He's right. But fuck it. Game on.
From one perspective he is correct. From the other, completely ignorant.
It depends on how you view life.
/thread.It’s easy for Rogan feel this way when you are worth $100M+ and are connected to celebrities and crazy parties and drugs and whatever else goes on in that scene. Of course you might think games are a waste of time if your filthy rich and famous.
For the rest of us, we have our families, friends, day jobs and whatever other hobbies to make our live
He thinks everyone should be lifting or something
You do them, and they’re real exciting, but you don’t get anywhere.
So..................................................................let me get this straight by your logic of thinking and questioning on why you are still on this website. So....and I mean I'm scratching my head. When you play videogames. You can't have a life? Wow, the ignorance of people like you and Joe Rogan.Its a harsh truth but Joe does have a point. I quit gaming 8 months ago. Bought a new car, I have an amazing new girlfriend, I make a shitload of money and I'm buying a house this spring. I party every weekend, I'm never home. I'm enjoying life. Do yourselves a favor, gaf. Stop trying to make gaming a career. Its cringe as fuck.
gotta love how he immediately brings up an example that is literally the exact same...
I would argue in this day and age it is WAAAAAAAY more plausible to make a career playing video games than to make a career being a martial arts master of any kind.
and learning most martial arts is also a complete waste of time, like every hobby on earth.
you can't really defend yourself with most of the traditional martial arts anyways, that has been demonstrated time and time again, where karate masters get totally fucked by people who did Kravmagar for 5 years.

Any time spent doing something you enjoy, assuming no one is being harmed in the process, is not wasted.
Weed and mushrooms are awesome though, no game comes anywhere near how amazing psylocybin is, unless we had some Matrix like interface and even then, who knows.I mean if we want to be technical everything is a waste of time, you are going to die eventually and you cannot take anything with you. As far as gaming goes I think it is all down to the person to determine what they enjoy. I play games and am not addicted to them, I also workout, build models, paint, hang out with friends, etc. It all depends on the person. To generalize and say that games are a waste of time while you put out 2-3 hour long podcasts is just blah, along with getting high and tripping on shrooms; well idk if you have any right to say what is a waste of time or not in that case Mr. Rogan.
Doesn’t that apply to every pastime?
Like masturbating and having sex feels good and exciting but does it really get you anywhere if it doesn’t give you an offspring?
what's the grey area / what do you want changed?
nobody is forcing you to play fortnite
Does that really count nowadays when most people just do it for the sex? In the age of tinder and one night stands?Companionship and intimacy are important for the one's well being.

You can have that without the sex though? A relationship is more than the sexual implications that come with it.I'd still contend you'd be healthier with human touch, brief as it may be, than without.
This is just something people like to say but is unfounded and unprovable.

Exactly. The guy shelled big money for a T1 line in the 90s so he could dominate at Doom and Quake.He’s cautioning others because he’s susceptible to gaming addiction and knows how it can consume him if he’s not careful.
Game, but have your life priorities straight.
How have more people not recognized thatLOL it's a copypasta
Well, I mean, yeah. He isn't all that wrong. It's a fun waste of time, but a waste nontheless if you ask me. Even fictional books learn me something of value (adding to your vocabulary, teaching new writing techniques, etc). Video games were the sole reason I didn't develop social skills till my 20s. I'll continue to do it, but I recognise it doesn't add much value to my life. Yes, they can be provide you with unforgettable adventures, but those adventures were pretty meaningless in the end. Just my two cents.
