 Many people think that gaming is just a waste of time, including many gamers. Today I will be discussing is it actually a waste of time, and so you do something else that's quote-unquote more productive. Gaming isn't a total waste of time. If it was, we wouldn't be investing so much time into the hobby. Why do we play games? Well, for entertainment. Now is entertainment a waste of time? Well, I don't think so. It could be better spent doing productive things like learning a new hobby. But I think that most players come home from like a busy day to play. I think we all need those moments where you can just relax. And gaming could be one of those relaxing things you can do. It leaves stress because it takes you away from your life, and you can think in another world. I think it starts to be a time-waster when it's your main world, however. Here's what I mean. If your life is like mainly based on gaming, like you wake up to play games, you think about playing games tomorrow, that's clearly a problem. It has become your world. It's not a world inside the real world. Yes, it can be addicting to grind out a bottle pass or to play some matches. But it comes to a point where it's truly taken over your life, where it's replacing your schoolwork and your social life. At that point, it's just, it's not like a stress reliever anymore. And you're trying to escape the real world. But for those who play, let's say, two hours a day, is it worth your time? There is always something more productive you could be doing. But again, a mental break from all the work you did that day is good. Think of it this way. If you're grinding a game for two years, an hour a day, is it really worth it after you move on to another game and forget about it? Well, most people would say no, because they could've worked on school or work more. But I think that the memories you made during those two years are equally as important, even though it might seem like time wasted. Especially if you still haven't finished school, I think that gaming after you finish your work is not time wasted, because a lot of great memories come from those moments. You would definitely regret basing your whole childhood on doing your schoolwork. If you're already set when it comes to school, gaming should not be something that you consider to be a time westerner, or should be considered part of your childhood. It's good to find a balance between work and school, and I think that gaming is a great stress believer. Thanks for watching, and I hope you see gaming differently after this video, and have a good day!
