[QUOTE=theoneceko;932851][COLOR="#00FF00"]it's a poor substitute though, don't you think?[/COLOR][/QUOTE]
[VOTE][/VOTE][QUOTE=Marshmallow Marshall;932945]Of course it is. It's not supposed to be a substitute; if it is, you have a problem. It should just be a source of pleasure, without replacing the rest of "life improvement". I doubt anyone would say the opposite lol[/QUOTE]
Why? As long as you can provide for your own basic needs, what is wrong with getting fulfillment from video games? Isn’t endlessly pursuing self-improvement towards perfection not just an unachievable goal, but also something that is pointlessly making you feel shitty about yourself?
Like I enjoy working out, but if someone hated it, and was willing to accept both the health risks and social repercussions of being a fatass, then what is wrong with them living that way?
Like im no therapist but my perspective on this thread from ceko is that you want to live your life a certain way. For whatever reason you feel badly about it and tell yourself you shouldn’t… but let’s be real - are you actually going to change? If not, what’s the point of constantly scolding yourself for it?
