the idea that "video games dont increase any real world skills" is so fucking dumb
- Communication
- hand-eye coordination
- teamwork
- social skills
- awareness (both physically and socially)
- an appreciation for the arts
- creativity (Minecraft for example)
- AND SO MUCH MORE!
Neal is right here of course
The idea that playing video games in any way increases real world competencies is the hugest of copes, I don't believe I've ever seen a larger cope
Sure it's a fun hobby, it's also a massive and useless time sink, own it
