Gamers Unite!
If you love playing video games, you're definitely going to relate and connect with these 20 satisfying things only gamers will understand. From filling entire lobbies with just your friends to finally beating that difficult boss that took you over 20 tries, these points all fill you with a sense of satisfaction and happiness. Can you think of anything else to add?
1. Finally Completing A Game
Is there anything more satisfying than successfully completing a game that you spent hours trying to tackle? The harder it was, the better the feeling! It's a bit bittersweet at first knowing there's nothing left to play, but it's the ultimate reward for all your hard work and effort.
2. Getting Every Achievement
Only perfectionists and try-hards will understand just how amazing it feels to unlock every single achievement in a game. You finally get that sense of fulfillment that you completed every possible task and challenge, leaving no stone unturned. It's the only way to say you've truly "beat" a game.
3. The First Stretch
Have you been gaming for hours, completely losing track of the time? We bet you didn't even notice your back is screaming for a break! That first stretch you take after sitting in your gaming chair for hours is simply the best. Definitely try to get up for breaks more often.
4. Creamy Keyboards
You may have never considered describing a keyboard as "creamy" before, but many gamers have decidedly chosen this word to explain the smooth and rich sound a creamy keyboard creates. It's incredibly satisfying to the ear and generates this lovely "thock" that gamers absolutely love.
5. Clacky Keyboards
Not a fan of creamy keyboards? You must enjoy the loud nature of clacky keyboards that have the best tactile feedback instead, perfect for gamers who don't want to miss out on any little detail that might help them win. Every time you type, it's like a satisfying symphony of clicks hitting your ears.
6. Beating Your Own Personal Record
It's like they say: you are your own biggest enemy. It's true when it comes to gaming! Even though you've reached the top, it never feels like it's enough. Which is why the feeling you get when you finally crack open your own personal record is unbeatable.
7. RGB Lights
This mix of red, green, and blue lights have become synonymous with gamers, elevating their gaming setups to a whole other level. Not only does it add personality and flair, it's so satisfying to watch as the colors change across your keyboard, mouse, light strips, or even your PC.

8. In-Game Friendships
Sometimes, the friendships we build in games are just as meaningful as the ones in real life. If you're a gamer who loves escaping reality, these connections you build with other passionate gamers can truly make your day and transform your gaming experience.
9. Finally Getting A Win
Feeling defeated after a series of losses? Does a win seem like it's out of reach? Well, persistence and determination will truly get you somewhere, especially when it comes to gaming. There's nothing like that first win after a ton of losses to finally get your spirits back up. Whether you're gaming alone or with friends, it's a feeling like no other.
10. Matching Setup Accessories
Does your deskmat match your keyboard and mouse? There's just something unexplainably satisfying about looking at your gaming setup and seeing cohesive colors and themes. You built it - it's time to be proud of it.
11. Getting Back At A Troll
Gamers are all too familiar with online trolls that purposely try to ruin your day, which is why getting back at them is the ultimate sweet revenge. Whether it's getting a kill against them in game or simply rising to be victorious despite their best efforts, there's nothing like putting an annoying troll back in their place.
12. Character Creation Menus
Some video games allow for character creation which is a really fun way to personalize the game and add a bit of your own personality to your experience. It's a simple added touch that gamers can all enjoy and appreciate. The more customization options, the better.
13. Being In The Zone
That feeling when you've entered the "flow" state and manage to pull off the craziest combos or strategies is the greatest. For gamers, it's a show of skill, being able to execute the best plays and showing off to everyone else. Being in the zone is a satisfying experience that doesn't happen all too often, which makes the moment all the more special.
14. Beating A Difficult Boss
The harder the challenge, the more satisfying the win. While difficult bosses can feel frustrating to go up against, it makes beating them feel all the greater when you do. It's a clear sign of your skills improving, something all gamers look forward to seeing.
15. Quality Of Life Improvements
Whether its updates made to the same game or improvements done on the sequel, quality of life changes made from the developers is always good news to gamers. It makes players feel seen, heard, and makes them want to support the company further.
16. Cross-Platform Play
There's nothing more exciting than learning your friend playing on the PC can still join you while you're on the PS5. Cross-platform play is an addition to any game that shows the developers care about the gamer's experience. They value the importance of co-op and enjoying games with others, something that feels deeply satisfying when acknowledged.
17. No Pay-To-Win Aspects
In today's world full of games with micro-transactions, seeing one without any pay-to-win aspects is rarer than you might realize. Which make them all the more special! Gamers absolutely love it when the only time they need to pay is when buying or downloading the game. Not needing to spend extra money to unlock certain features is incredibly valued.
18. Being Undisturbed
Never take for granted the beauty of silence when gaming. No disruptions, no distractions, just you, your controller, and an escape from reality. It's such an amazing way to spend time with yourself as you enjoy doing what you love.
19. Game Talk
Sometimes, it's all about the simple things. Talking with your friends about a shared favorite game or even making new ones thanks to overlapping gaming preferences is one of the best feelings. It's so nice knowing that people love and care about the same things that you do.
20. Playing With Friends
As a gamer, it's hard to find something more satisfying than filling an entire lobby with just your friends. Without having to play with randoms, you limit your interactions with trolls all while creating amazing memories and experiences with your best buds.
