If you enjoyed your time played it's not wasted. You don't have to be a jester in a friendgroup full of snakes to be happy in life.

If your a jester you care too much about other peoples opinion about you, just stop caring.. Stay silent, look at people who piss you of like you want to punch them in the face, and chill by yourself.

Probably the best decision i've made during my last few years in HS.

fascist britain, you can own all of north america and the rest of your colonies by 1937-38 (and core it all)

just look it up on yt, jimarkus, isp, bittersteel, hollowbeing, that one blue emoji dude, theyve all done guides on it

No it’s not a waste of time, I have like 3.5k hours on counter strike and also lots of time on Fortnite.

I used to regret it as thinking it wasted my time but that’s just saying “I wish I asked her out on a date” it’s not a waste if you had fun, but it’s different if it’s an addiction, that’s why I stopped playing multiplayer games seriously like stopped playing Fortnite 4 years ago and only play counter strike for few hours a month.

It depends on the person, I used to care more about human interaction and being involved but I realized that stuff isn’t for me.

Bread and circus for sure but that isnt always a bad thing if you enjoy doing something and it causes no major harm to you its almost never a waste

If you’re still playing this game, then don’t feel bad but also, if you socialise and have good grades then u good. Is just a hobby u love and nothing wrong yk. Another thing is u locked playing this all day and that’s how u got the 9 hours.

I never found the hype for strategy games I have like 400 hours on HOI and probably around 500 on civ, this is definitely autism tbh.
i just like feeling like napoleon or wellesley, gives me a dopamine rush when i wipe an entire nation off the face of the planet

idk if its the constant clicking and use of brsin power but it gives me what feels like an adrenaline boost
