la vida.

Imagen
¿Qué es la vida si no un lienzo en blanco donde podemos crear cualquier cosa que deseemos? Los niños son los mejores ejemplos de imaginación sin límites, capaces de crear mundos y posibilidades infinitas. Pero ¿Qué sucede cuando el miedo y la comodidad nos impiden aprovechar al máximo nuestro lienzo en blanco? Al igual que un lienzo en blanco asusta al artista, la vida misma representa un abrumador espacio en blanco. Al igual que el artista, perderle el miedo al lienzo significa comenzar a entender nuestro sentido. Sin embargo, de la misma manera en que un artista nos sorprende con un estilo único de arte, de trazo, una técnica nueva, materiales inesperados, una vez que sus obras parecen salidas de una fábrica, pierde el toque y el encanto para dejar de ser una figura disruptiva en la sociedad. Lo mismo pasa en nuestra vida: cuando comenzamos con el lienzo en blanco, siempre sentimos emoción y, uno a uno, nuestros logros van trayéndonos felicidad porque representan un reto cumplido y u...
