[–] kttnpunk@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children) How do you enjoy playing video games endlessly when life is passing you by, skills are going unlearnt and passions undiscovered? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SamXavia@kbin.run [S] 4 points 2 years ago @kttnpunk I think it's because I've had a lot of issues in my past and not many people want me around in life so that's a stuggle, So I end up doing the only thing that seems to want me, what is Video Games. I have a passion in Video Editing that I'm trying to replace some of my Video Game habits with, my first day of attending to do some and then game for a round or so and then back to editing went pretty good, hopefully I can get to the stage I just work on projects instead of gaming all the time. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Boxtifer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Video games are experiences. I feel like I live to experience different experiences. It's all the sources of entertainment media and art all crafted in one experience. Not learning some skill isn't a big deal. There's a number of skills I have developed but then dropped for several years. Only to come back and feel like I have to start from scratch again. You then learn that not all of your time needs to be devoted to a skill that has limited value in return. Video games can also be a passion to some. permalink fedilink source parent
