It's screentime if you plan your build, but it's books if you think about the next season pass before it's released. We checked, and if the season pass is released, it's screentime. But before it's released, it's books. So we sell season pass pre-orders.

consuming some media? let me show you something interesting. there are only 2 types of media consumption: books and screen time,

having to come to terms with the fact that CLICKOLDING is books was not on my agenda tonight, but life's just full of surprises like that.

Alan Wake 2: very book

Gaming with your friends is pickleball though

Games are awesome and Ball x Pit is an awesome game but it is absolutely screen time

If a game has a defined ending, but I never reach it, is it books or screen time?

gaming is eustress mental health hobby if it has no end but you manage lots of numbers & lots of little guys in it. gaming is non-productive capital labor if it has no end, you manage lots of numbers & lots of little guys in it, and the guys are tied to monthly micro transactions.

Would that make sidequests vignettes?

Umineko is books

Finally making progress in void stranger and I feel like I'm reading house of leaves

In verb science this is called “telic” and “atelic”

which is a type of fencing actually

RDR2 is definitely books, and Binding of Isaac is definitely screen time. I think the question "is BotW books or screen time" could start major religious schisms.

I tried to read my treadmill and got dizzy, checks out

Screen time. Books aren't about being creatively stimulating, they're about spending time processing someone else's perspective on the world.

Does that make live service games equal to a subscription based magazine?

What if it has a conclusion but I use it as a treadmill to meditate on medium

Noooo my 200 hours of balatro is reading

games that make you turn them on their side to play them like rhythm heaven are basically danielewski novels

unless it's a city builder or a map game, in which case it's studying which is not screen time

What if I play a game with no conclusion while using a treadmill? Does it double or cancel each other out

u pick book or screen time from the main menu

Titanfall 2 is a book glued to a treadmill

In a way the single player is a tutorial for the multiplayer, so the rulebook analogy is really apt dmhjsghfmjgs

no it's house of leaves 2 actually

Kind of a spoiler so I’ll try to be vague, but to be honest it kind of has several soft endings, where the game kind of says “if you wanted to stop now we wouldn’t blame you” But the community is STILL trying to figure some stuff out, so I wouldn’t say it really has an ending, no.

unless it looks like this then its a book again

And here I thought I was beating the illiteracy allegations.

Honestly kinda true for all media.

Destiny Campaign = Book Destiny Dailies = Screen

The pain in my brain when faced with weird yet objective truths.

Xenoblade is books, got it!

"Video games are meant to be played alone."

I dont care for games that arent books.

Oh wow my brain had completely replaced the original to think it was about music I gotta return to the texts

Critical Role and other ttrpgs are games, making watching them books, but if you’re playing the trrpg that’s scre(aming at your friends) time

The book with all the words. Fortunately, Final Cut is also an excellent audiobook. 🤣 Seriously, though, what a great book!

Gaming is sports, for me. Neither books or screen time, I'm locked in.

of course the president of Big Sit Back and Think About It would say this

Is The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy books? I’m torn on whether to think of it as having a hundred endings, one ending, or zero endings.

Guy who plays valorant for the interesting plot and themes

Final Fantasy 14 is screen time but Final Fantasy 15 is a book

this is how VN are actually the ulmate books maybe more books than books itself

Saying that 50 Shades of Grey is more valid art than Final Fantasy 14 because one is a book and the other isn't over is BUCK ASS WILD my guy

Books that stop you falling down a rabbit hole for hours too

Most people don’t finish games; is it screen time if you never see the ending?

thinking about games I've seen friends play recently; Inscryption is books but despite having an end credits crawl, Subnautica is screen time. ditto Minecraft. Baldur's Gate is TTRPG, which is books, mostly.

mouthwashing is books. still thinking about it

taking notes
