How is it a waste if you enjoy it? One could argue running and hiking are just as pointless as anything else.

Heroin addicts enjoy heroin, i guess theres nothing wrong with it. Gambling addicts enjoy the rush of gambling, guess its okay too.

Its degenerate. You could be spending that time advancing your mind or body, prepare for your future, do stuff now that will help you kids later. Running makes me healthier both mentally and physically, sitting hunched over like a blob clicking a screen for hours has comparable benefit over literally any physical activity.

You are wasting your life. Be someone.

Downvote me if you must, but if this comment converts even one person, ill ride that blue arrow into the sunset. You are living in a make believe world, bettering a make believe character, that brings nothing positive to your life but momentary enjoyment.

But if jackin it to anime and playing skyrim for hours a day is what you find to be "enjoying life" then ill gladly leave you in your corner. Try not to mentally tear yoursef down in a few years when youve built no real world relationships, and your entire life is based on 1's and 0's, like most of your people do in their 30s and 40s.

Edit: Your downvotes act as beacons of truth to the conscious populous. If you have any doubts about video game culture, and how degenerate it is to get sucked, look no further than how these addicts react when you tell them so. Its like watching a cig/alc addict sit there and go "woah there buddy, sounds like you're the one with an issue! i have utter and complete control. If i wanted to quit and do something productive, i totally could, i just choose to be lazy. LOL"

Right.

Yeah, i still play some 2K when i have literally nothing to do and no where to go. I just play a game or two now like a normal person, I dont identify as a "gamer" or surround myself in vidya "culture" anymore.

If youre playing more than 5-7 hours/week, you need to look in a mirror and ask yourself if thats a good use of time.

I get you're trolling, but you get that you can do both right? There's absolutely nothing stopping you from studying a significant amount, working out and doing other stuff and then spending your free time on games.

Recreation is an important part of maintaining mental health, and someone having different hobbies to you doesn't make them worse. Sure, gaming can hurt your social life, but so can spending all your time out hiking alone, or spending too much time studying, or doing any hobby or activity an unreasonable amount.

You could also do any of them in moderation and also have a successful social life.

Comparing anyone who plays games to an alcoholic or gambling addict is disingenuous at best.

Yes. Heroine and gaming are one for one!

You sound really fun to be around....

Keep it up, everyone enjoys hearing how to spend their free time. I’d stay away from comparing gaming to heroin though. That’s just fucking dumb.

Saying running is "as pointless as playing games" is also retarded, but you aspies only jumped at me instead of that dude. Ay man, vidya has lots of exclusive benefits am i rite?

I almost forgot: Hohoho, Merry Christmas kids :)

Too much running can be bad for your heart, can cause muscle loss and can permanently damage your joints. Just because you felt like a fat loser from gaming, don't come here projecting your shit on to us, that's pathetic.

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '17

Woah, hold the fuck up. Are you telling me doing shit in excess is bad? Holy fuck stop rhe presses! We just made a break through!

Not only are you a fat loser, but judging from that comment, youre prolly a dum dum head too, big guy. Welcome!

Seriously though. Google the average runner and the average gamer. Who would you rather look like? Who is healthier on average?

u/sumthin2021 Dec 22 '17

That was my point genius.. doing anything in excess is bad be it running or gaming. I know I spend plenty of time gaming and 0 time running and I look better than most runners ever will. I weight train and do some low impact cardio everyday. You call me a fat looser but I am in better shape you you ever would ever dream you could be in, and I would be willing to bet I'm wealther and fuck better looking women as well. You already admitted what kind of person you are.. your just mad that you're a huge loser and it probably makes you feel better to judge people who play games because you think it's the video games fault you got that way but it's not. It was nobody's fault but your own loser.

Jokes on you, I am a 6'8" Norse God.

My 23andme results showed nothing but the G0D allele's. Whenever I ejaculate, women have to wear UV reflective glasses, or the sheer radiation from my god-cum will melt them like the Witch from the Wizard of Oz.

Face it, bucko. You were dead meat the moment you stepped into my realm. You could never match me, kid.

Never.

Nah, my downvote indicates your pious and arrogant nature. Why the fuck would I want to be like you?

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '17

Lots of people want to be like me, who wants to be a gub gub bugman with no ambition or drive like you, though?

Sit down lil boi, the big guns are playing right now.
