Whats the point of playing video games if youre not the best of the best?
You either have to be a streamer or a competitive pro player, or else this is all just meaningless shit and we're wasting our time.
Im not even kidding

Give me a real answer

...Are you serious? Do you also want to watch movies or TV shows expecting something in return? Money? Of course it's valid to play games to have fun without worrying about not being the best of the best or without being a streamer, consume content related to entertainment (games, music, movies, books...) without getting something other than satisfaction/entertainment/fun is an activity that people do all the time.

Entertainment exists to help you relax after doing something productive and worthwhile. If your actual profession is so utterly banal and pointless you don't need to seek relaxation elsewhere then gaming is pointless since you have a pointless existence and provide nothing of value to society. Stop wasting time on entertainment and improve yourself so you can lead a worthwhile life, and then you'll understand why taking time to decompress and relax matters to real adults.

You have to find that answer yourself anon.

just play games that require no skill like gambling or visual novels
>>
>>751346669
You're right if you're not literally perfect might as well not do anything and just rope, there's no point, it's over.

>>751346669
People used to read books and not tell anyone. They didn’t care, it wasn’t for show.

life is nothing more than filling your time until you drop dead, thats it.
you either enjoy it or you dont

>>751346947
Trying to compare TV/movies to video games is retarded. Your argument is retarded.
You can become a pro competitive gamer but not a pro competitive tv watcher. Go fuck yourself dumbass

You eat food but I doubt you’re a championship competitive eater.
>>
>>751348658
Yeah but food actually tastes good and its a requirement to survive you stupid nigger

>Whats the point of playing video games
Stress relief? Tickles the imagination? Shakes our brain out of a rut? What are we supposed to be angry at?
>>
>>751348738
food tastes good
and video games are fun

>>751346669
Video game happy
Food happy
Sleep happy

>>751348791
Yep, there it is, the "video games are fun" cope
>>
>>751346669
Are all hobbies meaningless then? Or is there a reason you’re singling out video games?

Why are you even playing games if you're not having fun, fuck off and do something else.

No, if you have a hobby like art and sell your artwork, I dont think thats a waste of time.
Or if you make music and sell it or even get a small amount of donations from supporters each month its worth it.
You just straight up dont get shit from video games

Back in my day people drew stuff and posted it for free and the world was better.

>>751352302
What's the point of buying music? For fun? Why should I buy music? And if I shouldn't buy music, why would anyone make music?

Even that would be better and more productive than video games
>>
>>751355321
Well yes producing things is necessarily more productive than dicking around for fun in virtual worlds. Those things aren't necessarily mutually exclusive but the idea that everything needs to be a second job is nonsense.

I don't think this hobby is for you. As a matter of fact, I don't think any hobbies are for you.
