I was laughing along until you said "watching a stream (even without commentary)". Yeah I've done that one. Sometimes I want to see what's next in the game without spending 100 hours to get there ><. Also watching lets me mentally unwind, playing takes a mental toll.
I think we're all kinda beat down by life, so I don't really judge people on it. I just am not one of them, haha. (But I don't even watch TV or movies much so I'm admittedly a weirdo).
I also don't watch TV or movies -- only Twitch streams. I've been this way even when not beaten down by capitalism and fascism though. Even when I'm taking a break from working on creative projects, it's still nice to be able to turn my brain off and get the experience of seeing the game. Maybe my unmedicated ADHD makes me that way.
