Games today aint the same as it was 1999.

Chit cost hundreds of millions to develop and its catered to people of all ages.

I don't see why you would want to quit gaming, if anything, its a great time passer.

In my opinion, they're equal in a way, but lately video games have been getting dumbed down and not the creative masterpieces they used to be. Even then video games were the scapegoat for everything wrong with children back then, hahaha. People who single out video games are usually people who have never touched a controller in their lives and are stuck up, ignorant, and miserable.
There are still great videogames being made, but thats all opinion. I'm not saying everyone should like videogames or play them, I'm just saying that calling it a waste of time while still doing other forms of entertainment that just as easily a waste of time is not fair. And as a gamer I'm really tired of seeing it

Used to play games a lot (6+ hours a day) when I was 10-18 or so. Looking back it was a way of escaping reality because I wasn't happy with life, when I got more interesting hobbies and a job I just eventually stopped playing games, I didn't have to make a conscious decision it just happened.

Gaming is a waste of time unless you're a youtube 'celebrity' or twice streamer and making money out of it

Because other hobbies actually help and improve your life.

Sports = increase your health and vitality, get better at the sport, sense of achievement, develop teamwork
Cars = Learn to fix things, able to help friends and family, increase knowledge of mechanics, don't get ripped off by mechanic
Fitness / running = Increase health, develop discipline, better body and better mood
Cooking = Save money on eating out, impress friends and family, creativity
Drawing / art = Creativity, makes you smarter
Reading = Develope vocabulary, smarter (Scientifically proven), opens your mind to different views and opinions
Videogames = Call each other ******* over the internet and argue with 10 year olds

I would agree videogames dont compare as a hobby in that sense, but as entertainment compared to tv, movies etc. its the same thing

Even hobbies, its all about what makes you happy. if its videogames or sports or whatever dont see the big deal its all relative

Use to be heavily addicted, then went to Path of Exile past few years content got boring doing same chit over and over. Now I play Hearthstone maybe 30 mins a day every 2-3 days if that. There's nothing to keep me interested anymore like the days in early WoW where I'd be on the comp 7-10 hours daily. Gaming has slowly died for me, lost interest.

Quit console gaming years ago, but I've transitioned into wasting my time playing online poker and apps on my smartphone to waste time. So not really sure I can say I "quit gaming" but I definitely spend less time now than I did playing games on console that took weeks to complete to finish.

At the core its not really about video games. You can quit the games, but you'll likely fill the void with something else. What you really have to ask yourself is... is what you're doing or anything you've done really made your life better?

I used to play tons of video games, and what i really found is that it, and many things like it, are an addiction/habit to cure the boredom you have in your life. And at the core of that, is general dissatisfaction with your own life and often times a lack of awareness about what life has to offer... how great your life could be.

It's a lot easier to keep the status quo (the games and addiction) than to set some goals, branch out, put yourself in uncomfortable growth situations, and really start living. Stop working from the outside-in (instant gratification sources) and start working from the inside-out. Stop putting your life on hold and what you really want for the feel good in the moment (that's fleeting and does create long-term happiness and joy).

I don't think you'll notice a drastic improvement from stopping. It's how you utilize that time after that will change everything. Don't let it turn to misc'ing all day.

Nope. I love video games to ever quit permanently.

I don't play as much. Still playing Pokemon Go because I've only played it for a month or so.

I see there's still a lot of stigma regarding video games when it's actually one of the biggest industries in the world. It's moved beyond being a nerd hobby to mainstream entertainment. Be it, PC/console games or flappy bird or ******** casino games, everyone including your grandma plays video games in one form or another.

Agreed there is a lot of stigma... and maybe the focus is a little unfair. But... our addictive instant gratification culture is terrible for us. Phones/TV/Internet/Games are at the forefront of that chit.

To each their own. The more I see of life the more I'd rather just read and play video games. Not interested in much out there.

I just got out of my first ever relationship, thats one thing I really wanted to experience and even that turned out ultimately to be a waste of time

You sound like your stuck in no-mans land... Not happy... but not unhappy enough to do anything about it.

Also... people often make the mistake of thinking that somehow a relationship or a special person is going to enter their lives and all will be perfect. That's a very media/hollywood view of the world. That's just not how it works. But society as a whole is so brainwashed on that idea that we just fall into a circular loop of BS because of it without ever once taking a step back and thinking that the foundation is cracked.

lol at people who haven't learned the concept of time management. it's all about the balance.

you can't develop and work on life-enhancing, health-benefitting hobbies while still making time to play games, watch tv, etc? must suck.

could only understand if you're working like 60+ hour weeks or some high-demanding career like that, which i doubt many miscers are anyways.

What is there to lol about? 95% of the people on this planet have huge issues with balance, focus, and completing meaningful tasks. It is a huge problem for most people. Worse, is the fact that most people beat themselves up for their continual failure. Some to the point that they've killed all desire to try because they're convinced their efforts will be fruitless.

Never really a gamer but played League of Legends a lot the past year but realized its a waste of time because im not enjoying playing with these 12 year old brain dead kids that insult me like they are the biggest pros out there. I swear the LoL community is full of little brats that need a azz whooping.
