Sure, games are fun, but there's better, healthier ways to have fun. I can't really think of anything which I was able to get out of a video game that I couldn't -- hypothetically at least -- have gotten somewhere better. I've also seen many people who absolutely use video games as a distraction for avoiding real problems. I'm not sure they'd be able to do that so easily if their hobby was a sport, an instrument, wood carving, etc. Games are just way more addictive and time consuming now than they used to be. Although I will say, I do think games are at least better than watching TV since they're at least relatively engaging.
Again, I love me some games, but I place them squarely in the "tolerable vice" category of my life lol.
how the hell is going to work day after day being miserable because you cant enjoy your life till your twilight years is ever considered being productive,
also fuck that Id rather be happy .
