have you ever learned a tangible real world skill from playing video games?
I double jumped once when I was in severe danger
>>339105640
How to kill
I know how to smelt steel with shit I can find behind my house.
Thanks, dorfs.
>>339105821
you what
Autistically enough, yeah.
Usually from The Sim though.
I can run out of breath after sprinting for 5 seconds
In a way. I wanted a job to buy a nice PC so I took lifeguard training. So I know how to do Heimlich and CPR n shit.
>>339106223
>>339105640
The basics of CQC
I pretty much learned english thanks to vidya.
I remember playing spyro 2 with an english dictionary by my side, paying attention to how sentences were constructed, where should i look for the key words, most common objectives...
And today im one of the best english readers / listeners from my college.
>>339107024
ops. "i should"
>>339105640
Got into judo and later MMA thanks to Metal Gear Solid 3. Could literally do a few locks and throws because I had learned the basics of CQC and autistically sometimes did dry throws in the air.

>>339105640
I learned about the "recovery" position from Ground Zeroes. When you lay Paz down at the extraction site, she rolls over onto her back and Big Boss rolls her back on her side, with her arms and legs positioned a certain way so she can't roll back again.
>>339105640
English. It is literally the greatest skill one can learn from vidya. I speak it so fluently, I can trick Amerifats into thinking I'm one of them in Mumble and Discord.
>"alright, i gotta go to bed"
>"what? it's like 8pm dude"
>"yeah and its 2am here"
>"what? where do you live?"
>"yurope"
>"wow why did you move there?"
>"born and raised. lived here all my life."
>"why the fuck do you sound american though"
English, geography, the history of medieval Europe, Japanese. But most of those weren't just from vidya. As for any physical skills, lolno. Except maybe carpal tunnel.
>>339107459
You ever think you're not fluent and just speak like a retard?
is this the wikihow thread?
>>339107196

WHAT?
I used to make my video game characters walk because I thought running/jogging everywhere was unrealistic, but then I tried it out and realized that jogging everywhere was kinda fun. It gets the blood flowing and helps me get places faster, so I guess that's something.

No. Last time I visited a friend in New Jersey, I was at a party with a friend. Some nigger called me out on not actually being foreign and thought I was talking literal gibberish so I could get attention. Showed him a jewtube video in my language and repeated what the video said and he backed off.yes that thought has come to mind. sometimes the accent slips out during intense moments of vidya with friends

It's weird I see this thread now; I'm on lunch break during a St John's first aid course, and we literally just covered infant choking. This was about 15 minutes ago.
>>339109718
Why are you guys practicing choking infants?
>>339109557It's blood. Of those who didn't survive.
>>339109718
so how do you choke an infant?
I wanna know for... uhm.. a friend's sake
>>339107730
>>339108371
>>339109848
Just feed them normally, they choke all the time because babies are fucking dumb.
when i got to drivers ed and realized that driving an actual car is 1000 times easier than playing mario kart all of the apprehension i had instantly vanished.

I wasn't gonna outrun it and I didn't want to kick it if I didn't have to. I just shouted BOOOOO really loud whenever it got a little close and the dog would be phased enough to back off a little bit but it chased me till I was out of the neighborhood. Probably a funny site to whoever was awake / woken by the barking and shouting.
I probably won't run at 3am anymore

I can't stand gambling and I'm pretty sure I learned that from Pokémon Red.
I barely played the slots but losing money for literally nothing killed me as a child. I've played the lottery once when I turned 18 and that's the only irl "gambling" I've ever done.
I got some pretty solid reflexes, like catching falling stuff instantaneously, and know some silly trivia on specific subjects.
The usual, I guess.
I'm really good at slicing fruit and vegetables

I disable subtitles to not ruin my screenshots and eventually my listening skills got better, also I used to play videogames with a dictionary when I was a kid
Other than that there's no way you can learn any relevant life skills from videogames, unless they change mechanics focus from entertainment to realism

>I pretty much learned english thanks to vidya.
Fucking THIS! Thanks to me playing a ton of CoD4 back then as one of my first online games i played a ton i started learning English more and more over the years.
Pretty much self taught myself english that way over the course of many years.

You dont
>>339105640
i know every modern assault rifle
>>339109396
I love how in that demonstration no account is made of how much exertion it actually takes to stab someone into the flesh and pull the knife out.
Most stabbings only end up with a few wounds (which are still debilitating, obviously) because actually shanking someone over and over requires a lot of exertion.
>>339114740
Depends on where you're stabbing. Chest and back you're very often grinding against ribs. Stomach? EZstab EZlife.
>>339108348
OSOI!
>>339109396
But that's not true, anon. If you run and find someone, it would be fairly easy to 2v1 someone with a knife.
If you were stupid enough to be caught in an area alone with no recourse for help, you deserve to be stabbed.
>>339114904
>it would be fairly easy to 2v1 someone with a knife.
I'm not going to stick my neck out to get stabbed for someone else. I'm not even going to stick around for myself. It's much harder to kill me when I'm booking it at full speed.

You realize most predators are smart enough to realize when you're looking away and will attack at that point. Dogs/wolves are especially pansies and won't do shit if they think you're too hot for them to handle.
Learned a lot about renaissance from Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood. Same with the Crusades in AC1
First got interested in firearms thanks to CoDMW, earlier WWII shooters and games like New Vegas broadened my horizons
First got interested in medieval weapons and armour from Dark Souls
Minecraft spurred me into learning about primitive and early european shelter, bushcraft and architecture, and Banished did as well.
Pokemon got me interested in biology at a very young age
I think that's probably it
>>339114517
That's not a tangible real world skill unless you plan on living in Japan.
>>339114837
It's harder than you think, since the non-bony areas of the body have so much give, it actually can make stabbing through them take a lot of energy as well.
I learned how to combat roll from Souls. I guess it isn't that useful of a skill, but it might come in handy one day.
