Video games are a great way to beat boredom. The thing is about them, there are so many to choose from! How could you ever find one that you would like? There are shooting games, fighting games, adventure games, role playing games, racing games, and the list goes on. And not to mention, there are literally thousands if not closer to a million types of games under each genre.... So, the question is how do you find something you like? Well, start by picking the type of games you enjoy, then look for popular games in there. Then you try to find the game you most enjoy from there. Once you figured out a few you like, you need to start concerning yourself with the community of the game, and if the people playing it are people you want to associate yourself with. Sometimes the community for a game is really helpful and supportive and can help you and others play the game better/ learn more about it/ get more people into it. Other times you're going to find games with communities that are quite literally the opposite. There are some games that have very toxic communities and that can drive people away from the game.
The other thing I want to touch on in this post is about the stigma that goes with playing video games. People for some reason think it is a bad thing that they play a certain game, or that they should be ashamed of the games they play. I think that is quite an odd concept to have thought of. Everyone has something they do with free time, so why does it matter if you do something you like to do ( game). I understand that many people don't want to be seen as "nerdy" but over hundreds of millions of people play video games. Also, people think that playing a game competitively is strange. I am very competitive in two different gaming communities, and now that you know that, would you have expected it? People aren't defined by what they do with their free time. So, the idea that gaming is something to be ashamed of, is crazy.
