A screenshot of a Tumblr conversation. The user sirobvious writes: “Avoid video games that use extrinsic motivation. A video game should at least mostly rely on intrinsic motivation, meaning that the playing of the game itself is the fun part, not the reward you get for playing the game. If you don't enjoy the gameplay, but you want to earn lootboxes, you've fallen into the intentionally exploitative system operating within so many games nowadays, and you need to find another game, because you're not having fun. It doesn't sound serious, but this kind of thing can make depression way worse if you've already got depression." The user smitethepatriarchy replies: “This post got me to stop playing Overwatch and I'm eternally grateful.”

I'm several months late to the "four games I've worked on" party, but I'm doing it anyway! 🎮
An elegant woman with jade jewelry gazes intently at her hand, surrounded by swirling pillars of dark, chaotic magic. (A screenshot from Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons.) Three small fire monsters face off against three small rock monsters in a misty cave full of crystals. (A screenshot from Amazing Battle Creatures.) A man in a white robe (Altaïr) stands over a woman in a brown cloak (Maria) inside a medieval castle. (A screenshot from Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines.) A car stopped on a foggy city street, its path blocked by a 30-foot-tall humanoid monster lumbering out of the mist. (A screenshot from Gears and Guts.)

This but in real life, please, thank you
A header says "Shake It Off!" Below it is the description: "Shout. Cure conditions on yourself and nearby allies. Conditions removed: 3. Number of Targets: 5. Radius: 600. In game description." (This is an excerpt from the Guild Wars 2 Wiki describing an in-game ability.)
