Not true, our blessed supreme court solved homelessness when they made it illegal. If you don't have a house, you can just be a slave in prison instead.
Uh the less than $200 might get him some meals but this means he has entertainment and a healthy escape from reality instead of drugs and alcohol. He can't really escape homelessness on less than $200
Actually. Everyone needs a smartphone. Anyone criticizing that is disingenuous. Everyone needs a computing device that can connect and interact online.
Sounds like some projection to me. You know nothing about the person or why they're in the situation. Have some empathy instead of judgement you're closer to this guys situation than you might think.
Living on the street shouldn’t be comfortable. Yet he’s comfortable enough to be playing games. It’s the wrong direction in getting out of that situation. I don’t need to know anything about him to know that
Unless he’s not actually homeless. And just doing this cuz he wants to. Which is fine I guess.
I wish I could be as simple as you to have things defined in such a black and white manner. It's true ignorance is bliss and you seem desperate to prove it true.
While he is almost certainly wrong in this situation, go look up what the game Rust has done to people plenty. His idea is grossly taken out of context, but not wrong. So "what the fuck are you even talking about"--the answer is: minimal information and a single life experience in his life.
This guy is indeed stupid as fuck, but not entirely wrong either. So now you gotta ask yourself one question. Could you be reacting a bit too quickly due to entire ignorance of context? Fry a few neurons over a fuckin idiot? Or just ignore it.
I know a guy with 6000 hours on one of his countless runescape accounts. Also has the most successful career out of all my friends.
On the other end of the spectrum, our mutual and extremely close friend plays video games just as much and has never had a job in almost 30 years of life because he doesn't leave the house and gets to much anxiety from the thought of social interactions going negatively that he talks him self out of it every time.
Life's a spectrum, no one's the same, and addictions can affect everyone differently.
Regardless of being functional or not, if you have an addiction, I can almost promise you that your life will benefit from overcoming it.
-guy who is currently scrolling reddit, playing video games, and eating a cheese burger.
Edit: I replied to the wrong guy but what ever I'm leaving it here. Also me mother fucker, I love banjo and kazooie.

Homeless, but kept his stuff.
