Even if video games could function in some educational or learning capacity, they would be greatly outmatched by simply practising self-discipline to find enjoyment in studies.

Three hours spent extracting joy from the solving of complex and challenging mathematical problems carry far more long-term benefits than 3 hours spent playing a video game.

I have sex with my girlfriend, get drunk with my friends and go to gym for recreation.

I've been stuck in front of a screen my whole life. One of my earliest memories is playing some kids game on my dads computer. I'm not saying vidya is bad, I'm saying that its not for me anymore.

Besides, I can not think of any academics who are serious about their field who play any vidya whatsoever.

Don't rush it, OP. Learn to enjoy every new discovery and increase in understanding. Allow your mind to digest what you have learned while doing idle activities such as going for walks or sleeping.

Since you've never really studied anything, I'm sure you'll find the joys of gaining knowledge and understanding quite pleasant. As you assimilate the material, making it your own instead of just remembering it 'from the book', you can apply it to the world around you. Simply sitting on a bench watching people walk by, you can muse about theories predicting what is happening in front of you.

I like you, OP. A genuine interest in knowledge is a rare thing amongst the mediocre masses of today. I wish you best of luck in your journey and hope that you find the answers you are looking for.
