On: Ask HN: What are your (non-hn-related) hobbies?

So you don't watch movies, either? Or read books? Two hours of time in which you learn nothing?

I definitely watch movies and read book, but I feel like I come away from them with something, unlike with video games.

I get that some people do feel like they get something out of playing video games, and I'm not indicting them.

It's a matter of playing the right games. I tend to play shorter arthouse games. Braid, Blueberry Garden, Everyday Shooter, and its kin.
