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.
>>36 You think the vomit that's thrown up on DeviantArt isn't art either? But it's certainly articulated through an artistic medium. Is art simply anything that's evocative, or is it anything articulated through a medium that's hallowed and sanctified by a rich history of things that are evocative and codified as art by association.

>>40 If you put a paintbrush in an art gallery it is art. That is the lesson of Duchamp.
>>42 So was Fountain art because its being put in the museum was polarizing or because of the ethos that a museum provides?

Duchamp is "modern" art which basically proclaims "everything i do is art, because reasons" resulting in shitty content(and with "Artists shit" literally this).
>>44 I don't understand your point. Duchamp is a dadaist and a reactionary, and you're making broad generalizations. And if you don't think that "She is Hot in the Ass" isn't at least vaguely amusing for the place it's presented in--well, I don't know what else to say. >>45 I would call cherry picking, but I have yet to understand what exactly your point is.

>>46 The point today you can call videogames art, because the standard for art is incredibly low. Something like "interactive performance art" is below playing a videogame.
>>60 At least with video games (as expensive as they can be sometimes), you don't end up in massive debt.

>>62 Gaming skills are useless by themself but allow better reaction time and control(hand-eye coordination) that is beneficial when engaging in physical works. I'm sure only a fraction of gaming skills can transfer to real-world usage, and its mostly games simulating some realistic scenario or quick reaction/precision skills.

>>66 That's just what gamers say. It's not actually true.
>>74 It's also propaganda from mainstream films and television. Feminization is a state of mind.

>>78 True. But even in the Asian nations where soy is most consumed, the majority of the population is still heterosexual, so there are other factors involved.
>>78 No it hasn't. Neither have the so-called xestrogens. Your body is very very good at filtring out toxins and excess. You are being memed on by kikes who want to demoralize you.
