Why do people play games and not live real life?
There are fans of car simulators who buy steering wheels, expensive video cards, VR helmets in order to participate in virtual races. Why don't they do it in reality? If you like driving a car so much, buy it and work as a taxi driver, you will also earn money. Some people drive Euro Truck Simulator 2, but they could drive a real truck. Why don't they do it?
There are fans of sports games like FIFA 2018. What's the problem with buying a ball, going to the nearest stadium and playing football or basketball with other people for real?
There are MMO fans who spend months pumping up a character, doing stupid work, like “bring 5 tailsâ€. Why not do the same in real life. You can go to work, get a job as a packer, for example, communicate with people, upgrade skills, gain knowledge in reality, do everything the same as in MMOs and get real benefits from it. But gamers don't.
Many people watch porn in VR, although they could fuck real women.
If fans of shooters. They, instead of shooting at the monitor, could just join the army or play airsoft and shoot with real weapons. Etc.
But people are fleeing reality into the virtual world. Why?
In general, the author motivated me, and I ordered a silver and steel sword for Ali, cooked a "swallow", trying to find a recipe for "thunder".
Oftop - where to get rubedo, posony? do not offer fly agarics

There are only fly agarics (psss .. I can get Toadstools from under the counter) I order a wyvern head from you

If the swords go through customs, and you send the grebe - at least the head of Elvis!

And there is no way to carry swords with smuggling, well, for example, in the belly of a giant
Why do people ask rhetorical questions on pg, and not on a bench in the yard. That's why.
Well, if you fail the quest in real life, you won’t be able to replay from the last save. And there is no autoregen, and first-aid kits do not replenish hp. Ammunition is not lying around in every box. And a bunch of other life's mischief.

And in real life you can't fly out through the windshield at a speed of 200 km per hour. Shake themselves off to throw the dude out of the first car they come across and drive on.
many are running away from reality, someone is sick, maybe disabled, or just don’t have money, maybe they’re just a freak and women don’t give, so when a normal person is engaged in this shit for days, then this is already a disease or addiction .. well, play in moderation, I think not hurt, a kind of relax) and even better to find a gamer woman, then generally a buzz)

Are you serious? Give me money for a car.
Why don't they do this?
Firstly, there is less responsibility in the virtual, and secondly, people in these jobs are not always good ones.
Well, even if they paid from 30k to 50k a month, then anyone would go by taxi or truck.

I myself do not mind playing all this in real life. But I have no feeling for the ball. Even when I watch football on TV, I do not see tricks, strategies and other subtleties of football. I only see dudes running around with the ball and trying to beat each other. In real life, people who play well gather for the game, and I play in real life purely for the sake of the game. They always kick me off the field, like I don’t know how to play.
There are MMO fans who spend months on character leveling, doing dumb work like "bring 5 tails". Why not do the same in real life. You can go to work, get a job as a packer, for example, communicate with people, upgrade skills, gain knowledge in reality, do everything the same as in MMOs and get real benefits from it. But gamers don't.
You compared the incomparable. In the game, people in fantasy (and not only) gamble and engage in all sorts of virtual gathering. There's a lot of variety here. Also, the work of a packer is not so interesting compared to all kinds of virtual work. You will communicate with people, you will pump the skill, but this knowledge is not so interesting. And again - if they paid from 30k to 50k, then everyone would work as packers.
Many people watch porn in VR, when they could fuck real women.
Where to get them? In Russia, brothels and prostitution are prohibited. And beautiful women give to the boys they like.
If you love shooters. They, instead of shooting at the monitor, could just join the army or play airsoft and shoot with real weapons. Etc.
Also good. But only in the game you can feel the interest and other buzz from the virtual opposition to the invasion of an alien threat, etc.
But people are running from reality to the virtual world. Why?
Nobody is running from reality. It's just that in the virtual there are opportunities that are not in real life. And all this is flavored in accordance with their interests and preferences for the game. In the virtual you can be someone and do something that is impossible in real life.
All thoughts on this subject were expressed, but I will also throw in mine:
Because in games you can be whoever you want, even if all at once. Because in games you can become what you could never be in real life - a magician, dragon rider, orc, dog, whatever. Because games require less effort. Because in games you can quit your job at any time. Because in games you can travel through worlds that don't exist in real life. Because in games you can become a hero without making a lot of effort. But... Reality is still better, because in reality you can play games)))))
Well, for example, I like to play for female characters in games, so why are you suggesting that I change my gender?) Yes, go on #uy!))
From the point of view of the brain, there is no difference between playing a game and living a real life. And here and there there is a living of situations and obtaining a certain experience in the process of cognition by the subject of the object. Roughly speaking, when a person sleeps, he also thinks that everything is real, but he could not sleep and live a real life. Same thing with books, movies, etc.

Dude, at least teach me a fireball. And it’s even cooler to keep in real life to get a bullet in the head and load saves. If you teach cheats so that I alone would endure the American army, the bubble is off me.

I think that speaking about the benefits of MMO, a person had in mind the possibility of monetizing this type of leisure. I have a friend who did a good job with gear and charms in the line. And what you are talking about - the lack of development of useful skills - is also legitimate for the vast majority of professional occupations: if you just "do work", without a conscious volitional impulse to development, then at best, stagnation of personal growth awaits you, or even totally a regression.
In our yard, schoolchildren often play football, despite the presence of gadgets. One of which is a music column via bluetooth. They turn on music, the guys have fun. There are no drunkards in the yards, good neighbors can call policemen. , skidded from somewhere

Yeah, and crash to hell.

Traumatic, isn't it?

Yeah, it's very "cool" to just die because of politicians.

Now the opinion of the normis would be taken into account in 2019, well.
