Girard on the other hand, his whole family is shit and it is no wonder he turned out the same way.
Jirard I liked for a time, but lost interest before the whole fake charity thing got started. That, and some of his content had started getting sloppy around before that point.

Grag warned us he was a greedy shitbag years ago.
Who? I never followed the rumor mill around Completionist, even when I watched some of his early content. I just know bubble started busting after the failed relaunch of G4 and X-Play.

There should be more games about being an NPC imo.
...I get what you mean, but that statement is an oxymoron.

What NPC role would you like to play as? A monster in a cavern? A healer at a Pokémon center? A guard at an Evil Lair?

A shop owner that buys gear from adventurers, then sells that gear to other adventurers who then quest for better and better shit.

Also allowing you to break down crap they bring and craft it into cool shit to let the adventurers beat harder and harder content.

At Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg a team of researchers examined people with gaming disorder. What they found out was that those with the disorder that started playing at age 6-7 got problems at around age 14, whereas those that started at around age 10 got problems at around age 21. For this reason they recommend people delay the gaming debut of their children, though they admit the possibility that it could be a matter of the games the younger group was exposed to was more addictive.

They also noted a clear male dominance and symptoms of autism and/or ADHD in the patients.

EDIT: Oh hey, I found the study, which actually is in English and freely available, for those curious.
