Assignment #3

My response to my game reveals that I can get frustrated or upset at times, but as long as I am in control of my situation, then I am ultimately fine. In Stardew Valley, I am calm and at peace most of the time. That is because I don't really have outside forces coming after me, I am in still in control of how I succeed in the game. I think both games that I played tell a lot about myself as a person. When I was playing Red Dead Redepmtion II, I was stressed because I needed to fend off so many things just to survive. In Stardew, I am merely worried about myself and doing what I can to improve my welfare on the farm and in the community. I think my experience also reveals a lot about my video gaming habits in general. I've never really been one to play violent or "thrilling" games, and that's because I don't like that kind of stuff in general. While I normally play only sports games, I feel like Stardew represents the type of game that I can handle. I've found that games like Fortnite and Red Dead Redemption II really do me in because I don't have the temperment or the skills to handle them properly. Games that are more laid back like Stardew and sports games definitely fit me as a person more. My game and my response to its challenges definitely reveal a lot about me because I like to be peaceful and calm as much as possible, and my game fits me much better then violent games.

(I love these tranquil settings that aren't present in violent games)
