Since tournaments are now predominantly online, we rarely get to see scenes where people react together in the same space. Back in the day, tournaments like WCG and ESWC were the source of many such memories—perhaps some of you even participated in them. There was a Korean StarCraft player named SlayerS_BoxeR; he was practically worshipped in Korea, and his every moment was captured on record.

İts been so long since ı post the original post.9 months ago ı was in a flea market and came accross a mysterious video game CD...But ı didnt buy it so ı take a photo of it so ı can look about it in the internet when ı come back Home.But When I come back home I find out that it was actually a Lost Media so I search For hours and cannot find anything about it.The only way to find that Lost game is seems like ti find a original copy of it but it was too difficult (impossible)for me.So I search for months and finally yesterday I'm able to find a copy of that same game.But there's a problem. I cannot open this game on my PC for some reasone and I wonder what this game look like.So I will archive this game For you guys in İnternet Archive.Can somebody record a gameplay footage of this game when I archived it and post it on Lost Media forums and Youtube...

Thanks

Discussion / Question Playing co-op with a non gamer is such a good lesson in patience, we take so much knowledge for granted

Post image
1.2k Upvotes

I tried to get my gf to play something with me a few times but she never wanted to until she ran into some girls on TikTok talking about It Takes Two and other co-op games hahaha. She has never been a gamer in any sense of the word, so ofc I jumped at the opportunity when she showed some interest and got the games set up for us.

Playing Split Fiction now (we finished It Takes Two) and we already have a few games she wants us to play next lined up. Water Me & You when it comes out, a similar co-op adventure game she found on TikTok which looks pretty good, it also has a bit of base building from what I’ve seen which sounds cool. And she really wanted us to play Orbitals but that will have to wait, we don’t have a switch 2 yet and it's an exclusive.

When she was starting out, she struggled with the basics, which I expected, moving around with a controller is not intuitive to someone who hasn't used one before. The struggle for me was keeping my mouth shut. Every time she missed a jump I would have to stop myself from telling her how she should have done it, because she only wanted me to help when she asked. I could tell it was frustrating for her when I would just tell her what to do, and it was frustrating for me to watch her struggle with something that looks so simple to me and not being able to help.

I realized it was just my decades of gaming experience, I was so used to the tricks developers used that I could pretty much instantly understand what we needed to do. You don’t realize how much ingrained gaming knowledge you have until you experience something like this. Literally NOTHING is obvious to a non gamer, you know how people joke about the yellow paint in modern games, well for her she wouldn’t even follow obvious cues like that, cuz she wasn’t used to them.

But I learned to keep my mouth shut and let her try as much as she wanted to before she asked for help, it took some willpower but it was so worth it, cuz now she is slowly turning into a bit of a gamer and I am overjoyed.
