    i don’t understand the appeal of stuff like roblox.

    i played second life back in 2003 and it was boring as shit to me then. robox just seems like the kid-focused version of that in 2025. and yet three of my nephews are addicted to it.

      From what I understand, it’s more like a Garry’s Mod type game. Just a sandbox that let’s you build fun and/or dumb stuff to do with your friends. I’ve never played but I understood the appeal after it was explained to me that way.

        i don’t like doing dumb stuff because it’s dumb and a huge waste of time.

        sounds like it’s the reality tv of video games.

          I don’t consider having fun a waste of time, just like I don’t consider yummy cuisine a waste of food. Half of the reason to be alive is to enjoy it, and the other half is to endure it.

            yeah i don’t think life is a burden. i notice a lot of people who spend a lot of time doing nothing and bullshitting and consuming low quality products… tend to think life is a burden.

              It sounds like you have a big bias against people who do things you dislike. I hate soccer but I don’t find it a waste of time if it makes people happy, or think less of them for playing it, either.
