Uh oh... this can't be applied to video games, can it?

>>715970183 (OP)
Sure it can.
If you are obsessed with one game and ONLY one game played the exact same way with no change in experiences... shouldn't a sane person look for more?
Some games inspire people to find new ways to keep enjoying them, but to experience the exact same thing again and again like rewatching a movie, as a kid no less...
It is very applicable.

If he saw what the kids liked now he'd beg them to watch star wars.

That's 200 hours of his life spent on one movie. I've probably seen movies I absolutely love 10 times maximum over 30 years of life. That's some speedrunner/obsessive autist shit.

>>715970183 (OP)
To be fair, he would probably have the same reaction if the kid had told him he'd seen Bridge on the River Kwai 100 times.

>>715970742
no, a speedrunner is still looking to change something.
they are looking to beat someone, to beat the world, even, at doing something.
they are trying to improve themselves and/or how they play the game.

this guy is just obsessed with a set, static experience.
makes me think of how andre the giant got obsessed with the movie "the princess bride" that he got to act in.
he couldn't get over it, (or more likely, how happy he was during filming it) and would ask people if they saw how good it was, or something to that effect.

>>715970183 (OP)
Guiness was kind of salty that at the end of his career and in his twlight years people mostly only remembered him for being a silly space wizard and not for, say, his roles in The Bridge on the River Kwai and other David Lean films, or Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. And to be fair, most classically trained actors of the era would've felt the same.

Always a stupid mindset to have, nobody stops watching the other kinos he just additionally got hundreds of millions of other children as fans. But telling some obsessed fan to stop is still the right thing to do.

Similar thing with Richard Harris and Dumbledore.

>>715971060
I recently saw bridge on the river kwai and it was honestly the dumbest fucking thing i have ever seen. It perfectly captured why everyone hated the cunty snobby upper-class english and why they ended up losing all their captured territories.

Contrast this with Cushing:

>"My criterion for accepting a role isn't based on what I would like to do. I try to consider what the audience would like to see me do. I thought kids would adore Star Wars, since they love all things about outer space."
>"I was absolutely knocked for six, I was riveted. Star Wars was a picture you had to see again, to take in so much you missed the first time. Even the beginning was incredible, with that tablet of words receding like a pyramid into time. My only disappointment was that poor old Tarkin was blown up at the end, which meant I couldn't appear in the sequels."
>Mark Hamill was disappointed when he realized he had no scenes with Cushing, being a fan of his, so he visited the set on a day off to meet him and ask for an autograph. Hamill asked questions about Cushing's past acting career, specifically what it was like working with the comedy duo Laurel and Hardy in the 1940 film A Chump at Oxford. Cushing was surprised that he had even heard of the film. Lucas found Cushing highly pleasant to work with, leading the director to continue using British actors who could play larger-than-life villains in his films

People who fixate on a single thing and let it consume them until it becomes the core of their existence are mentally ill, it doesn't matter if it's a movie or a video game or anything else.

>>715971573
There's healthy interest and obsession, like anything else. Some fans of Star Wars grew up to be inspired by it and went into things like special effects or writing or whatever. Then some people just obsess over Star Wars thinking that being a paypig of all the media gives their life purpose, and do nothing but collect shit and wallow in their childhood.

>>715970183 (OP)
Are there actually any real examples? It seems like all of the crap that the majority of listless fanciful normie fucks refer to when trying to liken some real world shit to their favorite fantasy, it's always a movie or book or TV show.
Video games don't really have the same kind of broad "this cultural/political/social event is just like when voldymort said expelmyanus!" warped perception of the world that a not-insignificant percentage of the population unhealthily immerses itself in. There will always be fringe groups and autists and redditors that will do so, but in the context of a wider population latching on to a big property, a game being brought up is in limited capacity (usually game mechanics) and not trying to frame their world view in a "this is just what Mario would do".

>>715971001
You're right that some speedrunners can do it in a healthy way, but others straight up are wasting their lives. It's not fun for them, they're not making any money, and they spend hundreds of hours trying to shave off a second from their last run. That Goldeneye streamer who had a mental breakdown and called everyone in the community including himself degenerates was right.

When the Street Fighter movie first came out, I remember reviewers lamenting that some tripe for kids was Raul Julia's final movie.
These days not only is the movie considered far better than the original reviews, but "For me it was a Tuesday" is an all-time classic line.

Which he did, he was so charismatic that he is legitimately good as Unicron. But it's sad that his last role was something he actively hated doing. He thought Transformers was dogshit, but wanted the money for his estate.
>>715972257
Guinness has been dead for decades, mongoloid-chan.

>>715972364
I guarantee he had plenty of other roles he hated before Transformers, it's just the nature of being an actor.

no. Cushing talked of limited rewatches to take in details you didn't notice before.
He would almost certainly find obsessions like that child's worrying just like Guinness did, though he likely would never had responded the same way.

By Aldus Huxley, George Orwell, and Winston Churchill it was written that communism was in part about extending people's youth and juvenile stage to cover one's entire life. Too prevent the formation of true adults.
The fact that so many people echo the same sentiment is probably evidence of something real.

It would be like if a beetle was trapped eternally in the juvenile stage and never reached the adult stage of its life. Or any other creature. It is just such a coincidence that this outcome was reached, not through communism, but consumerism.

I hate to use the example, but there are definite cases of Nintendo fans becoming Ninfants (because the other name is banned). Now whether thats due to Star Wars being Star Wars and Nintendo being Nintendo or some other underlying disease within humanity is a different question, but the two do share similar displays of immaturity and obsession.
