    I was going to show my mom this video but as soon as the lady said "binging is never good." I decided not to. My mom would ignore everything else and just use that one sentence against me

Some are born to be great and others aren't and im not just talking about gamers but people in general who choose to disbelieve or just full on go into denial about these sort of things when there told about them, its real simple if no one believes in what your telling them, in the end it really doesn't matter.

    Action video games might train your kids physically, but they won't go nearly as far as exploration/platforming games.
    Spyro, Crash, Prince of Persia, Bioshock, Resident Evil, Fallout, and Elder Scrolls all fit into this category.
    Games that make you observe your environment, react to conflicts, and even problem solve how to platform for ledges to higher points.
    Better yet; each game will always make you think twice, even though you've played several before it.
    Resident Evil has detail based problem solving: Remember where certain locked doors were, and return to them once you have the corresponding key items.
    Go from that to Spyro where you see a collectible sitting on a ledge, and you ask yourself "How do I reach that?" There's no key here, but it's problem solving all the same.
    Teach your kids to invent solutions to problems, not excuses. I believe games are a good way to approach that.

      We've all been in that one class where the material was just so boring that we couldn't pay attention for more than 5 minutes. Then there was the other class that was the exact opposite. And _coincidentally,_ you did a better job in the class where you enjoyed the material you learned.

      JSPumpkinKing well, they are also not quite wrong in a part...
      Video games are bad not because it makes you stupid or something...
      It's bad because it wastes time, and if you could've done something productive with that time, do it.
      Basically, you can't make a living by playing video games, but then again, from my personal experience, most of what people study at school are never neede in actual life, so... studying is no better.
      A little tip for someone in the internet that I don't even know,
      For as far as i know, there are 3 ways to continuing life...
      1. (The one that can make you the happiest person or the person that lives on the street) try to earn money by playing those games... you can do youtube or make a website or something, but there is a catch, if you fail, you can't do anything... even facing your own family.
      2. (The one that works if you can do it, also the most boring) manage your time, play games only like 2 hours max a day or even less, also don't stop at games, manage everything in your life.
      3. (The one I did and is lucky enough to succeed) just go on as your life goes on...
      Maybe you'll find a hpbby and stopped gaming, maybe you learn to play saxophone and got a living from it like I did and still play games, anything could happen...

      No, honestly, ted talks are usually verbose, but lacking in information. It's obnoxious. They have to talk, assuming people are total beginners, always. That's why they never seem to actually dissect more complex topics, or discuss details. Instead, you just get some vague, broad-strokes message that's supposed to be enlightening, but almost never lives up to the title. So, in regard, to title, I'm pretty sure they are click-baiters through and through. Hence, your reaction.

    My dad was in an accident when teaching woodworking a few years ago. It blinded him in one eye, destroyed his coordination, made it impossible for him to focus on multiple things at once, he now misses the small details all the time (he used to never miss them), and he sometimes gets really depressed, because even with all the therapy he's had there's a good chance he will never be able to get back to teaching. The one thing his doctors told him would help a lot though? *V I D E O G A M E S*, action shooters in particular. People are starting to realize the positive effects that video games have one the mind. Unfortunately, my dad is anti-gaming and hates the fact that I play games a lot, and refuses to even entertain the mere idea of following his doctor's advice and pick up a video game. Honestly, he's also always stressing about not spending enough time with me, but I would love to play a good few matches of overwatch quickplay with him a couple times every week.

      I do understand he might not be up to building games after the accident but they are simple, slow paced, and something he would be familiar with to first introduce him to video games, then maybe move on to something like Super Hot to introduce him to shooting and using the keyboard controls at certain timings and a slow paced learning environment to warm up to it and improve, then maybe go through tf2 first since hero abilities are a little most complicated, but then if he's liking it move on to some Overwatch (Might wanna start off vs AI for practice, and also our community is really toxic to new players)

      Just like you can't trust "experts" that say bad things about what you like, you also can't trust "experts" that say good things about what you like just because it's what you want to hear. As a gamer myself I'd say they aren't a good thing unless you totally have your life together first. If you're a high school kid or lower that's fine, but if you are 19+ you should be playing them casually until you're settled into a job and have a serious girlfriend. Take this advice from someone who really fucked that all up.

    "If the Brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't!"
    Credited to Lyall Watson
    Describes a strange paradox where it becomes impossible to fully understand our Brain. Just think of it as a Carrot being strapped to the head of a donkey just outside his reach, no matter how fast and far he runs, the Carrot will always be traveling the same distance at the same speed without getting any closer.
    The smarter we get, the more complex our Brains become, which means we need to get smarter, which in turn means our Brains need to get more complex....... ad infinitum.
    Maybe you would think there is a "shortcut", that maybe we can use some "tricks" to circumvent this. However, this is also impossible because even if we manage to somehow reach the point of "full understanding" through some strange tricks, the moment our Brains receive the new Information, they will evolve to more complexity which will require the process to begin anew.

    The experience of playing the game, somehow.. changed completely after beginning a crafting discipline of using the gameplay within content about creativity and awareness - about meditation, the celebration of the fact that we are in the mind. I think the action game is doing that in an interesting and impactful way. For example Doom (1992). Action games of the modern day can be the opposite, destroying the celebratory aspect (PUBG, a game that exhibits how you can actually develop a negative habit, an addiction pattern). I think the key ingredient in it is repetition and canvassing physical space to gain familiarity. It has to do with the motion and the geographical element. You can see Alan Watts in the 70s using narration to do exactly what a game is doing, it is a vehicle that carries you through environments, which is cognitively rich/ nutritious. We are wired for story. Repetition is the basic unit of cognition.
