Wanted to fully experience life!
Grew up gaming. Stopped gaming for twenty years. Now I game again. I’ve had a great time. Climbed mountains. Traveled. All manner of relationships. Built a nice career. Now I find I can enjoy games without that, I’m wasting my life feeling.
All humans “waste” time. It’s odd to say reading is better than games. Or movies are better than TV. They’re all just mediums to convey stories. And really, there aren’t many original stories, just the same ones told over and over in different ways.
At least with games, you are actively participating rather than passively consuming. And yes I do read lots of complicated books, and watch fine cinema, and great television.
But I also garden, birding, botany, camp, etc.
I’m kind of curious, I’ve tried Seeds over and over, but it’s unlistenable to me. Especially compared again Dear Science or Desperate. What is it you like about that album? I really want to like it because it’s probably the last of what we’ll get from them. Got any tips on appreciating it?
