Fat is essential for brain function, and sugar is absolutely necessary for blood and organ function. But too much of them can be sickening, when not used in moderation.
Video games are also bad for you, especially in excess. It is worse than TV for imposing a trance-like state. All the time you spend in front of the idiot box is time you are hypnotized. In the 'use it or lose it' world of neurology, you literally get stupider as you sit there in a trance and make no new synaptic connections. They are also non-reality. It saddens me to hear you say that life is hard and cruel and unfair, but video games make you feel good. Life is what life is, if it's anything it's multi0faceted and complex. Life is unfair and cruel, but also beautiful and miraculous. But to recluse into virtual reality instead of spending our limited time and energy on something more real or constructive is a waste.
And as part of TV culture, video games are an obvious control mechanism. If you are not in control of your thoughts, something else is.
I would urge you, and any other geeks here that have admitted an unhealthy relationship with the objects that are video games to try reality now and again. Try something less flashy and hyperactive, lest you do long-term damage to the function of you mind.
That is what being the devil means. It is evil. It is an object, we are subjects. It mkaes us treat it like the subject, and ourselves like the object. you guys can say 'oh, they're just video games', but i assure you that you are underestimating the power of the boob tube.
