Talking to women is a game and if you say the wrong thing it's game over.

Ring fit has helped me lose 20+ pounds in the past 4 months. I'm almost under 200 now.

Leadership, optimisation of a team based on playing by their strengths, communication and leadership.

I once got a managment job by telling my boss that I lead a group of 25 people to make server first Naxxaramas clear. He didn't understand so maybe be just cringed internally

Learned a lot of general history from playing total war games.

Games can be super educational if done right. Maybe not directly but as an example, learning names of nations/factions, their geographic locations, and general historic dates they're associated with is a great starting point for delving deeper into the history. Total War games are not super accurate of course, but they're good for a general idea and they peak interest. whats cooler than reading about an ancient battle and then being able to go and recreate it? I used total War Rome II and Empire to help a friend who was teaching a military history class make some reenactments of major battles that he then used in his lectures.

patience?

Journalism is full of shit.

There is no such thing as "half a button press".

Ass Creed games were also pretty good at showing the general way of life of their time periods.
The second one was absolutely the best in this regard.

>students responding to a prompt beginning by regurgitating the prompt without even bothering to adjust the grammar to fit
It's a symptom of everyone being barely literate fucks without an ounce of critical thinking ability and I hate it so much.

Speaking of, I owe a decent chunk of my vocabulary to video games. I adore "colorful" words that carry connotation or implication. I learned much of my vocabulary contextually by just seeing it in use in games and books such that I will frequently have a word pop into my head, look up the definition to check that it is appropriate and find that it is EXACTLY the right word.

Also, if you are actually trying to use video games as supporting evidence of skills, it's more about what you brought to a challenge and how you grew, not just what you learned. Taking charge of and leading a guild of incompetent fucks in an MMO, for example. Or playing a Zachtronics game and applying engineering principles, using the given speed/cost/area metrics to design a well-optimized solution that maximizes one while keeping the others within reasonable bounds.

I learned saying the word "nigger" is socially unacceptable

I loved reading the little history excerpts they had.

I hope you're generalizing all journalism based on game "journalism".

I learned how to read from genesis RPGs.

How to dress nicely. GTA San Andreas and Saints Row 2 both had amazing clothing customization and I learned a lot just by experimenting with that.

You can actually put in guild leader experience in your resume. I got hired with my 2006-2017 guild leader in there. I titled it E-Sports Team Manager

I have an easier time conceptualizing 3D physical objects and solving problems.

I spent most of my free time during my teenage years in an mmo where I never revealed my irl identity. I dumped my entire bowl of spaghetti there, every ounce of teen angst I could ever possibly have. So, that was all dumped without ever touching my real life. My social and emotional IQ went up bigly irl because of it

ARMA will make it. Good thing I have a solid understanding of ACE Medical.

I can understand 4 languages.

I unironically learned how to drive because of games.

unironically Vidya helps lose weight. Pump it up , the arcade rhythm game, helped me lose weight when I used to play it a lot. There is one near my house and I should really go and lose some weight, just to be fit again. More fun than the treadmill for cardio

I actually learned how to fight with a sword playing fire emblem lol, I won't say I'm good but at least I know a few basic combos with a katana (yes unironically) from watching ryoma fight in both fates and warriors,l since a lot of games use real combat moves and swordsmanship but obviously for physical moves you need to have the right physique, not all of them mind you but I've learned some good moves from fire emblem fates

The guy arbitrarily defined a term to more efficiently communicate about his work. That is what language is. I bet you're one of those retarded faggots who abjectly refuses to acknowledge the usage of "gender" distinctly from "sex" and shitposts with another person by carrying two entirely separate half-conversations because each is using a word differently (and both know it, amusingly).

Technically persistent and adaption if you play harder games. Otherwise dexterity.

Jesus christ this post cant be real

if you're a person who plays games driving is a fucking joke. You have the polished reflexes and interface-handling already from playing myriad games

Minecraft gave me an spatial awareness and sense of direction I didn't have develop and I haven't get lost since then.

That doesn't have any feedback, though. You could easily end up like the schoolchild allowed to dress themselves, so they go to school wearing shorts and pants with underwear on the outside and a raincoat.

I also learned moves from Fire Emblem

Art appreciation is definitely a thing learned by playing games.

It's amazing how bad people are at things.

I learned how Gates worked thanks to Redstone in Minecraft.

It can be frustrating being called competent when you know you're not and It's other people that are shitters.

im in 3 hours in nioh 1 and the boss fights sucks my build is soo fucked up im about to quit this game

>doesn't feel anything unless he applies 10 tons of squeezing force
Is it possible to learn this power?

Being able to spot the dead ends you've created can be considered a skill.

This recent meme of redoing videos with Hal-Life sound effects is a real testament to how god damn good its sound design is.

Basic anatomy
Basic architecture
Mythology
Basic Japanese
Basic Economics
Philosophy
Art Appreciation
Driving
Religion
Geographical / Spatial Awareness
Managing skills
Strategy
Leadership
Problem Solving

honestly if you're making a resume and you're some straight out of high school 18 year old you can unironically add many of (relevant ones) these and you wouldn't be lying if you're looking to get into some college of choice

it's called being Perceptive

videogames definitely enhance your perception of things, whether it is your spatial awareness, increase quick-thinking, recognize patterns, etc

Bruh

playing fighting games helped me learn how to keep my cool better in stressful situations

If only people learned reading comprehension instead of skipping/speed reading. Seeing people complain about things they missed/skipped over pisses me off to no end.
