Even if they’re not. Time spent doing something you like is not wasted. Tell those people to fuck off.
cepheidvariable
This has been my experience, yes.
dwalker958429
I've started calling televisions idiot boxes. Trying to bring back old slag...like porch monkey.
lightningstrike
I only complain somewhat about video games to my s/o because when he playing computer games with headset it makes things hard to interact..

I agree, though it's much easier to talk to most people about TV than vids.

I think people can do what they want for however they want until it hurts themselves or others.

It's a proven fact that video games help your hand eye coordination. Sitting watching TV just makes you fatter than you already are.

Everything in moderation.
mthornton91
Including moderation.
abundantbadgers
Tbf, I play video games AND watch TV for hours. Thanks, Nintendo Switch.
Enkeria
TV is less interactive, less freedom, and with ads you can't block.
WyattskinthatsmokewagonEarp
My dad, my whole childhood haha

Possibly just that you're more engaged in what you're enjoying. Haters gonna hate, do what you love since it's for you & no one else :-)
myth1250
Right on.
SmallHandsBigPenis
That’s my only issue with hours of gaming, it cuts you off from the world, so if I have a simple question it’s a whole thing
ImNotTaylorSwift
As a wise woman once said, "shake it off".
icantbelieveimadeanaccount
This! I'm a teacher, and everyone talks about watching Netflix all night, but I can't even imagine the response to me mentioning the Witcher
icantbelieveimadeanaccount
I tried talking about books today at a staff dinner, and was answered with blank stares too. Ugh.
Copperbrat
I know two people that hate how much certain family members play video games. Both are social media addicts.
OldGnarDog
I do both equally
realbrickwall
Weaklings. I sit in front of the TV for hours AND spend too much time on video games.
Promethianfire
Or they're some kind of insufferable health / fitness junkie.
Resz7
I've always held the belief that playing video games helps develop critical thinking, puzzle solving, pattern recognition, etc.
Vertisce
Yup. My mother is this way. Then I moved out and don't have to listen to that shit anymore.
Riptide00
They both sound like exactly the type of folks who waste 8 hours every night lying in a bed and sleeping.
JCrouse11
I only waste about 5. Get on my level
derpdiggins
I don’t mind when my fiancé plays games but it is nice to watch a movie or tv together too cause we can both experience it. 1/2
derpdiggins
But I also game with him so I’m not missing out on together time but I know a lot of girls who complain because they just don’t play. 2/2
ImNotADoctorButIPlayOneOnTV
I only sit in front of the TV for hours at night when I'm too depressed to play videogames.

sgtcoffman

ThatObviousGuyThatStatesRandomFacts
video games require skills, watching tv requires nothing
B99Reactions
git gud
BigAZNMan
Except trying really hard to pay attention or care. I only care about movies I like. Dgaf about tv shows.
FerrousBuehler
Understanding what you are watching can reauire skill.
Xeires
Referencing Stein's Gate?
FerrousBuehler
Really anything that makes one think.
jpparkenbone
Not really, unless you're playing competitively.
LumpPump
still requires more input than what the remote needs, not to mention games oftenhave you relearn your remote(keyboard/controler) to be good
LumpPump
other than the basics like walk&open menus depending on the game your buttons will do different things my remote never teaches me new tricks
TacoPrime
ThatObviousGuyThatStatesRandomFacts
well, trying playing EU4 or Stellaris without skill.
Roastbeefexplosion
Currently trying and failing with stellaris. Any advice? Currently at -1 influence a month. :[
ThatObviousGuyThatStatesRandomFacts

FerrousBuehler
You mean like the people who bitch abkut marijuana ober a cocktail and tobacco?
B99Reactions
No, just videogames, dont compare
plasmabomb551
Uhh what
FerrousBuehler
If you really can't read what I typed and understand it due to the typos aka fat finger, you might want to sue your former or current school
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
Well we know weed doesn’t cause strokes so we know at least it wasn’t that that caused this mess...
AnnieIsOkay
Are you ok?
ButteryButtsButterflyCups
i havent heard anyone say this actually
FerrousBuehler
You've never heard someone who loves to drink complain about people smoking weed? I hear it all the time
ButteryButtsButterflyCups
nope. they either dont like drinking and weed, or they support all of it
vPyro
NONE WHAT SO EVER

nvrmndrnbw
Mostly gamers finish sessions with porn,so for wtf you need a gf?Oh yeah,someone needs to clean,cook,pay the bills,I forgot.
HurkWurk
my wife complains that i spend too much time playing games while she sits at her computer behind me on facebook.
GloriousDolphin
You could be out cheating on her, so vidya is a great alternative
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
Maybe she wouldn’t be on Facebook if you spent more time with her? Idk your life, man.
nvrmndrnbw
What else she could do?Think about it a little bit Plz
GloriousDolphin
You could be out cheating on her, so vidya is a great alternative
ym1r
Is she doing that because you’re playing video games?
HurkWurk
no, shes doing it because she spends all her time getting into other peoples drama. her level of crazy i can deal with. but its still crazy.
datfandomdoe
^ this.
CyFestus
Buddies girlfriend will purposefully be loud and obnoxious when he's playing overwatch and give him the silent treatment. She wants 1/2
CyFestus
Them to "spend time together" so when he's bullied off the game, she turns on Netflix. And they watch that for hours. Spending time together
BunBunIsMyName
I just play Overwatch with my husband. Much more fun that way
enderhx360
But watching "her" shows, right? Time together bullshit
Dontyoudaremister
Well I mean she isn't wrong. He is enjoying the game by himself and not together. I'm an avid gamer but still. I'd be mad if I never got it
karlyan
You know, one does not have to like your partners every hobby.And one should especially not force them to spend time with you.respect and so
Dontyoudaremister
Okay but I'm a gamer. I know most gamers who ignore the shit out of their so especially in a game like overwatch which is a team game.
CyFestus
It's hard to explain the whole situation in an imgur comment, but she does game. It's when he games that she has a problem.
kamibara
There's Time when you need you time to play with friends. It's a balance of hey let's spend Time together but still have you time.
