The video game argument represents some kind of fallacy: A rational actor picks the best form of entertainment which turns out to be video games - how can that be wrong? However, there are many local minima in entertainment and life and many great things require going through a learning curve and preparation. Even the greatest couch enthusiast can remember, say, a magical moment during a pickup basketball game, and surely those kinds of moments are happening in this city right now... |

I would see a pickup basketball game as “pissing my time away”. I don’t like basketball and loathe playing competitive sports.
Further, I really enjoy doing things by myself. I often play video games to challenge myself — it’s me versus a previous version of me.
Just goes to show ya — those “magical moments” are highly personal and defined by the things that give a person joy. And for some folks — like me — that includes video games!
