Are videogames a unhealthy habit?

[ThisIsSparta]

Just imagine how many men got stds from women and then say again how unhealthy computergames are.

Let alone the millions of men that offed themselves due to influx of women.

Well like everything things are good in moderation.

Playing games is actually good for your brain and even entrepreneurs like Elon Musk is gaming about 40-60 minutes a day playing and streaming Diablo for example. It improves your, focus, eye sight, reaction time among things.

Here is some examples:

Does gaming really improve your brain?

Answer (1 of 3): Personally I feel that games bring in a lot of unexpected good things in a gamer's life. So regarding brain I don't really know, but here are some of the things I felt in my life. - Typing speed -I used to type in a lot of GTA San Andreas Cheat codes ;) - My job is programmi...

I never was a gamer.

I'd say video games are an unhealthy habit. An increasing amount of 30+ year old men will spend their whole weekend playing video games. There's no way you can tell me that's healthy.

Drinking 2 gallons of water a day is also unhealthy. Does that mean everyone drinking water is an idiot?

Every alcoholic drank water, once upon a time. Water is just a stepping stone...

Yeah, so is kissing. It starts with one harmless kiss and before you can warn them, people end up fvcking and catching HIV.
Kissing needs to be banned too! Its DANGEROUS!

It starts with holding hands...

Not necessarily an idiot.

Nor does video game addiction make you an idiot. Video game addiction (past a certain age) is simply pathetic.

Literally anything can be an unhealthy habit in context of excess

I urge any video game naysayers to check out Stalker 2. Hell, if you have a high end PC it's worth a buy, especially considering the devs are Ukranian, i'm sure they could use the help.

For an open-world game with light RPG elements, it's not that long nor does it have those cancerous "grinding" mechanics. The world and its environment is brimming with SOUL instead of the typical plastic, pointless, uncaring environments with nothing interesting to see or do except filler. The game world feels like a REAL, lived in environment with a sense of purpose.

Looks like it only takes about 30 hours to beat the main story, or 60 for a full completionist run. You cannot possibly tell me anyone can't spare 5-10 hrs a week to play a game like this and beat it in a month or two. Get the hell out of here.

I truly believe games like Stalker, Dishonored, Deus Ex, Bioshock, etc are in fact art and their stories and world building rival some of the best films and books. The fantastic Russian novel "Roadside Picnic" from 1970s was turned into a film "Stalker" that same decade, then decades later the Stalker games were based off both of these. If someone tries to tell me it's as much of a waste of time to play this game as it is to read the book, you're an absolute clown. These games are art and if anyone disagrees with me, they're wrong.

It's pretty pathetic for any age, and it tires me that the word "gamer" is associated with toxic, cancerous PVP games like Call of Duty or LoL, or mind numbing "forever games" like Minecraft.

The best games the single player games with polish and soul, worldbuilding lore, interesting characters, beautiful aesthetics, with a fixed length of maybe 5-30 hrs or so. These games are basically impossible to get "addicted" to. But these are never the types of games people associate with a "gamer" sadly, instead it's been associated with hyper autistic Minecraft or LoL gamers who sicken me.

The problem is not video games, the problem is the fat, unattractive, man child, beta who is playing video games. If you remove video games, the same guy remains, so no, video games are not the problem.

I believe that he might have encountered such people that he retaliated by saying that he prefers to play video games and would neglect meeting people. We should respect it as we don't know who he came across in his life.

I don't see anything bad in good video games that doesn't have negative effects and isn't in excess in human life. I found more friends with whom I played practically every day and communicated.

Otherwise when we still have harder levels and we get angry, we use StealthCore Apex Hack to get over it

 

[bella_gray14]

Exactly! We can even make some friends who are far better than those who are physically there with us. Thus, I also prefer to spend more time on video games than spending it with the two-faced people.
