Do you ever wish you had never gotten into video games?
| Nah, I've met a handful of really interesting people thanks to my geekiness, and I'm not willing to bet I'd be just as lucky if I went down a different path.
| Video games nourish my brain. Without them, I wouldn't feel so mentally active.
| No. Video games introduced me to new friends, new cultures, new hobbies. I wouldn't have liked music at all without video games. I wouldn't have gained the mindset that has helped me throughout my life.
I wouldn't be where I am now, and I'm decently happy with where I am now.
But, like, I never force myself to play what I don't enjoy. If a game is too life-sucking I do or play something else, yeah?
| Nope.
| Sometimes, on the other hand I wouldn't have learned two different languages, made some of my friends and memories, so it's not that simple...
| no
| Gaming has let me get through a lot of shit in my life and it still does. No regrets. At all.
| I don't regret either, and if you feel frustrated by wasting yyour time on vidya, then take a step back and try to do something constructive, you'll enjoy gaming even more
| The only thing I regret is how damn expensive they can be.
| There literally nothing stopping you to do those stuff now op.
Fit persons play games, lawyers too, they aren't the norm but they're not non existent.
| Sometimes, yeah.
But I think it's mostly the people who ruined video gaming for me, at least, multiplayer gaming.
So I went back to single player experiences and I'm starting to enjoy video gaming as a whole again.
Well, that, and finding non-shit people to play with.
| No. I'm actually in pretty good shape considering I never work out and eat a lot. I'm not skinny, but I'm not chubby either. So body wise it doesn't really affect me.
When it comes to jobs and stuff I'm not an adult yet, but I do sell newspapers. So since I don't need to pay for rent and food and shit I'm good there too.
When it comes to grades I'm doing pretty good as well, without really having to study. So I'd say I'm pretty lucky and have no need to feel bad.

Oh yeah, another point(s).
If I didn't spend like 3/4 of my youth playing NFS and GTA chances are I wouldn't be able to speak english, or at least not as good as I can now. I also wouldn't tinker with my computer to make the games run faster, I wouldn't get to learn how PCs work, and so I wouldn't get my comp sci degree.
And finally, none of us would be here if we didn't play Va-11 Hall-A.
| Yes.

| That you might be some fit and good looking athlete drowning in pussy or cocks or maybe a rich lawyer with all the time you spent on them?
The guilt abd worry wont stop haunting me now every time I play a game where you have to grind at all, because it's just busywork sucking up life energy..
