  Well yeah, they are. Some more exerting than others. They vary from drag races to endurance ones, and some go really fast.

  My point is rather that in driving, the physical exertion mostly comes from having to keep up mental focus and a static position — much like when gaming.

  Oh. Well pardon my ignorance. I’m over thirty if that helps with my excuse.

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Esports_World_Cup

  You’re totally right, it’s just “Esports World Cup”

  This makes me even more annoyed I didn’t get funding for an esports bar back like almost 10 years ago due to some bullshit credit thing that I had actually paid for. After that and my depression I kinda evaded the whole esports thing out of depression for a couple of years, for this exact reason. It’s one of the fastest growing industries and I couldn’t get a loan of a few thousand. Sorry for digressing.

  Anyway, I apologise, you were 100% in the right. Thanks for informing me. And not even being a dick about it.

  My point is that late-summer to late fall is pretty much the seasons for worlds in most esports. I don’t follow literally all of them to know which one is going on currently, so my point is that mentioning which game would probably be helpful, as not everyone is as immersed in the esports scene to outright know which game has Worlds on which weeks.

  Which one? There’s pretty much world cups on most esports back-to-back from now to November, lol.

  Hundreds of years ago, society was so bored

  I think “thousands” would be more accurate. We only have written records going back a few thousand years, and what we’ve gathered from what went on in Göbekli Tepe and other such places, they pretty much did something just for fun as well. I think trying to chase away the feeling of being bored is a quintessential human trait. In other words, our need for novel things is what actually elevated our species to be unlike any other.

  So now it’s about heartrate? Playing Mario Kart and Dark Souls can get your heartrate into the 120+ range. And that’s casual videogamers, playing simple games.

  During professional competitive play, heartrates go up to 180+ bpm. That’s on the level of racing car drivers. Way more than chess, archery, or shooting of any sort would ever have.

  So guess the Turkish shooter doesn’t qualify for you either? Archers? Magnus Carlsen isn’t a chess professional, he’s just a really lucky dude with a lot of money for some random reason?

  So it’s about the amount of physical exertion, not about it being a game?

  So you can’t wrap your head around the concept of professional chess players? Professional poker players? Darts? Curling?

  Hell, in rally, you just literally sit in a car. Such physical exertion! (And I’m Finnish and have been in an actual rally car, before you’re going to try and make a point about how physically demanding you think it is.)

  So guess you can’t fathom professional chess players, professional race car drivers, professional footballers, professional boxers, or professional athletes of any sort for that matter?

  They’re all games.
