The group in this video/podcast talk about their favorite video games to relax to. They bring up games like No Man’s Sky, Pokémon, and Animal Crossing. A major reason why they find these games relaxing is because you really don’t have to think to play, these games are more of a distraction than a competition. You can zone out and enjoy the scenery or animation of the game. One complaint they had was about how a couple of these games have modernized. In Pokémon Go, players feel like they’re on the constant prowl for items, like the game is demanding them to play. They resolve their discussion with agreeing that the best game are those you can freely play. One thing I was confused about with this source is pinpointing what type it is. Would it be considered a primary source because of its similarity to an interview, just more casual? This group also talks about their firsthand experience and opinions about each of these games. I plan to use this source in my research paper. I have a focus on Animal Crossing specifically, but with this source I was planning to branch out research-wise. Thoughts on these games that have similar attributes to Animal Crossing can be very helpful because of the lack of researched or written articles about the topic.
