Why is it not ok?

163

Families can WAIT! World of Warcraft cannot however. Everyone knows this.

164

Because you’re choosing pixels and ooh shiny versus precious time with people you love, especially during one of the hardest years we’ve all been through?

165

you’re implying a lot, lol.

Last year for our “thanks giving” my mom was drugged out in front of her daughter and grand children. It was hella awkward.

Cool. Then by all means, don’t celebrate. I guess what I meant to say is people who enjoy thanksgiving with family and loved ones choosing a video game is pretty not okay.

That choice is only for people who are so crazy about a game that they feel like they MUST play it for hours every single day, even 4 days after a new expansion.

Thank goodness I’m not like that!

I enjoy it, as long as things like that don’t happen. But you’re assuming a lot.

What if people just want to stay at home by themselves? I guess they’re not okay because they’re just wow addicts. lol

That’s what I’m implying though. If you actively wanted to go to thanksgiving this year, were excited, etc. and decided to choose a video game over it, that’s a pretty big symptom of WoW addiction. I’m just trying to say, if you wanna do thanksgiving, don’t let some freakin’ expansion get in the way of that because you want to be doing content 24/7.

It’s not even a choice.

If you put a video game before your family, you need a priority reassessment.

But furthermore, right now America is in the grips of a pandemic. A lot of people are not going to risk family gatherings just to eat food.

Well, I think it depends. Bottom line is I’d take a look at how much of that game is impacting other aspects of their life before I start acting like a self-righteous psychologist.

you’d be surprised.

If it’s even a choice there’s a problem honestly.

Actually no… I wouldn’t. I just figured saying that was better than saying ‘most of the smart people are not going to risk family gatherings to eat food’

Because big family gatherings + shared food + COVID = super spreader events.

Hmmmm. Family holiday that comes once a year vs a game expansion that will be around for at least 2 years. Tough choice but I gotta go with turkey!

If you think there is a choice, you’re already wrong.

i pick videogames lol

If they try to pass on holidays they have to push back till January so they really didn’t have any good options at that point anyways.

Now I gotta figure out how to take my PTO, first world problems.

I think it’s a good date for indigenous people.

Not a lot of those left, as evidenced by this thread :confused:

For me it’s an easy choice - the game over [certain] people in my family. Just because they’re family doesn’t mean I have to like 'em. :woman_shrugging:

Since my family is staying the heck away from each other because of the pandemic and my birthday is the 24th, I choose game.
