Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Chill vibes. Sometimes you want to play videogames but don't want a stressful time.
Or multitasking. I love playing Phoenix Wright on the treadmill.
Osmos or Dorfromantik for me ❤️
But yeah... Other people read a book. Nobody complains that they're just turning pages for hours. Nothing wrong with (merging those media and) enjoying whatever you like.
Agreed, the amount of times I've heard:
In regards to VN or RPGs..
Never understood how this is an argument when reading for fun exists. Specifically when comparing visual novels to books, books don't tend to have pictures, scenarios, music, sound effects or voice acting. Sometimes reading a book isn't interesting enough on its own and folks want more.
I can understand liking a game but not liking all the dialogue, I remember Mass Effect 3 had an option for Story, Action or RPG mode and it'd be great if more devs would implement that kinda thing instead of forcing one specific playstyle.
Not stressful you say?
Sometimes this happens in a middle of a combat, with the combat music playing, enemies in front of me, character is in low health, and I gotta read a conversation and the only button I can press is A.
