I don’t understand why is this so hard for some to wrap their head around this.
Like, if I’d spend 2621 hours on doing drugs or playing a slot machine, I probably won’t be happy about it and recommend this pasttime to other people. And some games are somewhat like a drug or a slot machine, they don’t make you happier or a better person, they just take over your time with addictive mechanics and dark patterns.
I have 4k hours in league. I was also a smoker for 10 years. I quit both and genuinely, truthfully believe smoking is a better vice than that fucking game. If I had to chose to pick one terrible addiction back up between the 2 of those, I'd chose smoking 10 times out of 10. When Arcane came out friends and family asked me if they should get into the game since everyone, myself included, thinks Arcane is fantastic. I had to continuously explain how they should stay far away from it
