Message: [QUOTE="miguk, post: 44696, member: 1510"] [LIST] [*]Hand-eye coordination — Didn't like sports enough to join a team (I played them causally, but didn't feel comfortable around the jocks at school or even the gym teachers), and didn't want to do shop-style stuff (woodworking, metalworking, etc). Games were a safer way of improving that. [*]Money management — RPGs give a simple way of learning the basics. [*]Efficiency and diminishing returns — Again, RPGs' leveling systems get that idea across. [*]日本語 — Games and anime aren't the best way to learn it (still haven't found a day-to-day use of お前はもう死んでいる), but it does get you interested enough to learn more outside of entertainment. [*]World mythology — Thank you RPG devs for not just making me fight angry squirrels all the time. [*]Computers — They made more sense when I knew some basic concepts from game consoles already. [*]Rom Hacking — Those uncensored patches aren't going to install themselves. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
