Sometimes. Any hobby or activity can be used as means to distract yourself from reality.

whats the point?

>tfw no bara bf

They're a form of excitement and achievement for people who otherwise lack it

so video games are like a drug for people with a shitty life?

To have fun. As long as your life doesn't revolve solely around video games then what's the harm?

Leisure of course.
If you find value in it, it could help the daily grind of life less droning to the point you get a mental breakdown or despair into suicide

Of course

I just keep seeing the same pattern. Video games, social media, the internet, food and drugs are used as some sort of escape but in the end the users life spirals even further and it gets harder to get up and keep on having a good life

You "keep seeing the same pattern" because people don't share their lives with others when their lives are good. Instead, they just live and enjoy themselves.

Actually the opposite, I only see friends/people share their lives on social media when their lives are good and whenever I meet them they tell me how life's actually hell

show me the ultrasound pics of their hearts, wanna know how fucked they look from the juicing.

But you just proved my point: the only people who share their lives with others are the ones who aren't doing very well. Which, of course, doesn't include people who share special moments in their lives when the occasion arises.

any means of entertainment such as books, movies, and interactive entertainment like games can double as escapism. it honestly depends on how you look at it and the circumstances.

Is the point of this thread to suggest that lifting is the superior hobby because you think muscles=healthy?

Fucking smug cat, still right tho

It helps me escape from the fact I'll never have that.

any hobby is superior to video games
if the only things you do in your spare time are vegetative "hobbies" like television, films, and video games then you are an incredibly unrealized person

nope, actually serious thread

yea you might have a point, but i still believe im not wrong

life and purpose is such a weird concept. we only got one shot and this is the shit we do and what even matters?

to distract you from reality

accepted yourself except yourself exit yourself access yourself

most entertainment is a form of escapism
a distraction we choose to take part in because real life is difficult

Not him but i do both playing 15 hours a day, lifting and fapping to 2D lolis, old bald fat men NTR and 3D gilfs, as long as you don't bother other people you can do whatever the fuck you want.

I lift, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a "hobby". It can be fun seeing yourself climb to new heights, and you can meet some great people, but that's it.

whats the point of that?

>3D gilfs
thought I was the only one. Can't say I'm proud of it.

Yes.

hm

For me it is. Escaping from my own brain mostly.

You're a nihilist. Most people know what these things are for; it's just you and some other equally clueless people who don't, no offense. But you are right only because from your limited perspective, of course these things would appear meaningless.

literally just trying to get that every day for a small timeframe will get you that
compare it with how much vidya you have played, its not even 10% of that and you would rock an awesome body
people are just lazy and make up excuses like you did

>tfw be fat obese 27 y/o virginlord with large moobs

I-I have breast cancer haven't I? It's as if god hasn't laughed at me enough.

im not a nihilist. but what purpose do video games serve? literally?

How come it's impossible to find decent gay porn of muscular asian men like OP? They're all either twinks or fat.

fun

literally van darkholme you fucking newfag

hm alright. I guess I see the sense of video games if you come from a rich family and will never have to work, so you have a lot of spare time. But having to work, earn money and study you barely have any time to do anything else.
