Playing video games makes people dumber?

ixthUA · July 2021

While playing, even though sometimes i meet smart people, still the majority of strangers i meet do not seem to be very smart. The worst are dolmen farming zerg and random normal dungeon speedrunners. I cannot help by associate them with this poor fooled dunkey:

Replace carrot with CP and it's the same thing. In my experince playing moderately is fine, overworking yourself in a video game is not. Carrot is always there, but don't become a donkey that tramples everything in it's path just because it wants more carrots.

Has nothing to do with games, most people on average are just dumber than you'd expect.

I don't really see your point about grinding though, it's an mmo. We all do it one shape or another.
