Isn't the point of downtime to relax and enjoy yourself after you spend most of your time working?

According to some, if you aren't working all the time, you're lazy and deserve to be poor.  WORK YOURSELF TO DEATH, SERF!

Svata just tell the dick to fuck right off. Who is he to tell you what's fucking productive or not. Plus I imagine he does something not so productive on his downtime so who is he to tell you what the fuck to do.

He supports the Milwaukee Brewing Company and their employees in his downtime. He's a real man and a fucking job creator! Svata masturbates his brain with virtual dolls. /bitter snark

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

People who make passive-aggressive posts in this thread about people rather than either letting it go or growing a pair and calling them out directly.

Kind of like this one. Irritating, is it not?

I have to confess I hate it when my kids watch 'let's plays'. I don't mind them playing video games but watching someone else play them?

It's like any other hobby. Watching someone who's really good at it can be as good or better than doing it yourself. For example, I'll bet that you watch far more sports than you actually play, am I right? Same principle with video games.

Kind of true, although for instance I will play a lot more golf, pool, chess and tennis than I would watch, same with swimming, but that's because I never watch them but occasionally play them. I don't watch them because they are rubbish to watch but are good to play.

And while I did once play rugby I don't anymore (and there is a high likelihood I would badly hurt myself if I did try) I still play touch but would only watch rugby and not touch on TV.

Besides, the whole point of video games is that you can play them.

Some of my most relaxing childhood memories were from watching my older siblings play video games. I won't deny LPs share some of that allure for me -- at least when said LPer isn't doing the obnoxious standard-Let's-Play-voice.

Very similar principle. For me personally, there are certain genres that I like, yet are absolutely terrible at (most varieties of strategy, for example). As such, watching some who's really good at it is far more enjoyable than trying to bumble my way through the game myself. That's just one example.

In any case, I'm not too sure how much of a difference it makes to you whether or not your kids watch video games or play them themselves. However they choose to entertain themselves, it all just amounts to pissing about for the sake of pissing about.

I get that and I do try to leave them alone about it and not mention it too much, but it does piss me off. Probably irrationally.

Well, I was going to be anti-Holocaust but because you were vaguely rude to me I've decided I'm pro-holocaust.

Er, his main hobby is selling guns/making ammo (for people who want custom amounts of powder in the cartridge and such).

People complaining about games having really easy difficulty settings.  Not everybody is as hardcore as you, asshole.
