For years, gamers have been accused of using video games as a crutch, a way to avoid the responsibilities of adulthood. But what if that's exactly what they needed? What if video gaming is just a more efficient way to learn how to be an adult?
Think about it: in games, you have to gather resources, manage your finances, and make tough decisions. You have to balance your social life (online friends, guilds, etc.) with your personal goals (leveling up, completing quests, etc.). You have to deal with drama and conflict in a virtual environment, so you can practice your communication skills without actually having to use them in real life!
And let's be real, who needs actual human interaction when you have a good gaming keyboard and a comfy gaming chair? Not me, that's who.
But seriously, video games have a lot to teach us about being an adult. They just need to be approached with a critical eye, and a willingness to learn.
