I have cancer, and I'm in a high risk bracket of dying from corona due to both that and asthma. In times of extreme anxiety and constant mortal danger, the things that bring us relief and help us cope are of paramount importance, and being robbed of them is genuinely distressing.

And when you are looking at the gates of death, you only care about videogames? C'mon, spend time with your family and friends, play some monopoly, poker, etc surely you don't want to waste your last years on videogames? With no disrespect, I just think people have their priorities around.

I'm not going to have cancer or coronavirus for sure, but still I'm learning saxophone and guitar, gymn, swimming, and I'd never waste my time on videogames if I could play some board games or table tennis with my cousins and nephews. Gardening, play with the dogs, etc.

Maybe with age I gained perspective, I'm almost 37 but videogames are for when I am alone and want to chill.

I don't only care about video games. But they are a passion of mine, something I enjoy greatly and which help relieve stress.

I am spending time with family and friends, or at least I was until I had to self-isolate; I need to avoid getting sick between now and my operation or it'll be postponed, which I can't afford.

When you're facing deadly danger, maintaining as much of a sense of normalcy as possible can keep you from losing your mind.

Anyway, I'd rather talk about games than death personally.
