But as long as you put in sufficient effort into school so that your main goals are met and you play SC on your free time, then I think it's completely acceptable. | ||

Life has no intrinsic purpose and we are all just carbon-based flesh sacks under the delusion that what we are doing day in and day out is connected to some chain of events that will eventually bear some sort of relevency to the universe, never considering that our means never truly fulfill any ultimate ends but only feed into other futile efforts to make some sort of mark on a small planet that will one day be returned to the space dust from whence it came along with all other matter in the universe. Starcraft is pretty fun, though. That basically describes exactly how I feel about life. It's utterly pointless but it doesn't make it any less enjoyable! | ||

I would not be the same person today if I did not play SC, regardless of how entertaining it was | ||

so, when you divide your time to joy and something productive, then for joy you can do whatever brings you that thing | ||

In that sense, SC is a waste of time since most skills you learn in SC are not transferable to school or can be better learned from other methods. But as long as you put in sufficient effort into school so that your main goals are met and you play SC on your free time, then I think it's completely acceptable. or you're me and you use starcraft as a means of achieving your goals hahaha sup i just owned the whole forum | ||

a) I thoroughly enjoy it so it creates that happy feeling, makes me more productive b) it complements studying a lot better than other past times since you can easily watch a VOD while taking a 10-15 minute break or just speed browsing TL, this in contrast to watching TV series or movies since I tend to get hooked really fast, the result being me ending up watching 10 episodes of Stargate and not studying a damn thing. It just complements "useful" things really well for me personally. | ||

Anyone who thinks SC is a waste of time is mad. I would not be the same person today if I did not play SC, regardless of how entertaining it was If you enjoy what you're doing, it's not wasting any time. But I'm pretty sure SC doesn't build character | ||

The question is sorta ambigous, because the current "Work" you're doing might not be actually leading you to the goal that you want. You must first realize your goal and then decide if what you're doing is the "work" leading up to it. But in all honesty, you should probably enjoy the work leading up to your goal anyways. (But not always though, sometimes of course there will be boring moments). | ||
