    People are so different, I feel exactly the opposite. There’s a bunch of games I’d want to play, but most of the time when I’m about to start playing, I’m just overcome with the feeling of “What’s the point? It’s just a waste of time”. When I’m watching a show I’m processing a shit-ton of stuff, emotions, life, depression. Games are just “for fun”. I just don’t seem to get the same out of games no matter how “deep” or whatever they are. I accomplish something in a game, 99% of the time I just feel “Well, I could’ve used all that time and energy doing something real and now I just wasted all that time for some virtual character in a virtual world.”.

      Wow yeah we really are total opposites!

      Objectively I know I’m not accomplishing anything real when I play a game, but they still capture my “whole brain” like what you describe when watching a show.

      I wonder where the difference comes from. Maybe I’m just more fidgety, so having something tactile to work on while watching the screen does it for me. :P
