Re: Video games are for kids?

[(Anonymous)]

There are plenty of people around whose lives do consist of working, childcare, caring for their homes, and trying to plan for the future. They're lucky to have enough time to sleep. The idea that they're boring for not having hobbies--or that hobbies are what makes your life interesting, not your work or your home or family--is pretty pathetic, and fairly juvenile.

Re: Video games are for kids?

Yes, but those situations are generally temporary (as a result of having very young kids, being at the crux of one's career, etc.) and said people do have hobbies - they're just presently on hold. They get back into said hobbies when they have a chance, not wring their hands about how those hobbies are "childish" and "a waste of time".

All people need time for themselves.

Not to realize that is pretty pathetic, and fairly juvenile.

Re: Video games are for kids?

I'm aware that time for oneself is a basic need; in the society we live in, it's also a luxury that not everyone has. Besides, for a huge number of people, family time, or time spent caring for their home, is their "me time."

But my point is that our hobbies are immaterial in the grand scheme of things, icing on the cake; it's our life's work, the way we handle our responsibilities, and the way we contribute to our communities, that make our lives worthwhile and ourselves interesting. On the other hand, it's very typical of children, adolescents, and nominal adults who don't want to grow up, to dismiss all that as "boring."

Re: Video games are for kids?

[ariakas]

No, it's very typical of children, and adolescents, to desire to appear very grown up by denying any trappings of childishness, or youth, even the kind that remain beneficial throughout one's lifetime. Of course our interactions with others at work or in the family are extremely important. But we are not the sum of what we do to others - we must grow as individuals and develop our own interests, as well. Dismissing that as unnecessary and simply the "icing on the cake" of life is truly juvenile, friend.

Maybe I just don't move in the right circles, but I don't exactly see many children and adolescents falling over themselves to appear very grown up by giving up fun things and taking on adult responsibilities. On the other hand I see plenty of twentysomethings actively avoiding adult responsibilities. But it's how we deal with those responsibilities that make us grow as individuals. And there are even some hobbies that help us to grow as individuals, but video games aren't among them.

That isn't even remotely true.

On the contrary, I've learned things about myself, improved myself, challenged myself, experienced high art, and made and improved important social connections by playing them.

These things, like so much else, are what you make of them. If you choose to squander these opportunities when you yourself play games, it doesn't mean that they aren't there.
