Chapter 75 A Boring World Without Electronic E-Drugs
"Uh...it's not really that kind," Chen Che explained, "it's just an electronic stomach tonic."
"What...does that mean?" Chen Sui was a little embarrassed. After all, it was quite unimaginable for someone to shout that they were taking care of their stomach in public. At least she had never seen it in the first eighteen years of her life.
The concept of electronic stomach care hasn't become popular yet, so Chen Che explained it to her.
Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I used to not get 3D motion sickness, but now I feel like throwing up just looking at a first-person perspective.
It could also be because the pressures of real life have made it harder to experience the joy of games.
Or perhaps you've completed a game that's incredibly fun, addictive, and immersive, making all other games seem bland and uninteresting.
For example, the world's best P5.
In short, someone who loved playing games suddenly stopped loving them.
That was truly the cruelest form of torture for a player.
Unfortunately, Chen Che's targeted electronic ED treatment drug Yuan Shen will not be available until 2015, and Dark Souls 3 will not be available until 2016.
Souls has broken out of its niche status and become an object of imitation and pursuit by everyone. Its unique charm lies not only in its fragmented narrative, multi-modal action, and seemingly independent but actually interconnected maps, but more importantly, in the fact that it is not your character that becomes stronger, but yourself.
As for Dark Souls 2, let's not even mention the trashy scum who were expelled from the Dark Souls roster.
"Class monitor, do you play games?"
"Let's play." Chen Sui nodded.
"Oh? What kind of game? Car, shooting, sports, action, or RPG?" Chen Che asked curiously.
"Huh? What kind of game is car, gun, ball?" Chen Sui blinked in confusion.
"It's like those racing games, shooting games, and games that simulate playing soccer and basketball," Chen Che explained.
"Oh, then it should be considered a ball game," Chen Sui replied after a moment's thought.
"What's your name? I'll give you the next one." Chen Che casually opened Baidu.
"No need to download it," Chen Sui shook her head and continued, "It's usually available on computers. Look for it; it's called 3D Pinball."
Chen Che was taken aback, then remembered: "Isn't this the game that comes with the Windows system, 3D Pinball, Space Cadet?"
"Yeah, I've also played Minesweeper, Spider Solitaire, FreeCell, and all sorts of other games."
"Aren't those just games we play to pass the time during computer class?" Chen Che laughed, noting that the games he was talking about were not quite the same as the games she understood.
"But aren't games meant to kill time and have fun?" Chen Sui retorted.
Chen Che got really excited when this was mentioned.
I remember the days when I used to play The Witcher 3 on my office laptop at the lowest graphics settings with only a dozen frames per second, and I would patiently wait for the game to start for several minutes every day and still enjoy it. One frame was playable, two frames was smooth, no joke.
Because as soon as you log into the game, you can see the alluring Yennefer, the gentle yet strong Triss, Shani drifting together on the little boat of friendship, and the Duchess flying together among cotton candy-like clouds...
"Games are indeed just a tool for passing the time and having fun, but they can also be a cultural carrier, just like movies, TV series, and literary works, and can be considered the ninth art."
"Do you know what it feels like to beat a game like this?" Chen Che suddenly asked.
"Hmm... Happy, right... Feeling a sense of accomplishment or something?" Chen Sui said uncertainly, after all, she had never had this experience before. The 16x30 advanced Minesweeper was the limit of her imagination when it came to games.
Chen Che shook his head and said with deep emotion:
"It's loneliness."
Whether it's starting a grand epic, slashing the griffin's leg with a steel sword in the left hand, piercing the ghoul's skull with a silver sword in the right, or riding a radish on the old father's long journey to find his daughter.
Or perhaps you've been asleep for a thousand years, emerging from a cave, the camera panning over your shoulder, a symphony playing in your ears, and before you lies the entire open-world continent of Hyrule.
Or perhaps, faced with the collective consciousness of humanity and his chuunibyou-esque declaration that "if the gods commit sins, then let the Demon King clean up the mess," he would fire a massive armor-piercing bullet and then quietly retire to continue being an ordinary Japanese high school student.
The feeling after completing the game was... utter loneliness.
I wish I could embark on such a thrilling adventure with my best friend.
Because no matter when or where, the best setup for a game is friends.
"Oh." Chen Sui nodded, seemingly understanding.
Sigh, in this boring world without electronic ED special effects medicine, this kind of mainstream computer can only be used to browse Bilibili, right? Let me see what's good to watch.
Ok……
The origin of the term "ghostly" was finally revealed by the release of "Ghostly Blue Road" not long ago.
The chairman hasn't chosen a number yet, no wonder he's back to being eighteen and his sleep quality is always a bit lacking.
Oh, Aunt Biting Cat still looks just as beautiful as she did more than ten years later.
The dance section is still filled with silly, cute anime girls wearing masks and awkwardly dancing to Japanese anime background music.
Fortunately, I, your uncle, love watching these kinds of things.
Chen Sui watched as Chen Che's expression gradually changed from emptiness to enjoyment, and secretly leaned over to take a peek.
What is all this?! How could he think of this kind of thing? No wonder he encouraged me to learn street dance before?!
Chen Sui tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Hey, Chen Che."
"Hmm, what for?" Chen Che replied casually, his eyes glued to the screen.
"If I don't need this computer for the time being, could I use it to learn Photoshop and edit videos?"
"Oh, you're interested in this too?" Chen Che finally looked away from the computer screen.
"Yeah, there are lots of tutorials and installation packages in the student council's group, but my computer can't handle those programs. This computer is definitely powerful enough, please."
Chen Sui's tone was slightly affected, with a hint of coquetry. This was the first time Chen Che had heard this tone from her in so long.
Unfortunately, I haven't trained properly yet, so my grip isn't firm enough, not alluring enough, and not strong enough.
There's still plenty of room for developing new skills.
As for her request, Chen Che readily agreed.
Just kidding, this is free labor, so of course the more skills they have, the better.
Chen Che sat down to one side and had just picked up his phone to read a few pages of a novel when he heard Chen Sui calling him from her chair: "Chen Che, why don't you come and take a look? This software is installed but I can't open it."
"Tsk, class monitor, you can't even install software properly? Just follow the tutorial and click 'next' all the way through, isn't that enough?"
"I followed the tutorial to install it, but I still can't open it."
Chen Che went over to take a look, but double-clicking the application twice had no effect.
"Class monitor, let me teach you a universal computer repair mantra."
"Um?"
"Rebooting solves 98% of the problems, reinstalling solves 99% of the problems, and buying a new computer solves 100% of the problems."
Chen Che restarted the computer, but it didn't work.
I uninstalled it and reinstalled it following the tutorial, but it still didn't work.
"Hmm?" Chen Che frowned.
"See? I told you the software wouldn't run," Chen Sui said smugly.
"Class monitor, this software is faulty and can't be used. Why are you so happy?" Chen Che made a face like a sweating soybean.
"I told you I didn't do the installation steps wrong, but you didn't believe me. You still can't open it."
"Now, shouldn't we buy a new computer?" Chen Sui teased from the side, "What's the point of you nagging like this?"
Chen Che pondered for a while, clicking around in the installation path, and finally changed the Chinese characters in the folder names in the path to English.
Double-click the application again, and the software will start successfully.
"Huh? How did it get out?" Chen Sui asked curiously.
"Hmph, want to know?" Chen Che smiled smugly.
"Mmm-hmm." Chen Sui nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
"Call me 'brother' and let me hear it."
"..."
"Brother," Chen Sui called out through gritted teeth, sounding reluctantly.
"No, something's not right. It's the tone you used when you said 'Please, please' just now."
"...Brother~ Brother~" Chen Sui raised her voice and called out, word by word.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad." Chen Che nodded in satisfaction.
"Speak quickly!" Chen Sui paused for a moment, then switched back to her normal tone and urged.
"Your installation path contains Chinese characters. Currently, foreign software generally doesn't have very good compatibility with Chinese characters. Just change it to letters."
"Wow, how did you know?" Chen Sui exclaimed in surprise, her tone tinged with admiration.
Anyone who has worked knows that being able to quickly solve a difficult problem indicates a wealth of experience and the ability to encounter many similar issues.
"These are all experiences I've gained from playing games," Chen Che said with a smile.
"You can gain experience in solving this kind of problem by playing games?" Chen Sui looked incredulous.
However, this is the truth.
This situation was common when playing foreign games, especially the learning versions, where various bugs were easily encountered.
Double-clicking has no effect, the game crashes, or it throws errors like "file not found," "loading failed," or "unable to initialize." In order to play the game, I tried all sorts of things, brainstormed on the forums, and naturally accumulated this kind of experience through repeated trial and error.
Previously, mainland players could only play games using the Traditional Chinese version provided for compatriots in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Being able to read Traditional Chinese was considered one of the basic skills for players, and some would even leave messages on Steam saying "we need Chinese".
However, now, more and more foreign developers have realized how big the mainland market is. Not to mention simplified Chinese subtitles, even authentic Chinese dubbing is now standard.
And all of this has only been a little over a decade ago, which is truly remarkable.
