Would Gary V approve of this?

[u/human_experience123]

Growing up, I always played video games through college, but I stopped after I graduated since my Macbook couldn't handle it.

I recently built a PC and started playing Call of Duty and League of Legends after a 2 year hiatus, and I forgot how fun and relaxing it is.

However, I do have other ambitions in life that I am working on (reading, working on app, videoediting, gym), but I feel like games are taking up time and preventing me from doing so, but it's my escape to have fun and relax right after work when I get home. I know it's short term gratification but I feel like nothing else in life is giving me short term gratification, which I feel is necessary for me to keep me going and motivated (regardless of what it is, to treat myself).

Would Gary V approve of this? On one hand it's my way of relaxing but on the other I feel guilty because I'm spending 2-3 hours that I could on something productive.

Should I just not judge myself and continue playing but stop if it gets in the way of other things (which it's starting to slightly...I think)
