/v/, do you think videogames make you enjoy other hobbies less?

They don't make other hobbies less fun, but I'd rather play a game than do those hobbies despite enjoying them.

Dunno m8, I find it easier to get lost in a good book. Videogames are more about mindlessly wasting time and distracting yourself from suicidal mood.

Videogames make other hobbies seem alot better because more often than not your accoplishing something in real life when you do them. I dont think consumption of media is really a hobby anyway.

other hobbies made me enjoy video games less actually. i was interested by like 3 games at e3, and the only one i remember is The Last Night. it sucks because i really really love this medium but i hate how little people do with it

Then surely reading isnt a hobby?

vidya cant really compete with creating something yourself. I see it more like a timekiller at this point.

Same.

I'm getting more enjoyment out of working on 3d modeling and animating than I do with most video games now. A game has to either have had my attention for a long while, or has to have mechanics in it that continue to be fun.

Otherwise, drawing/3d/animating is a nice hobby, and I have something to show for it at the end, instead of just a few more hours tacked onto my steam hour count and another achievement on the page.

I think so. But if you really push yourself to pursue hobbies where you aren't connected to a screen, I think you'll find the results of said hobby much more rewarding than a game.

This is what I've been feeling, but I just don't have the motivation to do something else other than vegetate after work.

t. brainwashed drones
BUT M-MUH PRODUCTION

Consuming media isnt a hobby. Writing is a hobby, making music is a hobby, etc etc

Basically a hobby is something you have to make. /lit/fags need to get out of their high horses

I understand what you're getting at, but what happens if you don't enjoy games anymore, and you have these ideas in your head you'd want to explore, but you simply can't enjoy or at least keep at whatever activities they involve?

I just went camping with no games and realized it fucking sucks. I think as you get older certain things become more fun than games. I stopped for awhile in my teens because I became way more interested in fucking girls, for instance.

Enjoy turning 30 with nothing to show for it.

You can still create and enjoy games, but at that point you might as well learn how to create something you want to play, then at least have something that is your own.
