Its often an addiction, and its foolish to try and portray an addiction in a positive light so I won't. Realized for myself that I needed to have an absolute zero tolerance policy to vidya. The vast majority of things written are trash and the best games are easily better as art

The medium of a book, however shitty, develops skills that no video games do

Even this is doubtful, reading good books is qualitatively different from reading trash (there's that annoying content again), but even if I grant its true, Faker and Flash have more aesthetic value than trash novels in the same way that Roger Federer does

You really don't understand what I mean. Reading develops skills of imagination vocabulary & internality that no other medium has, even "bad books"

A child that reads only trash novels will not get to the same place as a child that reads good ones. My guess. Fire up the lab lets run the experiment

But what you wrote was all video games are bad. Judged as books, maybe, but that isn't the same claim at all.

I had no interest in defending vidya, because my judgment is that people should play it less. Viewing the medium monolithically is wrong; Faker is not your average WoW junkie, he developed while they stagnate. Hence the medium isn't sufficient as explanation.

"Some shit is more palatable than other shit, but to say that all shit is shit, why, that ignores the possibility of more-refined shit!"

The personal and social outcomes aren't predictable based solely on the medium, hence the claim (which is not "the medium is sometimes/almost/mostly the message" but "the medium IS the message", forgive my strict interpretation) is wrong.
