So, been reading some comments and wanted to note a few things.
1) Please pardon the dude playing league with a controller. I’ve never played LoL, but apparently this is a damnable sin. It’s stock footage, so, you know 😅
2) You’re welcome for the DVD part, it’s the least I can do for how kind you’ve all been to me since I started doing TH-cam ❤️
3) Thank you for being the exception to the rules, like I said, personality is not so black and white
4) Follow ya boy on Twitter - twitter.com/DarylTalksGames
5) Thank you so much for stopping by, this video seems to be doing exceptionally well and that’s because you of you 🙏🏼
Doing the thing for the algorithm
I subbed because of this video dude, it's good shit
Don’t worry man, league is trash anyways.
league's dope

"I'm here for the story, and I don't care how weird things get."
This will forever be my response when people ask how I enjoy certain things. Cuz it's hard to explain man, there are things I would've never gotten into except for the fact that I love a good story, and don't get easily put off by anything.
I hear you man. My favourite all time game is a text based multiplayer one called Akanbar, I'd recommend people to try it because it's free, the players drive the story and there's things possible in the text medium that just aren't in graphical games, but I don't expect other people to understand that.
PLAY JAZZPUNK, ITS PERFECT FOR YOU
no man, liking the story isnt enough to explain your hentai catalogue.
@@ohno7544 why would anyone have to explain their hentai catalogue though :o

So god damn happy
That was the best moment of my life
Was looking for this comment

First minute in the video: "Hmm, this sounds a lot like a gaming horoscope"
"Oh btw, I made it all up"
"Checks out"
I knew he was bullshitting when he said "people who like platformers tend to be critical of themselves" I lol'd
ikr i was like, hm i don't know this channel, but he seems to be doing the american bullshitter thingy, also called pandering, so many genres in such a few sentences, a cater to every need. I'm glad it was just for a short while though.
Every other american i meet wants me to buy a gun, an insurance plan, subscribe to a monthly something, a burguer or a prostitute. Kinda got me aware of marketing strategós
Yeah, I thought something was fishy when the description of the JRPG player was basically the average weeb stereotype lol.

One thing I'm sure of: people who play gacha games are masochists.

Except good ones like fire emblem heroes where it's so easy to get orbs that you never need to pay a single penny
ha hello nice to meet you 😏
battle cats gang
What if I like playing them for a few hours then never touch them again?
As an introvert I love playing single world games, multiplayer games are fun but I always get anxiety talking to people. A game that I really liked was sky I wasn't pressured to talk to someone as soon as I met them and felt the joy of hanging out with people that I didn't have to talk to.
Hahaha wtf

I definitely fall into both the mastery-achievement & immersion-creativity areas when I enjoy a game. I love a good challenge but also enjoy exploring everything for items & secrets while getting all the achievements for the game. It's why I play games like Bloodborne, Resident Evil games, Kingdom Hearts, Sherlock Holmes Chapter One, Legend of Zelda games, Outlast, Persona games, Shadow of Colossus, & Final Fantasy games as I like to immerse myself in the world of the game but I need that nice lvl challenge & investment in the characters to keep me motivated to keep playing. It's why I fall off playing sandbox games like Minecraft because unless I play with a friend I just end up bored since they're nothing to really challenging me nor characters to get attached too
When playing those types of games I just ask other players to give me quests basically. I like having objectives and goals too much for just free-form game play. I'd rather go grind for iron in minecraft for a few hours than try to build anything that isn't a castle every single time.
You should definitely play witcher 3
Play Baldurs Gate 3 or Dark Souls 1
Thank you for the recommendations. I've played the Witcher 3, Dark Soul's 1, and have pre-ordered baldur's gate 3
described me perfectly, love videogames like elden ring, dark souls, lies of p, hollow knight, devil my cry, usually hack and slash-souls. games with plenty of challenges and secret item and areas to discover, also I love games that are deeply involved with story but also have a good gameplay, thats why i like assassins creed, red dead redeptiom 2 but dont like those anime-story telling games wich you do nothing excepts walk and talk. I rather play terror games like outlast, layers of fear and observer and evil resident evil that are games that explores surrealism and invests in good atmosphere and plenty variaty of enemies and guns. When it comes to minecraft i fell the same felling, unless im playing with my friends and with interesing mods i dont feel stuck to it
3:08 IT HIT THE CORNNERRRR
I like how the clip ends right after that so my attention goes back to the video
Sooo satisfying
I can't believe it hit the corner
Not lawls. smh I can't believe it's not lawls.
Yep yep. That's what I was here for.
If you play league of legends you have, at one point, considered kicking a child
I have considered that before i even played league
But I haven’t played League Legends...
Oh wait !
at "one" point?
Hmm. I've never tried the game but it sounds like I might like it.
Lee Sin vs Annie
Senior in a behavioral science undergrad here, really excellent work! You are among the few who dodged and weaved around the MASSIVE pitfall traps in the field of personality, and address a lot of relevant factors that deserve real attention (such as the barnum effect in the intro)
I came here expecting a mess of pseudoscience (new to the channel) and I was blown away by how well this was made!
agreed, it really deserves the praise.
At 3:09 the DVD pause icon finally hit the corner, history has been made here.
There's a secret 4th category called: the "League Of Legends players"
And noone likes them.
Not even themselves
I can confirm
i can also confirm
Nobody hates League playerbase more than the playerbase itself.
Same aplies to Smash.
So like Star Wars fans?
"I need to win even if it hurts me"
-League players
TRUE !
Hahahahaha, this hurts! But I got to win. Spin to win, ftw!
Same goes for Overwatch
I'd say it's more like "I need to hurt myself and others around me", at least if we're talking soloq. Winning is only top priority at the highest elo.
every league player are hypocrites anyway so
Gamers' astrology
Haha he got us good
I think the best personality system to correlate with videogames is Attitudinal Psyche or Psychosophy (two systems that describe the same through slightly different perspectives). The reason for this is that these systems describe attitudes, motivations, strengths and weaknesses in different aspects of personality.
For example, my type is VFLE, which means Volition in first position (which basically means confident and stubborn desicion-making and control of will, Volition being the attitude towards desicions, planning and control of self and others), Physics in second position (basically means flexible, positive and open attitude towards the physical environment, physical experiences and manipulating this concepts), Logic in third position (basically means negative, distrustful and obsessed tendency towards logic, argumentation and knowledge), and lastly Emotion in fourth position (basically means indifferent, but flexible attitude towards processing emotions, socially communicating and empathy).
Considering all this attitudes, it's 100% understandable why Hitman is my favourite game, as it's a game that encourages Physical and Emotional flexibility to understand how to manipulate the environment (2F) and social connections (4E) to eleminate your target, while it rewards my tendency to planning controlled desicions (1V) and always needing to gather more information and forcing the logic of the game (3L).
Jesus get over yourself
Sounds like you'd love Disco Elysium
interesting! wdy think someone with LEFV would enjoy?

Love that opening and your nuanced and humbling thoughts throughout the vid! Thank you and I'm so glad the algorithm suggested this vid, you got a new subscriber
Beautiful breakdown of the correlation between personality and motivation. I am definitely in the immersion-creativity category and have a strong grasp of the titles and genres that suit my preference and ability to complete them. Nothing beats finishing a story against the backdrop of all the intricate details that the sidequests bring, making you feel truly fulfilled, knowing that nothing was left out because you did what was required of you AND what you intended to do.
"My back log is bigger than my future" ... I now know the words to describe that sensation, thanks
Same. So relatable.
That is a quote and a half and I'm using this to explain my 20+ games on switch that i haven't finished
It almost makes me wish Epic would stop giving me things. The backlog is well into the triple digits.
At this point i’ve just started calling it my video game collection because calling it a backlog would imply that I actually plan on finishing them someday lol
My new years resolution was to not play any other story games until i finish one, and then move on to the next. This has made me play and finish three JRPGs in three months (Persona 4, Crosscode, Xenoblade Chronicles 2) never going back to playing on a whim, i can't wait to start my next game that doesn't take 100-200 hours, since ill start clearing those muuuuuch faster than all the others

Me during that first section: These sound a lot like horoscopes.
Called Barnum Effect i guess 😅
Yeah you right but I actually believed it at first because, unlike horoscopes, the game is something you choose not the random month you were born
@@qb1361 True, they just sounded vague to me. One seemed like it almost contradicted itself.
@@qb1361 The point was his description fits nearly everybody who's watching, just like horoscopes. You can read any horoscope and slap yours on its name and it will fit you just as much as the one that's supposed to be yours. It's so vague that you can bundle up everyone and then just pass it off as accurate. Thats why you believed it and that's how they get ya.
@@MrKing-qd7gi Unironically thats kind of amazing, how they word it so theres actually people who believe in it.
Daryl! This was my first time watching a video from you and I LOVED it. Thank you for your time and effort putting this together. Despite being two years old, it remains incredibly helpful for me to learn more about myself. It helped me understand why I gravitate towards certain games, and less so to others. Like you said, this has been "delicious food for thought," and I love that. With that being said, I would like to share a little about my personal findings after watching.
For reference, I'm 26M.
- I am high in openness (Fantasy/Story & Design/Discovery). I do enjoy open worlds with the ability to create and customize. I equally enjoy heavy story based titles where I can immerse myself in different worlds and connect myself to the characters within them. Minecraft/Valheim/World of Warcraft & The Last of Us/Jak and Daxter/Rachet and Clank/Stardew Valley/Ori and the Blind Forest to name a handful. (In my personal life, I enjoy change and will reorganize my room with the seasons typically)
- I am high in conscientiousness (Mastery/Achievement). I see this category representing me most in the way I love to collect ALL collectables in games and go for all achievements in my favorite titles. I love all the Tomb Raider titles. Those games are a great example of titles that itch my desire for heavy story based titles, while also giving me tons of collectables and hidden items to search for. Additionally, those games have pretty decent customization, fulfilling yet another itch for creativity/design. The devs really captured a wide audience there. I also see myself in this category for the strategizing/planning aspect, with games like Age of Empires 2 and Bloons Tower Defense. I grew up with AoE2, so I see how I have a little bias in that direction as you mentioned, but still worth noting that I enjoy strategy games on occasion.
- I am about 50% extraverted. I've taken multiple personality tests and know myself well in this regard. I do enjoy competitive shooters like CSGO/Valorant/CoD/Battlefield, but can only deal with them in small doses and usually only play them when I'm partied up with people I know, though not ALWAYS.
There is probably much more that I could extract from this about myself, but these were the main points I was able to note about myself just from the first watch. Thank you again for your time
Dude great video. Your ending message was beautiful and really hit home with me. It’s great getting to know yourself and being comfortable who you are.
Me, who likes to play pretty much any genre: Oh.
Hey thats me too. I can't think of any genre that I don't like at all I just like good games and dislike bad games.
You maxed out all the stats lol
That also would fit into a certain personality.
@@user-du5hi1bd8t or spread out all stats and never mastered a skill tree
But surely you DO have a favorite genre?
What genre would you consider to give you the most fulfillment, or the most energy, etc...
Not saying it can't be multiple genres or titles. But surely you can't enjoy everything equally. If so, that's an amazing exception to a rule.
"...do you pay attention to detail..." being right after the captions misspelled sorta as "sotra" absolutely slayed me.
I- I didn’t even notice............. welp.
I too had the captions on but missed that misspelling. I have failed.
hey man, currently writing a paper on the effects of video games on the brain and using your channel as one of my primary sources, thank you for making information like this so accessible and easy to understand, really came in clutch with my assignment. please keep making good work
How'd you do?
How confident were you?
What an inspiring video. I love that idea of what one plays and how reflects one's personality.
To go even deeper, how one plays the same game differently goes into this as well:
1. One can be a builder in The Sims or playing a legacy challenge for example.
2. One can be a collector in Pokémon, building that illusive livingdex, or one can battle in competitions.
3. One can be a completionist in games like Skyrim, or one can be a pacifist, who only starts and finishes games according to their build.
About the age influencing gaming, I have read somewhere that older gamers who have been gaming since a younger age tend to go for more slow-paced games. There was a game where one's purpose was to follow a story on an island up a lighthouse. The narrator had a beautiful Brittish accent and was an older male. That was what seemingly all there was to it to that game, yet it delivered a unique experience. I don't remember the game's name though.
May I just point out the level of satisfaction and dopamine to my brain that hit when the stopped DVD logo hit the corner… truly an unprecedented feeling

@@DeceitfulRain same

This man delivered the goods :D
Thank you for this video and insight, this topic never crossed my mind but saw the title and piqued my interest to listen. As a part time researcher (in biology) and full time gamer, I find your presentation of the topic very well done.
I'm in my early 30s and I definitely feel that point about your interest narrowing with age. I find myself less "hyped" for things as the years go by, and less interested in really getting around to the backlog...it's just not that important anymore. But then a remake of a game from my childhood gets announced, and I rediscover I can feel hyped once again, but, y'know...about a thing I already know _I like._
Factsssss
The dvd logo hit the god damn corner perfectly 👌🏽😩 3:08

@@RatusMax Yup, the link between quiet people and JRPGs made sense but the next part not at all.
The nature vs nurture section makes a lot of sense to me! I did the test and learned that I lean more towards a social type of gamer, but I also grew up watching my dad play XCom, so even though they aren't always my best type of game, I'll always love playing stategy games!
Appreciate you for picking the DVD waiting screen that bounced in the corner, it’s my first video of yours and I expected you to tease us with something that will never happen

@@leegenny8712 Then... Did you really lose?
Introvert here. I definitely prefer single player games, but that doesn't mean I necessarily only like to play games alone. I grew up watching friends play single player games and having them watch me play them, and I've always found comfort in that. Whether we're watching each other play one game and commenting on it the whole way through, or just playing different games in the same room together, I see it as a cozy form of quality time.
Then you probably love the Batman games
@@blueshadowsoundeffects1559 Arkham Series is goated, also love me the Fromsoft lineup. Never liked the pvp in those tho
@@munkee_man seeing the phantom passed by, and the messages, it's feel so wholesome.
Im alone in this big world but not really. Idk its really feel weirdly good.
Me an my sister love playing hide and seek on roblox that's one of my favorite ways of bonding with her, since she's almost going to college
I like single player games because the divided screen on most multi player game sessions are hard for me to see. I also like how single player games are more immersive, but that maybe be the reason I prefer RPGs when I play console games. On my phone it's usually puzzles.
Wow, a really amazing video. It's very intriguing and very interesting topic indeed. And this video was really well organized. Honestly, congrats! 👏
Awesome video, incredible ending with the Hades shot! Vividly remember taking in that view myself and that resonated with me hard. HADES 2 HYPEEEEEEEEEE

I took the test and I got over 80% in both fantasy and story, and I loved what you said about the immersion-creativity type being more open because that’s exactly how I feel. I love games with stories but I also love to try new things like I’ve just started watching anime and I’m thinking of trying maybe a Pokémon game one day (although I got a LONG list of games to play first). The only games I really don’t like are ones where I have to do a ton of unnecessary tasks against my free will or I have to do a ton of strategy and not my own thing. This study is just so interesting and I’m glad you made this amazing video essay, keep doing what you’re doing 😊
hey bro! just wanted to say thanks for making an enjoyable and informative video. this video is actually an inspiration for a college project im currently doing! i watched this a while back but remembered this video so im doing research on this very topic. its not a very complicated project, just a presentation, but i still wanted to give my thanks. pretty cool video bro keep it up!
I love how cautiously you approached this topic. Personalities are so difficult to pin down and its easy to accidentally try to fit yourself into the box that you think is the best. Delicious food for thought indeed.
"It's easy to accidentally try to fit yourself into the box that you think is the best" - for me, this is true even without things like personality typology and psychometric instruments. They say to 'live in the present', but sometimes it's all too easy to forget. Labels are supposed to be descriptive, not prescriptive, but even so...
"Not the most solid field in psych" is every field in psych.
True, except for maybe biology
Some more than others :) cognitive is way more solid than behavioral.
except for body language. I can read body language fairly well. Years of customer relations work getting them to spend more on this or that has made it easier to identify various traits people have when they are on the fence about something and need a little push, or are set one way or another. Remember 85% of your communication is body language. While it isn't an exact science, it will help you capture hearts and minds..
@@dafien530 true. a family member of mine used to use body language deduction in his work for decades. I also learned business communication, much of which was decoding the body language of our co-workers and competitors.
@@BenefitCounterbench yep! If you have kids you can practice with them at an early age. Their body language is how they speak before they can speak. My nephew will be two in June uses words and hand gestures to communicate. He knows his numbers by fingers and can recognize the primary and secondary colors.. I call that boy a Nephilim. He was just measured today 28lbs and 3 ft tall not even 2 yet but you can read him well...
This is actually one of the best videos ever.
I spent watching it double the amount of video duration so I can fully understand it. It really made me look at my personality understand it more and just accept it without being ashamed of my preferences and what kind of games I like. It kinda enlighted me of what kind of games may suit me and gave me more confidence in playing the game I like even if not so many people play them.
Thanks for the video! great video!
Brilliant video - research, editing, commentary!
I really appreciated that the DVD logo hit the corner, then I realized I wasn't listening at all and had to rewind
It's part of his evil plot to get more watch time to boost his algorithm clicks 😈
At first I thought he was gonna bring up the DVD logo
I paused the video and looked for this comment as soon as felt the same thing.
I’m so happy that you included the portion of the DVD screensaver that hit the corner perfectly. So satisfying.
I looked at it frame by frame and i think its perfect
Just saw it and I think it's the best part of this video
I love how you end the DVD logo right as it hits the corner, beautiful.
Incredibly fascinating stuff. Especially when you touched on music and TV connections
In addition to the types of games we play (genres), I wonder how personality affects our actual playstyles in these games. For instance, why do some players play agro/balanced/turtle in strategy games? Or tactics vs theory in chess? Why do I knowingly main unviable characters in ssbm like ganondorf whereas my friend just plays the best character fox? Why is there a stereotype that girls only play support role in moba? What dictates a players preference to tank, dps, mage, ranged/melee? What compels my friend to build a treehouse in minecraft whereas my other friend is content with a dirt hole?
Did you ever find out if personality affects playstyle?
I'm an avid chess player so I've been trying to figure out the types of playstyles, although I feel like they would apply to a lot of games:
Tactical vs Positional: Do you prefer intense calculations or relying more on intuition?
Calm vs Chaotic: Do you prefer to play calmly and focus on your own plans, or provocatively with the intent of tricking your opponent?
That's about all I've come up with so far.
Play against sore losers, so i usually try to beat them in style , or give them bit of chance for dramatic effect, if i do win they dont get too angry, but get amazed instead lol.
Bro best character is puff get with the meta scrub.
Don't know for others but destroying people with low winrate or unviable characters is giving me such an ego boost.
why are we human?

Real Banger of a Video. As a person who hits (is in) the Creative and Strategy categories hard... I'm not surprised that these sorts of videos mesh with me.
Awesome video. Thank you for taking the time to make such high quality content
As an introvert, I love to experience and explore different worlds all by myself, and I also love well-written stories. I love the immersion.
But I also overlap a little into the Mastery archetype, because I really love challenging games as long as the world is interesting. Dark Souls is incredible for this.
it's the exact same for me, I could've written this comment.. May the flames guide thee, dear personality friend
@@HeiroftheAbyss Praise the Sun! \[T]/
Haha same
If you love challenging and punishing games you should try the Shin Megami Tensei series out since it's infamous for it's difficulty for jrpg standards
@@instantramen4588
I actually have been thinking of trying out Shin Megami Tensei, but I've never been able to get into any JRPG except Pokémon and Final Fantasy 6. I've also heard Persona is a spinoff of SMT.
Great advice 17:56 👍 “Get to know yourself, take the time to learn who you are, pay attention to what makes you smile and don’t be ashamed of it.”
then i can make my market list out of geneca convention🥰🥳
I mean unless it’s something messed up then you need mental help or Jesus.
Unless stuff that makes you smile is something messed up like kicking puppies or not flushing the toilet in a public restroom then GET HELP YOU MONSTER!!!
Why did this make me tear up?

You have gained an immediate sub because of the first lines (and I hadnt even finished watching the video) and I am absolutely glad I watched your video.... Kudos broooooo :D :D :D
I am SO glad you made that screensaver hit the corner
In my older age, I've come to prefer games where your character is mostly undefined. You define them with your choices and a good old character creator. By the way, nice to meet you. You showed up in my feed for the first time today and I like your stuff.
You might like Valheim then.
Same, it bothers me when the character I'm playing has a set personality and/or looks.
One of the things I hate the most is when your character is a heroic kind do-gooder and you can't just be an insensitive jerk. Let me be an asshole damn it!
@nasolem literally the biggest thing that bothered me when I was first getting into the Witcher
@nasolem It's an acquired taste (the voice), iconic, but really recommend playing the witcher 3 and it's DLCs all the way through, you will get attached to Geralt and the others... gets very good as it goes on past a point. With good stories in it through. Hope you give it a go! There is a reason for the reviews!
@looksnotperfect L.N.P. I think people like blank slates, like Masterchief in Halo 1, 2, and 3. Every drop of info or personality was great because there wasn't much. Also anyone can connect and relate to him. It's why later Halo games weren't as liked. (Halo 4). Because 343 Industries went into character development and messages and stuff. Wasn't fun.

I have the same problem with youtube and its recommendations. My feed is an unholy conglomeration of metal, vtubers, shitposts and documentaries, and a lot more.
@@bonogiamboni4830 I think if you remove the videos that you don't like from your recommendations you get less of those. I've been doing that so much that my recommended tab is barely new
@@elliotwintersdemanagabei9437 no, the issue is that those are all things i want to watch.
I just felt my body go into euphoria when that DVD logo fit that corner perfectly...
Ah what an euphoric view
When that happened, I came all over my cubicle. I’m now being fired and escorted out by security.
What’s euphoria?
I believe you think you saw it.
I came
What an awesome video, thanks a lot. I'm an introvert through and through and have always preferred RPGs and such (but not so much sandbox games), but have also really liked the quality time of playing local multiplayer games with my friends. When it comes to online multiplayer, tho, I shudder at the mere thought.
Thanks for displaying Astral Chain on the "slide show" during the video, I swear nobody has even heard of that game but I frickin love it!
I just got too excited over the DVD video logo perfectly hitting the corner of the screen at 3:08. That brings me back haha
2 minutes in and I already have a huge appreciation for the fact that you pointed out the Barnum Effect. I think personality tests can be a decent way to get general view of a person, but humans are far more complex than any test can demonstrate.
The start of this was like horoscopes where I was like, "How can all of those explain me at the same time. This is bullshit."
Daryl: "This is bullshit."
Me: "Yea, that explains it."
This was a fun watch. Definitely fit into the strategy mindset, though it is nice to take a break every so often with a competitive game or a chill game.
3:08 I know you made sure to put the perfect corner in there and I appreciate it lol
Oh man, I really liked your thoughts at the ending a lot! Especially the quote "get to know yourself" instead of "just be yourself" which is easier said than done. Oh and I can really relate to your Persona 5 (Royal) Clips xD
So glad you liked that! Honestly once I kinda had that shift in perspective a few years back, it was like a weight was lifted. Suddenly life was less about fitting a mold and more about making a big beautiful mess 😅

Nice! I'll maybe consider joining
This is the line that really sold me on this video. It's only felt more true as I get older and meet people from all over the range on that spectrum of self-awareness.
As an introvert, I really enjoy chill social games, like Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon, to make up for my lack of friends and social interactions.
Is harvest moon any good? I played stardew valley and had a blast, but i know it was heavily inspired by harvest moon
@@Yellowredstone They used to be really good. As you said, they inspired SV..but I think up to the Game Cube. After that there were a lot of issues with publishing rights so now Harvest Moon(by a different developer) sucks..Story of Seasons is the new name they are publishing the games as.
Rune Factory is basically HM rpg and they are pretty fun if you like more action as well.
@@ZeroZmm I love Rune Factory. I'm really hyped for 5 to come out on the Switch.
idk. im more of a super introvert so I'm really in touch with my creative & abstract side that craves fantasy and imaginative settings
@@seadawn8559 I didn't say I prefer social games. I just like them for that reason.
I prefer fantasy or artsy games myself, like Zelda or Journey.
As a psychologist/ therapist and gamer, I really love this video. Very nuanced, Big 5 mention (love it), and I wasnt aware of the gamer motivation questionare. What a guy that dr Yee! I can see Extraversion/ Introversion, openness and contietiousness as factors in what types of games people gravitate to. As I kid I olayed more genres that I do now. Dont have a lot of time now as well. Love Zelda BotW and TotK, but the exploring takes so much time. Really fell in love with the more linear Story driven games like God of war and the recent FF16. Story is my main motivation and mastery as a good second place.
I love u man! Thanks for ur work!! Im really exited!
Did you just... make a DVD screen saver bounce right in the corner???

My name is connor, I like kiwis and I don't floss my teeth. Clearly this means Daryl is an esper, and i should start a religion around him.
Floss your teeth bruh
Get help. Dental is more important than religion.

Seriously floss man, it’ll save you so much money and stress
@@DarylTalksGames how can you floss tour teeth if you don't have any teeth?
Fantastic video! Also somewhat eye-opening for me even though I've been gaming for 26 years now. Thanks, earned a sub :)
Bless you for making the logo hit the corner, I was overjoyed.
Me who plays several different genres: I now diagnose myself multiple personalities
That’s how we are though, a bunch of sub-personalities
ikr same, i think maybe my openness to play multiple genres could be at play here.
not exactly, more like different states of mood. although having DID and being a gamer is always interesting.... and expensive;;
imagine sybil’s game titles interest covers all from nintendo era to today.
I feel the same way and so does me
for those of you genuinely worrying about having multiple "personalities" after this, don't worry!! most people have many different interests depending on different moods and different stimuli. i promise it's very normal and there is no reason to panic!~
It would actually be multiple states of mood, not multiple personalities.
As personality is intrinsic and hardcoded to us, it's something that doesn't change over time, it only matures.
@@victuz i replied to someone a little further down saying the exact same thing that it’s not multiple personalities so much as different states of mood!!!
i have DID so i know the difference well but i think a lot of people don’t realise the difference between mood states and personalities!
Who would think that?
why would anyone panic over this
The voices in my head say otherwise
Great video that sparked a lot of internal thought! Liked and subbed. :D
I love this video, it's psychological research, at the same time, human. There are so many factors that influence so many things, which I feel is why ultimately, it's hard to ever say hard yes or hard no to anything at all. But this wraps everything up so nicely
As someone with a psychology degree, I saw the title and was so ready to dunk on this entire video, but you’ve handled the topic very well. Most personality inventories are pseudoscientific bunk, but the Big Five stands head and shoulders above the rest.
Awesome work.
Huh. That kinda explains why most personality tests piss me off because I keep getting the same result and it never actually explains who I am as a person, even remotely. In a sense, they give me insight into me based on how consistently wrong they are.
People are always repeating this notion they heard that the Big Five is superior, but its consistency comes from the fact that it is so generalized. It night be the best way we have of measuring trends, but the depths of Jung's cognitive science reveal far more about the mind.
@Kelvin Higgs
This sentence is so wrong in so many ways 😂
What do you think of Myers Briggs?
I’m curious to know your opinion on Myers-Briggs
"My backlog is bigger than my future."
That's my life in a sentence
Probably for most of us.
I blame it on the Steam sales and great games under $5.00!!
I did the math and discovered that if I wanted to play every game in my backlog to completion, and by that I mean just seeing the end credits, not necessarily 100% it, it would require more hours than I have reasonable life expectancy. Coming to grips with this, getting over my FOMO, and realizing that I cannot play everything was a big step for me. I'm much less stressed about it these days.
i feel called out
That's my life... sentence
Thank you for the informative content, and the study information. Accounting for age, mental development, and personal experience was a good point. I am curious to see how data will play out with living games and player retention.
That beginning part got me so good I have to sub
Introversion is about where you pull your energy from, for example I love going to the mall for 5-6 hours with my family every Black Friday but I usually have to stay in my room watching TH-cam for several hours till I can do anything else. Edit: thanks for the likes
Woah! Coming across someone that actually understands what introversion is? I'm so dang tired of everyone equating introversion to antisocialness, especially those more extreme stories
Yes! I like having meaningful long conversations with people I click with but I really need some time to rest (all by myself) after that. I wish more people understood introversion properly.
Yeah, I love going out and being around people more than being alone, but the more I do it the more I feel burnt out, and end up having to spend more time alone bc of that... Might be my anxiety disorder though lol
In the context of personality psych, introversion is seen more as having a low score in extraversion. Extraversion being defined by socialibilty, assertiveness, reward-seeking behavior, and being highly energetic.
@@StrongDizzle also important to note that extroverted doesn't necessarily mean that you're good at talking to people and being introverted doesn't necessarily make you socially inept.

The unexpectedly satisfying things in life. aahhhh
Grinding for a flashy sword is literally the same thing as studying 6 hours a day for a degree
Thaty why i don't grind
except a degree ain't a flashy sword (I like the flashy sword better and it currently has more utility) x3 but I get what you mean
Except you are grinding for the sword 100% because YOU want to, whereas for the degree, even if it's something you enjoy, you often have tons of pressure from parents and society at large to not fail. Also, you can fail a degree.
@@Orynae The game is made to make you grind. The sword is just a trinket you'll stop using once you stop playing. School makes you grind to get a degree so you can continue your life purpose of being one of the millions of cogs that make the mindless, herd mentality, society which also happen to make the economy stay afloat. They're both shit options
@@c.b.5104 yes, that's true. But my point is that you can just opt out of the game's grind if you feel like it. Not so much with school D:
Like your video on Dark Souls, I keep coming back to fighting games because I want to prove to myself that I am capable of competing in highly difficult games with a higher than average skill ceiling, to prove to myself that I have potential, and I can realize that potential if I keep pushing just a little harder than last time.
