Its a recreational hobby. There are healthier hobbies, more social hobbies, and hobbies that build skills or inspire creativity. But its not an unhealthy hobby unless done in excess. The #1 complaint that girls, non-gamers, anti-vidya gurus and "recovering" gamers make against gaming is that it **wastes time**. But it's recreation, wasting time is the point of it.
Time is the only factor for me. We all play less as we get older but mainly because we are busy. We budget our time for what's important.
And the recreation time that we have left is filled with new hobbies. Men do this naturally, they call of a "mid life crisis," but in reality we just get bored. I took up golfing. Stupid sport I know lol don't judge me
This philosophy of "don't waste your time" is worthless when it comes to healthy recreation: when I *want* to spend my time doing something I enjoy more than I want to spend my time doing something productive. Of course too much lounging will make for a less fulfilling life, but no rec at all will make for a short, stressful one.
The second most common complaint against gaming that I hear is that the games today are no longer worth the time due to rushed money grabs and political injection ("wokeness"). I have the solution to this:
#1) Older games, like the thousands of golden-age PS2 and Wii games that you missed. They are free using emulators. Games that are only kinda old are now much better thanks to mods.
#2) Embrace the "problem" for what it is, the true solution to gaming that has been leading us into a new renaissance within the medium! Lemme explain...
There are more mediocre games today because games are so easy to make now. If your computer can handle it, Unreal Engine will hold your hand and make whatever game you can imagine (so long as you don't throw up from UE's disgusting default water shaders). Unity game engine, though woke, will hold your hand less than Unreal and won't make a 3060 explode but still gives a *make a game easily with no prior knowledge* experience. Godot, the open source game engine, is my favorite program in over a decade! I consider it yo be a game, as its been just as fun or more fun to make games than to play them. I've made a 3D platformer and am now playing with a horror / virtual pet / dinosaur shooter lol
I cannot exaggerate the freedom Godot gives. If you like sandbox games, I highly suggest it. Heck, even if you don't make anything with it, its still worth the download to play the free, editable games available in the asset tab.
TLDR: No, I like doing the things I like to do.

vidya is the reason why i got to the redpill in the first place, it defined my personality, my humor my everything
sure if i had 4 fucking kids i'd definitely quit it or at least limit my consumption of it severely but since i have no kids, why the fuck SHOULD i take away the only thing that a White man can enjoy in this ultra niggerized timeline?
its literally the last bastion of White culture which is fought in both indie studios (usually from Serbia or some other based shithole) and modders who do Hitler's work by deniggerizing and dejewifing big publisher vidya? are they not literally fighting the very jewish culture of White erasure by ensuring we get a steady stream of orc (nigger) killing simulators?
or the actual based devs who get their games insta banned (like Angry goy 2 or Black Lives Splatter) which granted me countless hours of pure aryan entertainment?
i can see all the boomer arguments for vidya, twitter or whatever new shiny tech to be demonized as a "waste of time"
**time well enjoyed isn't wasted**, time wasted on gay niggerfaggotry or jewish goy slave grinding simulator (WoW, CSGO/DOTA) is absolutely fucking gay and a complete waste of time
like what's the difference between watching a movie or watching a documentary for a few hours or playing a vidya for a few hours? you're consuming story, soundtrack, gameplay which requires player input rather than passive information absorbtion and to me that will always make it the superior entertainment which i may remind you, that 25 years ago was entirely White, owned by Whites for Whites until the big money jews realized gaming is normalized and isn't just for nerds and decided to buy the entire fucking industry and make it shitty & gay
thus vidya became normalized consumer niggerfaggotry slop, hate not the medium but the jews who subverted said medium.
Halo 1-3 is still great entertainment and Gothic is literally a race war simulator between Orcs & sand people who worship death and White Humans Who worship the God of fire and light
Vidya is a White man's hobby and you can't change my mind about it.
but playing games made 20+ years ago back when everyone was White and modding the fuck out of them? now that's peak entertainment
esp where some devs literally make entire games out of the old engine with voice acting, cinematics and brand new locations/quests/weapons/armors and content abound
i must've dumped at least a good 2000+ hours on Gothic mods (Chronicles of Mrytana Archolos, Odyssey - By Order of the King, Legend of Ahssûn, Gladiator and many other modifications i can't remember off the top of my head)
also Warband has a fuckton of based mods, Zulu Wars which you literally kill niggers as a squad co-op game, Lord of the rings the last days of the third age which again--you kill niggers and sand niggers
in one of the Roman Mods (Emporer Nihil something) you can kill jewish rebels and sack Jerusalem (peak entertainment) and there is also a WW2 mod where you can fight with Hitler against Russia, Poland and other subhumanoid slavniggers who swore allgience to ZOG
i honestly can't even play classical vidya without mods, that's like eating ice-cream without the cream
there is so much content awaiting you on steam workshop alone (not counting moddb and nigsus mods) that will literally give those 2$ cd-key games a long, LONG bang for their buck
The gaming communities themselves that are pushed in our media are just trash though.
The shooters are now just grinding life stealers like the mmo's are and gambling simulators to get kids hooked.
Was just different with sayy N64 and kids playing Golden Eye, Mario Kart for a couple hours, no grinding, no microtransactions, skins etc.
Never did the Halo thing because my Dad always had a gaming PC. I played Starsiege Tribes multiplayer before the aimbots hit and a kid I knew had a few computers for counterstrike lans. Was a lot of fun. The more esports were pushed the more online it went, the more people cheated. Was just a waste of time lol.
It'd the only mass media for which this is true. Movies and comics were always kiked and no living person remembers when music and books *weren't* kiked.
Pre-00s gaming is an interesting cultural artifact in that we can see something that doesn't explicitely hate us.
remember how Christ Mazta broke the cannon and remade orcs as "noble savages" and in the expansion made the humans "foolish racists who deserve destruction"? yeah they definitely jew'd the warcraft series and they did a very weak job hiding it
how do i know? search for Thrall's real name and you'll find your answer
But that's what "Thrall" means already.
> archaic
> a slave, servant, or captive.
"Go'el" means redeemer in hebrew, which what Thrall was to his Orcish people.
Like you said WoW is a kike pysop that basically ruins lives from the same company.
Even a lot of the Eastern European companies are fucked now though or showed their true face. Example Kingdom Come Deliverance II, faggotry from a jewish CEO with pseudo historical jewish victim bullshit propaganda about progroms in a place jews didn't even have synagogues in.
So I don't blame him at all. He has 4 kids and doesn't want to set a bad example and if you had kids like him, their friends are obsessed with influencers and gaming culture atm. It's crazy how much pull they have with kids and I think they were prepped for it with attention span killing crap like cocomelon and tik tok, both of which had heavy jewish involvement in their creation. jews only turned on their tik tok golem when it exposed jews and now they have IDF woman censoring it in the West thanks to our shabbos goy government.
vidya is a wholesome family friendly entertainment provided you don't play kiked vidya, again blame the [kikes] game not the medium
as for Danial Vavra he really was playing the long game with KCD, which honestly confused the fuck out of me because the first game was a basically a Christian nationalist game where the antagonists were called "goatfuckers" and you played as White Chrisitan bloke killing cumans and saving damsels in distress with no bullshit
the second game is a lot gayer, but overall? this year had FAR FUCKING WORSE vidya than KCD2
if you play KCD2 and stop the main-quest after you reach the second half the game, you're going to have a good time
if you do go through the main quest, you're not going to have a good time
also use based mods musa replacer which not only deniggerizes him but changes his dialogue using A.I which now makes him a southern Italian physician rather than some nigger sand nigger physician
unfortunately the pogrom quest is tied to the story so you can't fucking skip that because the devs were so jewish they jewishly designed this shit to be unavoidable and unskippable
my recommendation is to go through the jewish slums and kill every single fucking jew you find there, pay the fine, then pickpocket your gold back from the guard and then do the quest (and remember if you kill an NPC on hardcore, he's gone forever therefore the jewish pogrom will feature very little jews because you already killed them all ;)
TO INNOS I SWEAR MY LOYALTY
the same fuckers who bash on vidya also bash on boomers, White women and other non-problems when the real problem is jews and jewish subversion
There is a strong argument to be made that, if you are actively enjoying yourself *while doing a thing,* you are not doing anything worth doing and thus your time is absolutely wasted. Caveat emptor for procreative fucking, as 'casual' fucking still fails this test.
I don't have time to make it, but generally it goes something like 'there is a cost to be paid for improvement (whether of yourself, your house, your skills, whatever)', and this cost is why the things worth doing are struggles. You remember the struggle fondly once it is over and are happy you went through it, but the actual process of doing the thing is painful. Examples: studying for anything, working out, learning skills, career climbing, maintaining relationships of important people (e.g. your parents), fixing things, making new things, raising anything very young, so on and so forth.
Type 2 vs type 1 fun - if the fun is type 1, you absolutely are wasting your life.
kinda like Angry Goy 2 except its in First person, Dark Messiah styled combat with elements of magic as well
you can make it modern graphics, or make it like PS1 graphics (like Sword Hero) frankly graphics isn't even a priority, as long it has kick ass tunes and plenty of niggerfaggotkikedyke carnage to go around
