Because realistically you are, but it's not much of a deal in the grand scheme of things, as long as you don't NEET for years

Too be honest I don’t think it’s wasting your life as long as you enjoy them and can control your playtime. But don’t get addicted to them or you become fat, lazy, and retarded.

Try to go pro or build up twitch fanbase.

Play 12-16 hours per day. Get good. Over 2 years you would have clocked in at least 9000 hours

TBH, everything is wasting your life. You're going to be dead and forgotten in unfathomable story of humanity.

Even if I were a Chad of this age, I'd feel the same way when I had cummed and pushed the woman away to contemplate on the edge of the mattress. I would think that of what the incel I am thinks: "I should kill myself already and get it over with", "one day you will be only memories", "why must I be so low IQ", "It's kind of all for nothing"

Do whatever because it doesn't matter really that much and you don't have that much control over your life anyway. I feel the same way when I'm at the public library in my parts. I feel the same way when I am playing Batman Arkham Aslyum or some shit or Counter Strike. I feel the same way when I'm at family gatherings or visiting friends.

I suppose that is my philosophy on life as a guy who suffers from existential depression as well as looks-based depression. Those two depressions do shifts apparently, so I'm here on Looksmax again after catching my reflection too well on the frosted window of a bus.

Video games are pretty awesome though. And so is the half-century of history and lessons in game design that lead up to theatrical masterpeices like Half Life Alyx, and whole stadiums of viewers watching dorks press Q at the right time in Overwatch pro leagues.

You'll still be a loser and not earning much money. Also the average career of esports gamers is similar to real life atheletes, 16-25ish. You wont go huge as a public entertainer unless you are good-looking for reasons that don't need to be restated.

I know eSports is a stupid profession and a waste of time, I would never do it. But if he's addicted to gaming, he might aswell try to make some some money from it. That's what I was trying to say

That's not my point specifically. Esports is done casually too. Do you remember how your dad knew how to play football as he had joined a game between you and your friends during your childhood?

Those esports gamers who don't go pro will be singing that same story to their kids when he joins the Counter Strike match that his ten year old kid is in with his friends.

My point is going pro as you say it is as improbable as it was when your dad said it. Few are lucky or good enough to make money from tournaments. And viewers on Twitch watch for three reasons: the sport is at a high level, the guy is funny or entertaining (read good-looking), or they're female and being on camera for men to look at.

OP didn't say they were addicted anyway.

But if he's addicted to gaming

I do find this fascinating. Why have I never heard of a man who was addicted to playing football? Maybe matchmaking two teams in real life is much harder than doing it from a pool of hundreds of thousands of other guys who can't leave their gaming chairs.

Might be over for me ngl. I also think like that too, mostly how im just a orbiter in this life and how it will just all be over. If I was chad I still dont think it would be enough. I'll never be good looking enough...
