  • Not really a waste if it’s the entertainment you enjoy the most. I’m not sure what you envision as gaming, but there are all types. Some are violence and conflict, but some are stories, some are just cooperative, some are puzzles.

    Do you view tv, reading, radio, podcasts as all waste of time? Do you think all entertainment is a waste of time? If so you’re at least ideologically consistent, but I disagree and think humans need entertainment in their lives, for stress release etc. Different people will enjoy different entertainment, and with the caveat of it not harming other people, I don’t think it should be subject to gatekeeping.



  • Sure. I do have some benefits that help, like a WFH schedule, but even on the work in office days I can do games that don’t require a ton of time, like a few Monster Hunter hunts (3-12 mins a hunt) or a few Warframe missions, but thats usually because I don’t cook those days, don’t exercise,and I have no kids and don’t really do other entertainment except reading, podcasts and some of those I do while gaming. When I read I often don’t game same day.

    I used to game more, but had less sleep, so I do less in work from office days. WFH days I get much more time (2-2.5 hours not spent driving/getting ready), plus I can sometimes play less intense games while working, on short breaks, during lunch, etc. I do usually exercise and cook those days, but even then there’s time. I don’t go out often except for the exercise though.
