there's worse ways to spend your time
1. It's not very different than movies and whatnot.
2. The need for "constantly doing something productive" is capitalist prosperity gospel bullshit. Just do whatever makes you happy. Not every moment of your existence has to be used for "optimization".

Yeah i get what you mean, i do feel lazy / unproductive though cause im not working or studying atm
It all comes down to moderation, watching Netflix, movies, reading fiction books ECT can all be wastes of time as well, as long as you don't let it consume too much of your time who cares. He speaks on his experience because he was addicted to quake lol.
He's right in that it's dangerous because they're fun and you can be tempted to waste more time but any form of entertainment can be a waste

Having goals is not bad. I am not saying to be lazy your entire life. Entertainment as a form of pleasure is nothing bad though, it only becomes bad if it consumes your entire life.
People will say stuff about video games but binge watch every show. There's no real difference in my view.

Facts

Exactly bro. I went to school with someone who would constantly bash video games but she would literally watch Netflix and be on her phone nonstop. Like people don’t see the hypocrisy behind saying s*** like that
Gaming is just that; a game.
Yes it’s fun, and you have good memories with friends.
But what did you expect? No, it’s not “productive”, but it’s a good time.
This can get quite philosophical quite fast, but...
What’s the point of anything?
I mean the most happiest time of my life is when I stopped playing video games and traveled while getting paid I came back to play in moderation tho ... but this can be said about anything take it all in moderation

Literally this man, I love gaming so much but there’s always a moment where you end up thinking whats the point of this ??? S*** gets mad philosophical and deep like why anything but in the end I remember it’s something that brings me enjoyment like other things can’t
Who is this guy? idk people watch him. He's ass.
It's true in that you could be doing more productive things with your time, but you're still getting enjoyment from it so
Same would apply to binging a show or watching a movie, etc
Or watching the Joe Rogan podcast

Watching saints football especially
Joe Rogan has spent a lot of his ADULT life smoking, getting high.
I'm good on him telling young people how to entertain themselves.
If you enjoy what your doing who tf cares. You could always do something more productive with your time. But sometimes you just need to relax and get some entertainment. As long as you use all your time gaming it’s cool
As long as you are doing productive things that benefit your life, then using your free time to play games is normal. What the difference if I spend my 5 free hours a days to play games instead of anything else? Its my source of fun.
But those that wake up, play games until night, then go to sleep, only leaving their rooms to eat and s*** have a real problem ngl.
