Activities a lot of people spend a LOT of time on in a similar category to gaming include: -Watching series and movies -Watching sports -Reading entertainment litterature -Browsing social media, follow influencers Some are more serious about gaming, and have it as a hobby, and might even have important social relations in gaming. Then, it would be closer to activities like: -Organized sports -Excercise, beyond what your body needs. -Studying something for your own enjoyment -Hunting, collecting, clubbing, crafting, refurbishing or any other hobby people have for mostly selfish reasons. So, what is a "waste of time", really? If playing a game adds enough to your life according to your personal preferences, then why not go for it? Especially sinking mindless hours into the 4 first categories can arguably be WORSE than playing an demnding, competetive RTS. | ||

If not, the money in it is irrelevant, a lot of us play football or other sports, it s so many billions dollars worldwide but it doesnt matter because we re not making any money of it, if anything we re losing money by paying for season fees etc. Leonix it comes down to what you like to do, if you enjoy the game at times (any game) then i d argue it s worth it for you, personally. It could be chess, playing an instrument, having a drink, whatever, that s your life. Not anything has to be money making or grand standing. Sure if you could cure cancer or play bw, perhaps cancer research should come first but otherwise do what you want with your time. There is no meaning to existence but what we make of it  This. With most hobbies (including competition or not), you just end up spending more and more money on equipment etc. until you go pro. | ||

I really shouldn't have to explain what is and isn't sarcasm to long time TL members. Perhaps to a new member and/or snowflake I would have to, then I will. | ||

On April 13 2023 18:45 Peeano wrote: Meanwhile chess is still racist, black vs white. Fallacious assumption about the creator's intentions. Even if true (which is impossible to tell), chess was racist. Back on topic. I play StarCraft and occasionally chess, and I still have time to finish my PhD. The issue is when you invest excessive time on a game. | ||
