Games (especially video games) can be extremely distracting from doing the things you need to do. I'm in school and so I have to work hard to avoid these things because I will not do the work I need to do if I start playing a video game.

Maybe I just need more self-control, but I prefer non-games as hobbies. Programming, listening to music and podcasts, etc.

Everyone is different. I’m really happy you can look at yourself critically like that and realize your own limitations, then work around them. To be honest your comment is the real takeaway here for me (the article was basically “good things are good” and felt quite empty/meaningless).
