I was in a local coffee shop recently talking to one of my coworkers about the new books coming out with brett favre. She was talking about some of the new titles, and asked the question, “What do you think of brett favre?” I was shocked when she said that I thought of him as a father figure. I could feel my blood boil a bit.
She was probably just being polite because he has a lot of good people following him on twitter.
I always try to get a bit of a “dad” feeling when I meet new authors, as I feel a bit of the way that I feel when I meet my dad. But it wasn’t just that, it was more that she was really excited to meet him.
She’s a bit of a cool character as well, because if you ask her about what she likes to do, she’ll give some off-the-wall answers that sound like they made up themselves or came from a dream. But a lot of it stems from her enthusiasm. She loves games and is actually a huge fan of the genre. She also has a few strange quirks, but she does like to do some weird things.
This is one of those weird things. She is also quite introverted, and I really like that about her. I think it comes from coming from a family of musicians and she has always been an avid user of music and video games.
As it turns out, she’s also been playing video games for a long time. I don’t know if that’s her first time playing a video game, but in fact it’s been her second. She’s also been using a lot of the same moves as a pro gamer, so she’s already got a pretty sharp gaming mind.
I think the most likely explanation for her past is that she was a gamer and gamer-related trauma is what led her to video games. That would be why she so clearly has a keen gaming mind, because gaming tends to be a lot more immersive than most other activities. If she was a gamer, she would be able to keep her mind occupied and distracted by playing games, so that she could keep track of her past, and not feel so attached to what she was doing.
There are other possible explanations, of course. One of the reasons gamer trauma seems to be associated with traumatic brain injury is that gaming is immersive and immersive activities tend to be more traumatic than non-immersive activities. But as far as I know, gaming is not typically immersive. It’s very much a solitary activity, and one that I find very solitary.
I think the word “solitary” is a bit extreme but I believe there is an association between gaming and brain injury. I think it may be a combination of games being solitary, but also more exposure to other people’s lives over the years, which may have led to a sort of isolation.
So in today’s world, gaming has become a way for gamers to interact with other gamers and to get a little social. However, there is some evidence that gaming can lead to brain injury. The problem is that we can’t really be sure that a game is safe and that it won’t lead to brain damage. It’s very important to keep our kids away from gaming as much as possible (and keep them away from games that are too violent).
