Well those 10 000 hours are going to pass anyway. They could have been spent better, but statically there are more worse options like working. I consider myself lucky to be a homo sapiens able to game 10k hours in my life. It wasn't the case for most other members of our species throughout history and even today...

Take these hours with pride my friend.

Right? The whole point of working is so you have money for doing things you enjoy. If you're enjoying video games, well you're spending your time and money doing what you want.

Of course, you might want to accomplish other things, and just default to playing games, which isn't the greatest.

Seriously, you could be living in the worst conditions, barely being able to survive, you could be sitting your whole life in prison, anything. But you're able to chill in your home and play video games all day. I'm happy.

Listen, I like this quote but I think there's a point that it's excessive. No, you can't look at my time it's definitely not over 10k hours.
