Video games are a big hobby for most of us. It is its own community, and in OSYL, we talk about it often and the impact it makes on all people. Whether it frees us virtually from the stresses of the pandemic, or we treat it seriously like a profession, videos games are all around us to enjoy in some form or another.
In this episode, we have a quick discussion on sports video games, and how we may prefer it sometimes to physically playing the actual sport. Or vice versa.
Throughout this episode, we discuss a lot about the dichotomy of playing the actual sport live, and playing it as a video game. Though they both stimulate our senses in its own way, there are critical (and obvious) differences. Sometimes playing a video game can be beneficial in more ways than just gaming and pleasure, and playing the sport live can be as much detrimental to our health as it is beneficial. Though everyone has their own experiences, we can all agree that sports can help us feel good in various ways.
In the end, it appears that when it comes to sports, there is no right or wrong way to enjoy it. For some, playing the actual sport brings great pleasure, and for others, the freedom to play it in a video game brings just as much joy to the imagination. Bottom line, and just like anything else in life, do what makes you better. If it doesn’t harm anyone in the process, don’t let the judgement of others keep you from doing what you enjoy.
