Playing pc games is something I did for a very long time, running dedicated servers online around the us and two at home for years. I just dont do it anymore. Ppl are different. You dont grow up in a virual world, just a paid actor wasting time and money. I dont play them anymore, I dont waste my money and never did because I accept it was fun and life is lonelier but fuck it, You only live once. Supporting your habits by learning is a better alternative because most ppl make a choice to deny themself natural awareness to work hard and think about everything they do and are afraid to make mistakes.
