Thing about the Game Overthinker is that he tries to make a good point, but then loses it in him being an idiot.

For the sake of entertainment I willingly gave up sleep, health, and ambition

Replace entertainment with a career, education, job, or just about anything else that we spend shit tons of time doing and it still makes sense. I get tired real fast of people saying that games are nothing but wastes of time because in the same amount of time, you could be doing x,y, and z. The same is true for anything else.

If a game is a good experience, then that is inherently worth it to me.

If you have a hard time balancing your time between the things you want to do, the things you're obligated to do, and the things you want to do, but hate doing the things you have to do to get there, well, welcome to life. It's going to be a problem no matter how you spend your time.

I have recently been thinking about such subjects of late. Why I waste my life in such minuscule entertainment when i could be honing my art or Doing something productive? But also I have looked at my life. One filled with Favors that will never be paid back, a cheapskate father who steals anything he can get his hand on, a Mother that has Frequent mood swings and injuries, a school filled with several students that a few years ago made death threats to me and Various troubles brought on me By both things I couldn�t control and emotional overloads in my mind causing actions that I would never intend.
Stepping away from this world to cool down or feel like something is the only thing keeping me sane. In my insight I have also realized everyone has their distraction from the real world, whether chemical or mental. Athletes exercise endlessly for both endorphins and a easily repitive task to keep their minds busy . Writers immerse themselves in their own writings. Readers immerse themselves into their books. And so on and so forth.
I think it wise that We know that these are distractions and nothing more.
