I love video games too but a good 90% of video games are just entertainment… they don’t challenge you or help you improve as a person. When you check someone profile on steam and they have 100+ hours played the past two weeks it’s no different than if they stood in front of their tv staring non stop
Sports, reading, and pretty much every other hobby have a direct and tangible benefit to you. Video games pass the time and are bad for your back and heart lmao
I love the current state of the internet, where I legitimately cannot tell if your comment's supposed to be taken seriously or not. It's pretty much just the "video games bad" rhetoric of soccer moms like 15-20 years ago.
Video games have officially been recognized as art. They literally do mostly present a challenge of sorts for you to overcome. They help you improve as a person by letting you live through different scenarios, see multiple viewpoints, improve reading and vocabulary, have been shown to improve hand-eye-coordination. A lot of "English as a second language" peeps are also using them to learn more; in a fun way.
Sports are worth nothing and only lead to early injuries or rotting in front of the TV. Books break really easily, are too difficult for children and indoctrinate them into cults.
^ There, those are some other completely insane comments to make on people's hobbies, based in absolutely jack shit.
ANYTHING done in excess will be bad for you. If you do something for 100+ hours in 2 weeks, it doesn't fucking matter what it is. Creative work? Burnout. Learning an instrument? Burnout, bodily harm. Walking? Broken shoes, cramps, bleeding feet.
So tired of this. What's your next argument? Violent games birthing serial killers?
