Outside is boring and, compared to pc gaming, expensive. You have to drive to get anywhere interesting (expensive), there are parking and entrance and camping fees, tourists, and the view is mostly the same as the last twelve times.

Sports leagues are expensive, time consuming, and prone to serious injuries you’ll be feeling for decades (and expensive too).

And then there’s the short and long term costs associated with long term exposure to the sun.

Granted, I’m cherry picking negatives. But by that same token, so is equivocating PC gaming with Candy Crush.

No regrets.

Only in America. Thankfully, 95% of the world's population lives somewhere else.

I was about the say the same. Moved out of the US five years ago. I can hop on bike and be at a national forest in 10 minutes, taking nothing but dedicated bike roads.

I feel very sad for you.
