Why I Play Games on Easy (And Why You Should Start!)

Do you play video games on easy mode? If you do, you're not alone. In this video, we're talking about why I finally let go of the "hardcore gamer" ego and started playing my single-player games on casual and story difficulties. Between balancing a busy life, raising a family, and just wanting to unwind after a long day, my gaming habits have completely shifted. From surviving the horrors of Resident Evil without the stress of ammo hoarding, to turning off permadeath in Fire Emblem so I can actually enjoy the characters and music, dropping the difficulty has saved my time and let me actually finish the games I start. We are leaving the toxic "git gud" mentality in the past and focusing on what really matters: having fun and experiencing great stories. What difficulty do you usually play on, and why?
