Videogames are trash

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.

A paintbrush isn't art.

Well, it would be construed as a piece of art to an artisan who crafts paintbrushes. The point, really, is that art is an end to a means. If a paintbrush is the means, then the end is what's on the canvas; if the means is crafting a wooden rod and fastening horse hairs or whatever onto that, then the paintbrush would be the end and thus art, in that context.

If the means is a means, and the art is also a means and there is no end, then what's the point of living?
