I'm sure walking outside is much better. Or outdoors sports.

I played video games for about 2 hours already today ... and went for a 20 mile bike ride, played with my dogs, fed the local birds, had breakfast with my friends and hugged and wished a different friend happy 50th birthday.

I'll play a few more hours of video games this afternoon too and play some music.

My point is that people do lots of things. Gaming is a modern form of entertainment and is much more active and engaging than watching TV or mindlessly scrolling a social media site.

		I’ve been just thinking about the last point you made, on video games being more engaging than most other forms of media. It’s quite weird how gaming is still looked down on by the general public. While watching movies and TV shows is considered to be “more mature” hobby, even though it requires less engagement. Wonder what the effects of binge watching are on the brain in the long term, especially compared to gaming’s. If we think about it the latter is much more similar to solving puzzles or reading.

You may need to sit down for this... did you know we can do two things, that are not the same thing?

Can you just not accept that there are others who just don't enjoy sports? Or going out in winter when it's either rainy or freezing cold outside.
