If the world were to end today, would you have any regrets about the time you spent gaming?

If today were the last day on Earth, would you look back on the hours spent gaming with any regrets? How do you think those moments would weigh against other experiences in your life? Would you wish for more time spent on different activities or cherish the gaming memories you created?

Possibly that I may have spent too much of my time on this planet gaming. I know that sounds weird on a gaming forum but you get to a certain age where you wish more time was dedicated to family and studies etc.

No regrets whatsoever. Gaming provided me with problem-solving skills, introduced me to friends across the globe, helped me understand narrative structure and artistic design, and gave me moments of pure joy throughout my life. Some might see thousands of hours 'lost' to gaming, but I see thousands of hours spent engaging with interactive art, challenging my mind, and connecting with a global community – a worthy investment of my finite time.

This is a good question and one I hadn't thought about until now. Thinking about how much gaming I do now and how many games I would still love to play through and complete, I do feel that I would regret not having spent more time playing through the games I wanted to if the world ended today. 

Due to work and other IRL things, my time spent gaming has dropped quite a lot and I do hope to increase it at some point.

No, not really. It was a stress reliever and found it a good way to unwind after a long hard day. Further, it took my mind away from life, and ultimately improved my reaction time that had helped in real life.
