Hey @everyone ! the new shorts channel is up and running. If you could subscribe there as well that would help me out a lot! @J.BongoShorts" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@J.BongoShorts It's pretty empty right now, but all future shorts will be uploaded there, and the current shorts library on my main channel will slowly be moved over.

haha, so does everyone else here. Hence this conversation. You are saying that every time you play with something, you are engaging in a game. But that's not always the case. I can say I was playing with a coin in my pocket, and everyone understands I'm not playing a game with the coin. I'm not suspending any disbelief to engage in any rules, I'm not competing with anyone, I'm not going to say I won or completed or failed at anything. Yes you play games, but not all play means you are engaging with a game. There are no rules kids engage with on a swing set, but they still play on it

@tabbrieishere yes, if you engage with building blocks in a real or virtual setting that is play, but not necessarily a game. Just because you enter a virtual environment, doesn't mean you are playing a game.

so minecraft isn’t a game? it has no set goal that u have to do and yet it is very clearly a game
J. Bongo@JBongoGamer

@RinoTheBouncer Games need to have a goal, and rules that function as resistance/difficulty. Otherwise it isn't a game

@Deadlydill Yes. As someone who grew up in the charismatic movement and witnessed first hand the leadership abuses and abused of "charismania" type worship, I still think emotion has a place. But one must not mistake an emotional experience with a "divine" experience

Christians, It’s okay to have emotional responses in worship and the reading of the word. That doesn’t = you are controlled by your emotions

@Kirito02016 @RinoTheBouncer yes but not everything you control with a tv controller is a game. Would you argue turning on your tv by hitting the power button is a game? Why?

@JBongoGamer @RinoTheBouncer Because it's a controller for whatever game it's controlling. You can argue it's not much of a game, but it is a game. I'm not being sarcastic. The definition for "game" is broad Also, there are definitely things you control with a tv controller that you would agree are games

Have you tried out Dusk (the unofficial PC port for Twilight Princess) yet? If so what are your thoughts?

@Celer23 @RinoTheBouncer yes I believe that's right. It would be like me playing with Legos just in a digital space. Just becaue you go into a virtual space, doesn't mean you are playing a game.

@JBongoGamer @MugenLord Assuming the conversion rate for space bucks is like USD, 74k for saving the galaxy seems like a bargain.

The reason I loved Star Fox growing up, since the SNES. It was the fact that Star Fox and his team handled shit. There's an entire war going on, and all you had to do was call them, and the 4 got it done.
