Videogames are trash

Name: Anonymous 2017-09-11 11:18

I'm thinking all this time playing and developing video games is wasted.
Video games are catering to the same zombie-TV experience and dopamine addiction roller-coaster of movie industry. Video game skills are shit and people get way unhealthier with them.
Like when you game, you don't mind eating shit food and pretend you live in the game.
But you can't live in the game or escape from life like that. Escapism is bullshit: the "We reject your reality" cliche is not about freedom, just denial.
Videogames are most degenerative brain functionality i've seen, people warp their minds around the game and plan their life towards better playtime, as if the game was really important. All these speedrunners, progamers, elite players are not gaining anything valuable,
they just adapt their brains into reflexive "game reality" instead of real life.

>it's not time well spent
Why? If you enjoyed it, you spent your time doing something enjoyable. When you are at the deathbed, you will be like "at least I enjoyed my time" not "oy I wish I'd spent more of my life experiencing how shitty the world is". Life is pretty much shitty and has no possibility of achievement since you are always saddled with a bone bag that will decay over time, rendering everything you do worthless, so it is a lower quality experience than video games which are built around the possibility of meaningful achievement.
