So what are some of your favorite games that you've played recently? You and I kind of had a little conversation over email, and I'm not going to lie, I kind of nerded out with you over some of your favorite games. But for our listeners, what are some of your favorites?
Do you have a favorite character in Rivals?
Yeah, I was a tank player in Overwatch, and I just can't do it in Rivals for some reason.
I never played Path of Exile at all, ever. I was familiar with it, but I was always a Diablo guy. Ryan is still a Diablo guy. Ryan, I just would like to point out the fact that there's another person that loves Path of Exile, too.
And then, uh, you did mention Elden Ring in there as well, right?
Oh, the mod is great. Yeah.
Yes, absolutely. Uh, are you Elden Lord?
Okay, well, you beat it. The insanity one. Yeah, that's impressive in my book. So, awesome. And then it's funny because you did mention kind of a gamer blind spot to us when we were chatting. And it's one of those things that kind of made me realize that that's something I think that we all have.
And a lot of people in our community, especially some of the older gamers that we have, we hear this a lot where it's like, I used to love gaming. Then life kind of happened. I had kids. I had a family or a job or whatever. And now I'm back into it. And they kind of have this blind spot there. I know for myself, EverQuest, way back in the day, was my big blind spot. I got...
too far into EverQuest and played that game for years and years and years to the exclusion of all of the video games. Ryan, it was Destiny 2 for you?
Yeah. And then Jamie, you mentioned that you kind of have one where you, you feel like you missed a little gap in, in gaming for a little bit.
Yeah. But you like a challenge in games. Is that, I mean, with Elden Ring and Dark Souls and some of those, because we always talk about like, we call it Nintendo hard, like a Nintendo games. They were Nintendo hard games because they were really difficult. I mean, you know, these are some of the things that we grew up on and you kind of had no choice.
You either just, you know, banged your head against this game 50 times because you had three lives to beat the whole thing or, you know, that was it. And I kind of credit a little bit of that like me liking difficult games and a challenge and that sort of thing to those days. But you, is it fair to say that you like challenging games?
Yeah. So, you know, here's a good question for you, Jamie, is, you know, with being a lifelong gamer, you know, and getting into psychology, like, how did you get into psychology and what made you want to focus on gaming with it?
I worked for a major, I worked for progressive insurance for 16 years. So I am a little bit familiar with some of that mindset. We took personality tests and to even get employed, you have to pass a personality test and kind of, you know, they decide what type person you are and whether they think you'll be, you know, good for the company and stuff like that.
So I think that touches on some of that. Maybe it does. Yeah.
So in mixing the two, I have to ask this cause it's just, my brain is, I'm very curious, but in mixing these two, did that lead to kind of any like fun, like self revelations as a gamer or,
I think we kind of figure that out naturally as gamers. I do not like sim games. Stardew Valley is a beloved game by almost everybody in the world. And to me, it's the most mind-numbing game. The Sims, for instance, to me is it's like, why do I want to play a game that's like life when I'm living life? This is just work for me.
So it's one of those things where it's like, I think people kind of naturally figure out like what they kind of gravitate towards, but it's really neat to kind of know that there is a deeper kind of understanding and basis behind that. You know, what we think is just, Oh, I just don't like this kind of game.
You know, but there's probably something there that is a reason why you don't like that kind of game.
