Shouldn't we be challenging our animalistic urges, or am I just more intelligent than you?
No, because I already do that. But if your animalistic urges don't hurt anybody, and has value in other senses, then perhaps it's worth keeping around.

Stress can definitely cause physical injury.
It does it less to an extremely obvious degree, making it better than physical sports.

Minimizing stress is healthier, therefore you shouldn't want to play competitive games. Games like flower and others like it actually reduce stress and are certainly a much better option.
Only if chronic stress is an issue for you. It isn't for everybody.

Also that you feel competition is a negative unless it pertains to something you're arguing for.
Nope. Competition is a negative. Having a safe outlet to satiate one's thirst for competition in a relatively harmless way isn't. This isn't complicated.

That competitive gaming is harmful to your overall health and shouldn't be counted as a positive.
Physical sports pile on the possibility for physical injury on top of stress. Video games don't.

Stress is harmful and unavoidable. If it's both of these things, then there's no point in bringing it up.
You would have a point if stress was EXCLUSIVE to playing competitive video games, which it obviously isn't. If competitive video games don't stress you out, then something else will. Thereby making competitive video games FUCKING harmless when you control for factors that cannot be changed.

So games that you can spam combos lack depth, got it.
no
games that offer no incentive to do anything else but spam combos lack depth, other than "c'mon it's FUN!!!!" which isn't an incentive at all unless you think of games as stupid entertainment instead of art
What's wrong with entertainment?
we have enough of it
pure entertainment is piss-useless, and it's probably toxic for the brain
it's better to inject it with something that can actually be used in life, and HnS games have always been notoriously bad at that
What do you use in life that you gleaned from Street fighter?
patience, discipline
determination
problem solving
how to take a loss
practicing combos helps with memory, dexterity, creativity, and critical thinking
the game also has a strong social aspect, feeds my thirst for competition, and gives me something to strive to get better at
Competition is wrong tho
not when it's over video games (generally)
humans are competitive by nature, so better to concentrate that energy into something harmless than something harmful, like physical sports
The stress from competitive video games is anything but harmless.
not if you're mentally stable
Stress affects everyone, not just the mentally unstable.
So it's unavoidable, therefore there's literally no reason to allocate it to something harmless like video games.
You're reaching pretty hard for this.
Stress affects everyone but not all stress is the same.
Stress is caused by stimuli and the stimuli vary, as does the amount of stress caused by each stimuli.
If competitive video games causes stress (as I'm sure it does) it's avoidable by simply doing something else.
Which would be stupid if you know how to handle that stress and playing the games give you more value than stopping. If the stress is too much for whatever reason, then competitive games aren't for you.
I'm failing to see your point.
Handling stress isn't the same as not experiencing it. Stress is harmful no matter how you slice it.
What is your point?

You keep using the word harmless, it's not harmless.
It's absolutely harmless.

Cos coffee tastes good, paracetamol stops my headaches, weed was available at uni, chocolate tastes good, it numbed the pain when I had teeth removed, I needed it for my asthma...
And sure it's part of my culture to be innebriated at weddings, funerals and most social gatherings.
I think that covers most drugs I can remember taking.
how does it feel to have such a repugnant culture

aside from social competition, which is debatable, yeah, pretty much
Speed runs drive that competitive urge.
it's also a completely different way to play the game, certainly not intended

You can't tho? Games like DMC often require certain combos to be performed to progress.
so you do the minimum of what's required wow deep game

I was rebelling against myself.
what a badass
why are you so childish man
like "rebelling against myself" isn't the most childish thing i've ever read
...yeah, that's the whole point. i was a child making that decision.
you have no such justification for acting like a child in the now.
you were a child making the decision, and based on how you phrased yourself, you don't seem to regret it a more honest and appropriate response would've been "i was weak and confused" because that's what you were, and apparently, that's what you still are

Man these soundcloud rapper junkies are so weird
Is soundcloud rapper a thing?
Ya it's basically a sub-genre of trap that's become a mutated cancerous genre in and of itself. They might delineate slightly or dip their toes into other genres but they pretty much all rap about the same shit, like popping Xans, feeling sad and being 'aesthetically edgy'.
XXXTentacion is like the prime example. Listen to him once and you never need to hear another artist again because he basically encapsulates the entire """genre"".
X is sick
Literally EVERYTHING XXXTentacion makes is meme-tier.
not necessarily a bad thing

in spite of what your parents and teachers all told you, and against your better judgment, why do you personally choose to do drugs, even though you already know it's not a smart thing to do
unacceptable response(s):
"because they make me feel good"
