#Gaming #Memories / #Games as a way of consumption

For me, games were a way to keep doing something, and then escapism from lack of something elsewhere to do (else I think we wouldn't do it so hard but society was so dry).

Many boys / youth / men (yes even you perhaps reading) I think are still in this mode so as a 2-in-1 I'm writing to say "hey" society might want you to play all day or not have anything else that war outside but doing something more personally created and passionate is also needed (you might just have to create this)... Even 30's 40's 50's people are playing like there is nothing else to do or even that it's responsible to do it so much.
I'd like to sat "No" because it's not responsible and perhaps we need you in life and also to stop letting game makers feed off you as a kind of slave (don't mean it to sound all preachy but really a bit of games OK... but slave to the machine NOooooo)

So the memory and statement that most of my life was playing games (and other stuff but really playing ike it was my job) and now realizing gardening and growing as a game and communication with others is a greater join) this could be something the same for you...

Back then for me I'd say it was a time killer - to keep one busy installing the next thing... consumption

The fact that there was no better people or things to do out there helped me sink into games - and in those day people contact was far between (more expensive) and I didn't know how to reach them / too young / wished my parents found something else by actually asking me instead of complaining..
