RE: Everything Changed
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
When a person is young is the opportune time to get set up financially but it's also the best time to devise strategies and create habits that will pay dividends as one moves though life...as someone who has done so, and reaped massive rewards from it, I can assure you there's value in it.
I played a video game or two, remember the Atari 2600? (It's doubtful you will.) I never had one, but a friend did and I played it a few times.
I was around 17 years old or so when computers came into my world (1987) but I had so many (much) better things to devote my time to (and I'm glad that was the case - see first comment above). I learned how to use a computer for communication and work but wasn't a gamer. I played some Ghost Recon for several months in about the year 2001 (online with my brothers), but soon lost interest in that.
I live in the real world and never saw video games as valuable enough to my life to do them with any real passion. Fortunately I have worked at other pursuits and have had financial success and a pretty amazing and fulfilled life for that reason. I'll never go back to video games. Life is a very short thing, unpredictable too, and I don't see much value in spending it in front of a gaming console living a pretend life that actually has no tangible value. Some see it as relaxing and I guess it might be for an hour or so, but life is not on a screen, it can be touched, heard, smelled, tasted...it's there to be lived in reality. That's my take on it...of course some may prefer to live their life in a pretend world that will ultimately cease to exist when the end of the game is reached.
So, no I don't have time for gaming, or any inclination to do it. Life is more than a game could ever be and the sooner a person realises and embraces that the better their life will be.
wow atari 2600. Yes I've heard about this and seen it before in pictures but yes this is too ancient for me. I never played Ghost Recon either. If not wrong the first games I played were Mario and pokemon.
I see that's a fair take on it since everyone has different views on things and different passions in life.
There are some people that do it for a living though as a pro gamer or a streamer and of course the people that create them. I think it's cool that they get to do what they love, make a living off it and have financial success. I actually had a dream when I was younger to be able to make money from gaming. who knows maybe in the coming years web3 gaming will really make a place and people will be able to earn a living from it. It's like pre video days who would've imagined in the past that people would make money filming themselves in their life and uploading it online
This topic i guess would have a lot of vary opinions on who explains their thoughts. I can understand and respect your perspective on it even though I may not feel the same way. I'm glad you were able to explain your stance so I could understand why some people may not be too fond of video games.
Have a great weekend! Thanks for hosting as usual and reading my post and everybody elses.
Some play games, some do not, that's really all that needs saying.
yes sir and I feel that goes along with everything in life . some smoke, some do not and so on. It's still interesting to understand the opposite side though so thanks for sharing your side
