Playing games 24/7 is nothing more than escapism, seriously most "gamers" don't even really enjoy the game they're playing, they end up treating it like a job more than anything where it's just the grind to accumulate or improve and they get at it 12-16+ hours per day - it gives people that feeling of accomplishment, tricks them into thinking they aren't just wasting their life like everyone else.

I'm 33, considered myself a gamer since I was like 6 years old. Nowadays I barely ever game, on rare occasion I'll play some random retro game on an emulator but that's about it. I realized I'd wasted probably 10,000-15,000+ hours gaming between the age of 15-25, put everything on hold, fucked up college, neglected girlfriends, ignored friends & family, and for what? so I could rank up in League of Legends, or grind a new piece of gear in WoW? Now that I've quit all that I mostly just feel regret for all the time I wasted. I would have been better off and felt more pride in myself if I'd sunk all of those hours into anything meaningful, be it furthering my education, or learning some arbitrary hobby like playing guitar, I would have been better off spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually. Gaming was a mistake and anyone that's still stuck in that rut of playing for the sake of playing without finding any real joy in the experience (or very rare joy) needs to rethink what they're doing.

Gaming Is Escapism. People play to escape their otherwise dull and unfulfilling lives.

The same thing can be said about gaming. Really hard to go pro. I learned english from playing video games when I was a child, also plenty of games have a lot of math involved in them. What the fuck had I gained if I made some shitty songs when I was a kid? Fucking nothing. Complex multiplayer video games have way more dimensions than playing a guitar.

With respect to the vydia vs music making discussion, remember that the former is just consuming someone else made while with the later is an act of creation/production. To provide a semblance of meaning in someone's life, struggling through the process of creation is an absolute necessity.

So you made all your instruments yourself? Or did you just buy a guitar someone else had made and you just play it? Just like gamers buy games other people have made and play them?

Maybe you're also entertaining some people. What's the difference between that and some gamers entertaining people with their gameplay(streamers etc).

I don't build my musical instruments, so yes in that sense I'm a consumer. But they're tools for creation, not for mere consumption.

For some people music is just entertainment (and that's OK), others consider music making a mere act of mental masturbation for seeking validation (and I understand that point of view).

However when you said:
>Stop thinking you're doing something larger than life when you're making your shitty music man, it's fucking cringy. All you're doing when you're making music is making noises in certain sequences. It's all just entertainment exactly like games are.

You're just reducing that in such a fucking absurd way, that it was you who came across as someone fucking cringy. Games can be inspiring and quite a few OSTs have inspired me in my music making but at the end of the day they're acts of consumption. But they're act that might inspire acts of creation, which is something that you don't do in games considering that they're mostly designed as dopaminergic skinner boxes (e.g. World of Warcraft), trying to suck your time and money.

I understand your point to an extent, and in some ways it makes sense, like "I bought this product, the guitar, and it is entertaining me to learn how to play zelda osts on it or beatles tracks or whatever" and you don't care to go an further, perhaps it is comparable but the difference, and the key difference, is that the guitar can be used and usually is used as tool for creating something, in a way that consuming an album or video game or movie is not, and is thus intriniscally more potentially useful/valuable/meaningful 9 times out of 10. I suppose if you want to hole yourself up in your room and do nothing but watch tv or play games or do drugs and that is what is valuable to you then I can't stop you but the seeking of valuable self-improvement is why I am not playing WoW

although I am shitposting on 4chan so who the fuck am I

Yeah I get what you're saying but there just isn't anything logical about this part at all.

>and the key difference, is that the guitar can be used and usually is used as tool for creating something, in a way that consuming an album or video game or movie is not, and is thus intriniscally more potentially useful/valuable/meaningful 9 times out of 10

1. People can create entertaining gameplay of them playing a video game just like they can create entertaining recordings of them playing a musical instrument

2. There's no such as intrinsically valuable music or any other type of entertainment, it's all subjective.

3. Movie is a completely different form of entertainment than a video game or a musical instrument. You WATCH a movie. You PLAY a video game and you PLAY a musical instrument.

Just because they can does not mean that they do, whereas that is literally the guitar's purpose, also stop with the logic/illogic shtick, what you mean to say is "I don't agree with this part".

I never said anything about music being valuable, I said the learning of a skill is valuable. You're not comprehending anything being discussed because you are overly defensive of playing video games for whatever reason.

I'm not even going to address "the word play! it's the same thing!" because that's just fucking stupid and I don't believe you don't understand the difference

Also to elaborate on the first point, even if a recording of an instrument, or the panting of a garden, or the writing of a book, is not shared, it is the CREATION that is the difference rather than the CONSUMPTION of a piece of media

Again, there's plenty of people who play a guitar in their room alone without anyone else hearing it and never record any of their music.


>also stop with the logic/illogic shtick

Yea...at this point I can clearly see logic just isn't something you do. Like at all. OR you've just been trolling the whole time. Either way this is a waste of time.

>what you mean to say is "I don't agree with this part"

That's literally what you're doing and you can't even see it. Wow, the stupidity. Ok, this has to be a troll no one can be THAT fucking stupid.

>I said the learning of a skill is valuable. You're not comprehending anything being discussed because you are overly defensive of playing video games for whatever reason.

"Durr, learning to play a video game is not a skill but learning to play a musical instrument is durr..what is this logic you mean my feel is more important than logic"

Its not a waste of time and they 'justify' it by enjoying their time spent.
Why bother play musical instruments? Chances are youll never play a gig. Youll never earn a cent from it unless you go busking and get pity change. You just piss your roommates/neighbors off with your shitty attempt at wonderwall.

The initial point of contention was the idea that learning a musical instrument was the exact same as consuming a video game. If you want to pretend that is true then go ahead, I've also already addressed I have no problem with video games and already contended that you can create awesome memories playing games but this whole conversation is in the context of "why aren't you playing WoW" and one person saying learning an instrument would be useless in comparison to nonstop playing of video games. Creating something is more valuable than consuming media. Unless you value playing video games 24/7 more than ever creating anything then fine, it just does not appear to me to be a valuable use of time, hence why I do not spend hours playing WoW. I just wonder how many people will think their time in video games was all worth it in the end *when they could have been* doing something productive, and again, if you're making a career out of, more power to you, if you don't value creativity, fine, whatever

The gameplay is 100 times more complex than in vanilla / bc / wotlk in pve. Don't pretend otherwise because of muh nostalgia. Having 30 spells where your optimal rotation is spamming 123 is not rich gameplay, it's bloated bullshit.

Vanilla babies are the Worst and I hope classic will shatter your retarded nostalgia. I'm sure it will have a niche public.

Reminder that video games are literally drugs, like heroin and all who play gayymemes are drug addicts.
Even watching porn is less harmful (provided that it's white-only 18+ straight softcore porn though, no interracial blacked cuck shit or degenerate gay shit), because incels can at least learn basics techniques of sexual intercourse.

The days of videogayming industry are numbered. Sooner or later white people will finally wake up and ban it, just like they have banned cocaine, meth or "harmless weed", because it's literally genocide against the white race. Young people are dropping out of the society, wasting their best years in gaymes, instead of marrying and making white children. World of Warcraft alone is responsible for millions of ruined lives. Millions of young white men are wasting their lives in MMOs instead of starting a family and have white chidren. Millions of young white women, who cannot find suitable white husbands and are forced to marry blacks and asians. (((Videogayme industry))) is literally enabling the destruction of the white race.

On the Day of the Rope we will see headquarters of (((video gayming corporations))) set on fire by the woke citizenry.

Raids are harder than they used to be but at the same time it lost its feeling of epicness for me. Like i can't get lost in the world anymore. I think it is a combo of lfg, quest helpers than limit your immersion into the world, and lack of community the game used to have. Like back in my day your server had a community where everyone knew everyone. All you have now if you are lucky is a guild of about 40 people who somewhat know everyone but there isn't a family atmosphere like there used to be.
