    Beyond that…

    It’s your life, do whatever makes you feel comfortable. If taking quiet time and just sitting and thinking in your home is good enough for you, fuck the haters, keep doing what you’re doing.

      And what if that includes being a degenerate and playing a game nonstop for four days straight? Asking for a friend.

        Completely fine. Unless that game is League of Legends in which case you are pretty much beyond help.

              Its the classic wow experience but with new stuff. The problem it is solving is that many people, myself included, really enjoy the classic version of the game, but its a game that has been around now for over 20 years and been played to death amd completely ‘solved’. So they add new dungeons, zones, change all the items up etc. New expansions dont work because they change the game significantly. Classic vs current wow are completely different games.

              Its also makes a good time for a new player to join because everyone is learning again so theres not SO much of a knowledge gap.

                I still don’t get it. They have WoW and WoW classic, so why did they need another version of WoW? What does it bring to the table that makes it worth playing as opposed to playing one of the others?

                  Im not sure if you know Diablo, but I can make a comparison there. People really like diablo 2. There is an expansion(dlc) to that game. Its still the same game, theyre both definitely diablo 2. But some people want to play without the expansion, some with. Thats classic and forever. Then there was diablo 3, some people liked the game but it was radically different despite being the same genre and themes and characters and attracted a different audience. That is what wow expansions are like.

                  So basically theyre just going back and adding dlc to classic, to freshen it up for people who like that game and want more of it.

        As long as you’re practicing decent hygiene and keeping the place reasonably tidy then fuck it, sounds like a killer long weekend.

        I mean, it depends. If it’s just you have the time off and that’s how you intend to use it there’s no judgment there. However, if it comes from a place of depression and using the game as a dopamine escape hatch, that’s not necessarily a good way to handle the depression, but it’s still ultimately your choice what to do with your life. Even then, that’s not judgment worthy as much as worthy of concern for your friend who may not be doing well.

        As a general rule, time enjoyed is not time wasted. You know, as long as you aren’t harming anyone. We shouldn’t be wracked with guilt for enjoying what little free time most of us have.

      With serve ADHD, I sometimes need a day to just sit with my eyes closed, limiting stimulus as much as possible, to recover from battery drainage. I don’t sleep, but it is a kind of rest.

      I mean sure… But if a lot of people truly don’t have the energy to do anything in their free time besides idle that is kinda alarming
