No. They are not a proxy for physical play but I wasn't socialized by the age of 4 so I guess I'm already doomed! DOOMED!! DOOOOOOOMED!!! DOOMED AND DAMNED! So, I'll just keep playing them.
Hym "The meta-game of a competitive video-game can be AS COMPLICATED if not MORE than chess. It's not a substitute for anything but it's no different than spending your time playing chess. Aside from the public perception."

Worldwide source of entertainment seen by some as a waste of time, others as a way to relieving stress, a career to some, even. They’ve been around for over half a century, and the industry, while flawed, isn’t half bad. Great games like Minecraft encourage creativity, and a game like Breath of Wild is something someone with even a second of free time can become addicted to. Sometimes they can make us mad, and that’s ok. Practice and maybe some time away from the game in question, and playing another calming one, can fix that. The formats it can be played in include: Digital(Game files,) Disc, Cartridge, Plug and Play, and the lists goes on. So, video games are cool.
1:My parents hate video games. Apparently they distract from my schoolwork, but it’s summer.

Killing time counting “404 Not Found” occurrences daily. Common “Idiot Mom” behavior. Def not cause of social ills.
“Maybe Mom will beat her 404 Not Found video games someday and graduate to Tetris.”

The rate of time that passes when playing video games, which is much faster. 10 minutes in Video game time tends to be an hour in real time, although it depends on the game.
Example one
Mum "Timmy where the hell you been all day?"
Timmy"What do you mean? I've only been gaming for an hour."
Mum"Timmy, it's 4pm!"
Timmy" Ah crap I thought it was 10! I guess it was only an hour in video game time."

Example two
Mum "Larry dinners gonna be ready in 10 minutes!"
*A minute of video game time passes*
Mum "Larry come on dinners ready!"

Larry "But it's only been a minute? Ah video game time."
