First if you enjoy learning new languages and you find it useful thats great! Not trying to put you down in any way. However, you say:
> it's probably the closest thing I waste my time on that's like a video game these days yet 100x more productive
This makes it sound like video games are useless and learning a new language is super useful. In your situation this could totally be true but for some people (like me!) learning a new language isn't super useful! If your a video game dev playing games would be 100x more productive than learning a new language and if you travel around the world then learning a language would be 100x better than a video game! I feel like its almost impossible to know whats more "productive" in general.
