That competitive gaming is harmful to your overall health and shouldn't be counted as a positive.
Also that you feel competition is a negative unless it pertains to something you're arguing for.
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.
Quote from: Poetic Carnage on November 22, 2017, 12:47:45 AMAlso 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.
Quote from: Poetic Carnage on November 22, 2017, 12:46:54 AMThat 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.
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.
Stress can definitely cause physical injury.
Shouldn't we be challenging our animalistic urges, or am I just more intelligent than you?
