    Yes, as long as he meets his obligations and isn't complaining about his place in life. A big part of life is being happy. If he meets his responsibilities. Can take care of himself and likes to blow off steam in video games.

    Who the hell am I to say that's wrong? I used to do that quite a bit and only stopped because I wanted to radically shift my life which was going to require more of my energy. I haven't seriously played games in over two years.

    I'm in a position now to where I can do that again now and it fit in with my life and I intend to lol. Plan to drop $1k into a nice gaming laptop, specialty headset, mouse and a 1 year subscription of World of Warcraft. It's going to be amazing lol.

    Haven't done it yet tho. Putting it off to handle a few adulting matters. But I'm still gonna go out. Still have a dating life. Still going to travel. Still workout. Still work. Still experience life outside of it.

    To me there's little difference between someone who reads for pleasure and someone who plays videogames. at least videogames require goal setting, accomplishments and community. Reading you're just tuning out from the world but for some reason we only judge video games

    In my opinion, I think if he's making a lot of money off of it like pewdiepie, markiplier, or other reactors yes I think that's good for them and they can work from home from there cuz they're working and they're having fun at the exact same time. And I stay by this quote it says" do what you love not do it for the money"but if he just playing games and he has no job then he needs to get up and get a job while he can play on the game on the weekends or when he has time. Also my opinion I think if they are too much on the game and they only spend time on the game unless likely on his girlfriend or his boyfriend then he needs to get off the game in the game shouldn't be nowhere in the house.

    Sure. So long as they don't be consumed by it. Playing video games is a hobby and I'm all for people having hobbies. But there has to be balance.

    Of course it is. I play video games on a fairly regular basis, it's a hobby for me, just the same as reading, writing, watching films and listening to music. It's not my only hobby by any means, I also perform improvised comedy (in the pre-Covid world at least), I've made short films, and I run a pretty popular social group in my city and co-run another national one. But video games are a fun way to spend time, and there are plenty of games out there that are specifically aimed at adults because of the content in them, whether it be violence, language, or sex.

    The problem is when someone, adult or child, is playing video games to the detriment of their day-to-day life. If someone is spending 12 hours a day playing games and not working, only getting up to eat or use the toilet, and not bothering to form meaningful interactions with other people or try doing something else once in a while, then yes, that is a problem. But as part of a healthy life balance there's no difference between playing games for three hours or watching a fairly long movie or reading a book for three hours.

    Yes, grown women too, otherwise they are boring (to me anyway).

    Entertainment matters, no one sits there questioning whether or not an adult should spend a frequent amount of time watching tv, and yet video games are a superior form or entertainment because of the interactivity, but for whatever reason a few people think it's childish.

    Most adult men either play video games, sports, or both, and want a girl who does also.
    granted I personally hate sports because it's a repetative, boring waste of time that provides no mental stimulation and risks injury, but to each their own.

    So I have a better question, do you think it's ok for a grown woman to be controlling or judgmental over other adult's choices in entertainment? Because I don't.

    Do you think it's ok for an adult to watch TV regularly? Movies? Read? If the answer to any of those is "yes", then it's a yes for this one as well.
    I really don't get why society looks down on video games as somehow being an "inferior" form of entertainment...
    "You spend an hour before bed reading books? God, it's really time to grow up!" If you think that sounds ridiculous but not when it's about video games, then your intelligence level is medically worrying...

    Absolutely 100% nothing wrong with this. It's a great stress reliever and away to escape from the world for an hour or few.

    Most people still live a functional normal life and can juggle video games with obligations in the real world (work, family/relationships, chores). I think people that are addicted to videogames have a deeper underlying issue

    What do you mean by regularly? If it’s something that he enjoys from time to time, that’s fine. If he spends all of his free time on it, that’s a bit annoying. If it gets in the way of his ability to spend time with people he cares about, or interferes with his productivity, that’s ridiculous.


    An hour ish a day is fine. Past that I think it starts to get a bit unhealthy. And adults shouldn’t get mad and throw tantrums about losing either.

    As long as important stuff is getting done and it's not causing problems financially or otherwise it's an ok addiction in my opinion.
    There has to be a good mix of actual physical unwind and mental/virtual unwind. I don't want to be with a couch potato that only plays video games but playing video games isn't bad if in moderation. Even an hour or two a day as long as they are not a slob and get regular exercise I may even play the game with them.

    It is okay as long as video games don't mess with their responsibilities as grown ups.

    It is also important to remember not to make video games as the only meaning for their lives. Video games are just short term meaningless pleasures.

    True meaning in life comes from having families, romantic partners, and friends.

      "... responsibilities as grown-ups". Like settling that divorce with the vindictive ex-wife? Slaving away in a coal mine at a job that is likely to shorten your lifespan by 20 years? Being stuck in traffic-jams for hours on end every day in the sweltering heat? Having children who not only do not appreciate your efforts to raise them, but who are outright rebellious and have the government on their side? Mortgages, rent and debt in general?
      Yeah thanks, but NO thanks! You can keep your "responsibilities", I would rather play a great (off-line) strategy game! :)

      Most girls aren't vindictive or bitchy. Here's the thing, don't be stupid so that you won't choose a shitty bitchy girl for a wife. There's plenty of fine girls out there and they are mostly the majority.

      "Slaving away in a coal mine at a job that is likely to shorten your lifespan by 20 years?"

      That's why we go to College so we will have financially secure healthy meaningful professional white collar jobs that is harmonious with our personal lives and leisure activities like being a doctor, a computer scientist, an engineer, etc. Menial workers are losers if they don't work hard to go to College.

      "Being stuck in traffic-jams for hours on end every day in the sweltering heat?"

      That's a very small problem to endure for a very meaningful life full of friends, families, a wife, and a meaningful professional white collar job.

      Also, most children aren't like that. Plus, the rebellious immature ones mostly mature and change once they reach early adulthood.

      "Mortgages, rent and debt in general?"

      That's why we go to College and work hard to get professional meaningful white collar jobs. Our professional white collar jobs will pay off those mortgages, rents, and debts in return.

      Seriously, going to college is mostly and fundamentally the reason why we go to elementary and highschool. Why even go to elementary and highschool when you're just gonna end up as a menial worker?

      "Yeah thanks, but NO thanks! You can keep your "responsibilities", I would rather play a great (off-line) strategy game!"

      Let's see if you can still be happy in playing video games once you're in your 50s and above. Good luck on not feeling empty. Mostly, good luck on how you will feel about your whole existence in your death bed. Let's see if you can still put on a smile while playing video games on your death bed. Seriously man, try imagining those times. I dare you.

      You seem to be under the impression that "going to college" is a sure, guaranteed way to avoid winding up working at McDonalds. Well, no, it isn't. I went to "college" (for five years), and it hasn't helped me at all.
      You also give me the impression you think that those engaged in manual labour are "losers". Well, they do the kind of work that simply has to be done, and there are very few who have what it takes to persist in those fields. I will readily admit I wouldn't want to do something dirty and dangerous, even if the pay was fantastic, so those who are both willing and able deserve our thanks and admiration, not scorn.

    Yes damn right it is.

    If you have a job that potentially can result in a fair amount of stress or similar levels of braining. Then gaming is one of best and quickest way to reduce that stress, let your brain dump tons of thoughts.

    as with all things, extremes are dodgy, however a few hours a day or maybe a full day session with mates and pizza is fine.

    a huge number of people I know are devout gamers, some of older lot have played from day one and still going.

    As long as it doesn't effect the rest of their life. It's like everything. Cycling is good for you and I really enjoy it. Sometimes I'll stay at the park all day. No one comes up to me and say that is immature. It's a difference of preference. My ex was addicted to the office. I didn't hate on her call it immature. It's what she liked and that's ok.

    Yes , playing video games is equivalent to watching tv , Now if he is in a relationship and constantly ignoring his girl then that can be an issue and if he is lazy as shit then I can see why a girl would get upset but if he is only playing for a few hours after he worked all day and he is just relaxing then she shouldn’t say shit

    As long as you can balance the other aspects of your life that is important to you, it's fine. It's all about balance. Any hobby or job or even relationship can be bad for you if you don't have balance.

    Sure, but I also think it depends on the person. I think it’s a little more acceptable for me, a single 21 year old college student, to play for a few hours a day at the most, than my 30 year old brother-in-law who’s a husband and father to play til 3am and cause him to sleep in til 9-11 am sometimes.

    I don't like them myself, but I don't see why not. I mean, what's the difference between a night in front of the TV or a night gaming? At least gaming can be social, and it is far less brain-dead.
    Or do you mean something more? Are there signs that this individual is playing games at the neglect of priorities, like, working, eating, taking proper care of themselves?

    I mean... Games are just a hobby and a way to kill time and either relax or release pent up energy depending on the game. As long as they don't do what I do and use them as a way to escape from reality and do nothing but crave the fantasies within to keep themselves from having an existential crisis or overstep and commit the irreversible sin of suicide. ... I think I need to go see my therapist again.

    Obviously. Do you think it's "ok" to read books, watch TV or go to movies regularly? Then why the disparity with games?

    Just because you have it in your head they are "kiddy," doesn't mean they are.

    I think it's moronic and a waste of time to play golf. But there are people who find value in it and it's their thing. Just because I hate it, doesn't mean it's "wrong" for everyone.

    "regularly" is not the term I would use in this case. I drink orange juice "regularly", but it only take about ten seconds a day, and let's me swallow my pills more easily. If someone play games so ADDICTIVELY or FREQUENTLY or IN SUCH or TO THE EXCLUSION OF OTHER THINGS IN LIFE, THEN it becomes a social crutch or addiction and NOT a good thing.
