at first glance you would think that, but they are far worse. They take away something far more valuable than your health. They take away time, lots of it. Imagine what your life would be if you replaced games with weed and started partying, engage in arts and socialise, or use Adderall and study and get better education and improve yourself.

you don't even need evidence. Just translate most if not all those hours spent on games you have on steam to hours spent using those drugs and either socializing with people or studying and getting better grades and improving on your career. Those are just 2 simple examples though, you could devide them on spending more time fishing with your grandpa, learning useful skills, playing with your etc.

you don't need drugs to "socialize and study", and you can do both while playing videogames. Most actual drug users are just addicts dying in some basement.
You saying "drugs make you social xdxd" is literal anecdotal evidence that don't happen in most cases.

What you need to realize is posts like these are written by and for people who are so down bad they use their wasted time hobby (in this case video games) as a reason for failures or "lack of experiences" in life, no matter how generic or easy they are.

why would I need to use drugs in the first place? Go out and exercise mate, get yourself off the benzos
me: >play vidya all the time, and waste away on minimum wage, spending cash on more vidiya.
now that I want to do something with my life, im mentally stable enough to do it. even own a house.
GF: >Adderall for studying, and trying to get ahead, alcohol/weed/drugs to waste her free time away.
she has no self control, fired from every job, cant get a job, cant take care of herself, and only knows how to abuse drugs to accomplish anything, but the adderall has fricked her brain into never being happy, and she refuses to leave the house w/o being drunk. (which leads to her getting into fights with ppl, and the police getting involved.)
she doesnt own a house, and relies on me to do it all.
this same anecdotal evidence has been on repeat throughout my friends 90% of the time. with only 10% being the type who do drugs and play games, and get no where.
video games are far easier to quit/recover from. they DO waste your life away, id be MUCH better off w/o them. but compared to drugs, they are a god send. >i also live in a town where 99% of ppl are either drugged up losers, or vidya obsessed losers. I see it more than other towns where only a small portion are this bad.
>Imagine what your life would be if you replaced games with weed and started partying, engage in arts and socialise, or use Adderall and study and get better education and improve yourself.
People don't really choose their personalities, looks, options they have access to or their early upbringing. This could've never been me because I don't enjoy the company of people and my upbringing and circumstances has made me into someone who vehemently refuses to look for people's approval and can't enjoy people's company unless it's very sparse.

It doesn't work like that. If you use entertainment or drugs to just escape or cope with mental problems, it rarely ends well. That kind of people are why there is the whole "weed is a gateway drug"-attitude. Because they don't smoke it to have fun or be creative. They escape their real life problems they should solve. Yeah, it can be used as medicine for many things, but saying it will make you super creative automatically is a lie.
Imagine if someone said "Bro, you have parental and love problems? Just start drinking bro, many big artists drink you can become next Axl Rose before you know it!"
I like weed, smoke it from time to time when I want to relax and chill. Usually indica based stuff, tho when I smoke with friends, AK-47 is hilarious.
Vidya is sadly the healthiest escapism as it can give you things to INTERACT with, and that is important for brain. BUT, it doesn't automatically solve your problems. YES, it can help with shitty times, but won't fix diagnosed depression.
Get professional help, or talk to your friends and family about your problems.
It is okay to ask help, you deserve to be happy.

The reason I got into vidya was never a lack of praise from teachers/parents, but rather that I’m an autistic who can’t comprehend the appeal of most normie activities. Like, talking to normies feels like talking to English speaking aliens— You understand what they’re saying, but they still feel like a separate species.
Do people really use video games to replace the love they never had from their parents?
Better than drugs, or prostitutes, or crime. Vidya is literally meant to help us escape this shitty existence.

Anecdotes don't count.
the person im responding to accepts anecdotes, and presents them. Hence why i used them.
correct, youre talking to someone who plays mario games. ive always been too naive, and too slown to learn.
close enough.
>mentally stable enough
>is in relationship with a woman who is a junkie rather using drugs in moderation
Oh you are stable alright, just not smart.
He's just an idiot without self-esteem, who jumped in bed with the first woman who replied to him with a "yes" even when she's human garbage
You're a moron

jokes on you, I didn't go to school.
I pushed them away not because of my insecurities but because I had responsibilities more important than a romanticized childhood love life
Anyone else use video games to drown out the sounds of their parents arguing lol? I hate the Cavestory soundtrack for some reason lmao

god what a gayass thread this turned into. Get outside and exercise a bit and play vidya. Simple as. Junkies, go get some rope.
