Moon Remix RPG Adventure
One of my favorites

Real life is gay, escapism is awesome and claiming otherwise is due to a skill issue.
>>
>>730649973
One day when you're older, you'll realize your entire lifetime was spent escaping
Dying without regrets is important
>>
>>730650540
And I enjoyed every second, why would I have regrets about that?
>>

You're a dumb nigger

>escapism is bad
Show me a recent game that peddles that. None do because iRL is fundamentally broken for younger people and escapism is all that is left.

Are there any pro-escapism games?
>>
>>730650540
No that's work you're thinking of. Dealing with patients at end of life is a very regular part of my line of work. Almost universally if a regret is expressed, it has to do with working too much or not being close enough to their children.

For me personally, I'd regret dying having only consumed and never created
Which is why I'm making games now, spent way too long only consuming games
>>
>>730651597
Pro escapism content usually doesn't try to argue about itself, it just is.
>>
>>730651597
Yeah any free to play gacha games
Those fuckers would have you live inside of the games if possible
>>
>>730649368
E33 clearly depicts the escapism ending as dystopian.

>dude, you're a mentally ill shut-in that literally didn't go outside from the day you've finished high school? stop escaping your reality and le start breeding and working! only you can save yourself from yourself!
Wow, truly beautiful.
>>
>>730649368
.hack g.u is not about escapism tho
>>
>>730654669
I take it more as "stop running from your problems, they're not going away anytime soon" type of deal
Face em head on and you will end up happier
You know what you're avoiding

>Haseo started playing the world and became obsessed with it because it was better than forming connections irl (he was still shit at it)
>Atoli started playing the world and became obsessed with it because her real life was terrible, and she wanted to escape it
>Endurance started playing the world because he was a complete failure NEET irl who had zero social skills or motivation to do anything in life other than sit in his room 24/7

GU comments on many problems with modern society. Escapism was always one of the main recurring themes of the franchise

News outlets and short videos brain smoothers.
The knowledge of human made horros beyond our control makes you want to just play vidya all day long, it numbs that funny feeling attatched to the ever reaching doom that looms above us.

Just forget bro, time will pass either way.

It's not a game but the dragon quest movie is one of the most pro-escapism things I've seen.
>>
>>730649973
based. I particularly hate it when it's a product that I have to buy to escape that tells me escapism is le bad.
>>
need some jrpg's reccs with stories that dont amount to killing god or anime existentialism.
>>
>>730655078
Its never the main focus, its always about saving the girl that got literally sucked by the game.
hell one of the main problems with the game is that Haseo doesn't exist outside The World and feels more like an entity in it instead of a "playable character".
>>
>>730649368
Escapism is good, I hate this stupid trope, some people just don't fit in with normal people but still desire connection.

>>730650540
So far, I only regret trying to be normal, I should have went full blown hiki years ago.
