As a kid I'd use that against my parents when I had to get off my SNES. They'd be all like, "quit playing games, you'll rot your brain", and if be like, "How is this any different than watching TV?". It never worked but today I feel a little vindicated.

Sort of ironically, my first real world full time job, when I got hired, the owner had asked if I played video games, and he was then later telling a bunch of people that he thought I'd be smart and good with computers, drawing a correlation to gaming. Idk if his thought process was correct, but I am decently bright and I am pretty good with computers, so that's something.
