Did you watch it actively or passively? Huge difference there. I mean I listen to JRE. Whilst I am working. I cannot for the life of me imagine sitting for 2-3 hours actively watching JRE.

Bit of a false equivalence.

I play games, ive played computer games since 1976 on my Binatone games master console.

But what I don't do is ever play games if there is something 'better' I could be doing instead. And by better I mean constructive as in the production of something tangible.

Games are a waste of time, and sometimes it is good to waste time.

But we gotta be careful. It is not that they have no value, they do. Having fun is itself worthwhile. But there are limits.
