Effects of a video game intervention on symptoms, training motivation, and visuo-spatial memory in depression By Moritz Bergmann, Ines Wollbrandt, Lisa Gittel, Eva Halbe, Sarah Mackert, Alexandra Philipsen, Silke Lux Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany, 2023 doi.org/10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1173652 Methods: a total of 46 clinically depressed individuals were treatment including psychotherapy and/or randomly assigned to one of three groups: an experimental "3D video gaming" group (n = 14) which played Super Mario Odyssey, an active control group (n = 16) which trained with a computer program "CogPack," and a treatment-as-usual (TAU) group (n = 16) which received a standard clinical pharmacotherapy. Results: regarding depressive symptoms, a significant decrease in the proportion of participants who showed clinical levels of depressive symptoms as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory was only found in the 3D video gaming group (which played Super Mario Odyssey). Conclusion: besides a standalone cognitive training, the current findings suggest that cognitive trainings using a video game have potential to increase subjective well-being, show higher levels of training motivation, and lead to improvements in visuo-spatial memory functions in MDD. The proportion of participants that showed depressive symptoms (BDI-II ≥ 13) at pre- (T1) and post-assessment (T2). For Super Mario Odyssey, 100 at T1 and 57 at T2. Note: information heavily abridged. For the full paper, see link above.

A 2023 German psychiatric study found that playing Super Mario Odyssey significantly improved depressive symptoms in clinically depressed individuals compared to regular psychotherapeutic treatment, reducing depression by 43%.

Fan art of Human Domestication Guide. The image states 'INSIDE OF YOU ARE TWO HUMANS. The image presents "THE 'LOYAL' TERRAN" (who looks distressed, on the verge of breakdown) and "THE HAPPY FLORET" (who's in ecstatic bliss, completely lost in the sauce). Text at the bottom reads "YOU'VE ALREADY MADE YOUR CHOICE.'

have you read Human Domestication Guide because i did yesterday and WOW i have not stopped thinking about it

"Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing" is a popular Internet meme about Luigi that started with a video uploaded by YouTube user KlydeStorm in 2009, in which Luigi wins against CPU opponents in Mario Party 2 without performing any inputs. It became so popular that Nintendo's own social media accounts and official videos referenced it. [A post from SuperMario_UK on Twitter] He does nothing. How does he always win? [A subtitle on Nintendo Monthly Rewind-April 2021 on YouTube] But will Luigi win by doing nothing? However, the first instance of Luigi winning while doing absolutely nothing actually comes from Nintendo themselves. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Luigi wins a drama contest while playing grass, a role requiring him to lie down and be silent for the whole play. While it might at first appear that the other actors's performances were responsible for the victory, it turns out that everyone specifically liked Luigi doing absolutely nothing. [Screenshots of PM:TTYD] Hayzee was a producer, and he was looking for actors to go on stage with him. The script was great, but I got really hosed, Bro... My "role"... My "part"... ...Was grass! I played grass by the side of the road! Grass, Bro! Grass! I just sprawled out on the ground and had to be silent. Everyone but me had lines... In the end, our musical was the talk of the town, and we won the Drama Slam. But wow! Outside were tons of fans! MY fans! Fans of grass! They swarmed me!

"Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing" is a meme started with a fan video in 2009, which got so popular Nintendo themselves referenced it repeatedly. However, the earliest instance of Luigi winning by doing nothing actually comes from a game and predates the meme by 5 years.

Weaknesses: - Unskippable cutscenes - Some chapters feel half-baked - Minor bugs - Excessive makeout scenes - Slow segments in gameplay

A friend of mine was using a tool to analyze market research for his game. As a check he tested it on DELTARUNE. Seems like I have a lot of things to work on...

i dont think one thing should replace discord, i think like three things at minimum should replace discord. it being an All-in-One app has ruined so many parts of online.

i've never understood making vague posts abt any Serious Situations unfolding w/ an online figure like this. i feel like any legal/PR rep worth their salt would tell you to shut the fuck up until you can ACTUALLY say something tangible and actionable about w/e's happening if it's smth Serious

This comes from a genuine place of concern with no disrespect intended, but I really wish this post had been a bit more clear or not made at all just yet — given the fact it’s so vague will invite rampant speculation, misinformation, and panic as opposed to encouraging people to be calm and patient.

god i need her so bad 💜💜💜
