It's always seemed to me that people who play video games get defensive about it as adults because they don't want to be lumped in with those who use it as an escape from real life and never grow up.  That said, one of my brothers in law plays games nightly to decompress and is married, has a family, and full time work as an engineer, so I don't judge.  Different strokes for different folks.  I'd rather go fishing if I had an afternoon to myself.

I'm married, I teach at a college, I'm taking classes of my own, I walk and play with my dogs twice a day, I paint, practice guitar, cook, exercise, hike, camp, backpack, mountain bike, fish, shoot, read, watch movies, watch tv, play board games, play DND, go to events, and make time to visit with friends and family.

I also play video games.

Most people just waste too much time on in between stuff or just move too fucking slow.

Why does it take you 30 minutes to shower? Get in, wipe soap on your body, get out. how long does it take to wave your hand around the length of your body a few times? How long does it take to walk into the grocery store? Why do you need to spend 5 minutes playing on your phone in between every activity. Slow walking around your kitchen and moving your arms slowly while cooking, what a waste of fucking time.

Nice.  I bought an external drive just so I could play NCAA 06 (the one with Desmond on the cover) on my old 360.  Still my favorite by a mile and the only video game I play.

Excited, I thought I saw that only a handful of schools were going to he in it.

It'll be interesting to see if that changes now with NIL settling in. Everyone was all panicky when they first announced and schools were opting out of being in the game.

I'm sure football coaches will sell it to their admin as a recruiting advantage to be in the game.

Also interested to see if EA will negotiate NIL so they can have actual players in the game rather than QB #7.
