Computer games are really underrated in terms of learning. The amount of knowledge and skill you gain from it is unquantifiable. From the ability to make a decisions in a split second, staying 100 focused, adapting and managing different and new scenarios in the game, to the hand-to-eye coordination is not a simple skill you can learn from anywhere. These skills can be transferred to scenarios in the real world.

Dude... I feel ya. It's a huge problem. I'd say, when you do meet a potential partner, see how hard they work on the current things in their life. If they don't currently hustle on anything, odds are very low they will change for you, and you don't really want to sign up for that kind of arm-twisting anyway.

*"Tobi clearly has a different mental model for building companies than most entrepreneurs"* No I'll disagree with you there for sure. It's _POSSIBLE_ that he knew something others didn't, but a lot of reality boils down to happenstance. A lot more of it also is rooted in privilege, such as having wealthy or connected family/friends.
