Funny, I didn't ask you
Shut up mom!
I don't let what people say get to me when they comment on video games. If I'm happy doing it, it doesn't matter what people say about it. But if someone expects me to answer their comment about video...more
That they just haven't found the right game for them yet.
That's just like, your opinion, man. If you're feeling adventurous, you're welcome to:
So is watching sports but you don't see me telling you that
So is your lawn but you still mow it!
As video games have evolved, they can be a good source of:
-Social interaction (especially for introverts like me) and in-person interaction with co-op games for friends/families
-Critical thin...more
Ok boomer.
I don’t have people like that in my life lol. We don’t need that negativity here.
I typically just shrug and say "oh well. What I do in my free time ain't hurting you."
Video games are what motivated me to get into computer science, so...
Don’t yuck my yum, man.
Ask them what they do for fun and immediately tell them it’s a waste of time and laugh at them. If they don’t have a hobby I tell them they need to go apologize to trees for wasting the oxygen the...more
I mean… Ive gotten paid to stream games before.
If you can get paid to have fun, I wouldn’t call that a waste.
What the f bro
I've got 3 Quotes for them...depending on the person...
1. "A life without festivity is a long road without an inn." - Democritus
2. "Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a mer...more
Nothing because explaining it to them would be a waste of time.
Okay Karen
It’s usually said to me by someone who plays games of some kind (cards, etc). I usually just explain to them that it’s basically the same thing. That it also allows you to play those games with fr...more
So are you but yet here we are....lol
It's my only hobby, let people enjoy things.
At least it's not drugs.
Mostly just smile and nod or ignore them. Not worth engaging.
If this was a real life situation with a rando, I'd probably assume that person doesn't know how to play, and is lashing out irrationally. So I'd move on.
But if it's someone I know and want to take ...more
Depends on the person,
Either I throw back something general about how other things can be a waste of time or I get personal if for example it's one of those unfriendly Facebook boomers...
Or I'...more
I don’t say much. I just disagree. You are not going to change someone’s mind that thinks this way.
They are cathartic and don't hurt you. It's my free time.
I once wrote a college paper, and got published, about how video games build hand-eye coordination in doctors and other professionals that need fine motor skills.
Also, folks like me use it for stre...more
To echo what @dosandres said, games aren’t inherently a waste of time; they’re only a waste when we allow them to take precedence over our responsibilities.
Additionally I’d point out that ther...more
So is your existence (just kidding).
Depends on how it comes up in the conversation. But more than likely, I just move on with my day.
Honestly, nothing. I just go about my business.
Show them scientific research on why that’s false 🤷♂️
Explain that not every hobby is for everyone.
Taking a cue from Tidus and Yuna, just laughing at them. You can't convince someone who has formed preconceived notions. Just move along with your day.
I say, "Whatever, Mom!"
But spending hours destroying your mind and soul on TikTok, porn, and alcohol is ok? Riiiiiight.
It’s only a waste of time if you are not prioritizing other parts of your life when they need to ...more
Time is a construct. Wasted time is a perspective. To someone with no inclination to have a family children are a waste of time. Have a good day
Nothing and move on. All hobbies can be considered a waste of time by someone. No need to argue about something you enjoy.
Coming soon.
