>Flight, at minimum $100 usually way more>Hotel, at least $100, usually more>Money on food, attractions, whatever, minimum $100>Travel throughout the trip, another $100Meanwhile >Library of Ruina, a game that gave me a hundred hours of enjoyment, $20>Dlc for a character in my favorite fighting game, $7Whats the incentive to travel when other activities are infinitely cheaper?
>>85276766Even better, Terraria, usually $1-5, with thousands of hours of content.
>>85276766Don't forget the possibility of being robbed, assaulted/murdered, imprisoned, infected with parasites/disease, and still having to deal with filthy normalfags no matter where you go.It's pretty hilarious how much normies spend on traveling, just to live the same way they do at home, or even worse. Many of my coworkers spend thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars on traveling and accomodations each year. They constantly bug me about when and where I'll take a vacation but all that money goes into savings, with the goal of purchasing land instead. Their short sightedness is incredible. Meanwhile I can spend $20 on a game that will entertain me for hundreds of hours, or just watch endless anime for free.
>>85276766Video games honestly ruined humans. It's better than sex, travel, career fulfillment, having kids, love, food, sleep
>>85276766People generally travel so they can have sex (yes especially women)
>>85276999Gaming is just a cope for how empty modern life is. The first gamers were nerds with no social or love lives. In the following decades life has gotten worse, less fulfilling, so more and more people have taken it up to cope.The only thing that would get me to stop gaming is owning land to homestead on. Modern/city life is intolerable if you're not a normalfag, so video games are my way of escaping from it. There is nothing enjoyable in a city outside of my apartment. If I could live a real life in the country where I have room, solitude, and freedom to enjoy physical pasttimes, then I wouldn't need gaming to cope.Having kids would also get me to stop, but I won't have kids as long as I live in an urban hellscape. Sex ain't shit and I often would neglect my exes to game. Travel is expensive and pointless. Fuck careers, I want to homestead and work for myself. Love is stupid unless it's love for your kids. Food is fuel, not entertainment. Sleep is good but gaming doesn't compete with it for me.
