Music does not "require" physical effort or social interaction. The same goes for books, movies and tv. Would you dismiss those, too?

Video games are an art medium, with exceptions to every one of your points.

Motion control games require tons of physical effort.

Multiplayer games literally cannot be played without other people.

There are games for couples, friends, parties, and quiet alone time.

It's an entire art medium, one which INCLUDES entire other art mediums like writing, music, acting, and more.

Your opinion is based on an incredible narrow interpretion of what video games are and can be. Or perhaps you haven't checked in on gaming in around two decades.

Either way it's resulting in absolutely horrendous advice.

Only a tiny number of the games I play and have played, are ones I would hold off on until I'm over 30 and married. Some people find their spouses because of gaming.

A LOT of games I played had their biggest impact around my 20s.

Games are a hobby. If they give you pleasure and joy, then there is no "better" thing to be doing.

How much of your time at 18 should be spent on hobbies is a different matter, but to dismiss games as an unsuitable form of leisure at that age is insane.

The games people play growing up and as young adults can be formative and massively influential.

They tell stories, frustrate, entertain, let you form social bonds, and even enlighten you in ways no other form of media can by allowing you interactively explore the thoughts of other people.

Plus, I'm not even 30, I am already noticing a decline in my performance in terms of precision and reaction time when it comes to the competitive genre.

Extremely.

But he was also narcissistic enough to basically drop hints the whole time, even as he actively hides. While he knows he needs to stay hidden, he yearns for everyone to know that he is Kira, and to worship him for what he is doing.

He wants to openly taunt his detractors while never giving them actual evidence, but that's stupid as fuck.

He nailed the lie to start, but fucked himself because of his arrogance and ego.
