I never understood why sitting on my ass playing video games all day was seen as inferior and less "normal" than someone sitting on their ass watching the big game all day. I enjoy sports too, but dudebro sports fans always acted like they were being "athletic by proxy".
Yeah I've had that same argument with people before. I'm my experience the ones that complain about video games the most tend to be the ones that have the laziest set of hobbies. When your entire list of hobbies is sitting around watching TV, well, just shut up about gaming. Particularly since I've got a half dozen other much more active hobbies.
Yeah I've been trying to do a lot more activities like that recently, trying to get fit. Just doing some kind of routine physical labor helps improve my mental clarity too.
