Dredge 7176 (If you would draw a card, instead you may put exactly seven thousand, one hundred and seventy six cards from the top of your library into your graveyard. If you do, return this card from your graveyard to your hand. Otherwise, draw a card.)
Well I mean some of them are but that isn't even the point.
Like "games have a maturity problem" is a statement I would agree with. "Playing Kingdom Hearts is a waste of time because you could be getting laid instead" is not.
The thing is that the article makes sweeping generalisations about a medium by only looking at some of its most commercially successful products. If we judged literature by Twilight, or films by Transformers, we could argue exactly the same things for other mediums.
But let's accept, at least for the sake of debate, that video games are more commonly juvenile than books, films, music, and other mediums. The article still ignores examples of video games that harness the strengths of the medium to communicate something substantial, and still ignores the unharnessed potential. A sufficiently clever simulation or approximation of a scenario can communicate the experience of struggle in a way that observing that scenario in other mediums can't, or it can put you in the shoes of a completely different kind of person -- the only limitations are imagination and, unfortunately, funding.
The most significant issue with games is probably in the industry rather than with games themselves. Games with the ideal combination of accessibility and polish tend to get the most sales, enriching studios and publishers that make them, causing more of these games to be created. The unfamiliar and the complex are dicey when it comes to grasping and holding broad audiences, and while there's absolutely nothing wrong with familiar, simple experiences, there's plenty wrong with the business driven saturation of extremely similar games we often see.
I'm dehydrated because it's so warm, so I drink a lot of water. However, drinking a lot of water causes me to pee a lot, so I end up going to the toilet a lot which makes me even more dehydrated, so I drink more water to counteract the dehydration caused by both the heat and going to the loo, which causes me to go to the loo more, and the cycle continues.
You lose both water and electrolytes when you sweat. So drinking just water leaves you needing to pee more often, because your water/electrolyte balance is off. So maybe if you drink something like Gatorade or eat something salty along with your water, you'll break the cycle.

I like Connie. She is shaped like a friend.
Imagine a funeral where everyone is wearing party hats.
That's what I want my funeral to be like. I want everyone to wear party hats and for there to be cake shaped like a graveyard.
Kind of like a Halloween party except for the fact that I am actually dead.
She is lovely.
you could write ∀n H_n(2,2) = 4, i guess
