    Y’all laugh but there are way too many people into idle games, not to mention people who prefer watching a stream (even without commentary) over playing a game itself.

    I cannot comprehend why, though, just like I can’t comprehend how cheating (particularly single player) can be fun.

      I don’t watch others playing games, either, but someone who likes those streams told me he didn’t see a difference between watching good gamers play games and good football players play football.

      You never used cheat codes in GTA San Andreas and the like? It’s a lot of fun

        I actually thought about that after my comment and summoning a tank from nowhere was fun. At least for a little bit… but maybe mostly for the novelty of it all. Also I was like, 12.

          I mean it varies. It’s fun to just goof off in games sometimes. That’s why sandbox games like Minecraft typically have creative modes, sometimes you just wanna play in the sandbox and have a good time without the more typical game parts tying you down
