Wanted to fully experience life!
Grew up gaming. Stopped gaming for twenty years. Now I game again. I’ve had a great time. Climbed mountains. Traveled. All manner of relationships. Built a nice career. Now I find I can enjoy games without that, I’m wasting my life feeling.
All humans “waste” time. It’s odd to say reading is better than games. Or movies are better than TV. They’re all just mediums to convey stories. And really, there aren’t many original stories, just the same ones told over and over in different ways.
At least with games, you are actively participating rather than passively consuming. And yes I do read lots of complicated books, and watch fine cinema, and great television.
But I also garden, birding, botany, camp, etc.
Jellyfin does.
