Here&#39;s a few things I know would not be the same with me, were it not for gaming.<\/p>\n<p>* My ability to speak to and lead group discussions\/classes, and manage small group dynamics.<br \/>* My writing, both in terms of subject matter and sheer volume of practice.<br \/>* My circle of friends and acquaintances.<br \/>* I would never have met my wife and, by extension, wouldn&#39;t have met my kids.<\/p>\n<p>Day to day, though? I suppose it&#39;s the fact I can&#39;t watch a TV show, see a movie, or read a book without considering how it would work as a game. I don&#39;t know if that&#39;s a benefit or not, but it&#39;s definitely an &quot;always on&quot; feature of my life as a gamer.<\/p>\n<div><a href='https:\/\/plus.google.com\/photos\/105138568577624786912\/albums\/6315956642009558801\/6315956648741256002'><img src='https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-Z0k7tC-8fQY\/V6bJG9D9O0I\/AAAAAAABANg\/bGle5LLSRFAM0HnC4FjZPtf1ZvSyqkB8A\/rpg-a-day.jpg?imgmax=550' \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href='' style='width:50px;height:50px;display:inline-block;background-size:cover;background-image:url(\"\");'><\/a>\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 6: What is the most amazing thing that you know a game group has done for their community? http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gamersgiving\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[53,115],"class_list":["post-12232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-musing","tag-gaming","tag-google"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12232"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12232\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12233,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12232\/revisions\/12233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
