Sure, but video games in themselves don't grant the same physical activity that leads to being more healthy. I'd say the trade off is equivalent, I've never seen anyone become healthier by playing video games. people need entertainment to survive, you realize
I guess if you include that into "being healthy". I specifically meant physically but I hadn't thought of health being roped in with mental health (needing entertainment).
do you think you have to be physically fit to be physically healthy
No, but it certainly helps.
but it's something you don't need
entertainment is something we need, and there are many outlets for it—some people choose video games, which have a propensity to teach people a variety of other skills, like problem solving and even teamwork, perhaps even better than sports can—all without risk of getting physically injured
i'm a writer, so sometimes playing video games can inspire me
so while both are ultimately wastes of time, it would seem that video games are the preferable option
Nothing teaches you team work like sports or war does. Video games are great but so are sports.
risk of injury pretty much nullifies any positive thing that sports could contribute
also >war lmao wtf
You develop te best teamwork fighting a war because your life depends on it. It's the ultimate competition.
no it's just a really weird thing to bring up
because none of us are in war
we're talking about teamwork
we're talking about avenues through which the average person can experience teamwork
well the average person fights wars unless you're specifically talking about us right here right now
Either way what I said is right. Or do you disagree?
i don't disagree but i'm also talking about right here right now
war is just random because the two things we're talking about are sports vs. video games, i'm still confused as to why you even brought war up
It's not random, if you agree with what I said then naturally sports are the next step down from from war.
only if video games are also one step below war
in reality, they're both about twenty thousand steps below war
war > sports > video games
I think we can all agree on that order
We can't.
war > sports = video games
Have you ever played a sport competitively?
why would i do something stupid like that
How can we debate if sports are more productive than games or not when you don't even play sports?
because fortunately i have the ability to observe and recount similar experiences
i don't need to touch fire to know that it's hot
That doesn't really apply. It's not a bad thing to play sports.
putting yourself at high risk of injury for no good reason is stupid, and therefore bad
From your perspective there's no reason, but for a lot of other people there's a ton of good reasons. Playing for your teammates, your town, your city, your country, that's a good thing and it's a good feeling. Of course money is involved too.
the same thing can be said of esports
It's not the same thing, and technically only exists because of real sports.
it's the same exact thing, only people don't get hurt and there's not a giant industry for it which is a good thing no one should be paid millions of dollars to play a sport

I know it's a pasta since the comments told me so
but never answer "playing video games" as your first hobby. Make it sound like something that reflects some productivity at first glance, like uhh... sports or some normie shit.
sports and video games are literally as productive as each other
not to the employer
unless you were applying for a job at a game dev studio
it SOUNDS better to an employer, sure, but to say it's more "productive" is just objectively wrong
If you don't see the inherent value in honing your physical abilities over pressing buttons in the dark, then you're delusional beyond the point that you can seriously qualify anything as being objective.
What about if pressing buttons in the dark is what you want to do for a living
then you're just as useless to society as a professional sports player
people need entertainment to survive, you realize you realise sports stars provide entertainment for literally billions of people, right?
billions of retards
there are good, smart, beneficial forms of entertainment, and there are bad, stupid, and detrimental forms of entertainment
I can see our intellectual intelligence is far less superior than that of yours , forgive us
yes

I find that entertainment media is a fairly recent construct in human history, only barely older than 5,000 years.
Recreation is a mainstay of an enormous number of species, but the fruitless consumption of media is not recreational.
it keeps me from going fucking insane so i'd say quite confidently that it is

I guess, but teamwork is a bit different than just "work together with this person". I view my Rocket League partner in a similar light I do with my baseball or hockey teams, but the teamwork aspect isn't the same. Instead of one person it's more like 13 - 15 guys who all work together toward a common goal. I think the values or at least, certain values you learn in sports you can't learn through video games.
On the whole though I do agree that they're roughly the same in the skills you gain from each.
there are plenty of games where large groups of players make up a team, though

I don't know what version of dexterity you're looking at but video games do not nurture the type I'm thinking of. I don't know why you don't view physical achievements in any regard or at least respect them. Like Sol said there are specific attributes that are developed while playing physical sports rather than video games. To say that video games are less of a waste of time than sports seems disingenuous to me.
i never said they were less of a waste of time—i specifically said that they are just as big of a waste of time as each other
there's nothing to gain from sports that can't be gained through leisure exercise
Oh, well I have no qualms about that. Specific exercises can train in specific ways, sports just makes it more fun.
sports also introduces risk of injury video games are fun, but cases where people have gotten hurt playing video games are rare

Nice counters btw, you definitely shouldn't have tapped out early on that english major.
i used the only counter i needed anything you can gain from sports can also be gained by exercising in your free time therefore, playing sports has a net value of fucking zero

I know it's a pasta since the comments told me so
but never answer "playing video games" as your first hobby. Make it sound like something that reflects some productivity at first glance, like uhh... sports or some normie shit.
sports and video games are literally as productive as each other
not to the employer
unless you were applying for a job at a game dev studio
it SOUNDS better to an employer, sure, but to say it's more "productive" is just objectively wrong
If you don't see the inherent value in honing your physical abilities over pressing buttons in the dark, then you're delusional beyond the point that you can seriously qualify anything as being objective.
What about if pressing buttons in the dark is what you want to do for a living
then you're just as useless to society as a professional sports player

I don't know what version of dexterity you're looking at but video games do not nurture the type I'm thinking of. I don't know why you don't view physical achievements in any regard or at least respect them. Like Sol said there are specific attributes that are developed while playing physical sports rather than video games. To say that video games are less of a waste of time than sports seems disingenuous to me.

I think you might need to look up the definition of dexterity, and after you do that, take a look at those other things and realize that if you weren't a basement dwelling neet you might know that all sports nurture those skills on a far more critical level than video games except they don't and pair them with the development of physical accuity, which lends a synchronicity between body and mind as the two develop in tandem. except it doesn't, and even it does, who gives a fuck you can get that from exercise if you honestly think that's necessary At any rate, the consumption of any media of any kind in any pursuit outside of the scholarly is a waste of time, and those who waste time are a waste of life.
everything is a waste of time, and this is the most obvious fact of life ever please kill yourself and actually succeed this time

if you don't see the inherent value in honing your dexterity/memorization/reaction time/vocabulary/problem-solving/etc. over playing some faggoty-ass game where you toss a ball a few times, then bla bla bla you're a retard

https://www.engadget.com/2017/06/01/nintendo-switchs-online-features-will-cost-just-20-a-year/When Nintendo announced that the Switch would feature a paid online subscription model like Xbox Live and PlayStation Plus, it was vague on the details. We knew the service would cost less than the competition and offer some kind of subscription bonus, but the specifics weren't clear. Today, Nintendo filled in some of those details: starting in 2018, online services for Nintendo Switch will cost just $20 a year -- a fee that buys online play, voice chat and access to a "compilation" of classic Nintendo titles that have been modded for online multiplayer.
Online multiplayer will be free until the end of the year -- probably because most of the features won't be ready until 2018. Voice chat will come in the form of a beta smartphone app later this summer, but the service's eShop discounts and classic game collection aren't poised to launch for months. What's going to be in that compilation of multiplayer-modded classics is also unclear, but at minimum Nintendo says it will include Super Mario Bros. 3, Balloon Fight and Dr. Mario. Fantastic price, and Switch users (all three of us) won't have to worry about paying it for the remainder of the year.
