I lean toward “efficient entertainment”, but I do sometimes wonder what that chunk of my free time would look like otherwise.

    TL;DR :

    -There are good games and bad games but both are inferior to movies since videogames are “the lowest entertainment for pleb in most cases”

    -Good games entertain you

    -Bad games entertain you, buuuuuut they are bad games


    Damn, you sound like that one asshole elitist teacher

      I just like to face reality and not pretend that dopamine escapism is cool. Sorry if that personally hurt you but it’s better to be self aware and still do the thing than delusional that it is the same as more worthwhile forms of time spending.

        Dopamine escapism IS cool. It’s fucking amazing we can hack our electric meat that hallucinates “reality” and has cool memetic self reproductive patterns.

        Pretending we’re anything but wet sacks of chemical reactions is weird to me…
