  I mean if it works for you and you’re happy, that’s what matters.

  If it were me, eventually video games would just be the new addiction.

  Moderation and all that

    i feel like video games (the ones that aren’t complete garbage brainrot, like most older games) are way better for the brain than most youtube videos lowkey

    like with videos you’re often just mindlessly watching but with games you’re the one controlling everything and you actually need to use your brain

      I gotta agree to an extent.

      If I play a fighting game, I have to focus and react, and I can feel my blood pressure / heart rate up.

      But I’ve also absolutely rotted my brain at 3am trying to max crafting just clicking that fkn rock over and over again.

      I’d wildly guess that, if you don’t let the video games be brainrot, they’re also not quiiite gonna scratch the, “I wanna lay on the couch and let my mind melt,” itch, and you’ll have to face some suck

      Entirely projecting, just what my experience is like
