When seeing videos like this, I think about how fans of video games with so called deep philosophical stories and ideas would be better off reading actual philosophy, or at least philosophical novels, as they would likely enjoy it a lot more and would learn at least 100 times more than what these said video games would have to offer, how would someone go about recommending these fans some important works without them ignoring you or being absolutely filtered?

>philosophical video games
Show some examples of these games, I'm curious what those manchildren call philosophy.

They only care about the reward the brain gives them after pressing a button and seeing flashy lights popping on the screen.

The first thing you have to do is separate the ones who are actually interested in philosophy from the ones who are permanently stuck in their limited station and just enjoying the opportunity to self-suck and pat themselves on the back. Not every person who listens with interest to a midwit retard telling him how his favorite children's cartoon is "actually very philosophical" is listening because he has the spark of philosophical eros actually active in him and is surprised and pleased to find it in a domain he was already comfortable in and tired of, like a bridge leading out of it and onto something greater. Most are big stupid pigs looking to be told that the filth they are already masters of sucking down from the trough is "philosophical," ergo they are philosophical and not filth eating pigs.

You need to sift for the gems by creating a method of sifting that takes into account that the gems always already want to be sifted, even if they don't know it yet. They are already capable of spontaneous movement. The key isn't to make the pig pen better, it's to make it unmistakeable to those who aren't pigs but who have never known any reality but "you're a pig" to see beyond the pen and know they can leave any time they want.

> Yeah I totally resolved the problem of phenomenological closure last night when playing Among Us!
Lord give me the strength to endure this world, and do your will while I suffer through it.

The greatest philosophical game is pic related.

Actual philosophy is just obfuscated thought experiments that any retard could understand if it wasn't presented through an unnecessary layer of complexity and reference.

Both video games and philosophy are worthless means of escapism for weak losers. The difference is that video games are inarguably more fun.

Philosophy isn’t escapism, it’s more cope than anything, and that’s only stoicism, that’s more retarded than saying the fucking bible is escapism

He doesn't know the immeasurable pleasure of entertaining for the first time the apodictic presence of your transcendental Ego.
