The point is to enjoy every day, instead of trying to do things others consider meaningful. If you like playing games all day, do that.

Whom are you living for?

I don’t think this is wise advice. Something can bring joy for a while but may ultimately bring negative emotions if it becomes too large a part of one’s life. e.g. if it excludes exercise, spending time outdoors, in person human interactions etc. It may also rewrite your dopamine and serotonin reward pathways which can be hard to reverse.
You're reading a lot into what I said, and yes, the things you read into it are not wise, I agree.
