I've played 1619 hours of factorio.
i'd say the game did teach me things.

biggest thing it taught me is that when i do something again, it usually gets better and then when i do it even one more time it improves even further, usually.

i've been playing video games for over 30 years, since i was 6 years old and this is by far the most sophisticated user interface i have ever seen in a video game.
this is software tailored to the wishes of the user.

Time moves a lot slower and you have more of it if you don't waste it playing videogames. If that's not enough for you, consider this: In 10 years, you may want to remember what it was like now. Would you have any serious memories of grinding for stats in a videogame? Probably not. If you did, it would only be memories of regret. Do something you would want to remember.

it seems you only look at the negatives.
>Time moves a lot slower and you have more of it if you don't waste it playing videogames.
i'd agree it mostly wastes the time but it also has a few benefits. maybe you don't understand yet that a video game is a big word that includes a variety of different behaviors.
you have some drunk idiot who plays call of duty and is overweight and lazy one the one end. he just wants to pretend to be a soldier and murder people and destroy things.
on the other end you have people playing stuff who like to create.
>Sim City 4 mit the network addon mod
that's a game where you build a modern city. you build roads, designate spaces for people to live and work and make sure there is electricity and trash gets collected.
>Cities Skyline
you also build a modern city in this one has nice graphics in 3D
>rimworld
you land on a distant planet with a small group of people and you build a place to live. has such nice music treat yourselves to this nice music public poo people!
>dwarffortress
also a colony sim. you pick a piece of mountain and then you carve a little village into the mountain with your dwarves so they can live there. dwarves are mythical alcoholic mountain people with short legs. this game was for the longest time only text based (with the game being displayed in matrix-style hieroglyphs). THE WORST POSSIBLE GRAPHICS WITH AN ISANE FINE TUNED DEEP SYSTEM SIMULATION RUNNING UNDERNEATH.
>tropico
you are the dictator of a small patch of land and you build a settlement. it has nice south american music in it.
>factorio
you land on a planet and since you are so good at engineering, you just invent yourself ways to mine the iron, copper, stone, coal, oil,... to build a rocket. all about automation. you can craft a gear yourself but since you want to build so many, you use your gear to build a machine that builds gears and then you build a little arm that gives the machine the ingredients and then you build another arm that takes out the finished construction from the machine and then you connect the machines with conveyor belts and then you connect the metal plates that your ovens made so they drive themselves to the machines.
to describe what i do with the same word that a consumer plays first person shooter proves how little you understand.
>If that's not enough for you, consider this: In 10 years, you may want to remember what it was like now.
the way you prioritize remembering makes me wonder if you believe your best days are behind you.
>Would you have any serious memories of grinding for stats in a videogame?
grinding implies that it is a chore. it isn't a chore. it can be as positive to the nervous system as dancing is to the body.
>grinding for stats
bitch what? do you go to a painter and tell him that he is grinding canvas? your perspective on life tells the story of constant struggle.
>Probably not. If you did, it would only be memories of regret.
this sounds like something you have collected quite an impressive amount of experience in. the things i learn in the games, i can transfer to reality.
my kitchen is a place of pure practicality. so is how i organize all my belongings. like a perfectly organized workshop. ready to do stuff myself in. i learned how to do this from playing factorio.
what would you do with your time in the evenings if you were stranded in a dumb big city and had time on your hand but not the space or the resources to manifest them in reality?
