[QUOTE="DragonFox91, post: 77525893, member: 432108"] Yeah, exactly. I was just thinking this the other day & is a big reason I gave up video games almost completely from about 2010 to 2020. It really is a 'virtual world' designed to take you away from the real world - the world God created & the world you're intended to do things for real. I caved & bought a Switch this year finally but do good at playing it only a couple hours or so max each week. Anything more than that, I find it controls me rather than I control it. All I want to do or all I think about is the video game. Makes it hard to enjoy other things. & it's never-ending so you always feel you have to return to it. It's not even like other forms of entertainment where you put in a 2 hour movie & it's all done after 2 hours. (all tho now-a-days people binge-watch 40 episode shows in a day. I never liked that either, I'm ready to do something else after a couple episodes no matter how good the show it). Me too. I prefer older games too , my interest in them has gone way down, & I promised the Switch is my last system. But I say that every system. Usually what happens is friends & family insist I get the new system & I eventually cave right when the next system's about to come out. I just bought a Switch June 2023 due to peer pressure & promising the 3DS was my last system. I find them too time-consuming & it feels more like a chore to play them than real fun or relaxation, but I think it's okay to play a couple hours a week or so, or w/ family & friends. Anything more than that is just not healthy. [/QUOTE]
