what is there to even be gained from playing video games? unless you're a notable streamer or made it in esports, you're basically just wasting your limited time alive. why not better spend that time towards learning actual skills you can actually make use of?

what did you gain from making this dogshit thread?

it's a leisure activity.
so the same thing you gain from any leisure activity.
and better for your mind than spending your free time on social media. low bar I know but I feel like it needs to be said.
>>
Well that's where you're wrong OP, people here don't even play video games, they just waste their time for free.
>>
What would be a better use of my time, then

Playing VR first person shooters while wearing wrist weights. My IRL shooting skill has increased.
I have a game called, "Piano Vision" for my Meta Quest 3. Pretty much a piano learning game.
I also learn Japanese language while playing games in the Japanese language.

I'm not very fond of trans people I must admit, I hope none of you are trans.

It’s helped my hand eye coordination tremendously, which has aided me in my pursuit to learn drawing. Plus it teaches you puzzle solving, perseverance, and the value of relaxing.

>>728525367
Playing games like The Last of Us 2 taught me how to forgive and that revenge is not the answer.

im not rich so even if i stopped playing videogames my time isnt going to be spent on anything notable anyway
>>
>>728526090
+ it’s helped me a ton with language learning. Putting a video game in your target language is a quick way to learn

>>728525367
You’re correct, this is a realization any man comes to once he reaches maturity. The question is will you accept it, swallow your pride and find fulfillment elsewhere, or will you continue to deny it and chase hedonistic pleasures that will never satisfy but always leave you wanting. Wisdom does not beget growth. Growth comes after wisdom, with action. The choice is yours.

I have always wanted to learn how to play piano, but lessons were too expensive for me. Does this actually work?

fun
>>
Literally nothing. Dont kid yourself.
I just enjoy it and its pleasant and engaging way to pass the time.
I'm learning japanese ok the side just for something productive to do. I really believe you need to have something going on like that, even if its only like 20 minutes a day. A job alone isnt enough.
>>
>>728525807
>>728526342
Also curious if you’re still able to play once the headset is off. I’d assume you wouldn’t be. I played as a kid but forgot how to.
>>
>>728525367
/v/ isn't ready to admit this is true, mostly since the majority of them aren't even trying to slot in productivity to at least make up for their wasted time.
>>
>>728526156
What is this high and mighty bullshit.
>find fulfillment elsewhere
by waxing poetical on the board for the thing you swore off of?

How is whining about video games on 4chan any better than just playing video games? How is that a better use of time? If you were truly wise, you wouldn't be here. None of us would!
>>
>>728525367
Explain what your point even is here faggot
show me THREE (3) people on this board the play vidya
>>
If I go look around boards for other ultimately-unproductive hobbies, will I find you asking this to them too?

Or are you only making this thread here for some reason?
>>
>>728525367
>what is there to even be gained from playing video games?

Pleasure. The most valuable thing in life.
>>
>>728526421
Fun is fleeting and meant to fill an empty void where more productive uses of one's time could go.

>>728525367
i don't choose game, game choose me, no pussy no productivity, abolish woman right, hanged every redditor and their mom.

Let me guess, like learning an instrument or language? Are you one of those guys with an acoustic guitar that's been sitting in the corner of your room for a decade? Do you see an anon post a screencap with German in it and accept that as an invitation to flex your basic conversational fluency in an off topic reply chain that no one else in the thread can understand?
>>
>>728525367
why would i learn actual skills and basically waste my limited time alive when i can have fun playing vidya?
>>
>>728525367
Its called entertainment for a reason dumbass
