Playing Video Games is for Losers — Period!

Playing video games is the absolute worst “Loser Habit” you could have. Hours and hours spent on an ultimately useless skill. Sitting and getting fatter, weaker, and paler. Completely impaired social skills.

Video games make you a bottom tier subhuman. Hundreds, if not thousands of hours can be invested in something that makes you a WORST version of yourself. Years of life wasted playing an artificial character.

Zero real-life accomplishment, but you FEEL like you did something. Does it make you stronger? NO. Faster? NO. Bigger? NO. Are you making money and living the life a human being is supposed to live in the real world? HELL NO.

All your accomplishments can be wiped out by deleting an account. Bullshit yourself as much as you like about a selected few kids making millions. There is a better chance for you to be a Hollywood star than a professional gamer.

What are you going to engrave on your tombstone — your high score, or how many kills you got.

Put a kid in front of an iPad playing a video game and they will stop responding to their name called out by their parents — a quality shared by adult gamers.

There is no denying that games are perfectly engineered to please your brain — just like crack cocaine. A wasted life. It’s a truly evil industry.
