“Gaming instead of a real life. What a pity.”
LMAO. You sound like the one leftist, and non gamer, in my family - the Netflix and shopping addict. “Real life” suburban stuff. TV. ESPN. Bowling. Movies. Restaurants. This is a mantra promoted by mass media too, as their passive audience has aged and diminished.
You won’t be able to get your head around this, but gamers pity those like you, to the extent you are even thought about.
In the meantime, I'll be out in the real world enjoying multi-day canoe/camping trips, very long hikes, photographing wild flowers and mountain scenes. I'll also enjoy building rockets, including the solid propellant motors from scratch. Then, of course, I get a kick out of building nice furniture in my considerable wood shop and scratch building firearms in my metalworking shop. Of course, I just have to work in some time for that durn HO gauge railroad system. Did I mention that I also design, build, and program electronic instrumentation for several clients? Oh, I also work extensively with Photoshop. I enjoy rifle and pistol marksmanship.
I can tell my grandchildren about real adventures I have had. You will be able to tell yours all about your simulations.
You are the one who attracts actual pity, not a simulation of such.
