    Not sure any game has ever taught me a life lesson, but some did get me thinking on certain concepts and ideas. TWEWY got me thinking on how odd humans are with wanting to commuunicate yet keep alienating themselves, P4 brought up how judging someone from second hand knowledge is foolish, ect.

    Games like Resident Evil made me more OCD about keeping my supplies organized and neat.

    Pokemon taught me to ditch your Pokemon after you're done breeding them for a higher IV stat Pokemon.

    Heh, I'd expect that only applies to if I ever decide to become an animal breeder or something. If that really were my attitude towards children and better stats, I'd be no different than those crazy people that think about making a genetically superior race or soemthing.

    If you play a lot of retro games (like RPG's or Zelda-type games), you might learn "what goes around, comes back around". That seemed to be a concept that was popular back in the early days of gaming. Do something nice for a character (retrieve a lost item, give them something they like/need) and they'll help you. Don't help them, and your game gets a bit tougher. It's like the video game version of Karma, or the golden rule.

    Games have helped me relax when I get mad or just need to get my mind off things.

    One thing I learned - sometimes a game is so left field/bizarro world with plot, I wonder if the developers are on drugs or not.

    I would say "experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows" " And experience has also taught me the best way to solve my problems is to kick robot butt" Sonic Colors - Sonic
    OK My list:
    Hand Eye Coordination, Critical Thinking, Time Exercise, Persistence, ""good" sportsmanship. etc.
    I believe those are qualities that all humans should possess.
