Minimizing stress is healthier, therefore you shouldn't want to play competitive games. Games like flower and others like it actually reduce stress and are certainly a much better option.
Only if chronic stress is an issue for you. It isn't for everybody.
Minimizing stress is beneficial to everyone, not just for people who deal with chronic stress.

That competitive gaming is harmful to your overall health and shouldn't be counted as a positive.
Physical sports pile on the possibility for physical injury on top of stress.
Video games don't.
Stress can definitely cause physical injury.

Also that you feel competition is a negative unless it pertains to something you're arguing for.
Nope.
Competition is a negative.
Having a safe outlet to satiate one's thirst for competition in a relatively harmless way isn't. This isn't complicated.
Shouldn't we be challenging our animalistic urges, or am I just more intelligent than you?

Stress is harmful and unavoidable. If it's both of these things, then there's no point in bringing it up.
You would have a point if stress was EXCLUSIVE to playing competitive video games, which it obviously isn't. If competitive video games don't stress you out, then something else will. Thereby making competitive video games FUCKING harmless when you control for factors that cannot be changed.

So games that you can spam combos lack depth, got it.
no
games that offer no incentive to do anything else but spam combos lack depth, other than "c'mon it's FUN!!!!" which isn't an incentive at all unless you think of games as stupid entertainment instead of art
What's wrong with entertainment?
we have enough of it
pure entertainment is piss-useless, and it's probably toxic for the brain
it's better to inject it with something that can actually be used in life, and HnS games have always been notoriously bad at that
What do you use in life that you gleaned from Street fighter?
patience, discipline
determination
problem solving
how to take a loss
practicing combos helps with memory, dexterity, creativity, and critical thinking
the game also has a strong social aspect, feeds my thirst for competition, and gives me something to strive to get better at
Competition is wrong tho
not when it's over video games (generally)
humans are competitive by nature, so better to concentrate that energy into something harmless than something harmful, like physical sports
The stress from competitive video games is anything but harmless.
not if you're mentally stable
Stress affects everyone, not just the mentally unstable.
So it's unavoidable, therefore there's literally no reason to allocate it to something harmless like video games.
You're reaching pretty hard for this.
Stress affects everyone but not all stress is the same.
Stress is caused by stimuli and the stimuli vary, as does the amount of stress caused by each stimuli.
If competitive video games causes stress (as I'm sure it does) it's avoidable by simply doing something else.
Which would be stupid if you know how to handle that stress and playing the games give you more value than stopping. If the stress is too much for whatever reason, then competitive games aren't for you.
I'm failing to see your point.
Handling stress isn't the same as not experiencing it. Stress is harmful no matter how you slice it.
What is your point?
That competitive gaming is harmful to your overall health and shouldn't be counted as a positive.

Man these soundcloud rapper junkies are so weird
Is soundcloud rapper a thing?
Ya it's basically a sub-genre of trap that's become a mutated cancerous genre in and of itself. They might delineate slightly or dip their toes into other genres but they pretty much all rap about the same shit, like popping Xans, feeling sad and being 'aesthetically edgy'.
XXXTentacion is like the prime example. Listen to him once and you never need to hear another artist again because he basically encapsulates the entire """genre"".
X is sick
Literally EVERYTHING XXXTentacion makes is meme-tier.
he's creatively honest and that's all that matters
Bjork is creatively honest.

aside from social competition, which is debatable, yeah, pretty much
Speed runs drive that competitive urge.
it's also a completely different way to play the game, certainly not intended

Devil may cry, when played "correctly", functions as a fighting game. There are combos that are more effective on certain enemies, critical thinking and fast reflects are key to chaining combos.
It can be made easy by changing the difficulty and leveling up, but you aren't forced to make these changes. I honestly wouldn't consider it hack and slash like I would dynasty niggas.
Different enemy types have wildly different attributes and movesets. On harder difficulties it's a necessity to learn different combos and how to juggle enemies.
The competitive side is really the only thing that's a stretch and you have to play with different handicaps (not leveling up/time restraints).
I'm honestly surprised you're not a fan of the series because of your love of Street fighter.

Why has the United States congress not passed legislation banning the production and sale of Garlic Salt and enforcing the use of the far superior Garlic Powder?
I thought I was the only motherfucker that cared about this
Wasn't aware garlic salt was a thing. Why are people dumbed

You can't tho? Games like DMC often require certain combos to be performed to progress.
so you do the minimum of what's required
wow deep game
DMC has an actual story

Fighting games only have depth in combat. The only place where depth matters (the main purpose of the game).
Hack and slash games only have depth in combat.
Nope, not when you can mash and win.

I believe you're confusing difficulty with depth. Also, in what game are you instantly punished for spamming a shit combo? Literally any well-designed game.
Also, just because the fighting mechanics in games like DMC and Bayonetta have depth doesn't mean the game itself has depth. that's what i've been saying this entire time
they lack depth in every facet that actually matters
Fighting games don't have depth.
Fighting games have more depth than any other game genre. It is Depth: The Genre.
Fighting games only have depth in combat. Hack and slash games only have depth in combat. I dropped my spaghetti.

a game with depth wouldn't allow you to just comfortably spam anything, and will instantly punish you for even trying
Yes.
inb4 you post a street fighter video where the players are throwing fireballs repeatedly, which would be a complete failure to understand the difference between spamming and zoning
I believe you're confusing difficulty with depth. Also, in what game are you instantly punished for spamming a shit combo? Also, this is a single player game and not a competitive online fighter. Also, what. Also, just because the fighting mechanics in games like DMC and Bayonetta have depth doesn't mean the game itself has depth. I think we can all agree that the "puzzles" in devil may cry are anything but. I love the games but they're not exactly storytelling masterpieces. Fighting games don't have depth.

Wind Waker was eh at the beginning. Like what a step down from Majora's Mask. You have almost no freedom. Can't sail in the beginning and every island is like a mile away that usually have nothing on it. Did anyone ever worry about dying in the game?
I found it to be a pretty forgettable experience. I honestly only remember the bright colors and gliding around. Can't remember much of anything else.
