Yes, my comment is hardly comprehensible now for me, I wouldn't understand it if I weren't, eh, me.
I meant that a bit of playing some games (where writing and roleplay and other things not too strongly defined by mechanics are more important) is good.
Just preparing for real life events or processing some trauma via games where you can win or lose depending on some clear objectives won't work. Like Paradox strategies, these suck you in easily, but I don't think there's any good influence in them. Or like MMOs.
Yes, bad way to say it.
Yes, it says what I was trying to say much clearer and many other smart things, so.
When I say roleplay, I don't mean like a game with some roleplay-oriented objectives and scripted progress, or a bit of casual RP in a game between players who just run into one another.
I mean like months of deep immersion into characters and arcs that culminate in some really crazy and emotional stuff.
