Is Gaming A Waste of Time?

[@bandit8903]

I game to live so I can forget everything in life at that moment and to just enjoy something. No matter what’s going on it helps me. Always

[@kingsleyitimi8198]

You're using gaming as an escape from reality and avoiding your problems in life this is what gaming does, there's only going through life no way around it to truly live a fulfilling life that gives you happiness and not short term pleasure like games give you.

[@xDaZez]

Loving the editing. This is very weird because I was joking with a friend of mine only yesterday about this topic for "if we had to do a Ted talk", and you make some valid points.

[@itsgabibelle]

HAHAHA right? this was all building up over the years of me thinking about it.

[@xDaZez]

@@itsgabibelle As we get older it definitely becomes more apparent.

[@lastravenmph]

Nice video, it ties with a lot of the things I believe about gaming. I enjoy speedrunning my favourite childhood games and breaking them apart. It is so rewarding for me when I get a good run or discover new things that playing casually is kinda ruined for me now since it's not as rewarding.

[@ricksanchez665]

3:44 is some legit pro gaming, I always plug in my controller when I jungle.

[@itsgabibelle]

what, you play with a mouse and keyboard? controller gameplay is the only way to get to diamond these days

[@gillynova]

video games bring me serotonin depending on what I play. Getting a lot of kills on Call of Duty or enjoying the graphics and music of a Final Fantasy game

[@itsgabibelle]

YESSS. for me it’s more the graphics and music and immersion in the game i’m playing that helps me relax

[@truebadur171]

hey, great video and thank you for some useful knowledge! though i have kinda different problem with gaming - usually i'm the one telling myself that gaming is a waste of time (even though i know it's not really true) and when sometimes i finally find some time to play a game i don't really feel this satisfaction and relaxation, because these feelings are being supressed by guilt and feeling like i should do something more productive

[@FilthyRat]

That video be proper :O also love your voice Gab, it's super soothing !

[@itsgabibelle]

omg thanks so much!!! someone said i sounded like a karen on my last video 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 this is certainly nice to hear

[@Kremlin-Dusk]

this was the first video that you made that i have ever watched, like a year ago i feel very grateful to have found your content so early

[@moeezS]

Point and click adventure games are very relaxing for me, plus I love the storytelling often in them. This year has had some great ones! Perfect Tides, NORCO, Syberia 3, Crowns and Pawns, and Voodoo Detective.

[@ToriTheDormouse]

Fran Bow is my all time favourite Point n Click. By this point I know all the riddles by heart, but I still go back to it. Highly recommend. (Content warning: It has that 50s asylum aesthetic and can get pretty gory)

[@leeparsons2k9]

Couldn't agree more with you. Gaming is very important for people and it's isn't the same as watching tely for a couple of hours but watching TV is socially accepted but gaming isn't. I just wish I had more people to play games with

[@itsgabibelle]

very very well put!!! i didn't even think of that either!!

[@CM22ENT]

Great video! When I started gaming a lot of the time it was to distract my mind away from the many problems that my younger mind couldn't comprehend.

[@Jolfvaka]

This is absolutely awesome! I love the positivity angle of video games. All we hear is people telling us how bad video games are. But you know what? Video games make my life better. It makes me happy. Why do boomers always want to take that away?! Video games are extremely important for introverts. Yes you can escape and be excited about life when you find life dull and boring and depressive. Also, 1:38 dis you? 5:45 LOL!

[@nalinaran472]

Cool video, your video about Eris Loris was amazing

[@itsgabibelle]

thanks dude!!! appreciate it 😍😍😍😍

[@coughmixture3677]

[@itsgabibelle]

pROUD OF U

[@CameronLeehometoanyone]

This is a really interesting video gbai, loving it!

[@itsgabibelle]

thanks cam!!!!

[@fakename1656]

I am not a gamer at all but this definitely helped me understand it why people are so into them. I will stop being the boomer to my nieces and nephew in telling them to go do something useful. I stand corrected

[@gillynova]

Damn! 2,130 subs?? Your channel b poppin

[@sheepgti390]

Ive been playing truck simluators since I was 6, they very relaxing and i feel i belong in the truck cabin behind the wheel and forget that i have a real 3D, touch sensitive VW Golf on my driveway.

[@SfmGamer9]

It reminds me of my sister because she used to game with me💖 me and her like a lot of stuff and I'm inspired by her in a lot of stuff 💖

[@Whopcap]

My sister bingewatching Netflix saying: Why do you waste time playing games? Me with my arms out: ARRR YA FRICKIN'..!!!

[@itsgabibelle]

exactly 😂😂😂

[@masterpig5s]

3:36 I don’t know why but that just prompted the idea of me doing a video about what university changed for me. “I got a personal discord (account) etc.”. I guess how the pandemic affected friendships and dynamics too. Huh.

[@Joviaero]

Gaming really is the best. Just Cause 3 is my personal favourite. Giant open world with no rules, you can kill enemies/free bases in so many different ways and get creative. The grapple, wing suit, and variety of weapons is unlike anything else. I get a huge sense of joy and freedom everytime I play it.

[@akshaybishonkamal761]

Amazing videoo gbaiisis! now i have hope i can become like ninja! also gaming helped me deal with my hand to brain coordination issue - aka dyspraxia! !!

[@itsgabibelle]

omg i didn’t know that!!!! see?? so many benefits to gaming that people don’t realize 😎

[@woshyyyyyyyyy]

i game to escape my mind. my thoughts are just.. well, to much for me sometimes.

[@henlex6424]

Botw literally kept me sane through covid

[@corn6553]

this video is so comfy i love it

[@synthem9389]

thank you Gabi, that was great

[@NewOldEBM]

UHM EXCUSE ME WHAT IS THE SONG AT THE END OF THE VIDEO IT'S AMAZING

[@gillynova]

that twitch plug LOL

[@JameeCornelia]

I'm not a gamer my wife is and this video may have saved the marriage {jk I don't judge her for gaming I just never understood the enjoyment of Sims and Animal Crossings that she has and this kinda helped me get it so thanks for this lol}

[@MurshaGames]

YAAAAAYYYY I LOVE THIS! Can you believe my reason for gaming is.... pokemon? :)

[@itsgabibelle]

somehow.... i can believe it.... znamekop

[@Reluctic]

DiD yoU kNow zNameKop iS pOkeMoN baCkWards 🥴

[@b1._.x457]

Nice, soon you'll be up there with the big bois& gurls

[@larsreifenberger6800]

Hi, I mostly game between the age of 15-18 And in that time a lot of important social stuff happens. For example there is dance calss, which i did not go to because i would rather play league of legends. And i also stopped going to football because of gamimng. Sure i was not really good at football (soccer) and not really extroverted, but i missed out on a lot of stuff. So one can argue that i would anyway not go the the dance class and do something different. However you rob yourself of the chance of making something social in real life. ending on a positive note I had a lot of fun when gaming with friends, but maybe dial back the amound of gaming time, when given a second chance.

[@GAMECUBian]

This is the Truth.

[@its-just-me-and-my-channel]

Can you list all games you show in the video

[@alexescobar7704]

Drewbi appearance :o

[@itsgabibelle]

[@Suteiii]

[@something1765]

SCHOOL IS WHY I'M HERE

[@something1765]

Stardew valley is the game I play now

[@joriskemper5392]

"What is the reason you game?" "Yes. Stardew Valley is a mental vitamin infusion, btw.

[@CameronLeehometoanyone]

Well, FIFA is bad for mental health and stress, gets you raging, and even you've witnessed me angry on FIFA 😂😂

[@itsgabibelle]

LOOOL TRU

[@napalm4724]

GAME

[@itsgabibelle]

WHY

[@NikoTheLegend]

Needs more waifus.

[@itsgabibelle]

u right

[@arkadiuszjandylewski152]

Bullshit games are not good at relieving stress and they are not good for mental health.

[@cheerful_crop_circle]

So they create more stress for you?

[@gizmobrooch8577]

You remind me of a lady nakey jakey

[@trentonvideofan]

Wait y’all actually play these things?

[@x_xxxx6956]

You are so cute

[@cheerful_crop_circle]
