There are a lot of Clueless adult out there, did those adults test it?, do a scientific experiment on game? how many sample? without proof, it's just a trash talk shouldn't believe everything that you heard,

@jensenraylight8011 I absolutely don't! Most of what I learned about drawing I learned from video games and many of the earliest games had some extremely well composed music. So many art forms in one package.

@@its_aj251 lmao yeah, there's this one time my friend A got a sneaky kill at B, after the game ended, A said he's gonna go offline. Then so, B started to talk bad stuff about A. But the thing is, A hasn't gone offline yet, and he heard it. That's the most awkward thing lol.

Same, but in Uno.

@@jamesestelle7260 tru

I am not a ds player and I have a question? Is Sekiro harder than ds or vice versa, one thing I know about ds is that deflection means death whereas in Sekiro dodging means death so I am really confused rn

@@jamesestelle7260 ah I see, Sekiro feels more like a rhythm game to me tbh

Tarkov is a totally stress free game... I recommend it to anyone who likes casual shooters

Wow. This is the only time I have ever been able to start a conversation since I was diagnosed with introversion

Can't relate. I don't use video games to forget about anxiety. I have learned enough from them that the moment you have anxiety, you make sure to destroy it right then and there. I play video games for fun and to improve my mental health and it's been working quite well. I have improved a lot.

Are you sure about that?

_definitely_

Absolutely...

"I'm fightin' for my life here!"

Look reasonable enouf for me

@@ThylineTheGay unfortunately that tends to be very true

I was driving in a blizzard. The speed limit was slowed to 10 miles per hour. I drive that normal takes 2 hours took almost 7 hours. I was going down hill, with chains, slowly pumping at the breaks and still slide out. We ending up spinning around to face traffic. There was a semi coming down the hill. Because of the grade and snow the were having a hard time getting down the hill and wouldn't have been able to stop. I literally had just enough time to back up, turn around, and start driving again. My buddy I was traveling with asked me how I did that and stayed so calm. I just answered 30 years of gaming.

@NEO tell that to my mom

Lol

@NEO does it count if its a way of me escaping reality

Sitting on a couch watching football all day is worthless. Or soap operas with the annoying crowd laughter all the time

@NEO tf tell that to my mom hell round house kick you bcs gaming inst healty said my mom

Nice😂😂

As someone who has beaten bloodbath geometry dash definitely does not reduce anxiety

yeah, that's true xd

LITERALLY EVERY HORROR GAME EVER THOUGH 🤣

If I dont play a game for 23 hours a day I cant function 🤣

@@jazzyjamess1693 that.... Actually sounds like torture

Sounds to me like speedrunning minecraft and resetting all day for a playable seed where the dragon doesnt perch for 300 minutes

But they do, even horror games 🎮.

You ain't gonna be caught playing horror games to get rid of anxiety tho

He said that specifically in the segment about "Simple accessible games that can be played quickly", like Angry Birds which was shown when he said that line.

Darl souls taught me patients and critical thinking

@@jacocoetzee6429 same, it helps my anger issues. Yes, im not even joking.

Exactly, games like Sekiro, Dark souls and even Getting over it, helps you to be patient and control over you anger. It especially would help those who have anger issues and might help them to regain control of it.

Bloodborne for me I nearly pissed myself when I saw not one but 5 BOSSES AT ME

@@Cat-eq5po Bloodborne was a tough game as well but then you haven't played Dark souls or Sekiro if you think it's that tough to make you that scared.

i mean the only thing that would make a thing harmful to us is overdoing it. eating is essential but bad when overdone. water is good but fatal when drank too much. studying, going out with friends, reading.. are some things that are good but harmful when over done. just the same thing as playing games.

@@cutieoui7772 yea but some parents think that video games cause violence and make you lazy

@@cutieoui7772 EXACTLY I have always had that way of thinking i cant think of a single thing that is good for you if you overdone it

Yesssss!!!!!

@@hjrgf FPS games don’t cause violence, maybe cause laziness

Unless they're horror games then they are right

Horror games increase anxiety even more than exams

@@Burber_ that is an exception

@@Burber_ Anxiety can be kind of good, as long as it isn’t overbearing and constant, if you are too relaxed or too happy you won’t understand real problems.

‘Games increase anxiety’ How? ‘Because you enjoy them’ Nice logic bro maybe you should be the next albert einstein

rythm games i dont really think so except your playing the hard maps like osu 5 stars++ maps or something

@@epirogenesis I always play the hardest maps when I can do it for any rhythm game. And the fact that a miss takes so much from your life in some hard mode levels just lets me screw it up cuz I was trying to save the miss

He said that about "Simple accessible games that can be played quickly".

​@@mythl2179 I really, truly hope you didn't take my sarcastic joke seriously... And so it would mean you're asking me to go on google to delve deeper into topic of healthy gaming. Yeah, I absolutely could read more scientific research about it as there's a lot of it already - but 1) I would gladly hear dr. Mike's opinion on this, as I know at least a bit the research behind it already; and 2) video form of information from someone so easy to understand yet relatable as dr. Mike is much better way of educating those less willing to read research and more willing to judge just because "gaming is bad". So really, "google it" isn't an answer here as I - we - are asking for dr. Mike opinion and so, video on this topic.

My parents didn't mind us playing games. We caused less trouble that way. I've played video games for 28 years and love it still.

If you actually survive getting hit, you got the heal while still jumping rope & shooting at the target. That Jerk was so annoying! Mizar is perhaps one of the hardest video game bosses I have ever beaten.
