"Don't play video games, but be fun to be around."

I was nodding along until I got to this one. What in the world do video games have to do with being a fun person to be around?

It was probably a poor example but I read it as "don't have fun but be fun".

It's just an innocent figure of speech he used, I don't see the problem here.

Yeah, it was poorly worded. I just meant it is difficult to have fun because of the expectation to entertain people you are around.

I think the point here is about interacting with a computer vs interacting with the people in the room.
