Has a video game ever changed you as a person?
I started liking olives after this.

I used to be an outgoing person but after over a thousand hours in CSGO and LoL I'm a bitter misanthrope.
ME3 made me permanently enjoy games less.

Pathologic helped me understand what mental strain means
Undertale.
Made me more motivated, put me in better control of my emotions, and made me abandon my mentally-ill tranny ideas.

good taste is a myth.

/vg/utg/ is a good thing that came out of it I think.
Pretty interesting 4chan subcommunity.

Yeah, sure, playing games had an impact on my as a person. Games I played as a kid affected my imagination quite a lot: The aesthetics of Dune, Fallout or Morrowind affected me a lot as a kid. Hell, my own literary take on Morrowind (understand: fan-fiction) got me a youth literally awards award.
Later on, games like Silent Hill 2 or The Witcher 2 made me actually realize a thing or two about my own moral perception. It's not that they would turn me into a different person, but they gave me some valuable food for thought.
And then there were games like Pathologic or The Void that actually ignited my passion for games as a medium worth academic insights, and had an impact on me comparable to some of the best books I've read.
The overall impact that games had on my was still smaller than books, music or cinema had, but I would not dismiss them as inconsequential.
Katawa Shoujo actually helped me realise i couln't give up on life at 20, made me move my ass, find a gf and start grow up as a man, it was just a little spark but it actually made me walk forward. Same thing happened years later january 2015, i was really depressed because life was hard at the time and i was hesitating, didn't know if i should start new studies at 23yo or try finding a good job for one more year, eventually at the moment i was watching that anime called Kaiji, very depressing anime but with a message that actually kicks you in the but, in the end it gave me the will to not accept being a tool at a shitty job with no future.
It's really strange that pieces of fiction can move someone's life like that

Hmm, perhaps, but not in the direct sense.
I've gained a lot of experience from quite a lot of years as a raid and guild leader during my teens, as well as playing a lot of competitive team games. It probably wasn't a direct contributor to anything, but I think it has been something of a catalyst for various developments over the years.
Games have also given me a stress-free, pseudonymous, means of interaction, and that was rather helpful in the early teens.
So, perhaps it hasn't changed me as a person, but, as any major hobby, it has been integral to my life at various points.

So, what, you just got to a certain point and decided "Yeah, fucking olives man, they're pretty good"?
How does a videogame make you like food

Peoples tend to see vidya as a media for lonely bitter peoples, but actually i've never seen as much friendship blooming as on video games.
It's actually a medium where you can meet a friend's friend on the go and enjoy time with him/her without the awkward silence phases etc.
It actually gave me some pretty good IRL friends, i meet these people online, actually begin to know them as they really are because of no IRL bullshit or shyness, then when i meet them at a friend's house or so, i feel like i can talk to them without problem.

>friends IRL
I found this too. I was always eager to meet people that I'd gotten to know online, and since some of them have been great friends. Went and met a guy in Sweden 10 years ago, and we still see each other every year. Have another friend that I met back in '03 or something, and we try to meet up every few months.
The social aspects of gaming are really underrated.
Why are autistic girls so much cooler and hotter than autistic guys?
Metal Gear Solid V taught me to never be excited for anything again.
