Seriously, I don’t get it. It’s just a thing people do. Sometimes to an extreme… but if you are a extreme sports fan or extreme traveler… that’s ‘cool’. Meanwhile your mild dorky video game habit makes you persona non grata if people find out or you talk about it in public.
It’s 2025. I don’t understand.
I can see maybe the parent of a child seeing games as unproductive.
But as an adult it’s a good way to unwind like listening to good music or watching a movie. As long as it’s only for a few hours though, as games can go on and on and on. Some people over do it, and some people have even died from lack of food or breaks.
I really enjoy games, buy them whenever I see them at the thrift stores if I don’t already have the game. Now I have many thousands of games, and no worry about the game companies taking them away from me because these are physical.
