when i get home after work, my girl and I each take our own hour for mindless shit. I game a bit, and she watches housewives of fuckland.
TeeDub121
My mom always criticized me for playing video games. She's very overweight and watches TV all day.
anitabieror6
they both suck
jadda123876
Because people can't recognize what you do as normal. Seriously, I have a grandpa that still believes video games melt your skull.
youknowwhatitis1
I don't think anyone says that...
EzraFell
Admittedly it does take a couple hours to get anything done in Fallout 4.
IHateyouIfyouremoreattractivethanme
The real question is why is it okay to watch fucking anything on YouTube but the moment it's a gaming with its stupid.
mpB2D
Where does masturbation fall in this category? Also, do calluses mean too much or good and ready? *side note my dominant arm is beast now.
lurkingwombat
My ex and I had frequent battles over this.
Tatekei
Same here. She watched shit like jersey shore and keeping up with the kardashians. Really?!
lurkingwombat
Mine thought games were for morons but he would watch "World's Dumbest..." marathons and Wheel of Fortune. Lol
Schmuck4hire
Did he try to explain that when you brought it up?
Iamtoofuckinghighforthisshit
I have always had the fight with my wife about me playing video games and her spending all her time on fb, ITS THE SAME FUCKING THING TARA!
mnicholls11
Yah
justanotherpeon
Because people are judgemental and look down on others for engaging in an activity that they disapprove of.
eclect0
Yeah, MOM!
SexyBatman69
Cause double standards
rddtf3
They're both equally wasteful.
coolbandana
Is it ok to be on imgur all day? ABSOLUTELY!!!
WhatsTheMatterBeavis
Neither is good. Go outside. Do something. Hopefully productive.
MvrdrH0rn3t
don't tell me how to have a good time... you go outside and do something productive
WhatsTheMatterBeavis
That's not the issue. The issue is hypocrisy. I do go outside.
jhs2595
Do whatever the hell you want, as long as you get your other obligations get taken care of.
aDefenseless9yearOldGirl
Neither is a good use of your time, and if that's all you have for hobbies, you're going to become a person who isn't very interesting.
duriancrumble
dark souls is therapy. learn patience, anger management, and calm in the face of endless existential despair. also play dress up!
MeatSparkles
My wife grew up with the farm life, I grew up in the city/video games since I could walk. Took a while to find a happy medium.
BlueLube
Same, except it was my childhood best friend instead of wife. Lol and that relationship demanded effort. I can only imagine yours. Respect
MeatSparkles
Thanks! It took a while for sure, but worth it
SegaGenesisEvangelion
No one says this. No one's ever said this. No one will ever say this. Stop making up a fight so you can excuse your laziness.

Time spent enjoying yourself is never time wasted.
UncivilCivilEngineer
Great point of view!
Gratch2
Enjoying yourself too much will make you go blind
krapmyself
That just a dumb superstition. Well, I'm off to bed but first i gotta comb my Palm hair.
PattiMichelle
TV trains you to believe lies. VGs train you to hate.
NobodyNamedMe
They're both a waste of your life. That being said it's nice to relax and zone out on something occasionally.
ImTooWhiteForThis
If it doesn't hurt anyone, and it brings you joy, it really isn't a waste though
GOAE
Video gaming is at least interactive and can involve hands on complex problem solving
Mycologics
They are most definitely not waste of life. Both are a storytelling medium. And storytelling has been important since the dawn of mankind
whatsisname
Spending hours grinding for diamonds in minecraft is hardly "telling a story"
Mycologics
Or Firewatch
Mycologics
Sure those games are there too. But the inherent story in minecraft is one of survival. Defeating the ender dragon. Making your own story
Mycologics
But games like uncharted, last of us and lots of other games AAA or indie have great stories. Like oxenfree for instance

I was told not to sit too close in front of the tv cause it will affect my eyesight. That was over 30 years ago. I don't wear glasses.
BlueLube
*squints at phone screen due to not wearing glasses* luckyyyy

Who said it's okay to watch TV all day?
lio308
My mom apparently.
Angel666Hawk
Who said it's ok to read books all day?
Salsashark717
My thoughts exactly.
anonwhymouse
My parents
merdock379
People that do it.
Mojokojo
In my experience, the gamer haters usually binge watch instead of gaming.
ASongOfPissAndFarts
I...I don't do either
AnimeDestroyedMyLife
I...I do both
UWantSumFuk
Yeah I game until I go to bed then watch TV on my laptop till I feel asleep
CosmicSentry
What's wrong with (half of) you?!
AnimeDestroyedMyLife
Anime, Video Games and imgur are my existence
LivingDecomposition
I think it's one of those things where people fabricate an enemy to bitch about, like people saying they hate Pokemon Go.
Skeksis25
The people who act like watching football all day on Sunday is what the cool bros do, while gaming for 3 hours = no life.
Tatekei
I like football. But i like gaming too. Gaming moreso.
TallDude
Well, that is a few hours in a week, not your entire evening every day.
lazytitan88
I do both...why I bought a switch!
Kabboose
Because no one likes to admit their own flaws, but love pointing out others.
DavidCarrico1234567890
I see what you did there, you son of a bitch
ticktockbent
Hey fuck you I'm flawless. -nervously looks around-
Angel666Hawk
Who said it's ok to read books all day?
Goosiegoo
I'm a fat, lazy, moderately ugly, piece of shit
Swolebro
How goes it you bastard?
Goosiegoo
Well
Kabboose
Didn't say they couldn't, just subconsciously they don't make the connection.
