My personal thought is being a kid who played a lot of video games growing up, it was simply because I do not have some sort of father figure who was actually available to engage, stimulate, and adventure me.

I think there are definitely lots of myths to video games, in terms of creativity, fantasy, as well as notions of advancement. Yet at the end of the day, if you’re playing some sort of role-playing game, in which you’re strengthening your character, making yourself more dominant and strong, isn’t it better to just build your own real life muscles instead?
