@Anti-Matter I sort of get were you are coming from. I just see mature rated video games as escapism as well. Doom and Resident Evil are prime examples of that. If you don’t see that material as satisfying, then that’s all fine and good, but I don’t see much of a difference between taking down a room of zombies and Mario jumping on a bunch of goobas heads. If you are well-adjusted then I can’t see much harm in the former. Does it actually have a different effect psychologically? Perhaps it does. But from my point of view they just present players with two different types of “toy boxes” (both childlike in that way) and ask the player to complete objectives.
Beyond that, I think you’ve conflated the idea of maturity with things that are not actually mature. It’s not a rating on a box, but the deeper sense of reflecting on ones past and future in a way that you wouldn’t do as a child. You also don’t like the same things you liked when you were more naive or “immature”. I’d bet that. So I’d argue we are all mature to a degree and that’s something that’s just an inevitability. It’s not something to be scared of or run away from.
Cheers man and Happy 2020. That’s soon in Indonesia now.
Happy New year's guys and gals. Hope everyone stays safe and has fun. Enjoy time with friends and family, and make some memories. Make the drinks flow, and friendships grow!
@Heavyarms55 am I finally able to break the world record speed run for SMB1 in 2020?
@Toy_Link also don't copy anything I say without emailing me first otherwise I'll have no choice but to sue you for slander. Have a day
And yes I am quoting the comment just to see if he/she will threaten me again. I don’t consider anything in my original comment slander, I only used the quotes for context purposes to disagree with OP’s opinion on accessibility in games.
@Toy_Link I told that person that it is not illegal to quote on a public forum. Also people seems to think that taking a photo or filming them in public space without consent is illegal.
@Toy_Link How is it slander if that is what they said?

Also I have to degree with LoveTosue @Zuljaras, you have a great profile picture. Makes me long for a Symphony of the Night rerelease on Switch.
@Ryu_Niiyama
No idea, maybe they thought that suing me for slander would scare me? Is the definition of slander, very broad in the UK? I don't know and it really doesn't matter as even if he/she found some way to sue me, it wouldn't be worth it.
Theres been another lovely person in the switch being the most fragile product in France article. Seems like they created an account just to stir trouble
So, I'm on my phone, so I'll just post a quick message. Happy New Year, one and all. Take care with fireworks if you got any, don't overdo the drinks and foods (too much), and enjoy the time you spend with your family and/or friends.
See you all on the other side of 2019... 😉
