This is a pretty silly topic anyways; according to the topic creator only certain kind of activities are defined as "addiction" by his standards. --- End quote --- Excuse me. I made the argument of something totally useless, is not the same as something useful. You can't compare playing a guitar, learning a skill, or self improvement to sitting in a dark basement playing video games alone. You're improving yourself by doing those activities, and they don't have deadly side effects for some. I defined it the way I saw, instead of semantics. You can define it whatever way you want. --- End quote --- Yeah, because no one ever plays video games in a bright lit room with friends, or makes connections online or in person because of games. But I guess some are more interested in certain hobbies then others; there's no need to make hasty generalizations to bolster your opinion. Your argument is just based on opinion alone, and you don't have anything to back it up. By the way, you're excused. ;) --- End quote --- As I said not everyone. But i'm guessing you're talking about couch co-op? Isn't that kind of dead these days with the whole online aspect? |

I had to make some push back or this would be one sided. I don't think it's an addiction but I can educate other views. It's obviously a personal subject. If it's to much for you as usual you know where the door is. |
