At 32 I'm called a boomer because I said to hug a tree. Good job. You're right, let's start chopping down them trees because baby boomers like trees... you cunt.

Can please you calm down? You've been spamming this discussion while getting increasingly hostile. We get it, you don't think people should play as much videogames as they do. Good, we get it.

I'm fascinated by people's reactions. The identity to needing video games absolutely intrigues me. So yea, at this point, it's my vice to poke and prod and better understand how people relate to video games. So... yea, I'm identifying with trying to better understand the psyche of those that identify with needing video games every minute of their lives.

That, and I'm actually really curious how many downvotes it takes to get banned.

> trolling to see how many downvotes to get banned

And here I was thinking video games were a waste of time! Heyooo

If you are really trying to understand the psyche, you would be more open, ask more questions, and be less judgy. Telling people to go hug a tree is not how you understand people, and it does make you look bad.

I'm in the same boat as you, tho. I'm in the video game streaming industry... I don't understand at all how people actually watch other people play video games, and I do think there's benefit to disconnect.
