Thank you!
I'm just not interested in pouring vast amounts of time into building game skills that have zero applicability elsewhere. Life is too short. In this sense, video games in general are a unitasker[1].
Now, if there are games with some pedagogical value, e.g. puzzle games where we need to apply/develop knowledge of chemistry to solve problems, I could warm to the idea.

In this sense, video games in general are a unitasker[1]. From my perspective you are doing something wrong. I need to make nlogpost about this or I already made one.
- umvi 5y agoWhy not play educational games then?
- smitty1e 5y agoI could really get into some historical Naval simulation stuff. Part of the problem with games is modeling the "fog of war" realistically. One quickly realizes that logistics, preparation and Destiny are where it's at; the actual fisticuffs start to seem inevitable.
