I want to read books and get smart but I also want to watch YouTube and play dumb video games. The conflict

@scoot Play a dumb video game that's about reading books.
-
@extremedash Sort of doesn't quite fulfil the criteria. I'm still doing the dumb thing
-
@scoot Watch the Brain Age TAS. It's three of those four things at once!
-
@scoot You're playing a game and reading. Which cancel out I guess any intelligence gain.
-
@extremedash So I don't fulfil the criteria of "get smart"? Then what's the gain here?
-
@scoot A game about reading?
-
@extremedash Sounds dull
-
@scoot Not if you do it right
-
@extremedash Name one example, then
-
@scoot Skyrim. Just actually read the books.
-
@extremedash Wow nope, sounds extremely boring
-
@scoot text games?
-
@awl The issue is more that I want to convince myself to read instead of wanting to play games all the time. I didn't mean "I wish I could combine these desires" I meant "I wish I could be more interested in smart things"
-
@scoot well that beats the suggestion of compromise by reading a particularly dumb book.
-
@scoot Text adventures. Good times.
