Because of television, urbanization and social media we have lost the beauty of walking. No wonder pre-WW1 was the best history period for literature, philosophy, science and medicine. What if walking and thinking is the key for a better world?

>How much of your time and energy they take up
Not much of time desu, but a lot of energy. I feel drained even after 30 minutes of gaming, the feeling is worse if I play a multiplayer fast paced title. So no, videogames is not my first hobby, I am more concerned about the mindless surfing on the internet and I am realizing it right now. Compared to gaming, It's even HARDER to quit it, I already read some books about the topic (Deep Work, The Shallows, Digital Minimalism) but it still there. I spend too much time on computer doing useless stuff overall (10% vidya, 90% internet addiction). Again, my feeling brain is hooked when my thinking brain knows I am doing bad. This create a cognitive dissonance which hurts me.

> But all the blockbuster crap seems really bad to me
I am even more addicted to blockbuster crap.
> It's the same fucking boring mechanic over and over again
This is why is so addictive. Plus very good advertising
>it still feels like a pale juvenile comparison to taking an interest in real things, like philosophy, natural philosophy, history, high literature, etc.
You nailed it. That's totally true. This is why I think vidya is a total waste of time.
