“Due to the physiological restrictions imposed on humans over thousands of years of evolution, I was born with only one pair of eyes and two limbs equipped with opposable thumbs. Because humans are not equipped with monocular vision, it is not possible for me to visually focus on more than one task at any given moment. At this given moment I am playing a video game. Video games, also known as computer games or simply “games” in the modern era, are composed of images which are graphically displayed in rapid succession so as to form fluid motion. The display of these graphical images is interactive and changes based on input from the user. Most games have goals or tasks which a user must complete in order to finish the game. In addition to these goals, a game may contain narrative elements such as dialogue or scripted scenes in which the user’s control of the graphical images is suspended for a short time in order for a narrative plot to be developed. These elements describe the basic aspects consistent with most games, however some games may contain none of these aspects or aspects herein unmentioned. Video games specifically are displayed via a monitor connected to a personal computing unit whose core component, the central processing unit, carries out computing tasks many times faster than a human mind could achieve. These units are equipped with a graphic processing unit which interfaces with the central processing unit and allows graphical output to be generated on the aforementioned monitor.

Moving back to the given moment, the precise video game I am playing is known as “Minecraft.” This is an interesting, though not entirely unusual game as the aforementioned goals which accompany most games are not altogether present in this one. While “Minecraft” does provide “achievements” for completing basic tasks, there is no clear path to completion and the game is entirely absent of any narrative or plot. What makes this interesting is that it is left to the game’s user to decide how to spend his or her time in the game. In this regard, the only goals or narrative that the game presents are the ones which are internally manifested by the user. In this regard, my focus is entirely concentrated on manifesting a large hole in the ground surrounded by stone-like material building blocks colloquially referred to as “cobblestone.” As mentioned previously, my binocular vision will allow me only one visual focus at a time. In addition, “Minecraft” is a game which requires the use of both of my opposable-thumb-equipped limbs. Therefore, I cannot interface with two separate software programs on my computing unit simultaneously. The second software program I am of course referring to is the one by which you are attempting to vocally contact me. This program, known as “Discord,” will allow the vocal communication between multiple humans at once, as well as several other features which will not be discussed here. During vocal communication, the chosen names or tags of participants are shown under a small subsection known as a “voice channel.” In order to discern who is speaking at any given moment, one must view these names under the “voice channel.” However, since my vision and limbs are currently focused on the game “Minecraft,” I cannot view the name of the person who has just entered, as indicated by the audible bell like tone which has just occured. Due to this restriction of my visual and physical capabilities, I am now vocally asking for you to express your given birth name or other identifying trait such that I may gain the knowledge of which particular person has just now entered this specific voice channel to which I am currently connected via my personal computing unit.”
