Comment Ugh, fighting games (Score 2) 30

Back when arcades were a thing, there used to be a huge variety of games, everything imaginable. And at some point around the early 1990's all the variety went out the door, and it became ALL fighting games. Nothing else. That's when I forever gave up on going to arcades.

And they all died off soon after that, at least in my area...

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the genre.

Good point. But I was trying to be brief and not write a dissertation.

What I mean is that what many people find "fun" can shorten your life. Whether it's bungee-jumping, car racing, skydiving, playing video games!, watching the telly from the couch, etc., ad infinitum all have certain risks.

I'd imagine that bungee-jumping is FAR riskier than playing video games. If that bungee breaks, it's all over. Some people like to play video games. Some people like to bungee-jump. It's all a personal matter, and a matter of an individual personally managing risk. The government has no business in deciding here.
