Is playing online games a waste of time? No I didn't post on the wrong board

Depends on how much pleasure you derive from it and how much it enriches your life.

Most of the time. It entertainment. The ones that make money doing it are less than 1%

Your dopamine is limited. Spend it wisely. Such as shitposting on a mongolian basketweaving forum.

In all seriousness, If I play games I get completely lost in it. All else get boring as fuck.

Haven't played in 5 years. Have shit laptop and shit phone only capable of browsing.

sometimes and all the jank and shitposting about it aside i loved cyberpunk so much that it basically ruined vidya for me until whenever the next game like it comes out.

Not if you play based games like CSGO. You literally can earn money while you play it.

There’s money to be made in online tournaments but ROI to time put in getting to that level of play is probably better spent doing something else don’t you agree?

any money you make in csgo is peanuts. like a few hundred max

Between a trade and another I shoot in the head people on CSGO and call them faggots.

I mean skin drops

>>25576974
Sure. If you collect to trade up or partake in the operations you have a solid chance of making money or at worse breaking even. I made great profit since I played since it came out so I have alot of weapons skins that used to be pennies that are now hundreds. (glock fade, Aug hotrod katowice capulse etc)

I know guys in their mid 30s, and they are throwing their lives away. Stuck in minimum wage dead end jobs, becoming obese or morbidly obese, with every night spent on discord playing final fantasy the mmo or some other want game. One guy is still playing wow.

I still play video games sometimes but I simply don’t have the energy for modern games anymore. I unironically play solitaire whilst watching crypto gains.

If you’ve made it it’s fine to waste your time however you want. But if you haven’t made it, every second you waste is being counted against you.

Imagine spending 10s of thousands of hours on something and having literally nothing to show for it.

Gaming is even worse than porn, because at least you lose interest and go do something after you climax

>>25576592
Limit yourself, I don't play right now but I'll play with a friend when miners will let me buy a video cards.

It's fine, just make sure it won't impact social life and work life.
