In your case it would seem to be “arguing with strangers on HN”!

I'd say it's more like I'm trying to get something coherent out of people and there's nothing to be had.

What are you on about? You clearly don't like video games and think they're a waste of time, which is fine. Other people do like them and find them fulfilling for whatever reason, which is also fine.

Why are you trying so hard to "prove" that someone's hobby is a waste of time?

That's the question. What is the reason?

People also play slot machines. Are slot machines fulfilling?
