Imagine an alternate reality where video games were never invented. What would your life be like? What would the world be like in general?
I'd still be doing archery because playing games isn't my only pass-time.
Who only has video games as their only hobby?
Worse
I can't even imagine it

4chan and let's play videos is all you will ever have.
You don't do anything else.
I would probably be much more successful, social, and focused than I am now. I enjoy reading, programming, and being social but I flock to video games often as an easier escapism. Video games don't take over my life, but they certainly slow it down.
Life would be horrible.
I'd probably have killed myself.

There would be way more anime and manga fans that it would dominate the world.

I'd just read more.
Seems quite a few on /v/ play for escapism. So here's a question: If offered the chance, would lonely robots on /v/ accept to be transported to the 1950s as a Chad, with a hot girlfriend, a successful career, and eventually a few kids, but of course giving up vidya, internet, and quality television until you're old as fuck? Let's say your parents are also transported, too.

No, I'd be bored out of my fucking wits. Literally too intelligent for that timeline.
>>385022359
I can't imagine living without internet. Video games I could do without, but internet is way too vital for me.

Do I get mindwiped or can I keep my current knowledge plus revelant 50s knowledge?
>>385022725
You keep your memories, otherwise you wouldn't really apreciate you new Chad life, or miss modern entertainment.
>>385022359
Literally every form of entertainment is escapism. Personally I'd pick the 80s or 90s, were there was still videogames but 911 hadn't happened yet.

Without videogames, Hollywood wouldn't have spawned Pixels. That would be a happy reality
