Yes, I honestly do. Social media is generally pretty toxic as a kid and I regret the thousands of hours I poured into gaming immeasurably.

There are ways to get interested in things other than hobbies that give you a surface level exposure to hardware and software.

Counterpoint: I played tons of games in my adolescence and I cherish every second I did and I regret nothing. I loved video games and I got a lot of joy out of them. I also made great friendships. I am very glad I spent that time on games back when I had time, and I am sad I can no longer play like this and be part of these communities as it is too time consuming.
